Looks like the chap on the end (our right) is wearing his shirt inside-out. -

Reach didn't celebrate his goal against us well enough. I wonder were there any bad vibes behind the scenes. -
Howe and his family don't like living in the north west. That's why they moved back to a warmer climate in Bournemouth. Some people are calling for the return of Hughes. Never! If I were a player in the youth team or under 23s and Hughes came back I would look to leave Rovers a.s.a.p. Hughes had no time for bringing youth through. I'll give Mowbray his due in that he has bloodied many youngsters; far more than any previous Rovers manager. If Mowbray resigned I would look towards Pearson or Cook. This ex-dingle thing is ridiculous. I enjoyed ex-dingles Adam Blacklaw and John Connelly playing for Rovers.

Thanks Mattyblue. I emailed them today, got a lovely sympathetic response, and got the refund. Great stuff!

I was made to pay £10 to watch the game today yet I have a season pass. I'm not happy and I cannot find anyone to complain to.

I wonder if Dolan has recommended him.

You could be right, Renrag. Memory plays tricks. I have been re-reading Harry Berry, "A Century of Soccer" 1975. He lists the youth cup winning team with Pickering at LEFT back, Mike England at right half and Keith Newton at centre half. Griffith; Wells, Pickering; England, Newton, Leech; Ratcliffe, Bradshaw, Jervis, Daly, Mulvey. He then goes on to say that McEvoy was brought to Rovers as an inside forward. I only remember McEvoy as a wing half deputising for Clayton or McGrath and not being very good. When he was put at inside forward alongside Pickering, Douglas, Harrison and Ferguson he became a brilliant goal poacher. But there are other memories of mine that have been questioned of late. E.g. I distinctly remember Bill Holmes chasing a lost cause towards the Darwen End, stopping the ball and putting it back to the penalty spot for Alex Glover(?) to take ages before scoring. The film of this earlier in the Nostalgia thread showed it to be at the Blackburn End. If it was then maybe my dad had taken me into the riverside stand for the game instead of Nuttall Street. It's horrible when you start questioning your own memories.

Please tell me who is the interviewer, the guy who keeps turning round and the Rovers player who chats for a bit. Is it Nicky Marker? -
I hope not. It would be typical Tony if that were to happen. Easy does it. We don't want further long term injuries to him.

Good goal by Chapman. 2-1

A lot of the play has been down our right where Dolan still strikes me as a one trick pony. No end product. Chapman on the left.....not interested IMO. Dack finished copying Tosin in running things from CB. Still he's getting a run out to up his match fitness.

In those days footballers and the fans were very appreciative of a good game. Around 1961 or 62 Spurs came to Ewood and beat us 4-1. There was a large crowd, all Rovers fans (well 95%), who stayed to the end and applauded both teams off the field; what was known as a standing ovation. The only other time I saw this happen was after a 0-0 draw with West Bromwich Albion; a cracking match. -
Kevin Gallacher said Nyambe picked up an injury in the first half. That's why he was taken off.

He's not the first to mess up a good footballing career and he won't be the last. We are all human after all. "There but for the grace of God go I". and all that.
