Rotherham v Rovers: 12th August 2023

This game will be played before we are even half way through the month of August. I recall in days of old (when I wore shorts to school and my idea of fun was hanging the school 1st years upside down on the school railings) we did not start the season until September. Half of our fans will still be sunning themselves in Benidorm, chucking up on the beach before spending a night in Spanish A&E with sunburn, a cocktail of STD’s and a cucumber stuck up their backsides. The other half will complaining on other Rovers message boards, Twitter and Facebook that Steve Waggott is an Antichrist and he eats Rovers fans alive.

Claims that Steve Waggott is an Antichrist are untrue according to Alan Nixon of The Sun

I made a big mistake by going to New York last season, or should I say the New York Stadium. I left as Rovers went 3-0 down in one of those spineless performances that littered our 2022/23 campaign. I did not realise it was 4-0 until I was speeding away northbound on the M1 desperately trying to distance myself from the infamous sh!t heap of a town and yet another sh!t performance from Rovers…..goodness me how many of those I witnessed last season; I should have been banned from away games.

I can only name 2 Rotherham players: Oliver Rathbone (son of our very own ‘Basil’ Rathbone) and a decent midfielder; and forward Jordan Hugill who has had nearly as many clubs as I have had lovers.

Rotherham of course is well known for its sexual deviants. It is also famous as the cucumber growing capital of the UK known as ‘The Rotherham Triangle’. I asked myself why Rotherham should have such a claim to fame and Google explained that they don’t just use them for pickling or to chop up in a nice summer salad…..THEY PUT THEM IN THEIR ORIFICES. My I would have loved to have shoved one down the throats of those celebrating Rotherham fans last season.

I am looking forward to the game this season. I reckon our players will be up for it; I just hope we will not be let down yet again.

As for the score who knows, but I will put my cards on an early prediction of a 2-1victory for Rovers. Our super fan Alex is not a lover of cucumbers unless they are in a sandwich (no crusts on her butties). Alex sends her love and predicts 3 points for our boys in blue.

Love and kisses from BB. I look forward to seeing you in the vegetable (salad) aisle in Aldi around the corner from Rotherham FC.

Early games are usually 2 - 1 and I'm going for Rovers to win.
You've got a 100% record on the scoreline prediction so far this season. Let's hope Rovers can keep their own 100% record going. :)

I'll go for Rotherham United 1 - 3 Rovers

Feel like I'll regret this, the standard Championship phenomenon is that teams who've just lost win, and vice versa. But lets be optimistic:

Rotherham 1 Rovers 2

COYB!

I can't change my original prediction because that would be unsportsmanlike, but I'm beginning to think you could be right. It would be very "Rovers" of us to pull out an unexpected victory, immediately followed by a damp squib of a performance and a defeat.

On the bright side, a 2-1 defeat would be an improvement upon last season's effort. :laughing:

Don't worry about changing your prediction. It's considered OK until kick off time.

Indeed so. It does allow one to see the team selections.
