ionly our Love Fest will stand the test of time

whitby..........discretion

lanza. You put what you want, I am with you xxxxx

I've just been reading what the Portsmouth manager has been saying on the BBC Sport website.
He is complaining that his budget for incoming players has been slashed from £4million to £1.5million.
He then goes on to say that he wanted to have 20 players in ready to go on the pre-season tour to Spain.
WHAT?
Why go to Spain when you are strapped for cash.
FFS, the Rovers went to Cleethorpes!!!!!!
And some people think that our club isnt being run properly.

I agree Hound, but did they HAVE to stay overnight at Seaview Guest House, with all the expense that incurred?

Just thank God it wasn't Skeggy, we would have been renting binoculars to see the sea!!!!!!!

You've obviously not been to Cleethorpes then?
Its a bus trip from the prom to have a paddle when the tide is out.

I know hound, but the tide is never in in Skeggy.

5? You, need, to, practise, your, punctuation.

And I can't be ar5ed (oh look he's there again) to do long answers. And don't give a to55 (oops twice more) what I'm called

Rude person

Ny - it was a big waste of money them putting those sea defence walls in then.

I'm with you xon Lanza knows nothing about punctuation. I've met him and he'd think punctuation was something you solved with a puncture repair kit.He struck me as being not very well educated at all ha ha !

whitby who came to your rescue,during the incident with the mounted police......yes lanza when your friends and relatives deserted you who was there to stand by your side.

Certainly not you 5

I think I should put the comment in context, Scribe. From Jan 2011 to the end of that season, Rovers had ON AVERAGE 11 players on the treatment table. At its worst I think it was 16, at best 6. Were any of them key? Well with 11 out, there'd have to be some. I reckon again we're talking 5 or 6 who would under normal circumstances be on the team sheet (likes of Billy Sharp, James Hayter, Brian Stock etc) in fact I think the only first team regular who was ever-present over that period was John Oster.

So when I read about 4 injuries I kinda think "just the 4 then?" Apologies anyway if you thought I was having a go at York. Most at Donny would love to see you do well this season and yes, you held a team from a league above you to a draw. That's not bad what ever way you look at it and however many excuses we make.

The League Cup continues to throw up more results where the smaller club beats the bigger one:
Derby lose to Scunny
Bristol City lose to Gillingham
Millwall lose to Crawley
Cardiff lose to Northampton
Brighton lose to Swindon
Portsmouth lose to Plymouth.

Is suppose the Portsmouth result isnt really a shock as they are having to play untried juniors just to be able to field a team.
They look to be in deep trouble again, overspending and bad management and a minus ten point start again.
Its a good job the Rovers are run better than that.

Hound, I agree re Portsmouth. I too was taken aback when I read that they had a pre-season training camp in Spain - I can't understand how they were even allowed to do that unless it was actually a cheaper option than putting triallists up in local hotels! Either way, it sends out the wrong message to everyone that the club owes money to!
