In the original song the blues referred to heartbreak. But to Rovers' fans "blues" meant the team (even though our shirts are half white).

Hmmm. Sammie Szmodics Downes. Sounds like chalk hills in Sussex. Not as bad as Dewsbury Hall though. That sounds like a western region railway engine. I think we'll stick with SS

Yeah. I wonder what Sammie's mum's maiden name is. Can we give him a two named surname?

Top. One more than Mr Armstrong.

If you ring the club you won't get to talk to a human being. Instead you'll be speaking to Artificial Dunces.

Wonderful expression! Never heard it before.😂

Thanks for that. Don't know why it wasn't available on Rovers site for me before.

I've re-registered and can get in but I still can't find Rovers v PNE full game to watch. I've been trying for 2 weeks. Do they take games off after a while? I'm getting seriously pi**ed off with Rovers.

These comments are for the "We did warn you" place.

Chuck Connors was Rifleman. I used to watch "Riverboat" with Darren McGavin but only for the theme tune which I thought was brilliant.

On the contrary, I want to watch our boys and how each played over the 90 odd minutes. I also want to see how North End played. My dad used to go to Deepdale sometimes so he could hold his own in any discussion about Rovers and North End.

I still cannot watch the PNE full game.

I still cannot watch the full game v PNE. We need competence at Ewood. Jack would have sacked the lot.

Why don't you email Swag. After all the buck stops with him. And me? I can't be arsed.

When people think of competent managers they think of Warnock, Hodgson, Steve Cooper, etc. But I reckon Lee Johnson is another one. When he was at Bristol City I always fancied him coming to the Rovers. He seemed to do a good job there. Now watch Fleetwood Town climb up the league. He seems to be a chap with no airs and graces. He isn't a bighead like Mourinho. I think he's just a good manager who enjoys a challenge. If and when JDT leaves us we could do worse than appoint him.

Whoever "organises" Rovers TV needs sacking and replacing with a competent human or efficient AI. I want to watch the full match v PNE. I find the video, it tells me to log in, I log in, screen says "You are logged in", I select match replay, it says I must log in, I log in, screen says "You are logged in, I select match replay, it says I must log in.........................................ad infinitum.🤬 I'm beginning to get really, really pissed off with all that is Rovers.

I see Craig Short is caretaker manager of Oxford Utd since Liam Manning left them to join Bristol City. Doubt if he'll get the permanent job.

I don't know, Dave. I'm missing you blokes too. It won't be versus PNE unfortunately. Circumstances beyond my control.

Yes. I've just found out the sad news. Alan (Birdy) Birkbeck has died aged 74. When we were in the Prem we used to go to the Aqueduct pub after games into the tap room and that's how we got to know Birdy and his wife. R.I.P. Birdy; Rovers' famous supporter.

In that clip we were in red. Ignore that Tyrone. I understand what you mean now. I must be getting old.

Blue shirts with white sleeves was Cardiff City in those days. May also have been Ipswich Town. I wish I could show this clip to Eamonn's son. He'd love it. How can I save it for posterity?

I used to be able to do that. Can't anymore. Lip muscles have gone.

I thought tackles from behind weren't allowed any more.

No. Not a cat in hell's chance of having it rescinded.

Tronstad gets his work done quietly but efficiently and without fuss. Good player.
