Twisting My Mellon Man

Tranmere Rovers hosted Manchester Utd at Prenton Park in FA Cup 4th Round

Micky's Rovers hosted Ole's Red Devils to a sold out crowd at the Prenton Swamp.  

Following the 3rd round comeback and heroics to reach the 4th round, Tranmere were soundly beaten by a strong Utd team. First half finished 5-0. Rovers limited the visitors to a single goal after the break and Morgan, Corey and party like a Rushian all came close to levelling the final 45 during which the tequila poured from the Kop.

POTM:  Jake Caprice for showing Jesse Lingard what real pace is.🏃🐢🐇

New bobble hat got an outing today along with JK statue badge.

Love the murals.  Thanks to Paul Curtis and the Tranmere Trust. 

Up the mud covered cup hero whites.

P.S. I'd get that kit in the Vanish whitener sharpish if I was you.🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾

Time to leave the Swamp/Sand pit.  See you at Wycombe and hope it's a bit warmer this time.

The Langoustine and Winding Road

Tranmere away to Southend United at Roots Hall in League 1 

The Rovers vs The Shrimpers.

Tranmere spent 90 minutes passing the ball to Southend who used it to try and hit a barn door but missing.

The game never got going and finished 0-0. It seems wearing white is now a bookable offence.  Maybe someone got a new whistle for Christmas.

MOTM Sammy the Shrimp🦐, only one to put the ball in the net.  Surprised he wasn't booked for handball. Do shimps have hands, is claw ball an offence?

Tried out my new Prenton Park South badge today.  Won't get there this year unless we make the FA Cup final.

Time for a Gamma Ray or 2.

See you at Wycombe

Tranmere Rovers FC away to Watford FC at Vicarage Road  in the FA Cup 3rd round

My third premier league ground to see the Rover vs the Hornets. 

Rovers were 3 down after 35 minutes.  That scoreline remained despite the Hornets falling over and rolling around a lot.  All change when Connor's disallowed goal was re-instated by VAR, the greek god of armpits. Manny made it 3-2.  Mullin equalised from the penalty spot after VAR overuled the ref for a foul on Corey.  The sting in the tail was one of the hornets seeing red. 

The replay will be at Prenton Swamp in about 10 days.

POTM:  Paul Mullin for standing calmly with the ball waiting to take the pen with chaos whirling all around him.  Was never going to miss.  

Today I am supporting Every Mind Matters.

See you at Sarfend on Saturday.

Bognor Regis Town FC play host to Worthing FC in the Isthmian Premier League 

The Rocks Vs the Rebels in the South Coast Derby at the Nyecamp stadium.   An end to end New Years Day game finished 0-3.  Worthing scoring 3 with no reply against Bognor for the 2nd time this season.  

A good crowd and great atmosphere. Got to meet a lady that is a Bognor fan from Prenton.  Fantastic hot chocolate too from Doug's Tuck Shop.  Got to meet Rocky Bear.

I'd rather be a Rover than a Rebel or a Rock.

First time out in the boss new trainees I got for Christmas.

See you at Watford

Scott of the Antarctic

Tranmere Rovers playing Wycombe Wanderers away at Adams Park in the FA Cup 1st Round Replay 

On a freezing night in Wycombe, Captain Scott led his slightly depleted band of adventurers to an FA cup replay win over the Chairboys in extra time.

Rovers lost Wilson and conceded a goal at the end of the first half. Ferrier (Morgan not cross the Mairsey) equalised in the second half and Rovers hung on bravely to take the match to extra time.  

With penalties looming, and some heroics from Captain Scott,  a run from Rushian fed Morris who danced away from his defender to put us through to the 2nd round.

Up next Bury Chichester at Prenton Park.

Half time refreshments were non existent due to the lack of hot water so it's NOT chocolate I stead of hot chocolate. 

POTM: The Captain himself, he's magic you know, Scotty.

What a proper FA cup night that was!

Tranmere away to MKDonalds at the Big Mac Stadium

Rovers away to the Dons(2004) at their lovely big Stadium MKwith mostly empty padded seats (thought old macdonald had a farm). 🚜 

Tranmere found enough uninjured players for a starting 11.  Rushian Hepburn Murphy scored early. By half time MK had equalised and had a man sent off.  RHM scored 2 more for his first hatrick.  ⚽️⚽️⚽️  Atleast he waited for the final whistle to claim the match ball. 

POTM: No contest, the hatrick hero Rushian Hepburn Murphy

Tranmere Rovers host Southend United at Prenton Park

Prawn takeaway as the Srimper visit the Rovers. My first trip to Prenton Park in sunny Birkenhead since the club shop posted me to Brighton 2 years ago.  Also my first Tranmere goal since promotion to league 1.  Tranmere struggled on the swamp of a pitch but managed at late goal from a Paul Mullin penalty to draw 1-1.  It was so wet, Ray (George not Gamma) looked from the Kop like he was wearing speedos. Sensible precaution that in case he needs to swim for it.

