    Quick question

    If we're 3-0 down with 15 mins to go you'll be fine. You'd have a clear route through as most of the crowd would have left 10 mins earlier.

    Doncaster's Gregg's stores expecting bumper profits for the next 4 weeks.

    Only if you stick a pork pie on each goalpost.

    Great Moments in film History

    John Hurt's stomach burst in Alien. The first time you see the shark in Jaws. The "Is it safe?" scene from Marathon Man. When you see the mothership appear over the mountain in 'Close Encounters of the Third Kind.' The "Those aren't pillows" scene and the “You can start by wiping...

    I don't get jealous of our older supporters. Most supporters older than me are dead. :D

    JON PARKIN is set to join Doncaster Rovers on loan, it has been claimed. The big Cardiff City striker nearly joined Coventry City on transfer deadline day only for the deal to collapse over personal terms. However the former Preston man - nicknamed The Beast - now looks set to join...

    Wheres Jordan Clarke gone ?

    Don't use the word 'snapped' on the same day that there's news about yet another James McPake injury!

    McPake

    Yes, can fully understand that. When he's fit and playing I really rate the lad, but he needs to be playing.

    Okay, turning the Thorn thing on it's head

    This is the thing that worries me. We really, really need Juke and McDonald to get somewhere in the region of 15+ this season for us to be able to survive. A lot of pressure on these two. Platt is never going to get many, nor ROD. The only hope is that Sheff an/or Freddie contribute greatly...

    McPake

    Not trying to defend his injury record here but this latest injury apparently will only keep him out for 7-10 days. Could understand the outcry a bit more if it were long term.

    Okay, turning the Thorn thing on it's head

    I think even if we are relegated we should stick by him and let him build foundations. The proviso of this of course being that he doesn't prove himself to be incompetent as the season wears on in terms of making ridiculously daft decisions tactically and in his deployment of subs etc. and/or...

    Okay, turning the Thorn thing on it's head

    Agree. So why are people giving Thorn stick? I think a really good manager could perhaps do a little better, but not a lot and we are talking very small margins. Not enough to get us to mid-table. Still think we would be there or thereabouts near the bottom. Thorn is doing the best he can do...

    Okay, turning the Thorn thing on it's head

    Instead of judging Thorn and whether or not he is doing a good job, let's turn the situation on it's head. Okay, let's just suppose for a second that Thorn is sacked and Gus Poyet comes in, in his place. I chose Poyet him because he appears to be a really good manager and he's right up...

    Anyone else losing confidence in Thorn?

    Tis true though Paxman, whether you like it or not. If you listen to the people within the game, coaches, managers, players etc., then they all talk of the possibility of 'burn out' for young players. The seasoned experienced players have been playing week in week out for years in pressure...

    Anyone else losing confidence in Thorn?

    'At worst, it can break them.' Been my fear too. When I mentioned it on here there were plenty saying 'if you're good enough you're old enough' but it is never that simple. Danger of burn out, too much pressure on them before they've had chance to develop and it can sometimes send them...
