Ha Ha, there doesn't seem to be many people around with my point of view of giving the lad a chance. I'm not defending any of his past antics, all my point is that the guy seemed friendly with the Irish press and fans all week and we should appreciate his talent and give him a fresh start. Anyway the boos have clamed now, I'd say it was just an initial reaction.

I've heard better atmospheres at a bowls game. This match needs a goal.

he expects it every other week, he probably thought he'd have garlands thrown at him on his debut. Anyway, I boo every team that comes out the tunnel in opposition, they haven't even set foot on the pitch yet to do anything wrong. They're playing my team, that's enough.

I knows it all part and parcel of the game but this is a friendly

the game has been organised as part of Real's pre-season schedule. Rovers are only pawns in the thing.

dsmythy · 20-07-2009 9:13pm

Rovers should really try just poking the ball into the box rather than try to run it in.

Nope, it's because the ref made them change before the game.

Well fair enough, but why was the home team made to change ?

Still think it's good for Rovers to wear the jersey though, good exposure for it even if it wasn't planned.

Benzema's going to be a beast for Madrid this year.

Fromvert · 20-07-2009 9:17pm

Anyone watching the stream where the commentator keeps calling Benzema, Huntelaar. Was funny at first it's just annoying know.

€200 million spent and they're getting outplayed by Shams!

blue-army · 20-07-2009 9:27pm

I've a feeling Rovers might sneak something from this!!!

Unlucky not to be ahead!

Did the RM guy just get booked for slipping in the box? Or did I read it wrong?

Hank Scorpio · 20-07-2009 9:34pm

zAbbo · 20-07-2009 9:35pm

Baker was in there!

monkey9 · 20-07-2009 9:35pm

LOL at the itinerant fans singing "Are you watching Bohs scum?". Maybe they are, or maybe they're getting ready for their Champions League match on Wednesday. A proper football match
