If they announced Ainsworth or Damien Johnson I would be extremely relieved. The Adkins and Pardews of this world I do not want.

Get your application in. You'll probably be interviewed in early July.

Lovely video. That's how football should be played. 1977. Nice to see Noddy again. What a lovely man! Regarding the pitch invasion and crossbar breaking, the commentators said the fences hadn't gone up yet. The football hooligans of the 1970s and 80s are mainly responsible for the Hillsborough tragedy. Everyone who engaged in that sort of behaviour has blood on their hands. The cages and fences were erected because of this behaviour. Had there been no cages and fences at Hillsborough no-one would have died. Thank goodness there weren't any at Bradford in 1985.

The best team won.

Yeah. I think Huddersfield will do it too.

If Balaji's son is coming to replace Pasha, to me that will be a good thing. I understand he follows football like the rest of us........Good He has been trained in poultry farming. The chicken breeders of Britain should be crapping themselves more than us Rovers supporters. Someone commented he looked old on the photo. Someone else said they don't want a "kid" running Blackburn Rovers. Anyone who has graduated from university is a young adult and certainly not a kid. Glen Mullan knows him and speaks highly of him. Surely if he comes to Blackburn to represent his family ownership and has a bit of business nous and wants the club to do well it's got to be good news for us supporters. Finally, the proof of the pudding....etc would be if he gets hit by a snowball, gathers some snow and throws one back in the spirit of things, then he'll do for me.

Exactly my point, Mr Shoelaces.

I suggest you read all the history books on Blackburn Rovers. However, I'll accept that the modern day supporter is happy for our team to wear shirts divided into 4 halves.

He does more step-overs than Dolan.

Hell, Chaddy. It looks like the NHS set up. (or DVLA) (or passport office etc. etc.)

What stupid rules!

Not getting at you GHR personally but just responding to all those who are aggrieved that Rovers have never been to the new Wembley.

Uncle Jack specifically asked us not to invade the pitch. He, through the club, requested that no fan ever run onto the pitch. There was only one knobhead who disobeyed that request. The rest of us had so much respect for our beloved club at that time.

Uncle Jack's expression.💪

All these posts complaining that we haven't been to the new Wembley amaze me. Would you have preferred us to have visited the new Wembley for a play-off final instead of getting automatic promotion from League One just to tick a box? We may have lost there as well. I'd like to see our visit there for an FA Cup final or League Cup final.

A proper blue and white quarters please.

Yes. Me! I know. Still rubs me up the wrong way.🙃

I shall follow Hibs with interest. I like Lee Johnson. I don't know why Bristol City sacked him.

I think Rangers are going to lose it. Hope not.

Lager beers have to be served very cold. British beer needs to be cold but not too cold otherwise the taste is lost. Two different types of beer. American? I love Shipyard.

I remember Third Lanark, another interesting name.

I see "The Blue Brazil" got relegated out of the Scottish League proper for (I think) the first time in my lifetime. As a child I was always fascinated by the fixture Cowdenbeath v Stenhousemuir; strange names to me.

Wish I could see the team sheets. Great to watch. Thanks, Speeeeedie.

If Forest get through it should be a cracking final. Well done Jordan Rhodes.

I think the whole thing, year on year, is just not my scene. However, I sat with my better half and watched the whole show up to halfway through the judges voting. Firstly, the three presenters are not a patch on most British presenters; no polish, no finesse. Secondly, Graham Norton is a pain in the proverbial. I've never liked him, never will. He often overspoke what us viewers were listening to. Thirdly, I thought this was a song contest and not a dance contest or a "who can perform best under the most flashing lights" contest. I feel sorry for those who become affected when lights are flashing. Fourthly, I thought Spain's entry was awful and Australia.........words fail me. Fifthly, when Iceland were about to give their 12 points we both shouted "Sweden!" Ditto with Cyprus........"Greece!". (Cyprus vote for Greece every year regardless of the quality) Finally, my favourite songs were Portugal, Poland, Switzerland, Azerbaijan, Armenia and Lithuania. I was most entertained by Moldova. I