POTM: Paul Mullin for earning and scoring the pen for my first goal in League 1.

Tranmere Rovers away to Oxford United at the Kassam Stadium

My second trip to Oxford but this time to the other side of the city as the Rovers face the U's at the Alakazam Stadium. 

The Whites conceded 3 goals with no reply with 2 coming of them coming from the penalty spot. Dont know what a penalty is as we are not allowed them.  Nice day out with the SWA in the sun with my new Lux et Robor badge and Rover and Out scarf.  🌈

Just wondering.....has a referee ever had to book themselves for time wasting? 🧭⌛

Rover and Out for now.

Bognor Regis Town away to Worthing FC at the Woodside Road Stadium

Sunny Worthing living up to it's name today as Uncle Dougie's Rocks took on local rivals the Rebels.  It was end to end for 30 minutes when Worthing took the lead.  They scored 2 more to finish 3-0 winners.

Top marks to tbe Worthing fans who never stopped singing, even having a go at tequila. 

Time for a proper tequila.  🍹

Tranmere Rovers away to Bristol Rovers at the Memorial Stadium in League 1

Back in the west country for The Rovers vs The Gas.  

Tranmere had a shocker with the 9 players still on the pitch battling to lose by only 2-0.  Did see a big pirate, it must have been him that kidnapped our players.  Hope Micky can afford the ransom.

POTM:  Ollie Banks for his reaction when he was sent off for a first yellow!

Tramnere Rovers FC away to Portsmouth FC At Fratton Park in League 1

The first away game for the Rovers since returning to League 1 sees them facing Pompey at Fraggle Rock.  

Tranmere played well at times in front of the 18000 crowd  but lost 2-0 in conditions made difficult by strong winds. Saw 6 new players today. Wilson, Payne, Potter, Ray, Blackett-Taylor and Ferrier. In all a nice day out by the sea. 

POTM: New boy Kane Wilson looked good on loan from the Baggies

Uncle Dougie's ball to Dan Smith led to the only goal as The Rocks took the win 1-0 in difficult conditions.  A fantastic evening at a lovely ground and met up with Uncles Chris and Dougie.

Bridge Over Troubled Water

England take on the Rest of the World at Stamford Bridge in Socceraid 2019

An all star line up at the home of Chelsea for Soccer Aid 2019 but no sign of Robbie.  England played well in the first half some bloke off the internet scoring 2 but Usain Bolt pulled one back before the break. World  XI had the best of the second half and equalised to finish 2-2 after 90 minutes. World XI went on to win on penalties apparently as we had to leave for the train. 

POTM  - Mo Farah for tackling Usain Bolt. Legend(s).

 The lovely Rita 💘 Ora sang a song at half time.

No more football until August 😢

They played well and deserved to win the game but couldn't find the target and conceded to lose 1-0.Big of a bigger crowd than last time we were here. Nice bit of current bun too.🌞

Got a nice new England scarf and badge.

Good luck in France  . Bonne Chance.

Tranmere Rover away to Forest Green Rovers at the New Lawn in the   League 2 Play-off Semi Final Second leg

Rovers come to Nailsworth to take on The Vegans with a goal advantage after a spectacular Banksy Worldie in the first leg.

The Tofu Scranners score first to equalise the tie but a goal from Lord Norwood levels the match and wins the semi-finals for Tranmere.  Shhuush you lot.   And the crowd go wild.

Wembley here we come again leaving the New Lawn looking a little trampled.  Sorry about that.

First time at the AMEX to see the Rocks face the Hillians in a battle to be champions of Sussex at the home of the Seagulls.  Hope we don't see any seagulls, I might end up as a tasty snack.

It was an end to end game but was still 0-0 at 90 minutes.  Doug Tuck comes for Bognor on at the start of extra time and scores the only goal and take the cup.

Go Dougie.   Enjoy the Jafa cakes.

Tranmere Rovers away to Crawley Town at the Peoples Pension Stadium in League 1

Rovers visited the Reds at the Broadfield Stadium in sunny West Sussex in the last scheduled game of the season.  The White made a number of changes ahead of the playoffs next week including the return of Captain Steeeeeeeeeve.  Tranmere won the home leg 5-1 but were losers today going down 3-1 with the only goal Tranmere goal coming from a James Norwood penalty.  Disappointing result after such a good run of form.  But were in the playoffs.

See you soon in the playoffs

Tranmere Rovers away to Colchester United at the Jobserve Community Stadium in League 2

The Rovers away to the "U"s (imaginative) in darkest Essex.

Tranmere take their 6th win in a row with goals from Lord Norwood and David Perkins as it  finishes 2-0.  The ground echoes to the sound of Tequila but it's all too much for the drum which fails to make it to half time.  Lightweight!

🎵Your drum is intact, your drum is intact...

Really good atmosphere for the whole game despite the part time percussion.

To me to "U"s.
