There is nothing wrong with the pitch tbh. Had so much rain on Saturday it was hardly a surprise to see it sodden. Drained ok when the rain relented a bit.

Yes it's not always the high profile players Every team needs a Mark Atkins style to win owt. He was our Vieira or Scholes type really. He did it to perfection that season. He was our hard man in centre mid

v Sheff Utd (h) - 6/11/21 - 146th Birthday
ossyian replied to rog of the rovers's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Met a coach load Sheff U fans before the match at a pub in Ossy. I asked them if they were going to win and almost to a man said "Are we fuck. We're fucking shit". I said you remind me so much of Rovers fans who would say the same about ourselves. Made me giggle -

Yes he's a hell of a nicker of the ball! Don't think they realise he's there half the time -
Happy birthday Faz

Yes remember that now, Exeter City were going well at the time at the top end of the division. Also mistakenly called Curran Trevor instead of Terry. Some player he was at Sheff Wed for a season or 2 -

And so he should the plank. No probs liking Reeds post in private but public is not on as a senior pro at Blackburn Rovers -
Happy birthday Faz
ossyian replied to simongarnerisgod's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Just listened. Comes across as a real humble self effacing bloke who thought himself lucky not to have to work for a living. Does himself down a bit on his ability as a footballer. Spoke like that when I met him. Be one of those Faz in the Cav on Saturday night with Simons Garner and Barker -

Sorry said York instead of Chester. Knew it was a city with a roman Wall lol -

Did we not go on a club record winning streak that season? Was it something like 14 or15 wins out of 16? Our back 4 of Brannigan, Rathbone, Keeley and Faz were far too good for that league apart from facing Trevor Curran of Sheff Wed who brought that to an end at Ewood in some fashion. Jack Charlton didn't rate us did he because we seemed to win 1-0 every week with Andy Crawford scoring every match. Kendall knew how to win by not conceding. Funny that isn't it. Don't concede and you might win. McKenzie was magical too when he could be arsed to bother!! -

Happy 70th Faz. Club legend. Grew up watching him at CB. Also had the pleasure of meeting him and Jim Brannigan in Tenerife when he was England coach. Lovely bloke. But that Jim!! Got my wife pissed on sex on the beach cocktails before he headed to Veronica's. Told me great tales of their time at Rovers and how they got bombed out of York City for their outspoken views of management! -

Davenport's first couple of years here must have been hard for him due to 2 long term injuries. Since he's been fit he's never been properly utilised by Mowbray. Never had a run of games but gets the odd 15 minutes here and there and always seems to be the first to get left out of a match day squad. Strange really because he was superb apparently at Burton in the Championship when we were in League 1. Very highly thought of at City too apparently -

Hope everyone enjoys today and take great delight in knocking lumps out of each other as prescribed by our c..t of a manager -
He's been saying that for the past 3 years or so. He likes "men with boots on" whatever the fuck that's supposed to mean. Alludes to Sheff Utd having "men in their 30s" not a young side like us. Maybe explains why he spunked millions in wages to the useless Bennett and Evans and a has been Mulgrew and to get Downing back here to sit on his arse for 6 months. Go back to when he was appointed here. Questioned the need for an academy and was all for closing it so money could be spent on 1st team squad. To get journeyman in their 30s no doubt. Men with fucking boots on ffs
-
I had no intention of doing so but read your post and couldn't help myself. What complete and utter twaddle he spouts. Mens wages??? Reminds me when he said he needs men with boots on not kids who can play football. He wanted to hear mens voices on the training ground not kids. Sums him up really

Goes unnoticed by most on here for some reason

I like Rothwell but he was dog shit today and deserved to be taken off. I thought Trav and Buckley did ok without being outstanding. Defence pretty solid and another clean sheet is heartening again. Not an easy place to get points but thought we did ok

ossyian replied to Oldgregg86's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Maybe used the wrong phrase there Mark. Probs should have said made players fearful of or hated playing at Ewood such as Quinn, Thompson, Wilcox etc. Jim Smith said as much when he was manager here in the 70s -

FFS sparks we all know you hate him for whatever reason but it's boring now. Give the lad a chance to have a run of games which hes never had to prove you either right or wrong.You sound like a typical Riverside boo boy who ruins careers. Thought he was superb today till he tried in 2and half. The lad is a footballer. -
Nobbers v Rovers, Tues 24 Nov 7.45pm
ossyian replied to darrenrover's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
I think he deserves more game time now. His engine suits our style. Would be gutting to see Evan's back in when fit ahead of Davenport and Buckley -
Rovers vs Reading at Virtual Ewood
ossyian replied to Lancs Rover's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Yeah but to be fair JRC is not really a specialist full back the same as Gallagher is not a winger. Wonder how our players would look in their natural positions. You are wrong to glibly write off JRC because he had a hard time defensively tonight. This lad is a top talent if used properly. Still created tonight though -

Graeme Hick was always referred to as a flat track bully. He used to hammer the bowling at county level but struggled for years against test quality bowling -

Hope you're wrong about Davenport. I really rate the lad but you may be right. Buckley will be a top player. He oozes class but he needs game time now. Chapman has the talent - I really hope he makes it. Be that here or elsewhere -
Coventry v ROVERS
ossyian replied to Hoochie Bloochie Mama's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
How can you judge their talent when 1 gets 15 minutes game time and the other almost none. I have watched these lads at U23 level and believe me they stand out. But now they need football time for a few weeks away from being bench warmers. It's very unfair to judge these lads when they are getting no game time in them. Young Davenport has had 2 very difficult seasons with bad injuries - and that's nothing to do with being injury prone. Believe me these 2 lads are the business. -
Coventry v ROVERS
ossyian replied to Hoochie Bloochie Mama's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
That's the difficult bit for the young lads like Buckley, Dolan and Davenport etc. They need football time which they aren't getting now. Poor Buckley and Davenport have hardly played any competitive football since March. No good for their development to be bench warmers at their age. I say give them match time in u23s We seem to be wasting Buckley who is a huge talent but needs game time so he can step up when needed ( and he will this season) and be a strong squad member ( same for Davenport and Dolan) -

I would bet that the Rhodes of 2013 would score at least 30 goals a season in this team assuming that TM didnt pop him on the wing for his heading ability??
