Can't blame him for that. Not sure about the second.

Depends on if you know the person or not. I remember our encounter at Turf Moor after we had been relegated in 1999. Dunney was nearly taken out by a rash sliding tackle. Rovers fans were going apoplectic about it but I seem to remember that days later Dunney said that some of the Burnley players were his mates and it was all good fun.

I used to love the old way where we presumed amateur refs were in it for the love of the game and refereed to the best of their ability and completely unbiased. Of course they made mistakes but these were the talking points in the pubs for the rest of the week. I would love us to have a Brian Clough type manager whose players would accept the ref's decision regardless and never, ever argue and complain. 1, Not sure. I hope so. 2 Yes 3 Less

I agree but not their strikers.

Except they've no punch up front.

Morocco have amazed me. I wish Rovers could play like that. France 2-0 now.

😂 What hilarity! Gav said that to me back in January this year. Then someone accused me of wanting Rovers to fail. Dear oh dear. We can all see that JDT has Rovers playing shite football and it looks like he won't change it. Losing 10 games before Xmas indicates we will definitely not finish in the top 6.

I'm only quoting Sam Allardyce

We'll concede through playing tippy-tappy, fanny flicking football in our own penalty area. You watch.

He came on as a second half sub at Camp Nou when I was there and he wasn't up to my expectation. The player who looked absolutely world class to me in that game was No3 Pique(?spelling) Opponents were Athletic Bilbao

Haven't seen the Racing club v Celtic game but the battle of Santiago was far, far worse than Nederland v Portugal. I remember players doing "sliding tackles" at waist height.

I wish I had ordered one or two of these retro long-sleeved shirts. I say two because my grandson would love one as well. Hope we can order again soon, Herbie, hey?

Whenever I did that it went Beamo-style over the crossbar.

Thanks, Chaddy, for all the updates. I presume we won 3-0

Disagree with all the negativity. USA are a pretty good side. Hell most of them play in England anyway. Because we play against players from the same league, I fear that we may bomb against Wales. Rather play against total foreigners with foreign styles.

Good game of intelligent football from both sides. USA were the better side for 60 minutes but after our subs we upped our game. 0-0 a fair result. Moreover, no histrionics, no rolling over and over, no diving, no cheating, no play-acting. No yellow cards. Easy game for a good ref. I'll take that.

I was standing on the side where N Korea were playing from my left to right in the first half. When they scored their third, a man near me said in a thick Scouse accent, "This is ridiculous". If Eusebio hadn't been playing, Portugal may never have got back into the game. As it was they scored two before half time. I forget how many goals Eusebio scored; 2 or maybe 3?

And North Korea going 3-0 up against Eusebio's Portugal at Goodison Park. I know they eventually lost 5-3 but I was there and we couldn't believe that early 3-0.

Nothing to do with corruption in this case. These stupid VAR decisions are given in the Prem most weeks. VAR was NOT introduced for these type of cases.😡

You mentioned that you would be happy to lose every game from now on to PNE as long as Rovers beat Burnley in March. Well I'm Preston born and bred but Rovers have been my club since I was 7 or 8 and that comment is incredulous to me. Imagine if I said we can lose every game to Burnley from now on as long as we beat North End the next game. Meh! We really MUST beat the nobbers, just for my sake. But if JDT keeps us playing the same way I'm afraid we'll lose. JDT has to change the style for this game.

Andy Carroll? Just looked him up on Wiki. No thanks. We don't want HIM.

I know the Qatar game tomorrow is on BBC One, KO 4pm but is there an opening ceremony? If so what time does it start?

If we have the same manager we will be. JDT out!

JDT won't allow them to express themselves so it would make no difference. The whole shitshow at Burnley was ENTIRELY due to the manager. Never thought I'd say it this early but I've had enough of him and his stupid ideas.

Raya left Rovers because we were treading water under Mowbray and Brentford were a well-run club who seemed to be on the up and have proved that to be correct since. Good luck to David. I hope he does well. Walton is 1st choice at Ipswich who are in the top two of League 1. He must be playing better than when he was with us.
