They might not be a top team, but as much as it pains me to say so, they are a top club.

Good match, that. Thought Man United probably deserved something from that, but two class goals from Rogers the difference.

Dingle mates always use the empty seat thing to give me stick. Not difficult to point out though, that they would have had about 14000 empty seats for their Premier league game against Fulham the other night, if The Dome was the same size as Ewood. It isn't really a good gauge, considering Ewood is 30-50% bigger than most grounds.

What a free-kick.

Cubillas was World class for Peru that night. We had a Scottish welder that was giving it large before the comp started. We didn’t see him again for a month !

Even if they don't quite get there this year, they've got a strong foundation to build on if they're smart over the next few years. Granted this season really does seem like the best chance to break the Old Firm monopoly, with both teams struggling far more than you'd expect.

Always take a flask and a few cups and a few of us share it. To be fair, there's never been a problem taking it in. Daughter buys the grandkids chips now and again,but the chances of me buying on the concourse disappeared when it went card only. Not just aiming it at Rovers, it should be against the law.

The £5m fee was certainly a bit of an albatross around Gallagher's neck. If we'd bought him for £500k you'd say he did quite alright for us over the years. £5m though, especially back then, was a lot of money and at this level should mean somebody able to come in and have an instant and sustained impact. But yeah, playing him out of position likely held his development back quite a bit. He was never going to be an effective wide man. He didn't have the skillset for that. He should have been coached in how to use his frame to good effect up top. He was never going to be a lethal scorer, but he had the potential to be a nightmare for defenders to deal with. Instead he just drifted into mediocrity before injuries done him in towards the end. Diaz would have been worth the £7m to Venky's if we'd sold him for profit (and it's down to pure incompetence that we didn't). From the team/fans pov I'm not sure he was ever really worth that. He did have two very strong half-season purple patches, but when he lost confidence he was hopeless. A £7m player in the championship simply can't be a confidence player, they have to be effective regardless. When he was lacking confidence he barely registered a goal or assist for multiple games. You'd also expect a £7m player to be able to pull a team up by the bootstraps and he didn't do that either. If the team played badly, so did he. Again, if we'd paid less for him you'd say he did alright for us in the end. £7m for two half season purple patches, though... not so much. With that said, some fans made a lot of money from his 20 goal half season, so I'm sure they consider him a success!

hearts extremely well organised and incisive on the counter attack,i think this is definately their year,provided they can handle the continual run of attritional games with everyone going all out to stop them ,hibs up next which certainly won`t be easy

Hearts apparently the first team to win four consecutive games against the Old Firm since the mid-80s. Fair play. One of the biggest obstacles for any underdog team to overcome is dealing with the pressure of facing a team with a big reputation. It's a psychological barrier rather than strictly talent or even form related. Definitely suggests they're the real deal this season.

I get that it is personal choice. The coalition are appealing to that personal choice Nobody is insinuating there’s going to be some miners strike style “scab” assaults if you do decide to buy a pint. It is an appeal It would make it less likely Sodexo continue with their pisspoor operations at Ewood if they don’t meet their margin It will probably work like that. Sodexo will make get cost back, and then make a fee on top and have a share deal with the club for the rest. It will be open book. If they don’t make their margin, I suspect Rovers will have to pay Sodexo up so it covers staff, food, transport costs etc and then fee Not buying in the ground will absolutely impact BRFC commercially

I think I agree with that. I don't think we were troubled by Millwall really but by the same note we rarely create chances unless they are gifted to us. If we can improve in that area I think we'll be fine, but it'll take more than this result to convince me we're safe. Under Coyle SG was reasonably good and I'd hoped on his return he was going to kick on but we never really played to his strengths. I don't think it helped that we paid a relative fortune for him and then played him out of position for years - that money on him and Diaz could have been used much more wisely (Diaz came good but then we fumbled the sale).

if cash had made that mistake in a sunday league game,he`d have been hogtied and shoved in the shower with the taps on cold😁

What a goal by Rogers

villa and utd appear to be playing a testimonial 🙂

Fully in agreement that Ewood Park has been neglected and needs much care, but comparing it to the murder of a baby through abuse is either a ridiculous exaggeration of what is going on at a football club or downplaying an evil and vile act.

Yes! Or inconveniently the Sweet FA 🤐

Keep your fingers crossed.

The foreign teams would give him a better chance to stand out for the national side too.

need to pick his best 11 and formation and stop moaning. They were very passive against Liverpool

he`s got them more organised than martin had them,they need to get rid of half their squad though,a lot of them ar`nt very good,hence they are struggling in the spl of all places🙂,their position says it all

I see Frank has been reduced to tantrums over referees and VAR already. I would humbly suggest your team just needs to be a bit more disciplined.

Good to see Hearts doing so well. Nancy has been a disaster at Celtic Has Rohl did ok/good since his appointment at Rangers?

The trouble is that the social services equivalent is probably the FA!
