Be careful what you wish for....

Former Pompey reject Curtis Main could be offered the chance to triple his wages this summer as clubs look to bring him back to the Football League.

Don’t think for one moment he would be universally welcomed back at the Rovers.

we all laughed when Barnsley signed Andy Coles's son - I wonder if that magician at Barnsley could get a tune out of him --   
and we took the pi$$ out of Ivan (falling down) Toney when  he faced us ...  so anything is possible maybe they gelded him ?  that certainly would improve a few players

I thought Devante Cole looked bloody useless up front for Barnsley t'other day!

9 in 39 league games, drew a blank in 33 of those. Admittedly scored twice against Celtic at Celtic Park, but he scored the rest against horrific sides.

Please tell me he won't be coming here.

Feels like a Grimsby kind of signing. I hope…

The highlight of Maine's career with Rovers was that thunderbolt goal against Bradford, if i remember rightly.

It needs to stay that way.

Yes, DD, it was a screamer, so good it even beat Jordan Pickford in the Bradford goal.

The words 'career highlights' and the name Curtis Maine do not sit easily together.  That Bradford goal was indeed a screamer and as a CM highlight it was the top one of... one.  Second thoughts make that two with him leaving the Keepmoat being the other.

in fairness he was absolutely brilliant away at Yeovil on his debut. I thought we’d got a proper player. It went downhill very quickly though.

I was there. It was a game when even Theo Robinson scored, so this wasn’t the most testing of opponents against which to judge him. Although tbf they brought Hayter on in the second half.

Sorry, guys, I'm having one of my pedantic moments. It's not "Maine", it's "Main".

so was I. Main was brilliant. They, like us, had just been relegated from the championship and although they had a poor season I didn’t expect to wipe the floor with them 3-0 at their place with main being comfortably motm

I didn’t see a huge amount of him with us but his record for us really wasn’t that bad objectively - 8 goals at a goal every 273 minutes in his only full season with us. George Miller scored 11 this year at one every 260 minutes.

Main was guilty of one of the worst pull outs from a tackle i have ever seen in a home game just before he finally moved on. Maybe with age and experience he has grown his confidence and influence on the pitch but for that gutless attempt alone i was glad to see the back of him.

There was a better one in a home game.
I can’t remember who it was against but it went in off the underside of the bar, a real hammer of a shot in front of the south stand.
I seem to recall that we lost the game 2-1.

Certainly was some goal.

He scored one equally as good if not better against Bristol City.

Strange lad. He had astonishing ability but it came out on show so rarely.

Bristol City, mate; lost 1-3. Luke Ayling, Luke Freeman, and Kieran Agard all played for City that day.

It’s Wrexham who are interested in Main apparently! He must have some agent.

One of my fave kits of ours the blue away with the red and white sash. Think I might have it lurking up in the loft somewhere!

Great! That finishes them off as promotion contenders!
