We all know the chances of Rotherham causing an upset at Ashton Gate next week are quite small, nonetheless, I wish to extend all encouragement possible to the Millers in their quest to cause an upset. Since we can’t loan them players, or really send any fans down to support them since we’ll be playing at the same time, I’m afraid it’s come to a more hippy-like solution of sending them good vibes and positivity!
So touch the Millers badge – and think happy positive thoughts! They mustered a deserved draw at our place not all that long ago, and now they’re under no pressure at all – so come on Rotherham, go out there, enjoy it, and get us a result – if not for us, then for former player Ian Breckin, or former manager John McGovern!
Hmm. I can’t really see it making much difference, but I can’t see it doing any harm either! So go for it, good folk of Rotherham United FC, finish the season with pride and have a positive say in our fate this season!

Sign Jack NOW.
I think we heard you the first time
I agree though – certainly on his current form!
you know you’re desperate to end our shit years when you actually touch the badge haha.
It’s certainly a sign of desperation!
i’m not superstitious or desperate (!), but i’ve just rung home and told the missus to make sure the shirt i wore for the bournemouth and orient games’ washed and ironed ready. Not taking any chances!
hehe I posted a similar message on the Forest MySpace – http://www.myspace.com/nottingham_forest
Believe!!
Me and my boyfriend have now worn the same clothes since the Brentford game. They go in the wash seperately saturday evening and are hung ready for the football the following week! Very desperate.
Hands up who touched the badge ::) I Did
What happens if Blackpool lose, we win 2-0, and Bristol lose 2-0?
I touched the badge.
I just touched the badge and the woman next to me at work just said..
“Why are you touching a badge? Its not a touch screen!”
I touched the badge,closed my eyes and wished.
Silly I know…………..but it can’t hurt can it!
I touched the badge! Its desperation I know but who gives a shit! We just need a result…..
I wonder if Boppy will be playing for them?
Could be interesting that, if he is….
course, if we hadn’t dropped so many bloody points because of poor play we wouldn’t have to engage in all this ju-ju stuff.
Anyway, I prefer to stick pins in an effigy of Gary Johnson (BC’s manager)
Lol, I was going to admit to touching the damn badge in the comments box, all full of shame, but to do so I had to scroll past 10 other admissions!
Come on Rotherham, come on Bopp, get us out of this league! Actually, wasn’t it Bopp who sent the Gills down? Its another omen (made of straws by clutching fingers)!
I’m moving back to Nottingham from Cambridge, and I hope to be rewarded with Championship football by the Mighty Millers. Can’t wait for Saturday!
Let’s hope Boppy plays. He has a track record for doing the business at times like these….. Gillingham at home on the final day a couple of years ago springs immediately to mind.
Bristol have been stuck in this division for years and have a track record for throwing it all away at the last. CC is doing the right thing with the mind games – let’s keep feeding their doubts and nerves and you never know.
I’m clutching those straws so hard I think they’ll break.
Btw guys, boppy is injured…so won’t play…
A Rotherham fan here; Its nice to receive your positive vibes but to be honest guys I think it would be more productive to use a Bristol effigy and send bad vibes to that instead. Our team (A generous term to use for a collective of 11 players) is, shall we say, a little low on confidence, spirit, ability, pride, talent, strength, speed, agility, passion, skill, experience, competence, vision, and motivation. So whilst we would love to do you a favour your best chance is hoping that Bristol wont take the guarenteed 2 goal opportunities we generously offer our oposing teams ( could be more depending on the goalie we chosse) and our strikers become possessed by the legendary Alan Ball (god rest his soul) suddenly develop a ruthless streak.
Good luck fotball is a funny old game
I touched the badge and eustim’s comment as well! Last night I was also speaking to an uncle of a teammate of Mark Robins back when he was playing here in Greece (this is NOT a joke). I think that calling a ancient girlfriend once obsessed with voodoo wouldn’t hurt either. Even if the current one makes a face I will make sure she understands it was for a good cause. Right before the game starts I will also plant a small piece of wood in the earth to keep the devil away. Remains to see which Red good ol’ Saty prefers – Forest’s, BC’s, Rotherham’s… or Crewe’s.
We will get you that win on saturday, we have no pressure on us and the players will have been warned by Robbo to finish the season on a winning note, they owe it to themselves and more importanntly, the loyal die-hard fans of Rotherham United F.c who stick with the team through anything, this and last season being a prime example, aswell as giving them quality vocal support.
FOREST’S GOING UP, MILLERS GOING DOWN………BUT…………….WE WILL BE BACK.
GOOD LUCK IN THE CHAMPIONSHIT, UP THE MILLERS
[...] followers of the Millers, but I’d certainly like to think so. So we’ve had ‘touching the badge‘, well now we have a mantra to go with it – for the remainder of this week, to evoke images [...]
