All Prem clubs complaining of the same thing. Far too many injuries.

Bring it on. One other thing. I'm beginning to criticise JDT. Regardless of a small squad and no money to sign strikers, he hasn't got a clue as to change or manage a game or personnel for that matter. When players are knackered, get them off the pitch and give some teenagers a chance with fresh legs. Reorganise the defence. Reorganise the formation. Change the way we play. Swap wingers etc. etc. Unfortunately JDT doesn't seem to be able to do this. I still blame owners and Waggot for a lot but JDT is coming across as rather incompetent, game after game.

The club's a fucking shambles. VENKYS OUT

I was just thinking that we old codgers keep reminiscing about things from long ago and I wonder what the younger fans think. I know what I would have thought if social media had existed in the early 1960s and people had been on there raving about Harry Healless and Sid Puddefoot etc. Then some old fogey comes on and says. "Ah, but did you see Eddie Latheron" blah de blah. I would have loved it.

Nothing new for poor old Rovers. Ken Furphy went to Sheff Utd taking Tony Field. Earlier Johnny Carey went to Everton and took Roy Vernon. Such is football. It was just the nastiness of Westwood and the money that bugged me.

You're not as old as me, Dee Cee. I remember their chairman, Lord Westwood. who was also on the committee of the Football League. We had some problem with Glen Keeley coming to us and them stealing our manager, Gordon Lee. Bad blood between the clubs and I, for one, will never forget it. Much prefer the black cats.

I wouldn't bother. Buy a Burnley shirt with the name "Waggot" on the back.

I thought they could do better than that. Oh well. Higher up the league for us.

On Tuesday12th Dec I bought a £10 pass to watch the Bristol City game. I watched the first half on a small screen. It would not go to full screen. At half time I looked for other information on the site. After half time I could not get back to the match, faffing around. Eventually I managed to rejoin it just after Scotty had scored. I complained bitterly and explained I use Safari browser. Their reply told me to use another browser. I refuse to do so. Why can't they sort out their site to make it compatible with Safari? I have no issues with other sites when using it. Shocking from Rovers. They really are turning me away from the club.

Can't find Finneran in the youth squads on Rovers' site.

I note that one of your posters is 22A. That was the LMS region shed in Bristol in my early days of train spotting. It was changed to 82E Bristol (Barrow Road). One of the 9 jubilees I never saw was shedded there, 45690 Leander. Say hello to him from me. He must be a similar age.............bloody old.

I said not many would agree. But he has taken over a team in dire straits. I thought he did an excellent job at Bristol City.

I know lots on this board will disagree with me but, if JDT were to leave us, I would want Lee Johnson from Fleetwood Town. I have always liked the way his teams have played and I like the way he talks about football. I think he could do a good job for us under the circumstances. Having said that, I forgot for a moment that our owners couldn't care less. Down to Earth with a bang!

And Paul Gallagher takes temporary charge.

Superb.

Den, have you ever read "Puckoon" by Spike Milligan? If not I recommend it. There's an Irish wake described in the book.

Travis......5 million? Our captain is worth at least double that.

I remember waiting for the coach near the level crossing at Bamber Bridge to take us to Wembley in 1987. Two massive trains came past from Blackburn pulled by diesel locomotives. They were each at least ten carriages long. They were packed with Rovers supporters. Oh the good old days.

Brilliant interview/podcast. I thoroughly enjoyed that. Thanks.

I wish I could "like" this more than once.

Les Chats Noir 😜

I think we'll get absolutely tonked. 1-4

I'm going to get in before Mike Delap. I can't think of many who played for both clubs. Albert Nightingale and David Batty. Not sure if Jason Wilcox also went there. Duncan McKenzie?

Two different types of football. I never said that the women could beat the men. I said I preferred to watch the England women than the Wigan men. That is rubbish. Why have you turned into a WUM?

Bit of a daft question, Rigger. England v Netherlands was lovely flowing football. York v Wigan was a very scrappy game not enjoyable to watch.
