  1. Past hour
  2. Things could go pear shaped tonight, no Tronstadt out injured. I've seen us lose a few at Ewood, without Tronstadt. Let's hope not, give it the same effort we showed against Preston.
  3. Today
  4. My contribution to the always excellent Loft For Words site… https://www.fansnetwork.co.uk/football/queensparkrangers/news/65158/blackburn’s-magical-mystery-ride-under-venky’s-continues-apace-–-oppo-profile
  5. Match report from u18s game https://www.rovers.co.uk/news/2025/november/26/report--rovers-under-18s-3-3-bolton-wanderers-under-18s--2-4-on-pens-/
  6. We have three versions of our logo that we use…
  7. Stefan Mols Michael Mols used to play for Rangers in the 90s/early 2000s
  8. They don’t want him missing the Portugal group with the likes of Curaçao and Jordan, even at 41 he’d be getting the Siuuu out.
  9. Blancmange - Living on the Ceiling
  10. I know but as they are a reliable pod that was nominated for awards I wondered who it may have been
  11. Yes I see Ipswich are on the up. Probably 3 points we will have lost there, buggar. Thise 3 points and a win tomorrow we'd be in the mix.
  12. We have links every transfer window. Loads of them.
  13. The Ultimate 150 Rovers List Part Seven: The Early Premier League and Jack Walker Era - 1992 - 2000 Poll runs from - 26th November to 3rd December 2025 Some additional notes - Though any personal feedback is greatly appreciated Dates determined by when the player or manager left the club. Kevin Moran - The inspirational Irishman captained Rovers to promotion before laying the foundations for the success that followed. David May - The academy product built his career in the late 80s before a fine first full campaign in the Premier League in 1992 whet the appetite for Rovers fans hoping May would have a long career in Blue and White. The player had other ideas an joined rivals Man Utd. May would end with plenty of medals, but not many appearances for United. Sir Kenny Dalglish - 'King' Kenny joined the Walker Rovers project after a brief retirement from Liverpool. Dalglish transformed the fortunes of the club, culminating in the Premier League title in May 1995. Rovers Hall of Fame inductee. Mark Atkins - Premier League Champion 1995 - The poster boy of 'under rated hero' of 1994/95. The title the crescendo of his 7 years at Rovers. Remains a firm fan favourite. "Super Atko, Super Atko, woah woah" Ray Harford - Harford joined Dalglish as Assistant Manager in 1991. The two would orchestrate the success that followed, with Harford credited with the majority of the coaching during that period. An unsuccessful spell as Boss saw his time at the club come to an end as he followed on from Kenny in 1995/96. Bobby Mimms - Goalkeeper as Rovers clinched promotion into the Premier League at Wembley in 1992. Mimms would remain first choice the following season before losing his place to Tim Flowers. An able deputy Mimms featured four times as Rovers won the Premier League in 1995. Mike Newell - Premier League Champion 1995 - Playoff Winners 1992 - A crucial piece in the 1992 promotion season, including scoring the winning penalty at Wembley. Champions League hat-trick in 1996 as Rovers beat Rosenborg. Alan Shearer - Premier League Champion 1995 - Arguably the best Rovers' player ever, certainly in living memory. Explosive striker with a rocket shot, great in the air, great everywhere. Rovers Hall of Fame inductee. David Batty - The combative Leodensian looked to be the final jigsaw piece for King Kenny as his form in 1993/94 lead him to win the Player of the Year award and England honours. He would however miss the majority of the title campaign thanks to a broken foot, famously refusing a winners medal. His Rovers career is perhaps best remembered for his infamous fight in Moscow with Graeme Le Saux. Graeme Le Saux - Premier League Champion 1995 - Cultured full back was also capped for England during his time at the club. The messy incident with Batty in Moscow a sad end to a fine spell at the club. Sven Goran Eriksson - The would be Rovers boss for all of two months. The then Sampdoria boss Sven would go on to huge success in Italy with Lazio before finally coming to these shores to manage the England national team from 2001-2006. A sliding doors moment in the clubs history. Roy Hodgson - Hodgson took the reigns after Sven politely declined the opportunity to come to Ewood. Under Roy the Rovers flew out of the traps in 97/98 sitting top at Christmas with Hodgson twice named 'Manager of the Month' for August and December 97. The second half collapse carried into the start of the 1998/99 season where Hodgson's reign came to an abrupt end with rumours of 'losing the dressing room' thanks to his intense 'European' (now standard) methods. Stuart Ripley - Premier League Champion 1995 - 2 England Caps - Flying right winger a key cog in the Premier League title machine, with 5 assists. Colin Hendry - Premier League Champion 1995 - 'Braveheart' also won the Full Members' Cup in 1987 as a striker with the winning goal at Wembley. Rock in the heart of the defence throughout the title season, his performance away at Goodison against Everton in the title run in epitomised his desire and courage. Important headed goals at Leeds and Aston Villa also crucial to the title victory. Tim Sherwood - Premier League Champion 1995 - Captain of the title winning team, overcame a tough start to his Rovers career to become the leader of the Champions. Rovers Hall of Fame inductee. Tim Flowers - Premier League Champion 1995 - 10 England Caps - Man of the match performance on VE Day at Ewood against Newcastle the crucial final push to Premier League glory. Just don't talk to him about 'bottle'. Jason Wilcox - Premier League Champion 1995 - 3 England Caps - 'Bolsar Boy' shrugged off his early critics to enjoy huge success at Ewood, 7 assists in the title winning season feeding the SAS from the left wing. Chris Sutton - Premier League Champion 1995 - The other, less heralded, half of the fabled SAS. Sutton's contributions that season and beyond put him firmly on this list. Carried his scoring prowess to a Premier League Golden Boot in 1997/98. Creating another fine partnership with Kevin Gallacher, SAS and GAS. Kevin Gallacher - A vital winning goal against Crystal Palace (h) in 94/95 his telling contribution to the title success as a recurring leg injury hampered his early Rovers career. A prolific partnership with Sutton in 1997/98 fired Rovers to a top 6 finish and back into Europe. A regular fixture at Ewood since retirement with both the club and Radio Lancashire. Jack Walker - Took control of the club in January 1991 and his legacy lives on to this day. The successes that followed were down to the vision and ambition of the local lad done good. Rovers Hall of Fame inductee. The easiest vote on this list. Jeff Kenna - Premier League Champion 1995 - Signed during the title campaign the Republic of Ireland international made over 150 appearances for Rovers. An unlikely scorer against Crystal Palace during the title season his only goal for the club. Henning Berg - Premier League Champion 1995 - League Cup Winner 2002 - Norwegian international - As a player enjoyed huge success at Rovers, just be sure to ignore his ill fated spell as boss in 2012. Robert Coar - Made Chairman by Jack Walker after the death of Bill Fox in 1991. Coars tenure as Chairman over the next two decades saw Rovers reach historic heights. Now in an Honorary role he is still visible in the directors box on a match day. Others - Gordon Cowans, Alan Wright, Paul Warhust, Tony Gale, Lars Bohinen, Billy McKinley, Brian Kidd, John Filan, Kevin Davies.
  14. Yesterday
  15. He's a bit older than that these days 😁
  16. The ref probably got a good telling off for putting world cup revenue in jeopardy for something as silly as the rules.
  17. and the fact he’s never been sent off before doesn’t mean he shouldn’t have been.
  18. Ipswich are definitely building momentum now - it'll be interesting to see if they add in January. They could do with a proper goalscorer, but they may feel like they have enough already. They're still scoring enough in most matches, they just have the odd game here or there that they should win but instead end up drawing or occasionally losing. Boro have taken a pretty big risk hiring a relative unknown to replace Edwards. Much like with Vitor Matos at Swansea, it could either be an inspired appointment or one that tanks their promotion chances. They've only won one of their last six games now, so Hellberg is going to have to get a grip on things quickly if they want to remain in the promotion hunt. Southampton are going well under Eckert - not sure if he wants the gig full-time, but he's certainly making a strong case for it if so. With their squad they should be targeting playoffs as a minimum, so as long as they don't hire another dud you'd expect them to be up there. It's hard to know what to make of the rest. A lot of fluctuations in form for all of them at various points so far. Stoke's strong start has kept them up there, but they've already lost five matches, which is more than anyone else in the top six at the moment. Some strong, experienced managers at a lot of the clubs in and around the playoff positions - you'd have to think January is going to be vital for those who ultimately make it. I wouldn't rule out Leicester giving Cifuentes the boot in the near future and getting themselves back into contention either. With that squad it shouldn't require a world class manager to get them moving in the right direction.
  19. 3-0 defeat to Tamworth. BBC has Stritch playing in CM, when he's an attacker/forward. Only 5 subs on bench of the possible 7, according to BBC. Without knowing the details, just this alone looks another embarrassment. What sense to send out U21 players on one month-loans to non-league and then not able to field full squads in matches - and to weaken a poor side. It looks like self-sabotage. Though, it must be said, no guarantee that the full-strength reserves could beat Tamworth these days. (Looks like other bigger teams struggled in the other fixtures). Edit: 26 yr old Michael Mols lined up for Tamworth, formerly of Rovers Reserves.
  20. "BBC Sport understands that the fact it was his first red card in 226 international appearances was taken into account." Ah right, so past good behaviour allows the rules to become flexible. Who knew. I'm sure they'd do the same for a player who was less financially lucrative.
  21. Shouldn’t Sheffield Wednesday be like Bury by now?
  22. Cos he has signed for less than 7k a week
  23. It's understandable him wanting all the hardcore that can come to turn up instead of the 8k who have been recently. Club really need to get off their arse and do something to fill the Blackburn end though if they want atmosphere versus squeezing people out of going and just grabbing as much as they can off the few. Clowns.
  24. How the hell could Sheffield W afford Liam Cooper who signed a week ago on a free? They got more money on wages than we have.
  25. and so blatant too.
