I’m in if there are honey roasted peanuts and beer!
Only honey nuts, scratchings, scampi fries and pork pies I'm afraid. Feel free to bring your own or pop to Aldi and grab some
-
I’ll bring some cases of beer and bottles of vino to celebrate our and making it to Wembley!
-
Might pop in at half time, mobile wifi permitting although I doubt it with 13k plus trying to access the mobile network at the same time
-
Popped into Bookers, to up our snack game.
Boxes of Seabrooks Canadian Ham, Nice n Spice Nik Naks and Pepperoni Pizza Doritos for behind the bar.
-
Get a Barrel of Theakstons Old Peculiar in and I will try and visit at half time!
-
Shirt now donned. Let the fun begin.
I reckon Miller will be named on the bench. In the nicest possible way, I hope we don't need him.
COYR.

Come on you redzzzzzzzzz
Half price pints until the first goal
-
This is it! Which team settles the best, and crucially which team scores the first goal.
-
Kin ell.
I've been sat in the beer garden since early doors.
Why didn't you tell me you were all sat inside in the shade?
-
Miller is a back up for joe, we don't have another like him in the squad
-
Alfie May’s here. Where’s the pen?

Wondered who that wierdo in the garden was. You've been nursing that pint for hours
-

Alfie May’s here. Where’s the pen?
Wouldn't surprise me if there aren't a few ex players there. Matty Blair will probs be too. John Ryan
-
Right. I'm nervous.

Arse is going ten a dozen.

Just hope we start well

It wasn't me smoking weed,that must have drifted over from Hallcross beer garden
-
Here we go guys. The stadium is rocking
-
why have we given Crewe the Dons dressing room - surely they should be in a portakabin in the carpark with no hot water, and everyone banging on the walls as they walk past ???
-
It’s a Bear pit in here tonight!
-
Alfie May’s here. Where’s the pen?

-
Come on you redsssssss… Busy in here tonight.
-
Steady lads. A blip.
-
deary me - shocking defending...
-
Why wasn't it cleared before the corner
-
Not a time to panic....
-
Ironside was pulled away by his shirt from the scorer so he couldn’t pressure the header
-
Tommy Rowe has his eyebrows done at the same place as Carlo Ancelotti...
-
Why wasn't it cleared before the corner
Because their player stopped Ironside by pulling his shirt,officials must have missed it
-
Not started well, rushed passes going nowhere.
-
Bloody hell, we haven't got going yet!
-
2-0. b*llocks
-
f**king hell
-
Need the crowd now.
-
Player offside in the middle for the equaliser.
-
Well
-
Offside var would have saved us there
-
Player offside in the middle for the equaliser.
He was onside.
-
No need to panic. We’re better than Crewe.
-
All the bell ends booking Wembley transport must be happy now...
-
well - Barrow again then, eh ???
-
Player offside in the middle for the equaliser.
He was onside.
Not the lad in the middle. The lad who put the cross in was onside.
-
Shit the bed. We look all over the olace
-
Offside var would have saved us there
I thought that,but watching replay,he was onside!
-
Meh, just a phase on the old Roverscoaster
-
Never straightforward is it, following Rovers.
-
Always do it the hard way
-
not got in the game. 23 mins in.
-
That was a red card there.
-
hafta say, we'd be two down against anyone playing this shite, let alone someone in the playoffs - FGR would have fancied their chances; at least it's down to our own abject inadequacies rather than Crewe ripping us a new one, so it's in our own hands to turn it around...
-
Right. Anyone fancy a pint?
-
That was a red card there.
yup - nailed on
-
Right. Anyone fancy a pint?
I’m in
-
Me also - large one
-
Me also - large one
a large pint ???
-
Pushing the self destruct button again.
-
Anymore for a pint?
-
Right folks… pints are up.
-
Anymore for a pint?
I'll try that Thornebridge Jaipur
5.9%
-
Pushing the self destruct button again.
not really pushing any buttons at all - appear to have turned up and done pretty much f**k all :pinch:
-
Not settled have we? So control is missing, incisiveness is missing and, if we're not careful, soon confidnce will go missing too.
BobG
-
Ref been and lino been crap had to tell Crewe to move back at every corner
-
It’s coming.
-
We've not turned up yet
-
Not positive at all are we....?
BobG
-
It's 0-0. That's what I keep turning to.
-
Not as quick and incisive as we know we can be. Knew this would be a battle.
-
Yep. 0-0. All to play for.
-
tbf being this abject and still being level in the tie getting on for half time is actually quite a positive - we're absolutely f**king dreadful, and you have to think they won't be this bad after the break...
-
That HT?
-
Nice attempt Haks!
-
Wow we weren’t good there. They’re pressing us so hard we’re not able to get our passing going at all
-
We improved as the half progressed but I'm worried about that midfield. Rowe doesn't bring the energy missing from Biggins.
-
Not a good half, we've not got in to this at all. Let's hope we have a strong second half. Not enjoying one second of this.
-
well - absolute dogshite, Rovers - but that last move ending with Sterry's poor cross at least showed a glimmer of a more thoughtful approach; obviously not out of this by a long way, as long as Crewe don't start the second half the same way they did the first; time to earn your money now, McCann...
-
Need the next goal early for rovers and start the 2nd half like we ended the 1st and get some Crewe defenders booked
Need to pass and move rather than just hit it long
-
Haven’t played this poorly for ages, positive is that half will have taken a lot out of Crewe.
-
I think it now just comes down to either a) character or b) some individual piece of brilliance.
Have we got either?
-
Well. Crewe are a good team. Obviously they were going to come and throw everything at us. Poor defending for the first, ref missed the shirt being pulled off Ironside’s back. But poor.
Second goal - own goal. But totally in the run of play. Crewe have played really well that half but should be down to 10 men. Nevitt should have received a straight red for grabbing Craig round the neck and flinging him to the ground. That w@nker left a foot in on TLT in the first leg… Definitely one to target as he’s a hot head.
We started coming back into it the last 15.
Grant and Cliff will tell them what’s what having looked at how Crewe are set up.
Expect to see us step it up significantly second half.
Keep the faith. Full house. And the lads will want to prove they’re worth turning up to see every week.
Ref seems to be letting a lot go. There is so much holding at corners from both teams.
-
Remember we were 2-0 behind Vs barrow
-

