The Halfy bandwagon rolls on !
Wolves, who are second in the Championship, may choose to rotate their squad for the visit of League One side Bristol Rovers.
Willy Boly and Helder Costa are still out, but left-back Barry Douglas is close to a return after five games out.
Rovers will be without centre-back Ryan Sweeney, who was sent off in their 3-0 defeat at Wigan Athletic.
Darrell Clarke's team beat second-tier opposition in round two, winning 1-0 at Fulham with Ellis Harrison's goal.
MATCH FACTS
Wolves have faced Bristol Rovers just once in the League Cup, a fourth-round victory in October 1972 on their way to their first-ever semi-final in the competition.
Wolverhampton Wanderers have progressed past lower league opposition in 11 of their last 12 League Cup games at the Molineux, although the last seven have been against League Two sides.
The third round is the furthest Bristol Rovers have been in the League Cup since they lost to Wolves in the fourth round in 1972/73.
Wolves haven't reached the fourth round as a second-tier side since 1995-96, eventually reaching the quarter-final.
After seven successive away losses to opposition from a higher tier, the Gas defeated Fulham in the last round; they haven't knocked out two higher-league sides since 1972/73, when they knocked out three (Cardiff, Brighton and Manchester United).

Halfy loves all potential threadsters, therefore anyone with a connection is cool !
And if they don't use the mind blowing match threads that I take time to produce, then they can feck right off !!

That's a good attitude. I may up my vote tomorrow.

Bute, it warms my heart to hear that you have people who have moved from other countries to settle on the Isle of Bute and who have obviously integrated with the local population. I actually love the idea of the "big melting pot" but have had limited success with making friends with immigrants. I used to play basketball with a Jamaican guy who invited me to his house for dinner. His family were delightful and were as English as me but just with a different dialect when speaking. In Bewdley I lived next door to an Indian family and despite my best efforts I could not get them to become more than just people who lived next door.
Out here we have Spanish neighbours who we are very friendly with. They don't speak more than the odd word of English so our conversations are full of hand gestures and laughter
----------------------------------------------------------------------
That's the kind of positivity I prefer. I have a golden rule, and that is to take people as I find them. I'm lucky that I've had good experiences on my travels. I took a phone call from Vietnam yesterday - a most charming and polite girl inviting me to her company's stand at the World Travel Market in London. I so appreciated her politeness that it set me up in a good mood for the rest of the day. Little things, but they resonate with me far more than any Britain First nonsense.
The gestures of smiles etc., are very powerful, and shows we can all "speak" other languages just by such things.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
It is surprising to hear that is your attitude in general given you go out of your way to attack the character of a few folk on here with a string of pretty disgusting accusations such as you have managed again a few posts above and outside of that spend your time trying to irritate and make this site far less enjoyable for those same folks.

My neighbours are English and are nothing more than people who live next door. I couldn't care less, I don't like having over friendly neighbours.
I agree with Cinci that a lot of our own citizens are much more of a drain than most immigrants.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
And yes, friendly neighbours should be avoided.

Disgusting allegations? Tell me more.
And I do enjoy this forum, but like others, will let posters know when they're going overboard, or if out of order.

Pretty clear what you were trying to insinuate with your reply to Wolfie earlier, sadly you have history in this regard with your attempts to besmirch posters character.
Perhaps you think it goes unnoticed but I can assure you it doesn't and it portrays you in a very unfavourable light which appears not to be in keeping with your general character which is kind of sad.

nearly replied to yr comments yesterday gem, but i'm always wary of dragging a football forum into politics. but I couldn't have said most of what I wanted to say any better than the replies you did get.
I am a great believer in freedom to travel, live and work wherever you can find a space in the world that suits you, with the expectation that you fit in and contribute positively wherever you settle. whether that's from working, setting up yr own business, or simply adding wealth to the local community from spending yr hard earned pension.
most immigration that I have experienced in my life is exactly that: a major positive to the country. and if there are some folks who don't want to mix, so be it...there's no additional requirement on immigrants to be more sociable than the people who were born and raised where they now live.
ultimately, people wanting to move to a country should be seen as evidence that there's a good lifestyle available to be had. the time we need to start to worry is when nobody from Europe wants to live in the UK, because it will mean low wages, low employment, and low living conditions for the rest of us.
that said, i'll be emigrating to live in Italy when I retire, dog willing, so anyone who wants to join me on my terrace in Tuscany and share a few bottles of brunello is welcome.

I was referring to the Police Oath, which has a fair minded approach to all society. I believe all in that profession have to swear by it. I haven't put any words into Wolfy's mouth.
