Title: Remember
Post by: BillyStubbsTears on April 26, 2024, 11:00:08 pm
All the shit days.

All the awful performances.

All the weeks and months when the table looks worse after every match.

All the times when you wonder why we do this.

Remember all that tomorrow when our lads stand on the brink of a record run and one of the most astonishing turnarounds on the history of football.

Drink it all in and sing your hearts out. This is what it's all for.

Wouldn't be Rovers if we'd won the match 2-0, easy peasy lets get the playoffs done and cya 4th tier.

But we are Rovers and we will do it like we always do, with style, drama, aguish and then great relief!!

At no point was I worried today. I have been living in my playoff bubble since Barrow. The rest has just felt a bit like it was always going to happen. Hello playoffs!!

Todays drama may not be such a bad thing, wins don’t come easy and perhaps this was a real reminder that we’ll need to fight all the way and wins don’t just drop into your lap, even when you think you’ve nailed it.
Here’s to more drama a week Monday, hold on tight and buckle in.

the only poor thing about today is that f**king 93rd minute equaliser at Colchester; instead of 35 miles to Crawley and back for the away leg of the semi final, now I get a 508 mile round trip to poxy Crewe on a bank holiday monday - great  :facepalm: (and I appreciate you lot would have had the trek had it been the other way around, but you'd get to sit on coaches and drink beer for hours - I'll be driving it - shite  :pinch:)

Remember those bleak days you refer to in your op.

Bleak days, bleak posts…..

But not by all. Hats off to all the posters who stuck by this group.

Today was for all Rovers supporters, but extra especially for you who had the mindset to see through all the doom & gloom posted in January.

Neve ever follow the sheep. Follow your heart.

It was great in the end.

Great away crowd, really enjoyed our goals, and then we just about did what we needed to do to clinch our place.

Second half was tough but we’d have crumbled and lost that at any point over the last 3 years.

I thought to myself at HT that it would be too good to be true that we would just waltz to victory today. It’s always a rollercoaster with this club.

I drove to Crawley on the Good Friday game, 5 hours there and 4 & half hours back.
I'm over the moon it's at Crewe lol

Ok we were likely cheated there but Jesus we never get a result there do we? Even at 2-0 and 11 men I thought we were not going to win. Proper miserable curse. Remember Fejiri got red carded there in dubious circumstances also.

Even the setback pf the sending offand the Hills pullback is beneficial.It serves to remind one and all, to keep feet on the ground , especially when your head is spinning !