Or cashing in on what we're owed by officials over the season. Red card for them, or pen for us.
-
annoyingly one-sided use of the 'railway' theme when referring to Crewe on sky comms, have they no idea of Donny's heritage in the whole train thing, huh ???
-
Remember we were 2-0 behind Vs barrow
we were two down to Orient and Forest too - they both ended up getting eight :lol:
-
We are. missing Biggens in mf
-
Just got in from work in time to see the last 10 mins - Sky pundits at HT say Crewe have done nowt since the second goal.
On another day Haks' effort goes in, as does Rowe's header. Very much still in this.
As for someone commenting on folks already booking travel for Wembley, yes it was a gamble but I can afford to lose the parking fee.
-
well - it's at times like this that I clasp my twenty five year old, never-washed Rovers scarf to my bosom, take a deep breath, stare heavenwards - and give thanks to booking.com's no quibble refund guarantee for hotel bookings...
-
I couldn't give a fook if those that booked travel have a guarantee.... it's more the point that we haven't got there yet...
-
Can we actually take a throw in towards the goal instead of going back all the time
-
Austerfield was a right pain in the arse on Bank Holiday Monday - not happy to see him coming on....
-
this is a bit better !!!
-
Starting to get a bit of momentum
-
Come on Rovers, keep believing. Get Mols and Haks into it
-
Gamesmanship from Crewe.
-
jesus - this whole 'injured keeper' thing has got VERY f**king annoying very quickly - cheating arseholes...
-

Looks like Plug from the Bash Street Kids
-
Looked a foul on Hurst!
-
We've hardly created one decent chance have we? A few half chances and a few misplaced passes at the wrong time, but real chances?
I'm starting to really worry....
BobG
-
How’s that not a penno?
-
How’s that not a penno?
i think it was what pundits like to refer to as a 'coming together' - quite good in the bedroom, not so clever in the penalty area when it's one of yours being sat on his arse ;)

Woods header?
-
we look really short-handed going forward - is someone just having an absolutely horrific game and pretty much disappeared from view or what - I can't work out what's going on - where's all the expansive football gone...
-
f**k
-
How did that stay out come on Donny 1 final push
-
Haks having his shirt pulled right in front of the ref there and nothing…
-
that's good - Thomas has been immense for them...
-
How did that night go in?
-
Naff from Sterry there. Relieves the pressure.
-
Reminding me of Cardiff spike was bandaged up and no number
-
Ref is a bell end
-
Not impressed by Crewe’s antics at all.
-
Well, they’ve shot their load with subs. They get one more in extra time. We have 5 to play with.
-
Not impressed by Crewe’s antics at all.
no - i've had no real opinion one way or t'other of them until tonight, but they really are acting up like a set of arseholes now - notable how Nevitt's 'head injury' was so serious that his own team-mates wouldn't knock the ball out for him to get 'treatment'....
-
Well, they’ve shot their load with subs. They get one more in extra time. We have 5 to play with.
Cock n balls on my Guinness again please
-
I think we have the stronger legs. A few Crewe looking peeved- could get that pen? Feel Good Inc is a deffo strong omen!
-
Right drinks are going in…
-
COME ON LADS. This cannot end here.
-
Gotta try one of those large pints someone got earlier!
-
what the f**k is it with the 'Crewe against the odds' narrative being drivelled out on sky now - really ????
-
And all their bloody injuries too. It's a mantra.

