  1. Well Engerland are at it again, Against the CZE, as it says on the telly box. First things first, there was a lovely tribute to Gordon Banks. And a very brief mention of Fred Pickering, but no photo...... I loved Banks, never saw Fred, but a bit more would have been nice. The City little fellow has put us one nil up. Onwards and upwards?
  2. Rovers Trivia Quiz 1. Which former Rover never enjoyed his time at Ewood: "The dourness of the club matched that of the town. I could not shake off the depression that caused me to wake each day regretting that I had to go to the ground. Life was grey and monotonous". He did, however, withdraw his infamous transfer request after scoring a hat-trick against Manchester Utd on the first day of the 1960-61 series. 2. Which Rover returned to Chelsea in 1997 for a 5 million pound fee to become the most expensive defender in English football. 3. What year did we sign Alan Shearer? 4. Which 3 former Ewood heroes are currently in the Norwich City first team squad? 5. Which former Rover, in 2013, also left for Norwich. Subsequently he moved to Swansea where he became a member of a very select group: “Players who have been relegated from the Premiership FOUR times!” 6. When Rovers sold Colin Hendry in 1989 he immediately became “Player of the Year” for his new club. Which club? 7. Morten Gamst Pedersen is back playing for the club we bought him from! Which club? 8. Which Rovers legend retired from football on 24th May 2009 and was voted the 47th best player in the Premier League for the decade 2000-2009 in the Daily Mail? 9. Who managed Rovers to the Third Division Title in 1974-75. 10. Where was former Rovers centre-forward Roque Santa Cruz born? BONUS QUESTION! only 6 clubs have provided more England internationals than Rovers (48). Which clubs? Answers 1. Derek Dougan 2. Graeme Le Saux 3. 1992 4. Grant Hanley, Ben Marshall, Jordan Rhodes 5. Martin Olsson 6. Man City 7. Tromso 8. Tugay 9. Gordon Lee 10. Paraguay Bonus: Villa 73, Spurs 73, Liverpool 67, Everton 66, Man U 64, Arsenal 63 (This is from a 2015 Daily Telegraph article so not quite up to-date.) Some of these answers I looked up on Wiki……..so I can’t guarantee 100% accuracy!
  3. That time of year again - player of the year. Personally think there are only a select few that are worthy of the vote. I have gone for Nyambe. Travis a close second.
  4. Apologies if this has been posted before but I only discovered this recently - there are some brilliant Rovers related quizzes on the Sporcle website, in my opinion none better than this one, where you have to name the most used eleven players of every season in the 1980s and 1990s. Very frustrating.... https://www.sporcle.com/games/culverhouse/top-xis-blackburn-1980s-1990s-copy
  5. Seeing as the new season is just days away, lets have a predictions thread. See if people are brave enough to put their reputation on the line! All for a bit of fun, especially to look back on at the end of the season....Just copy and paste. 9 simple questions Where will Rovers finish this season? : Player of the Year : Young Player of the Year: Top Goalscorer: Championship Promoted : Championship Relegated : Dark Horse : Hey....Stranger things have happened : Miscellaneous :
  6. With the players apparently having finished up for the season, lets get the ball rolling with this. For me it has to be Graham. In a season of disappointments with players who I expected so much more from(Lenihan, Nyambe , Brereton, Rothwell). Inconsistent players (Dack, Reed, Bell, Rodwell) And frankly those who have really disappointed (Mulgrew, Raya) Then the final category, squad pedestrians (Bennett, Conway, Evans, Smallwood) To be honest the only players apart from Graham who has exceeded my expectations were Armstrong (who could arguably go to the inconsistent players list) and Travis. 1-Graham 2-Armstrong 3- Travis
  7. Following on from the great thread earlier on about the best and worst performances you’ve seen in a Rovers I thought it’d be good to outline our favourite 5 and worst 5 games (and their dates) while we’ve supported Rovers.

  9. I don't know if this has been done on here before but I'll give it a whirl. If you could add, change, or remove a rule in football to make the game better what would it be? Mine would be to treat injuries like they do in rugby. Instead of players lying prostrate followed by a few seconds of benign passing before someone puts it out of play so that a physio can come on, I'd have play continue as normal. The ref waves on the physio who tends to the injured player whilst the game goes on around them. The ref still has discretion to halt proceedings if they deem that it's warranted. To me this would not only cut down on time wasting, but it would ensure that those who aren't really injured would think twice before asking for the magic sponge.
  10. https://fantasyfootball.telegraph.co.uk/championship/home I've only just noticed this and it is free to play as long as you aren't also playing The Telegraph version of the Premier League or Champions League game. £50 million budget to pick 11 players. You can choose from a number of different formations. I've created a league if anyone wants to join. League Pin: 8166816 Password: 1875.
  11. Due to be released this morning. If we are going off them lot down the roads fixtures, it looks like we'll be away first & boxing day, and at home new years day/last day of the season. Anyone got any preferences? For me, if we're starting away I hope we can avoid the likes of Stoke/Derby/Boro etc. Someone like QPR/Hull would be good I think.
