"Rawson joined the Millers on a 28-day youth loan on 7 March meaning his loan spell finished the day before the win over Brighton.

After that game boss Steve Evans said his loan had been extended until the end of the season.

But he was then left out of Saturday's 2-0 loss at Middlesbrough, and the Millers manager said Rawson had been recalled."

This could actually be good news for our play-off push. Rotherham should be deducted the points they gained I think. Blackpool were given a fine because they had no points from the game to deduct.

Therefore we want Millwall to beat Wigan tomorrow and still have Rotherham in their sights. Their last two games are against Derby and Wolves - we need them to be fighting for their lives

I would've thought that Rotherham would lose the 3 points as well as receiving a fine.

As Brighton are safe, there won't be a need to award them points or to have the game replayed.

What was his excuse tonight?

Reading Tweets from Moose Ian Abrahams for talkSPORT, Rotherham should have been out of site in the first half.

Rotherham boss Steve Evans:

"Their goal came from a blatant Ross McCormack handball. If a Championship official can't see that then he shouldn't be in the Championship.

"If it is not handball then I've not got a pair of eyes. The referee is a good guy, he doesn't mean to make a howler like that, but the reality is it is a big match and he has made a howler.

"But it shouldn't have come down to that, it should have come down to us coming away with a handsome victory."

lol

Please do not use the word "handsome" in conjunction with anything to do with Steve Evans.

On the assumption we stay down, Millwall and Fulham stay up, we lose say Bournemouth, Boro and Norwich, with Brizzle, The Donkeys and Swindon coming up and Leicester, Burnley and that lot in W12 the Championship would have a reasonably southern bias next year
 

Steve Evans

Evans tactic is if in doubt blame the officials. I have posted before that I think that is a waste of energy. Better to try to improve what you are in control of

Assuming we don't go up I'd be happy to see Boro, Derby and Norwich go up and Blackpool, Wigan and Rotherham drop out and like you say a very good Southern bias if the top 3 in League 1 get up.

What as?

The massive pumpkin that turns into a coach.

Hang on, I've got that the wrong way around.
 

Steve Evans

I'm not sure Evans will be overly concerned, privately, about the outcome.

He's off to Peterborough at the end of the season, isn't he?

Obv I have little sympathy for Evans but I'm surprised the potential point reduction wasn't resolved before the Fulham match.
Not really fair on Rovrum, Fulham or Millwall that the situation isn't clarified before more matches are played.

For a long time I got irritated at Evans always blaming officials and saying "people don't want Rotherham in the Championship" etc as an excuse for losing matches where he claimed they had battered the opposition and they hadn't. My brother pointed out that this has in fact been a very smart strategy on Evans part, insomuch as it is effectively a rallying call for his troops - the players. By doing this, he is installing a mentality of "the rest of the world is against us - and we have to fight back and show them" in his players. Claiming a sense of injustice on his players behalf at losing matches, the need to fight against unfairness, looks to have kept them in the Championship this season, with limited resources. That's "job done - target achieved" regardless of what the outside world think of his tactics.

Most managers are like that.

Leaving Evans aside for a moment, if you're a Manager who has to come out after a game to explain a defeat or dropped points, what are your options?

You can't blame the Owner for eg not giving you enough money for players, for even if it's true, that can only end one way.

You can't blame the Players even if it was their fault, since that will only get their backs up and they'll get you the sack.

And there's no point in blaming the fans, for not understanding what you're trying to do, or being impatient etc, since once they turn on you, there's no way back there, either.

By the same token, you daren't blame the Media, even if they know sod-all, or are only looking for cheap headlines etc, since they will be sure to keep the knives sharp for the next stumble.

And you can't blame yourself for eg getting your selection or tactics wrong, since your credibility will immediately be on the line.

Which only leaves the poor old Officials, since they are the only ones who can't answer back.

Personally I blame the Owners and the FA, the former for not being more patient with their managers (the people they appointed, btw) and the latter for not having more of a spine when their Officials come in for unwarranted stick from tramps like Mourinho, Evans and Warnock etc.

He probably needs some beta-blockers!

Wouldn't fancy being the person responsible for what I assume was an admin error. He's probably cut out their liver and eat it with some fava beans and a fine chianti :yuck:

I know what you mean but I see them as 6 points for us, we are a club on the rise and they are going to stand still or decline, we beat them at arms length at their place and IMO will do again next season. I know I sound like a superior **** but such is life.:sorted:

Kind of agree but if it gives Millwall who are hopeless a fillip and they raise their game vs Derby tomorrow it's a result all round?
 

Steve Evans

As an aside, I actually quite like Rotherham and have always found the bulk of their fans quite welcoming. I just can't stand Evans.

How long did it take the league to give the outcome ?
