Why don't the Premier league offer the NHS 15 million to give all 4 leagues teams the vaccine.This may amount to 5k vaccines,I know a lot of people will be against it but millions must follow football in this country,and if football has to stop god knows what we will do.

Bit too political that. There are lots of people whose lives are more at risk than footballers who must wait until their place in the queue comes up. Daft giving it to strapping fit and able chaps with too much money when others are still dying.

Tell you what waggy .... why not write to Gordon Taylor telling him to get his hand into his pocket for the good of his members.

I listen to sports radio and there always going on about the mental health of fans etc.These guys are Elite sportsman and the 5k to vaccinate the whole football league is only a small per cent age of the 100 million doses ordered.

I have read similar saying that fans need football to be played for the mental health of the fans.

If I was a cynic I'd say ... nice try ....

As a Rovers fans I'd be more stable if we didn't play.

Bloody hell, what did all you Sam critics say about Chris Brown then?

I think Brown could have been better than he showed here. He was a one trick pony and was only OK with his back to goal knocking balls on or down for attacking midfielders. We never did that with him and I think he could have worked well with Armstrong and Rothwell. Certainly better than our two 'headline' signings from last year and for an absolute fraction of the cost.

When you dislike a player Frog you dislike them,I think Ben has proved to every unbiased Rovers fan he offers something,Sam ain't one of my favorites but is he not our 2nd leading scorer,and does put in a shift.I must admit I raised a eyebrow when we paid 5 million for him after his loan spell.

We could have built a half decent Championship team with 12m quid. Vastly overpriced the pair of em and we'll never get that money back at the end of next season let alone sell em on for a profit. Compare those two with any other member of the squad that we paid money for as young players. Kaminsky, Armstrong, Dack, Rothwell would all give a good return on our investment whilst Bell would likely not lose any. They have imo been £ for £ our worst buys since the dark days of Anderson and Kean and the signings of the likes of Best and Murphy etc.
 
Have to agree with some of the above posts about Brereton. He's had a decent season, and I think he'll improve, as he's still only 21. Mowbray clearly sees something in him and I suspect Mowbray sees it as a challenge to bring out Brereton's full potential. Let's not forget how frustrated we were with Armstrong when he was out on the wing, and not getting his head up, before Dack's injury. Brereton has all the physical attributes to get to the top, as he gets himself into great positions, but his composure often lets him down. That will click into place at some point and he'll be a bloody good 'un, I'll tell thee!

I know BB. I was having what I thought was a healthy debate with others. They responded well (no rudeness) and just when I was getting in my stride I'm banned!!

:poop: No appeal. No reason given. Typical BRFCS politburo actions.

Who pushed the red button rovers95? Birtwell? Brooking?
