Aye, that's a reflection on Hagi's dodgy management skills, not Toogs

hone those management skills, Toogs--- polish up that CV and get yourself up to Lancs. I'd love to see him manage our Rovers!

That October I made my first visit to Ewood to catch a Rovers/Arse match that finished 1-4, IIRC. Maybe my presence added to that year's malaise.

nice catch MB.... the billiard room definitely gives him away--and is there any doubt which is the most beautiful shirt up on that wall????

damn.... cannot see this clip outside the UK

Thank you to all those that posted snaps. much appreciated. Wish I could be there amongst you tonight

Thanks for that, CLB.

Mum -- The scene you describe is a very touching but truly sad & beautiful scene. Would it be too morbid to ask someone to snap a picture of this scene at Jack's status for those of us that are too far away to pay our respect in the manner we'd like? Cheers, B/W

I know what you guys are going thru--I got hold of the news at 10:30 Eastern Time Sunday. I immediately read thru the 12+ pages (at the time) of this thread, desperate for more info I checked into all sorts of news outlets --but to no avail. A horrible feeling overcame my stomach, like something had bore a hole thru it. The breaking point came as I reviewed the Facebook page they'd set up in memoriam. One viewing of the snap w/ his lad broke my heart. I tossed and turned until 3:30 ET... in fact, i'm still sickened by it. These things are not supposed to happen in a supposed 'civilized' culture. Still, I apologize if my feelings have invaded this post --just wanted to share my feelings with Rovers' supporters. I just hope that JT's family obtain peace and tranquilitiy during this horrible time.

I can provide that book a good home, RTH. LEmme know if it's still available! cheers, b/w

Chuck... thanks for resusitating thread!!!! It's absolute GOLD!!!!

Ugh... Blanco is completely toxic. Interesting clip there on YouTube... notice the guy Lucas brought down in the box??? Anyone remember the Canadian trialist Hughes brought in 2-3 years back? DeWayne DeRosario? Apparently received an offer but decided to return to San Jose was it??? He's blossomed into a pretty useful player

Nice one, Benni. Now, don't pull a Bellamy.

Admiral Sicknote ? Get well soon, ryan !

I realize this isn't about Nonda, but it's relatively on topic as it pertains to a recent loan signing..... but has anyone been watching Pongolle's performances in Spain? He's driving spanish defenses mad!

My replicas only have numbers on the back as i'm too old skool for players' surnames. Preferred the days when the players ' numbers mirrored the position on the pitch and kits were piled up in the dressing room. I'm really not an old fart!

Will you still feel that way once the Admiral returns?

Something similar is happening over here at the moment...Bill Belichek, Head Coach of the NFL's New England Patriots was named as the 'third' man in a highly publized divorce in the State of New Jersey. Apparently, he'd known the woman since before she was married and they'd been having fertive daliances for a number of years, over a decade if the news articles are accurate. Yea, that Belichek, that well dressed slob that roams the sidelines in torn clothing! Perhaps American can provide more details as he must live w/ this stuff on a daily basis.

very true, bucky. I've not been paying Duff any mind this term, has he kissed the barcode badge yet?

OH yea! I see that happening, Champagne Football returns to Cockneylandia !
