  1. Haha, sorry. Clash of cultures here. Yeah, basically a chav. But when it comes to sporting pursuits, they are just biased beyond belief and their favourite pursuit is the "Aussie, Aussie, Aussie, Oi, Oi, Oi" chant.
  2. I think you will see a better overall performance from England. I'm surprised how much an impact Lehmann has had on the Australian team. I really do think that under Arthur we would of lost that earlier.
  3. Great game. Not one for my nerves though. My future father-in-law, normally a gloating, cricket loving Yorkshireman, sent me a message telling me how relieved he was. I think they didn't expect such a close game. In saying that, England had the superiority throughout the whole match. As for my comment in regards to pg's statement, I just think that with such an obvious edge not many Australian's would defend their player in doing so. I'm not including those bogan "fanatics" or whatever they're called. I'd like to think that the majority of Australian's would applaude what Gilchrist did, especially after we always get lectured from the motherland about sportsmanship.
  4. That looked like one relieved team. Hopefully this gives Clarke and and some of the other top order batsmen a kick up the bum, as they're not performing.
  5. That's crap. With a decision that was so obvious, not even an Australian would defend one of our own doing the same.
  6. I've been following Rovers, from afar, since 1988. The start of my infatuation with Rovers is nothing inspiring, or even interesting. I was ten years old at the time and had just played a game for my school team, St. Bernadine's against Blackstone Utd; a game we ultimately lost to fierce rivals. As we pulled up home in my mother’s old Datsun 120Y, I opened the glove box. Inside the glove box were some fixtures for games that had already been played. They were left there by my late grandfather who liked a bit of a bet on the football pools. The one fixture that stood out was a game involving Blackburn. My grandfather had circled them for a win. So just on a whim, I started following them. To do that in Australia at the time was nigh on impossible. The only way I could was in Monday's newspaper with all the results and tables from the UK, also another newspaper publication called British Soccer Weekly or something. So with the advent of the EPL, Internet and Pay-TV in Australia a few years later, following Rovers was made a lot easier. I have only made the trip to Ewood once, in 2000 when we played Wolves at home with Kidd in charge. I think it ended 1-1 with a Dunn penalty being saved after Kevin Muscat saw red for a deliberate handball in the box. Even though Rovers are my major love, I support teams from each of the leagues around Europe. I just love football that much. I have a soft spot for Millwall, as the first ever game of football I had ever seen involved Millwall, also I lived near the area for a bit. But that's another story. I've been on this board for a while, without being a major contributor. Maybe I should contribute more, but with what's going on at the club at the moment...well, you know.

    RIP. illegitimate of a disease. My father had it and passed.
  8. Anybody been to the restaurant at Northcote Manor?
  9. Went to see The Kings Speech. Was great! Had my attention from start to finish.
  10. I lived in Greenwich and went to The (New) Den on a few occasions. Millwall are a bit like a 'second' team for me. First game of football I ever watched (on the tele) was Millwall v Norwich in 88. They lost 2-3 with a last minute Norwich goal. I was entranced by Cold Blow Lane and the atmosphere there. Weird they took you to London Bridge, as it's just down the road.
  11. I'm always surprised Batigol never played for Perth, considering he lived there.
  12. This is one for the older members. I've met a girl who's father is ex Blade and Chesterfield player, Charlie Bell. He apparently was good friends with ex Rover, Mick Heaton. I know that he died in a car crash, but can't find much info on him. What type of player was he?
  13. As somebody said the other day on the BBC, take away Torres and Gerrard and you have Blackburn. Bit harsh on us I think!
  14. I don't think Kewell going there is all about the cash.
  15. I've just noticed that Cercle are fourth in Belgium. Does anybody know if there is any talent at the club that may interest Rovers?
  16. I like at the end when they relive the past at Coney Island, you see something splash into the river. I thought it was quite well done. Although the character with the camera was annoying as hell. I would of killed him before the monstor!
  17. Interesting. Funny how some players don't realise what they have got until they're in that situation, or have lost it all. I still remember that stellar game against United he had.
  18. Just say nose!!! Sorry. Couldn't help it!
  19. I'll be in England end of December. Can't wait to see what Rovers games are on!
  20. Viduka would be great for Rovers, even thought it won't happen. I'd rather him than Nonda.
