Leyton Orient or Rotherham

[maltaseagull]

From the brink of victory to the depths of defeat for Orient.

 

[Motogull]

Can't beat a penalty shoot out for entertainment. Come on Orient.

Oh yes. As long as us or England are not involved.

What a couple of cock wombles there, feel really sad for Cox, Salde and Vicentalot.

 

[Cheeky Monkey]

As above, sad day for Vincelot, Cox and Salde.

Steve Evans - 4 promotions in 4 seasons - he may have his knockers (insert joke here), but he is the best old-style up and at 'em manager in British football

Agreed. What's the secret? Unbelievable record.

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

Gutted, the last penalty taker was pathetic.

 

[CorgiRegisteredFriend]

why is their manager eating his tie...

Gets through an average of six per match- apparently.

 

[jimhigham]

Tidy little new ground as an away day for the adventurous next season.

Pleased for Revell, and what a goal!, but gutted for Slade and Orient. Horrible way to lose. Vincelot had a great game from what I saw of it, and Coxy scoring too was nice.

Oh well, of the weekends football, all three teams that I would have preferred to win all lost

Tidy little new ground as an away day for the adventurous next season.

True that, ground right next to the train station. Can drink in Sheffield before/afterwards. Potentially decent away following and a new ground to visit.

 

[London Irish]

Agreed. What's the secret? Unbelievable record.

There is the touch of the lower league Fergie about him - he absolutely canes and whips everyone of his players but they then coming running out on the pitch like demons. Rotherham's late scoring record this season is unbelievable.

He is that stereotype of the "passion" manager that the new scientific clipboard pro-zone managers were meant to make obsolete. But I'm glad one old dinosaur like him survives and thrives - I like to see different methods tested in football

So get ready for the aerial bombardment at the Amex next season!

 

[matbha]

Cant stand Orient feck the scum.

 

[peterward]

Oh well, of the weekends football, all three teams that I would have preferred to win all lost

though 4 out of the 5 goals scored in normal play are from ex Albion players

 

[Durlston]

True that, ground right next to the train station. Can drink in Sheffield before/afterwards. Potentially decent away following and a new ground to visit.

Millmoor used to be one of the worst grounds for a decent view - seats bolted onto old terracing and pillars in the way. It had character but was a bit of a dump. They had a half finished stand at the side.

The new ground sounds nice with good facilities and I think Rotherham have enough quality to stay up next season.

 

[El Turi]

People seemed to forget Revell's challenge on the FDM at Root's Hall

The challenge was so bad that he deserves to be BOOED next season.

I last spent a night in Rotherham on 10th September 2001.
