The fact we're having this debate speaks volumes! I was too young to remember Jim Iley, so for me it's Ince. But, hold my beer........

Just messaged my daughter to see if she was going or if she's working. She's working, so decision made, heating on & watching it on TV on the warm. Balls to it. Not dragging my arse down there in this for another likely abandonment.

Shirt's just arrived, quality is excellent, very pleased! 🤩. Will be perfect for those colder days at Ewood or down the pub. Could probably have got away with a large, but better to have it on the bigger side than too tight with my 'Dad Bod' Thanks to all involved. Edit: Forgot to add, nice touch with the photos sent with it. 🫡

According to Wikipedia (I know!) It was against Saturday's opponents in Feb 1947:

Holly Tree chippy just near the Tesco on Livesey Branch. It's got me wanting one now! 😆 This will get your chops watering:

Just don't get walloped at OT! 😅

I said to my stepson yesterday that he probably still had his boxes in the boot of the car just waiting on the phonecall to go back again.

Just ordered mine - after the shit show yesterday I needed something to cheer myself up! Did a check on all my favourite 'best fitting' polo shirts & they all measure 22" across so ordered the XL. Just hope @Herbie6590 hasn't got a dodgy tape measure! 🤞😅

It's actually essentially £30 with a £10 charge per name. I looked at the 2 & 3 name options for myself and my daughter and then thought about my Dad as well, they're both £50 & £60 respectively! FOV

Unlucky fellas, those questions were really tough & as said above, the lads from Bolton were superb. Done as all proud there. But...... Luca Toni? 🤦‍♂️😄. I did have a bit of a chuckle at that with the amount of times he gets a mention on here.

Anyone else slightly disappointed that AK hasn't kept the No 47 shirt? I actually quite liked the play on that, as tacky as it might've been.

Found a dodgy stream of the game on something called 'Sport TV 5'. Great, I thought, the coverage has just started & the commentary is in Russian or something! 🤣. Edit: just googled it & it's a Portuguese channel, so I was well off! 😅

I think they really need to clarify if this is matchdays only as if it's not, it's a disgrace. I also thought this bit in the email summed up the idiots who work at Rovers, does anyone actually think before they type anything!: Do they not think that those who don't use a smartphone are probably those who are older and/or not tech tech savvy and probably don't use the internet much anyway!? As an example, my 78yo mum does have a smartphone, does use the internet, FB etc yet isn't confident with anything online which involves money or booking things. If she's going anywhere by train she'll always ask me to book it for her. Absolute muppets.

Reminds me of this 🤣

Ok, I have some ITK knowledge for once. I was talking to a guy in the pub last night & he told me that we've signed a new goalkeeper. Ooh I thought, is Calamity on his way out? Possibly not, it's this bloke's grandson & he's only 7, but hey, it's a signing right, & "he can't be any worse than Pears" !? 😁 (Apologies if anyone got excited with my opening gambit, but tbf this guy reeled me in with it, so it's only fair to share! 😄)

Wow, this has totally shocked me. RIP Diogo.

Ok, I'll join in just before the draw. I'll go Huddersfield away.

Is this guy Big Val's illicit son or something? My god, I thought it was a wind up at first when I looked at him! Edit: added pic of a younger VI.

The bit that's Obscured By Clouds. 😉

Ok then 1 with a further year option in our favour. 🤣

Great effort chaps, well done. I find it odd that, of the ones I've seen, the teams are quite young. Most won't remember anything before the Prem - as you proved, you can't beat a bit of experience! (Are you listening Suhail!? 😄)

Found another pic. Before my time (I was only 2 at the time!), who's the Rovers player in this shot?

Actually didn't realise he played his last ever game at Ewood. Had a quick mooch around & found this: https://www.facebook.com/groups/844940199360108/posts/2023494194838030/?_rdr

& yet they were creaming themselves 3 years ago! Just get out of our club!
