I liked meggos style..gerrit in mixer asap..win games..are you another one whos been brainwashed by baldiolas tippy tappy nonsense? I cant stand big lump it type centre halfs tryin to be maldini..cus its in fashion..hopefully the 2 row z merchants we have signed at the back will put an end to moore tryin to copy pep Nope. No football snobbery here. I enjoyed Megsons time. More than any manager since TBF. Just think that the Ginger Mourinho had a plan to play direct. With Moore it’s a more patient build up which won’t suit Smith. Let’s see Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nero Posted June 26, 2022 Share Posted June 26, 2022 Rotherhams basic problem is that even getting promoted their gates are pretty much mid table L1 and the chairman doesn’t want to make up the difference in wages. Its not us that's Rotherham's problem, its the tinpot L1 fanbase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Utah Owl Posted June 26, 2022 Share Posted June 26, 2022 Rotherham are just 6 miles away and far too often over the last 50 years we have been in the same division. Off course they're local rivals and we should stop being so precious about it. Not in the same league as the cross city rivalry obviously, but rivals nonetheless and the same can be said for Barnsley too. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last season I would say more than half the managers in this league were tactically better than Moore. Fair enough it is your opinion, but if more than half the managers in this league were tactically better than DM, why did more than half the teams finish below us? 2 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mighty Quinn Posted June 26, 2022 Share Posted June 26, 2022 I'm probably older than most of you on here and I remember having a good relationship with the Millers, as has been put on here a lot of owls players have gone to Rotherham because it was a good club to go to, I am a realist and its a fact that Rotherham, Barnsley, Doncaster and Sheffield United are our rivals, if some of you don't want to accept that that's fine, it's also arrogant that you refuse to accept it, our history will always be better than any of the above clubs and better than most in the Premier league, that can never be taken away but some of you can't accept that smaller teams can be better than us at this time, look at the Sunderland thread, fans on here have been up their arse because they are also a big club, well fk em I say, I am Yorkshire born and bred. The owls are bigger than Sunderland anyway historically, we are just going through a bad 25 or so year bad patch, but we will rise again, we can't blame Rotherham fans for rubbing it in we've rubbed it in for them for donkeys years, let's be more gracious, I know they came with buckets and I put money in, but I also saw wednesday fans spitting and abusing them, and some of them were pensioners with the buckets, very big and brave that, don't forget we had a save our owls also, no buckets but we were also in trouble, I know some Rotherham fans hate us but every local team has fans that will because we are the biggest and best local club we're here to be shot at but it's the way some of us react that I find stupid, just live and let live and have some banter ffs. 7 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
