My goal is asehole, there were no computer lessons when I went to school, some of us had to work for £3 an hour, and couldn't afford further education.

In the early seventies, the school I went to (Billinge) had computer studies. At that time I could only wish for a job paying three pounds per hour.

Yep, think we'll struggle to get any decent fee for him with his injury record. We'll be stuck with him and his 12 games a season.

I wonder if the teams will come out to "Johnny Todd" (The Z-cars theme tune) ?

Probably. 

Will we be in the away dressing room I wonder?

[Forever Blue]

Is De Neve any good? Forgot to ask after the Accy match!

Is he quick quick or just quick? Skilful? Etc etc

Seems like our medics don't know the difference between cramp, a calf and a hamstring.

I'd sack the feckin lot of them.

How is it possible for rovers not to provide streaming when the away side does? Baffling.

[arbitro]

It will be interesting who starts alongside Hyam today. Wharton's still being nursed back and Carter is lame again.

At some stage either Atcheson, Pratt or Litherland will probably play.

[MarkBRFC]

Could play Pickering there as a stop gap for a friendly, and give Batty some minutes when Riberio tires.

Commentary on Radio Lancs?

Probably using our Media Facilities too!

[harryhealless1928]

Shows we need two(as a bare minimum)extra central defenders as Carter & Wharton are always injured or unavailable. Lets hope McLoughlin takes one of the slots.

What happens if Hyam gets injured or sent-off?(Sent-off somewhat unlikely I know!!)

He is rather a unique players for Rovers in completing so many games!

Unaware of McLoughlin transfer when posted.

[WacoRover]

This is my gripe (on another thread, “does the club care?”)…

Go to EvertonFC.com, they have a wonderful gameday blog. Complete with pics of Ewood & commentary. So, I will have to follow our club, at Ewood, on Everton’s blog?!? 🤣😂

Hard to say just going off last weekend’s game in blistering heat. He’d not very big or physical however he can sprint ok and he’s a willing runner but I suspect he isn’t the trickiest player on the planet.

Could be our best 11. Extremely weak bench.
