Web-toed curiosities back in quarantine.

Posted by Ste in At The Moat

SO, another three points on the board, as the Rovers bizarre second-half juggernaught once again rolls into action to utterly destroy all before them like some kind of arrogant parent who deliberately plays poorly against his young child on the park, builds their confidence and expectations, only to roar back and blaze them off the grass with incisive skills and multiple goals.

Rotherham were the latest to be “sonned” at what has now become Fortess Keepmoat (the regrettable Bolton incident apart), and in turn become inaugral winners of the John Preen “Recipients of the Most Deceptively One-sided 3-2 Battering Ever” Trophy. Well done fellas.

The aforementioned web-toed curiosities gathered in the away end of our grand arena on Saturday for their last Cup Final of the season, and to have a look at our new stadium in the forlorn hope they could laugh it off as some puny-sized shoebox. Of course, they couldn’t, and it all got too much for some Millers fans whom partook in typical Rotherham fayre of getting horrendously pissed-up and involving themselves in some sundry windmilling of fists. This time it was with the shy, retiring stewards towards the North West corner of the stadium.

Ones mind is drawn to the previous fixture between the two sides when “London Miller” - someone apparently with the good sense to get himself as far toward the other side of the country from his home town as was feasible on a thimble of corn oil and a 1927 Ford Model T - declared that he’d

“rather not talk about todays visitors, Doncaster Rovers, as I find a significant proportion of their fans to be violent half-wits”.

The irony of such a statement given Saturdays events would be hilarious but for the fact my Mum always told me not to laugh at those less fortunate than me, and lets face it, you’ve got it only slightly better than a parasitic tapeworm if you are a typical Rotherham fan. Drunken scrapping at an age where they should know better aside, they also carry the knowledge that the club they support are too scrote-like to even pay the debts that they racked up chasing an immediate return to the Championship after their relegation.

Of course, they eventually forced creditors into accepting one Penny for every Pound they were owed, but mooned about deciding what to do long enough, that the according 10 point deduction did not take place last season, which would have seen them relegated again, but this season, which gave them a fighting chance of survival and 46 games to turn the deficit over.

I won’t go on. I will though, leave you with highlights of Saturdays’ match from a Rotherham slant on YouTube though. Someone has obviously gone to an awful lot of trouble with the “hilarious” backing track, so it’d be rude not to leave them a comment for their efforts ..?
