No, not at all! I think if you read the thread all the way to the beginning, you would have realized this. No big deal!

I think you misunderstand DrummerBoy. AESF has chosen to no longer participate in this thread. He is not banned as you seem to think.

I wonder if Souness requested that Bellamy not play in the St James fixture as part of this deal? Sort of like a gentlemens agreement between Rovers and Brum for Savage last year to not play at St Andrew's ? Just a question I would have liked to have seen brought up. I like the signing, but can't help wonder if the one year out clause has to do with protecting the player if Rovers get relegated.

And also no names on the back of each jersey

I have never been accused of trying to attain a degree in English from a reputable university but from the quote John Williams makes "Changing the name is definitely something I'd consider if it helped our ambitions." I don't think it's done and dusted. Maybe just a possibility

2-0 Rovers. Morten Gamst Pedersen to stuff both past Lehman I can feel it in me bones

Steve Bruce All of Manchester United,and anything associated with Manure Kerry Fraser (sorry not football) Ben Kingsley- Who cares if somebody doesn't call you Sir. Dwight Yorke That is all

"Down there they slag everything about Scotland. After my first game back for Rangers the other night I had about 20 texts from the boys at Blackburn saying things like '7-1? U must B glad 2 B back in such a good league!' I guess we now know why no BRFC players have ever registered here at the site No text speak allowed

What? Again? Bring absolute joy to my summer? That's Nellie in the first row, far right... I wonder how many players are left in the team from that picture?

what about us aussies when are we going to be treated with a visit, im sure it would be a great idea to have a premier league club out here in the english summer because that is just before the new australian league is about to start. Wouldn't be a problem with me emerton I live in Canada so depending on if they go to the USA, how far away would they be for me to make plans. If they were in LA or Dallas or Seattle, its out of the question. But this company over here are gonna make an annual event of bringing over European and South American squads. I think when Rovers played DC United a few years back, it wasn't part of that promotional tour I am speaking of.

I wonder with all the Americans in the squad, will we be seeing a summer tour this coming July to the USA for Rovers? Edit- I realise that Nelsen is a Kiwi, but he did play his footy for an American based squadron

It's what they are playing over in Europe right now, but not North America!! No need for the reminder, although the victory over Russia last night brought a bit of joy in this lousy lockout season

Ice Hockey? What's that?

I guess my idea of having a linesman in each quadrant of the field isn't so bad after all. Two for giving offside decisions, and two to look out for fouls away from the play and situations just like this one.

Don't really know where I stand on this debate Part of me says we're very lucky to have this healthy debate and not have to go through what these people are going through. On the other hand, I can see Americans Point of view in that I wonder how much is enough? I know that seems like a crass question to ask,and for that I apologise to anyone offended. If the USA would have said they were to give $100 million right away, I think there would still be those out there that thought of this as an insulting amount. Sure Iraq is about oil, but it was also about taking out a leader who was a tyrannical SOB. Kinda like Hitler. Except the US didn't get involved with WW2 until later on and were criticised for it. They get involved with Iraq to depose of a terrible criminal, and they still hear about it. A catch 22 scenario. The US is doing yeomens work for what their economy is going through at the moment. Sure you can blame that on the Iraq war, but really, it's a whole bunch of situations rolled up into one. My own country started with an offer of $500,000 before it went up to $4 million, but with public pressure that ballooned up to $10 million. I dunno what it is today to be honest. The difference here is, my countries' leader is in a perilous situation. He has a minority government and any mistake he makes, his government could fall. Don't want to upset the electorate! Anyhow, give all that you can. The people of that tsunami region need your help in the worst possible way.
