Dougan and the 1960 Cup Final ....
bazza replied to sympatheticclaret's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Steve Kean was a football coach who was promoted above his station at the time and did his best. But Rovers were a basket case of a club under new, stupid, ill-advised, lunatic, naive (etc.) owners. You cannot compare Kean to the most hated and despised Rovers player ever to wear the shirt. Derek Dougan was a great footballer, bought from Portsmouth, a wonderful centre forward. We fans loved him. Because of his unorthodox hair style he was called "Cheyenne". What he did before the final and during the final was far worse than anything Kean did. I cannot find words to describe my feelings towards Dougan. That's probably the best because we really should not speak ill of the dead. -
BRFC - The Nostalgia Thread
bazza replied to Herbie6590's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
I was living and working in the newly named Zimbabwe. My son and I had to rely on one column on the back page of the Sunday newspaper which had the British football results and league tables. We were amazed and delighted to find out Chesterfield 0 Rovers 1 and the other one Colchester Utd 0 Rovers 1. The last day of one season we couldn't understand why Bradford City v Lincoln City had been abandoned. We heard nothing of the fire. My mate in Clitheroe used to cut out all the match reports and other news about Rovers and every 6 weeks or so he would post them to me for hours of reading over and over again. I wrote a letter to the LET about this and about the Rovers. I even voted Glen Keeley player of the year. It got published. A few days after, there was a cartoon in the LET which showed a bill board with "Rovers supporter in Rhodesia votes Keeley player of the year" written on it. Underneath was written, "He must have had a good pair of binoculars". -

Blackburn Rovers vs Brentford, Friday, March 12.

Brentford FC have spent a few years organising a way of running a club, scouting for the right type of player, playing a certain way and choosing the right managers to do this. And it showed tonight how far they have come in the last 5 years with this plan. They were unlucky not to win promotion last season. Suspect they will finally achieve their goal this year. Good luck to them if they do. I wish BRFC were structured similar. -

You never saw Herold Goulon, then. -

That was a definite penalty. Dack took control of the ball and Raya fouled him from behind. -

Camera people need shooting -
Yes. I get fed up with their constant inane chatter. Also the camera people keep showing 3 replays of some previous action whilst the restarted game continues out of our sight. So frustrating. I paused the game for 7 minutes in the 1st half and continued to watch it to half time ok. At that point I clicked the red "Live game" icon and caught up to real time. Easy! The sound was in synchro with the picture so that was ok as well.

Swansea 9th March at Home

Chris Brown? -
Not about pausing but..... I often mute it when one team or the other look like getting a goal scoring chance. The commentary is a split second ahead of the picture. I hate it when a Rovers player shoots and the commentators say it's gone wide when I'm still hoping for a goal.

He may not be a nasty bastard on the field but he needs a skin twice as thick as a rhinoceros to withstand all that's said about him on social media. Why does a footballer need to be a nasty b.....? I think Travis is trying to be one and gets himself and the team into trouble for it.

I'd love to see Rotherham escape relegation at the expense of "big club".

Tony wouldn't trust Harrison Reed to play against a top team either.

Other football league 2020/21 season

I agree with that, Chaddy. -
Who? Tomasewski or Peter Bonetti? The first was to Brian Clough. The second was to me.

My team, a 4-1-3-2 Pears Nyambe Lenihan Kaminski Downing Rothwell Elliott Dack Brereton Branthwaite Harwood-Bellis Millwall will be like rabbits in the headlights. They won't know what hit them.

One sandwich short of a picnic?

Come from Everton. I wonder if Branthwaite saw what was taking place and complained to TM that it wasn't good enough and not what they do at Everton.

Or this ownership.

Let's beat Doncaster to getting the Cowley Bros signed up.

Sounds like Wednesday were pushing for a winner and Rotherham broke away from a Wednesday corner and scored. -

bazza replied to Hoochie Bloochie Mama's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
That's what makes me so depressed. Venkys haven't a clue how to structure a football club properly after they destroyed the structure under John Williams. Even Blackpool have turned the corner owner-wise. We may finish up worse than Notts County. -

We only look threatening on the counter? Eleven tortoises would get up the pitch faster than us. -

Still +7. Unbelievable. That goal difference may just save us from relegation. -
