A win is a win and these have been in short supply for the under 21's this season so the objective was achieved but really they made hard work of it. I said after about 70 minutes that you couldn't tell that we had an extra player such was our lethargy. Going ahead and playing against the the men I expected much more but the play was quite insipid with very little intensity and far too often the easy option was taken. Orient deservedly equalised and Honour made a couple of smart saves and as the half time whistle went Batty, in an act of frustration volleyed the ball across the pitch. We toiled again in the second half but got the penalty which seemed to knock the stuffing out of Orient and the third came as a result of this although in between Orient did have another couple of chances which Honour dealt with. The players were taken off the field twice during the match. On the first occasion it was just after we scored our second goal. Prior to the penalty being taken there was the usual gamesmanship and a couple of verbal spats. I wondered if something untoward had been said but just about as we were were entering stoppage time I heard the linesman telling a few players they were going off again. Cue confusion as nobody had a clue what was going on. It transpired (I heard a steward talking) that there was a drone overhead and it was deemed (correctly in my view) unsafe.

They did try for a couple more, unfortunately their unwillingness to pay the going rate in wages led to Brian De Keersmaecker signing for Oxford & Márk Kosznovszky ending up at Portsmouth https://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/sport/25296373.blackburn-rovers-target-explains-move-championship-rivals/ https://lowertiers.co.uk/blackburn-to-move-for-mark-kosznovszky/

Must be handled correctly yes. The question is why did we choose to replace Travis with him when we knew about this issue. My guess is he was the first choice and they must've felt that someone else would get him if we didn't jump in now. But even so maybe we should've moved on to someone else.

Any actually close to cbs? There's a few dotted about

As a local tip, find yourself a desi pub and have a mixed grill

You need to work on your sarcasm monitor, Len.

Me either I do not like that fella.

Appreciate the update on Baradji at least it is something. Foot injuries can be difficult due to limited blood flow. Must be handled properly or it will become a life long struggle.

VI said medium term what ever that means. It is becoming more and more apparent that they had no clue as tonthe actual extent of his injust or what it would take to get him healthy. Idiots the lot of em. As for Scotty's new contract well that is to help inflate his sale price nothing more nothing less. A real dumbass move shipping Hyam off but they just don't care they don't not a one of em. January outs, Tronstadt, Wharton and Cantwell.

I know a few pubs that'll be ok for away fans in the city centre if you want to know.

I dont think its to cash in as I cant see a flurry of teams or any decent fees being offered. Has serious injury red flags even if he has a run of games between now and January. Hes a decent age but not young enough to cause a spike in price. And although hes usually solid, I dont think that his Watford return is by any means standard for him. Its an easy deal to do, obviously a Rovers fan, not a player playing above his level, weak negotiating power considering the injuries and all thats been done is a year added. A good decision to sign him up but it wont be a big wage spike by any means.

I'd assume Scotty was an easy one to do given all the variables and i doubt he;ll be going anywhere soon. Then again when the forces in the shadows get to work anything can happen i wouldn't trust these feckers as far as i could shove them. Every player is a £ sign and potential commission as is their cheaper wage replacements.

Only Berg was a legend!

good news,they`ve only given him a new deal so they can cash in on him in january

Good news

I am certain that "Colin's Cheeky Bits" was merely the centre fold spread in the first few editions of FTH. I never heard that it was adopted as another fanzine.

One of my favourite song lyrics ever, in Al Stewart’s ‘Year of the cat’: She comes out of the sun in a silk dress, running like a watercolor in the rain.. Just brilliant, makes me smile every time I hear the song. Enjoy OjF.

I'm going. Although I'm sure that away end holds around 3k.... Isn't a cat in hells chance we sell that many. 1500 or so.

And this amused me from Celtic fans... Goodnight, Sweet Prince

Doherty, Boggan & Powell with the goals

What ..like Henning Berg, Rudy Gestede, Jordan Rhodes getting jobs here?

With a name like Kieron McKenna, I don't think he'll have gone to the "right school"...

I’m off to see Al Stewart’s last ever UK gig next week in Glasgow. Reports from earlier shows are that him and his backing band have been excellent.

Gerrard returning seems to be the preferred option among the bluenoses
