That whole Xano thing never happened, but we seem to have really signed a Portuguese striker after all! :D:D

Jeesh, I always thought kerrnaldo was Brazilian:confused:
he did a deco on it, declared for portugal
I'd say Cristiano and Co. are delighted. He's young, plenty of talent and captain of the Supporters Trust side. Only worry is the young child he has, will he be able to handle all the pressure, being a single parent and all?Quote:

Rumour has it this lad might be the next signing we make from Accrington.

There was word of Conor Gethins joining us on loan a while ago, was there any truth in this or was it nothing but a rumour ?
I, like alot of ye, dont rate him well as a premier division striker but at the minute we NEED strikers, dosent matter who we get we need players who are natural forwards, do we not have any decent strikers in the 'A' Team that we could give a chance too even ?
I doubt it, hes out for 12 weeksQuote:

maby bring back Garry Curran and give him a chance.
Defo, he scored again last nite. As he left because he wanted to play first team football, and the way are squad is, he might consider it.Quote:

I could never understand why he was sold, he may not have been guaranteed first team football but as his career went on with us he kept improving. Just before the start of the season Richie Ryan might have missed the first 6 weeks of the season only for his injury wasnt as bad as first tought, what if he really was out for 6 weeks though ? Curran would fill that slot and would challenge for his place which this team seems to need to get the best out of the lads and who knows how well he might've played for us.
On another note, I heard a rumour of a player called Davitt Walsh in talks about joining us. Did anyone else hear this ?
I heard we made enquiries but nothing further...
Yes.Quote:

He was released by Athlone, played for Bray last year, we need a striker and i'm sure he wouldn't cost much in wages.
DOn't maul me, just a suggestion :o
Is he any good?Quote:

I suppose we need to be patient and see what happens, but we really need players on board soon.
What effect will the penalties payable on late returns to the tax man have on the ability to bring in players ? AFAIK, there's a plan in place to repay the tax owed from the previous year - had this included the 16k penalty or will they now need to be found somewhere? It's a tough situation but I think unless we bring in some local players ,we should muddle on with what's there get the bills paid and see where we are at come the end of the season.Quote:

This was to a person who doesn't really even follow Rovers. Shame he couldn't keep it to himself.
Shame he's useless too.Quote:

A bit harsh considering he in no way contributed to making us play any better, he like Mauro spent alot of the time on the sidelines. And knowing that were down to the bear bones, he just leaves with less respect from the fans. Boco said were down to 16 players in training, he can now make that 15 it this is true :(. If Cookie lets him go i really hope he has something planned to replace some of these players, Ventre seems like a good replacement at CB but 2 arent enough considering our injuries and Ventre could easily get sent off again this season.
It has to be said, he does have a point. Sure didn't Boco basically say the same thing in a well dressed-up way?Quote:

To name but 3.
If an employer is experiencing problems then an employee is going to complain about it to someone. It's easy for us to say "he should keep his mouth shut", but when there are constantly obstacles in the way of you doing your best, it's hard to keep quiet about it.
Thats fair enough. But really there's nothing you can do about injuries, which has been our main concern this season. (Butler,Mauro) Of course there's something you can do about the discipline, but poor standard of refereeing does go towards that.Quote:

The thing is its the other way round Rovers want rid of Doherty. Why would he want to go? I dont see anyone knocking on the gate for him. He is more than likely usually injured and collecting a nice wage at the same time. When he is on the pitch you wouldnt notice him, stays away from the ball. He is mouthing off now because he knows his time has come.
He had his moments last season alright. It's just sickening when a barstooler with no interest in Rovers comes to you in a gloating way slagging off your club, and with the opinion of one of the club's players to back him up.
I was about to punch him in the face tbh!! But, in fairness, I have a problem with Doherty in all this really. As was said, you wouldn't mind if he was doing something on the pitch.
Jeez some people on here must think the club is about to go bust in the morning !Quote:
