So waving a red card during their cup game on the 18th and 75th min is their next protest idea.
They're also considering ways to get the match stopped and one suggestion was throwing rubber chickens onto the pitch

Some money to be had in flogging rubber chickens then. Off to their market tomorrow.

I'm toying with the idea of heading over to Ewood for the Bristol game as I think that'll be the match that seals their fate.
Obviously I'd be undercover in the Bristol end but just wondering if this would be apt disguise as I used it last time I was in that end

Oh sh*t they've signed Foghorn Leghorn from the Bantams. Heard he's knocked the stuffing out of league one defenses.
Now if they'd have signed Gleghorn from Rangers, they might have poached a few more goals.

I am afraid they missed their chance. Their loss was Burnley College Monday night 5 aside leagues gain!

Off topic, but when is tomorrow's team news in? Could be handy for first/last goal scorer betting.

The only thing funnier than Coyle taking them down would be Dunn doing it.
If and when they do get round to potting goofy imagine the standard of people applying, bear in mind Coyle was the stand out candidate last time.

Time for him to go.

Just for an extra chuckle, look who are the top 5 favourites for next Rovers manager:-
1 - David Dunn
2 - Tim Sherwood
3 - Gary Bowyer
4- Alan Irvine
5 - Neil Warnock

I'm hoping for either Tim Sherwood or Alan Irvine. Proven failures at Championship level. Gary Bowyer was a bit too stable for my liking.

Sherwood and Bfccrazy would make a good photo together.

Isn't Dunn the only one out of work in that list and the obvious cheap option or has PrickSherwood been shown the door at Swindon. one things for sure they won't pay compo to get a new manager in.

Personally I would go for Paul Ince. Knows the place and did a great job last time.

Dunny as far as I am aware works for Bastards as a coach as it is so would be a cheap option.

Surely Shebby Singh could take the role, however he would need upgrade on his last post, perhaps first team manager and interplanetary advisor!

In the absence of hope, here's Owens fantasy 11 to face a full (ish) strength Manure side.
Probably their last shot at a 'glamour' result, before the earlier rounds of the FA Trophy beckon.

Brownie points for any posters who can name the teams most of this suggested 11 are usually associated with.
