    Excellent write up Paul.

    Good tribute to Millers Rodney Fern & John McGlashan, along with Cyril Regis a player who ploughed the start of the ethnic player in our game, from all the fans in the ground, the applause must have been heard in Rotherham town centre.
    A good day to be a Miller.

    This is how home town match reporting should be in my book: suitably partisan to the club; reasonably respectful towards the opposition team and appropriately vengeful towards their manager at the appropriate time. Oh and wittily and interestingly written...

    Sorry I can’t agree.

    The McGlashan, Fern and passed away Millers should have been separated from the Regis and Kick it Out stuff.

    Considering we have a game on Tuesday night they could have been separate. Once a Miller always a Miller should mean exactly that and not lumped in with all of the other stuff.

    Depends what people’s definition of a miller means is a guy leaving after 5 games to protect his cv a miller.

    How long do you have to stay to be a miller?

    A month? Then is kettle a miller he’s certainly screwed us over enough times.

    Like I said depends on your point of view

    I think that it was right to give a tribute to all three. Although Cyrille Regis wasn't a Miller, he made his WBA debut with a brilliant performance against the Millers, which indicated to anybody who was present that he would go on to be a top player. John McGlashan was a hard grafter during what was generally a difficult period for the Millers (although we won the Autoglass Shield), and Rod Fern played in one of the Millers most successful teams. I suppose it was a bit difficult to come up catchy title to cover them all.
