MillersMad Matchthread - The Millers v Doncaster Rovers

[frogmiller]

Wev'e been hearing about some Millers making tits of themselves ont radio about how many we're going to win by which is an invitation for a good helping of humble pie and embarassment if the lads fantastic run comes to an end today.
We've been reading and seeing photos of caravans and the insinuations of Doncaster fans being Caravan Urbanising Nomadic Travellers. But is this true?
Whatever happens let's hope that it's a Rotherham win and the crowd are in good voice so that they're heard all over the town center and arround the world.

We seem to say every couple of weeks that the next game or two will show us what level we're at well today is one of those games that may see a couple of sendings off, a couple of penelties and the referee being called all sorts by one set of fans or another. Expect blood and guts with goals going in left right and center!
With that said it's probably got 0-0 written all over it XD

Enjoy the match guys and gals! Especially those that seem to travel more than others! Perigordmiller is in town so don't be getting him too drunk!

Bonjour froglet.

Very sunny here but boy is it bloody cold. Looking forward to what should be a cracker of a game. IF we get turned over wonder how many of the billy big gobs are on Radio Sheffield Monday to apologise and eat humble pie?

Enjoy it young man! I've just lit the log fire as it's bloody cold here as well. Expecting it to drop to minus for next week.

[frogmiller]

Is Icky not fit or dropped from the squad? Cummings the only defender ont bench but I suppose Vaulks could drop back if needed.

Price,
Palmer,
Taylor,
Yates,
Williams,
Cummings,
Laverty

[animallittle3]

Good luck today guys and hope you can keep the show on the road .

[HerbieCobbler]

Vaulks appears to have hurt himself in the warm up. Hobbling all over the place.

Hi everyone. Thats not good news!!

[frogmiller]

Hi everyone. Thats not good news!!

Where are you today. You could just say the continent if you like XD

[frogmiller]

I've just read a message on twitter by Ronnie Moore saying that the game is being covered by Radio Sheffield

[HerbieCobbler]

He was blasting the ball towards the goal when warming up. Not sure if he's pulled something or jarred a joint. Let's see what happens.

[Edinburghmiller]

Where are you today. You could just say the continent if you like XD
Arrived back in Edinburgh early morning after 36 hours travel. Need an exciting game plus another exciting rugby match to stay awake. UTM!!

No posting the England winning scores on the Matchthread as I'm taping it.

Won't say a word!! Unless the Scots get the first try😄

[MagyarMiller]

Afternoon from Budapest.

Been grey and miserable most of day, but just starting to brighten up.
Pretty cold though.
Just got settled in bar, they have 2 for 1 happy hour start at 1800 (1700 in UK)

Let's hope I'm using that to celebrate, not drown my sorrows.

Come on Millers.

[CTMilller]

Morning Frog'n'all. Just woken up here in sunny CA. Looking forward to this!

[thaimillerfan]

Hi Frog Sunny Bangkok ready n waiting to listen. Sell out crowd turning away fans away I've heard

[ragingpup]

Donny started with right idea, to outscrap us. Good start for them. Very scrappy game though

[ragingpup]

In fact we're looking sluggish so far. Come on lads!

[sickly_child]

Good morning, just woke up (knew i would).

Hope the jet lag not too bad. A bugger of a journey .

[frogmiller]

When Rodec takes them out he does in 4s

Hi everyone

[Edinburghmiller]

Oh dear!! Hope the defence aren't going back to their old ways

[ragingpup]

Ajeyi slips back to his old style. Hands em a goal. Complacent.

[frogmiller]

Do't think Ajayi will get MoM today after that!

[MagyarMiller]

Bugger

[ragingpup]

What a mess. Not doing the thing that has made us successful. Donny quicker in the tackle and out battling is. Passing not as sharp as it has been, sloppy at times. For me, not mentally prepared for Donny getting stuck in and struggling to adapt. Come on Warney, shake em up!

[frogmiller]

What was it Coughy said? If god wanted football to be played in the air he'd have put grass on the clouds.

It could turn into the type of match which once we get the ball down we'll do better. Their level of fitness has to be better than ours if they can keep this up!

What was Ajayi doing he seem to have 2 or 3 chances to clear what was a ball played to him when it shouldn't have been.

We haven't clicked yet anywhere on the field. Newell and Mattock have a bit but the last ball has been blocked or they've been run down and space has been denied. They were time wasting from the off as is 0-0 would do for them. I can't remember the last time we came from behind for the win but today we're going to have to.

