Albion step on the GasChampionship West Bromwich Albion by aries22 (U1946540) 09 March 2008 Bristol Rovers did ok and they should have had a penalty against Chris Brunt in the first half, but in the second half Albion stepped up a gear and I don't think the scoreline flattered us - we dominated midfield, played the better passing football and we were end to end and our finishing was good. Roll on the semi-final draw, I don't care who we get, there is nothing to fear. Latest 10 commentsRead members' comments or add your own

I guess we didn't do you any favours this season either... but how about Albion/City for promotion this year, and to hell with the rest, lol. posted Mar 10, 2008 rovers fan here, couldnt get a ticket so watched it on bbc. i thought the final score was really harsh on us. didnt deserve to lose 5-1 but you tought us a good lesson when it comes to taking chances. you took yours very well, we didnt. thats what it came down to in the end. i will add though that YES it was a pen in the 1st half. makes no difference which way he was facing/going. if it was in the area then its a pen. if it happened on half way line then it would of been a foul so whats the difference!! same as ronaldo really a def pen not given. also to that mug from trashton gate, i recall you lost 5 nil to WBA?? at least we put one past them you muppet. hope WBA win the league with stoke runners up and watford kill you in play off. end of the day it was a great run by us which had to end sooner or later and fair shout to the lads but didnt deserve to lose like they did. not sour grapes WBA desrved the win though. good luck for rest of season WBA.

Miller was outstanding and I think in the end a difference in class told, despite decisions on penalties and offsides going against us. Good luck in the rest of the competition (and beating City to promotion). Comment on this article |
