Safe from relegation but unable to reach the League One play-offs, Doncaster Rovers may have nothing left to play for this season – and judging by the highlights reel of Saturday’s goalless draw with Fleetwood Town, it showed.
Manfully sticking to the task of producing highlights from the Keepmoat Stadium the club have published a full 27 seconds of best bits from the weekend.
Said best bits include kick-off, full-time and … not a lot else. Their season may be over but at least Doncaster have not lost their sense of humour.
One dismayed supporter took a unique approach to his 250-word match report, explaining, at length, the difficulties of watching paint dry.
“The problem with paint drying is that it’s hard to know what you are going to get,” wrote Jack Peat for Popular Stand. “You’ve painted the fireplace wall and returned after supper to find it is bone dry, but take the same paint with a matt finish and apply it to the upstairs bathroom and all of a sudden you’re left red faced with paint all over your paws.”
“Dealing with this veritable mixed bag of outcomes is one of life’s great challenges,” he continued, before concluding: “Rovers and Fleetwood drew 0-0. I won’t bore you with the details.”