-
Have to say. These officials have been piss poor.
-
Oooooooo!
-
This f**king ref
-
And another penalty turned down
-
Anderson’s shirt being pulled off his back right in front of the ref. Nothing. It’s a clear f**king foul.
-
Oh for goodness sake! My stream has just gone....
-
Oh for goodness sake! My stream has just gone....
It happens at your age, Bob old mate.

Grant not having a lot of faith in the bench.

come on George - f**king win it man !!!!!!
-
Just in flashes we look like we could do something... We need it for full on 5 minutes...
BobG
-
This f**king ref. Abysmal.
-
Peebs it’s a long time but can I have a beer please
-
Well, here we go again!
Come on Rovers!
-
Ooof. Pennos it is.
-
meh - f**king pelanties on the way - can Tim O'Tei pull on his Andy Warrington gloves - are there any Crewe players stuffing Mars bars down their socks...???
-
All the best guys , hope the luck is with you .
-
Wow we have been not good enough and this ref has been poor
Ironside needs to take the first but pressure on
-
I’m just gonna go get a Guinness!!
-
b*llocks. Penalties.....
-
this is so annoying
-
Fair play to Crewe. They brought it. Step forward TLT!
-
Ironside 1-1 pens
-
Get in there TLT
-
:woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:
-
FFS Zane
-
Oh Jesus.....
-
Oh no 2 saved 1 each still 1-1
-
TLT moving too soon
-
not entirely sure that this is a great deal of fun.....
-
I am not enjoying this...
-
Absolute sickener.
-
w**k :P
-
What a cracking end to the season! RTID
-
Sick
-
Bugger. I honestly thought we would go up. So proud we even made play offs. Well done rovers. Promotion next season.
-
Oh joy....
-
FFS.
-
Right. i'm going to kick the cat. and the door. And anything else that gets in my way
-
Always difficult to deal with that outcome . And of all players to take the key pen. The one who had probably done the most to get rovers to the playoffs . We go again next season . Crewe will get beat by Crawley at Wembley.
-
Devastating.
Absolutely shell shocked
-
This momentum will carry on into next season . And we get to play port vale
-
Well, what a way to go out. I feel sick to my stomach. After all those heroics… But what a ride. It’s a cruel, cruel world at times.
Gutted. Absolutely gutted.
-
We need to absolutely pound that league next year and go up in automatic
-
For f#@s sake.
See you all next season
-
bag of shite, but we get to tear up the league next season - and go to Bromley !!!! :lol:
-
Take a deep breath. Go to bed. Tomorrow is another day. It’s just a game .
-
Obvious to say, but lost it first 15 mins. From about 30 mins on we were the better side and from 60 mins on only one side was trying to win. Toxic mixture of own fault and bad luck.
Momentum for next season yes, but how many players will we lose
-
We did amazing to get this far just a shame our poor defending came back to haunt us
-
What a tragic end, the lads must be devastated, go the Rovers
-
hahahhahah - sky comms with a final flourish - "but who is going to meet Doncaster - Crewe - christ...!" :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
-
A word for the officials: W@NK
-
Hope all the walkers that booked their trains/ accommodation are happy now....
-
A word for the officials: W@NK
I really don't think they were that bad - standard L2 fare, nothing worse - we threw that away with rank bad defending, an abject lack of invention and - dare I say - being outcoached; a distinct lack of flexibility when 'plan A' didn't work - I was looking for a switch to three at the back after half time to really open things up, but hindsight is 20/20, so - hey f**king ho, Bromley instead of Wembley...
-
Hope all the walkers that booked their trains/ accommodation are happy now....
100% refund for me, so f**k you - nasty little tw@t :thumbsup:
-
Hope all the walkers that booked their trains/ accommodation are happy now....
Why make that point, what are you trying to achieve? So what if folks were optimistic after monday?
As I said, my £20 for Wembley parking was a gamble I could afford to take. I lost, big deal. I bet a lot more folks have lost a lot more than £20 gambling on the Rovers this season!

I'm guessing he thinks it's funny that folk who invested a few quid in Rovers making it to Wembley have fell on their arses, unless they were astute enough to make sure they weren't exposed to any such risk - not quite sure why that would be considered amusing but there you go, no accounting for some people, eh - hope those who took a tumble are able to shrug it off and come back for more of the same next season, spiteful f**kt@rds excluded...
-
What a ride this season folks. Well get the old place dusted down, repainted and go again next season.
Looking forward to welcoming the trialist family in August. Enjoy the break. England are waiting to break all.our hearts in just a few short months
