Interesting comments from Coughlan.
“I had to put up with a lot of nonsense when I was there and turn a blind eye to things I wouldn’t have put up with if I was the manager.
I wonder what he's referring to?
Ranger? Mohsni? Other things?
Exactly what I was thinking.
There's a lot to read between the lines in some of his statements and difficult to know what, as well.
Maybe Timlin as well.
No wonder we were (and still are) in such a hole if there are so many different things he could be referring to!
He'll just drown his sorrows in real ale.You could get grumpier than normal if we lose @GrumpyBlue?
Any idea on numbers travelling to Brizzle today, (200 - 300) is my guess??
Two coming up from Dorset for our most local Shrimpers match of the season, so that's 1% of the away following
A couple of seasons (2018) back we were playing Portsmouth at Roots Hall and we had two Pompey fans immediately behind us and three in front of us. We actually played really well that day and despatched Portsmouth relatively easily 3-1. When they scored their goal there was very muted 'yep' and then look at their feet moment. I couldn't resist giving the ones in front a nudge after our third goal and asked them if they were enjoying the game. They were all good lads and they announced how impressed they were with The West Road Tap but not the game.Well as I’m going with a few mates who are Rovers and occasionally used to go to the Mem when living down here, I’ll be in the home end. Will be frustrating if we score but be interesting to hear the opposing fans’ view on the match. Watch us win with a last minute goal while I witness the celebrations from afar and have to stand there silently. Or....we could lose 3-0.
I’m hoping my mates don’t stitch me up and announce me loudly as Southend! I’ve been in the home end for many Rovers games over the years but never against us. So will be interesting. They’re a good bunch and like anywhere, if you don’t provoke trouble you’re fine. I’m hoping they’ll all be stunned into silence by our Guardiola style football anyway!A couple of seasons (2018) back we were playing Portsmouth at Roots Hall and we had two Pompey fans immediately behind us and three in front of us.
