  1. Agreed, with Danny Murphy it felt like he didn't give a shit and was around for one last payday - he also backed Kean which instantly puts a black mark against his name. With Whittingham I think it was just a season too far and also an inability to adapt to League 1 football, which is significantly different to the Championship.

  3. Wouldn't surprise me if they turned up to watch the Leeds game behind closed doors.

  5. If one small good thing could come out of this it would be championship wages becoming more realistic all across the board Half the players in this basic bread and butter league don't know they are born Liverpool not getting the Prem title would be the icing on the cake ?

  6. Fabulous that, Ian, thanks. Standard of football was dreadful but absolutely fascinating to watch.

  7. Just watched the first episode. Not a Darwen accent to be heard anywhere. One Bolton type accent with the others being stereotypical ‘northern’ accents but from nowhere in particular. A few shots of ‘Darwen’ the town which weren’t Darwen and a quick shot of the moors which, again, wasn’t Darwen Moors. Apart from that, it was fine lol. A bit slow moving but, on the whole, a decent watch.

  8. It's incredible how durable the human body can be on one hand, whilst extremely fragile on the other. People have survived all kinds of crazy shit, but you hit your head the wrong way and you're a goner. Had a coworker who was a little worse for wear after a night out. She was climbing the stairs at home, only got to the second step but fell backwards. She went into a coma and died not long after. RIP

  9. I don't have BOTW and also have no system to play it on (I don't own a Wii U or Switch) but ideally I'd like to play the games in chronological order if possible. Link to the Past and the N64 games in particular are supposed to be very good so I'll get around to playing them at some point. I've also got Windwaker on the Gamecube which I haven't played yet.

  10. I think a lot of cut scenes were removed from the demo. I saw some journalists play on youtube and they had a different version. They could play as far as where you rescue Aeries from the lab. I agree with your take above. I do find the battles tad drawn out though, but the original was the same. I continued paying the original last night. Very calming in these times. That crazy, 4 full price games. I'm not against it, but god it's gonna take what, a decade? Unless they have a lot of work done already.

  11. I'm a Rovers fan who was born in Blackpool and, even though in my mid-70s, still have mates - yes 2 of them! - from schooldays who were fans of Blackpool. One of them lives in London, so can only really attend away games in the South of England; but the other still has an FY postcode and was a Regular at Bloomfield Road until the dreadful Owen Oyston - ironically an Older Boy of our old school than us two - began to be the subject of their equivalent of our protests against our owners. My mate and his family changed the habits of a lifetime and stopped going to games. Once they achieved their aim, they returned to the fold and he and I sat side by side at the last 'Pool vs. Rovers pre-season Friendly. Yes, some of the Protesters found other things to do when they stopped going to games; and I couldn't tell you how their gates last season compared with the last pre-Protest season but you can see the hard core of fans - like my 73-year-old pal are back in the fold.

  12. Now that's a good idea I'd not thought of. Perhaps we need, at least for the next few seasons, to go back to the concept of regional divisions for the present Leagues One and Two. Well thought-of, that man!

  13. Obviously we never had the best of him; but, at least, he wasn't a Danny Murphy, using Rovers as a transition into another career. Perhaps we signed him a season too late. RIP Peter Whittingham

  14. ? I went to Turf Moor, Nick, with a few of my India Mills FC, Rovers supporting mates when they played Runcorn in 1981. We were in the away section of the Longside and it’s fair to say we went mental when Runcorn went one up. Unfortunately, the Clarettes eventually won 2-1.

  18. I came into a love of the EFL when our son was getting his Masters at Reading 7 years ago. He was already a big Liverpool fan, and as a newcomer, my mind was wide open. I started reading & learning about the game, and I might say, Rovers chose me, I just kept going back to them. The FA Cup matches were on U.S.TV back then, and one of the first games I saw was Blackburn/ManC (it ended 1-1). They were a year removed from the PL, but I really liked Bowyer & many of the young players- Scott Dann, Spurr, Hanley, Rhodes, King, Marshall, etc. My first Rovers game was a win at Reading in September, & I visited Ewood a week later, it was a big thrill. I am a Blackburn Rovers fan for life!

  19. Oh dear I was hoping nobody would ask me that. The last time I had to deal with these was in 1970 for three months. Most of my time then was spent removing and replacing broken loom crank shafts and not actually working on running machines. Here I go making a fool of myself. The diagrams you are looking at are an actual cross section of the weaving process. As I remember it the " Sley ", carrying the " Reed ", rocks back and forth off a lower pivot tightening up the cloth as it goes. The Reed itself is a frame carrying lots of vertical wires, the threads ( warp ? ) goes between the wires. The " Healds" shoot up and down in conjunction with the sley allowing the shuttle carrying the weft to weave the cloth. I'll ask my mum next time we speak for the real info. She ran a dozen " Northrop " Automatic Battery looms which were actually made in Blackburn, I believe the late Fred Pickering started out as an apprentice at " Northrop's ". I can't be the only one on here who's seen a loom working surely. Blackburn was a textile town with lots of weaving sheds back in the day.
