It was a TIC comment as you well know, hence the
. However, you can't have it all ways. We got to one of two major finals last year and were badged as utter losers because we lost to Saints. You can't claim some "success" if you fail to win the SL title after saying we had nothing to celebrate in making a major final but not winning. There are 2 major trophies on offer, we've won neither, you're still in with a shout of one of them. If you lose, the reality is that you'll immediately be below us in the league table on the basis of alphabetical order with everyone on zero points. Even the club of the year trophy will be gone. You win nowt just for finishing 4th you know, admirable as that achievement might be.
Look at Catalans. They played Saints in a CC final at Wembley in their second year in SL and finished 3rd in their 3rd season. This year they just sneaked in the play-offs. You speak as if Rovers current dominance of FC is for all eternity. Maybe the Parasol Park era will last 1,000 years, who knows, or you might do a Catalans next season. Given the slagging off we got for losing to Saints in a major final, you're on dodgy ground being critical before the SL trophy is in the cabinet.