I can't see it finishing with 11 on each side!

Yep! I'm in agreement with all of that ragingpup

[sota]

Hello to all. Great opening post Frog 😊

[CTMilller]

Not the first half we needed. Rovers look hungrier. Hope Warne can fire them up a bit.

[MagyarMiller]

Here's hoping for big second half performance from us.

[frogmiller]

Their keeper has gone straight through one of his own defenders who's going to be stretched off.

Hi and Thanks Sota

[MagyarMiller]

Hi and Thanks Sota

Can't we have a pen for that, come on ref.

[frogmiller]

Another late finish will give the peas more time to soften. Should have done them last night. Pie and peas for tea with a dumpling style crust. mmmmmmmm

[frogmiller]

Can't we have a pen for that, come on ref.

Keeper dropped the ball at the feet of smith but the ref blew

We're off again

[MagyarMiller]

How're we looking since second half started, any improvement?

Difficult to tell just from going on here and beeb live

[frogmiller]

We've had one stopped on the line and we're better

[MagyarMiller]

We've had one stopped on the line and we're better

Cheers Frog

[ragingpup]

Really bloody frustrating. Getting into promising positions and then messing up the delivery. Shake it up? Williams? Taylor on bench? Didn't see?

[ragingpup]

What a stop from their player on the line! One of those days??

[Edinburghmiller]

What a stop from their player on the line! One of those days??
Yep could be one of those days!

[MagyarMiller]

Sounds like it, doesn't it.

[Edinburghmiller]

Another bad Donny injury

[frogmiller]

Another stretcher for what looks like a leg injury

Wood took the lot no foul just hard

[ragingpup]

Another of their players nobbled. Stretcher on. Time wasting? Donny? Surely not! Looks genuine

[ragingpup]

Williams for Forde. Good move

[frogmiller]

That's Williams and Taylor on for forde and?

[frogmiller]

Would like to see Palmer on

Two penalty appeals in seconds

[ragingpup]

Cranking it up a bit now, come on lads, play up, sing up!

[ragingpup]

Crossing has been appalling. Oh well, we've still got the statutory 17 mins of injury time...

[frogmiller]

12 mins added is a new record

Palmer on!!!

[ragingpup]

Lol. 12 mins injury time. Can't see a goal in its though. Hope I'm proved wrong

[MagyarMiller]

Let's hope that's enough for us to get a couple

[frogmiller]

Crossing has been appalling. Oh well, we've still got the statutory 17 mins of injury time...

One good un did it 1-1 Smith

Now get the winner!!!

[ragingpup]

I love being wrong! Get in Smith!

[Edinburghmiller]

Get in Smithy!!

[Edinburghmiller]

Cmon get the winner Millers

[MagyarMiller]

Let's hope that's enough for us to get a couple


Well that's one of em

[Edinburghmiller]

Fantastic!!!!!!

[sickly_child]

[Edinburghmiller]

Fans on pitch. Is that promotion already 😄

[thaimillerfan]

Get in there 2-1 yessssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

[frogmiller]

Thanks lads and lasses,

The fitness again has gotten us to there! Well done every single one of them!!!!

On top of the world XD

[MagyarMiller]

Get foooookkk innnnn

[Edinburghmiller]

Thanks lads and lasses,

On top of the world XD
Jet lag has disappeared!!

[MagyarMiller]

I'm just an unlikely Bp Honved away win from the perfect end to a very good trip.

[ragingpup]

Me and 5 year old daughter just peeled ourselves off the ceiling! Both watching in our Millers shirts, it was her first taste of a last kick penalty victory!

Donny will be sick. They played perfect game against us and looked comfy until we finally found a cross! But what fighting spirit, right to the end! Brilliant!

[CTMilller]

I'm as sick as a parrot. Five minutes to full time and losing 1-0, Mrs CT phones me to ask if I can pick her up. She says "Don't rush, I know you're watching the match". I say "No, might as well come now. Looks like we're going to lose this one and I don't need to sit through any more frustration..."

[Silly-miller]

Guy behind me left as well on 85th mine made me laugh because 4th hadn’t shown extra time yet.

To be clear, Silly. I wasn't actually at the match; I was 5500 miles away - so the stakes weren't quite as high. Had I been there, and she phoned, I would have told her to walk home!

[sota]

Lol CT, that’s a great reply.

[dantpen]

Lol. 12 mins injury time. Can't see a goal in its though. Hope I'm proved wrong

Can you post this more often please? XD XD

Ahh right good to know you got your priorities right 😆
