Don't want to dwell on the Broad thing again really, but I think because it was such an obvious decision, it makes a ridicule of the game for him to stand there waiting to be given out. I've seen players stand their ground for less obvious wickets and rightly so, as there might of been the slightest knick (such as Haddin) or not sure if the ball carried for a catch etc.

Anyway, today was an enthrawling game. England on the ropes, then fight back, then lose a few wickets at the end to slightly favour Australia. Great stuff.

Nate, just a quick q: what does 'bogan' mean?

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.

I'm expecing (hoping) we bat alot better at Lord's. Cook is due a big score and Trott had a rough decision at Nottingham and will surely make amends. Compton would give top order more solidity too. Finn continues to disappoint and either Onions or Bresnan brought in.

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.

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.

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.

Some of the Aussie rage against Broad on other forums is quite hilarious. Honestly, if Steve Waugh had done the same thing they'd be praising his hard-nosed attitude and laughing at all the English rage

That's crap. With a decision that was so obvious, not even an Australian would defend one of our own doing the same.

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.

Anybody been to the restaurant at Northcote Manor?

Went to see The Kings Speech. Was great! Had my attention from start to finish.

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.

I'm always surprised Batigol never played for Perth, considering he lived there.

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?

As somebody said the other day on the BBC, take away Torres and Gerrard and you have Blackburn. Bit harsh on us I think!

A thing of beauty...and NOT the shocking new Partick Thistle strip.

Top of the table.

Deep joy.

A St Pauli rip-off

Same reason greedy Kewell is going there!

I don't think Kewell going there is all about the cash.

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?

At the very end of the credits there's a scrambled message you can hear that says "it's still alive"

So it would appear a sequel would be on it's way.I hope not though.I think im the only persn in the world that loved The Blair Witch Project and the Sequel was just terrible.I think a second Cloverfield will ruin it.

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!

Jay is telling his story (again)

He must be really upset about his behaviour earlier, too bad he didn't understand that at the time, we might've had a home grown first-class defender on our hands.

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.

Just say nose!!!

Sorry. Couldn't help it!

I'll be in England end of December. Can't wait to see what Rovers games are on!

please do not mention VIDUKA and ROVERS in the same sentence,if you think macarthy is lazy,you ain't seen anything till you watch VIDUKA.

as for BENIDICT,he has scored goals,proved his worth and now wants to move on.CHELSKI paid 30 odd million for shevchenko,so 15 million for benny is possible.very few footballers are loyal and we as fans must relise this,

thanks benny

Viduka would be great for Rovers, even thought it won't happen. I'd rather him than Nonda.
