I know rovers have done well in reaching the 3rd round often in recent times, but there can't be many clubs with as poorer record in the fa cup !

Yes occasional days such as QPR D1 v Rovers D4 don't come around too often- and the newspapers hadn't a clue who David Harle was, wasn't it Duggie they had the photo of saying "David Harle goalscorer?" Also the 2-2 at Anfield same gap but 1st against 92nd I believe, with Kitch hitting the crossbar?.. lets hope this season we can have a good un...

Weren’t we in the 3rd division when we played QPR.??

Anyone who thinks that players diving and collapsing like they’ve been shot is a modern phenomenon should have been at Goodson that day. Andy Gray fell on his arse every time a Rovers players went anywhere near him.

To be fair, he did get put into Row D of the Bullens Road stand by a slide tackle from Stevie Lister after about 15 mins.

[Barmby Rover]

That's when we had proper football!

[andysly]

Andy Gray got dogs abuse off 8,000 for 90 minutes that day.
