Correct - top of the class mate!

Spot on Jim. I posted similar about that sitter as you were posting.

Kilgallon wasn't a bad centre half to be fair. Taylor- ginger haired winger, remember him scoring in an FA cup game, not much else. Delfouneso - pretty shite. Lives down the road from me, likes chips & gravy. Think he's still at Blackpool. Lawrence - still waiting for that shot to come down against the dingles. Hendrie, loan from WHU. Hardly played. Hart - If you just use his first initial, his name looks like a follow-through. 🤣

Nope. Not him, although, when I googled him, ironically, one of the first pics that comes up is this one with Big Col. Sadly passed away in 2011 aged only 44. I'll reveal the other guy's name tomorrow if no-one gets it.

Superb performance tonight. I am one happy Rover! Were Watford that bad, or did we stop them playing ? I always think that's a good debate to have, as I think sometimes we don't give our lads enough credit when it's due. We didn't give them a moment's peace to get on the ball. Anyone bar TK could lay a fair claim for MoM ( & he just had nowt to do really), but for me I'd give it Dolan with Hedges a very close second. Well done lads, a thoroughly enjoyable evening! 💙🤍

On the back of this topic, I've just been going through old squads (particularly from '83 onwards when I first started going to Ewood) to see how many blasts from the past I remembered. I then came across one name which I remembered but could think nothing else about him, other than him being a full-back. Only made 6 appearances, so unsurprising I don't remember much. Can you name him:

Superb news. Good to see things seem to be improving on the contracts front.

What an absolute w*nker! It wouldn't surprise me if he also had a hand in Lenihan et al deciding not to sign new deals.

One of those "you'll remember where u were" moments. At a loss for words really - a truly remarkable woman. Many you rest in peace with your beloved husband - you've certainly earned it. 🖤

Oh, please! Enough of these dentistry puns, it was bad enough in the transfer thread. I'm sick to the back teeth of them!😜

Anybody got a link to these comments from JDT, I don't recall seeing/hearing them? Thanks in advance.

Wasn't sure where to put this, but it's absolutely disgraceful. If found guilty (which seems highly likely) I hope he goes down for it & never gets to play football anywhere ever again. https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11095/12690790/hallam-hope-oldham-player-left-seriously-injured-by-vicious-assault-outside-boundary-park

I'd like to think we could beat Bristol Rovers quite easily, Bristol City on the other hand....😊

I usually read through all the posts before replying, so apologies if this has been covered. Great post Glen!! On BBD, the guy obviously doesn't want to leave. He soooo overdid the 'Rovers' in his interview last night it was ridiculous. Window closed, sit down with him, talk to him & his agents & sort something out which is mutually acceptable to all parties.

Wow, that's just taken some catching up - been on a work Teams call for just nearly 2hrs! Don't know much about this Mola guy but on the face of it, looks quite promising & I'm loving the fact that nobody seems to know anything until the signing is done & the media team are doing their bit for the official announcement. Add Dembele to this (hopefully) & I think we've had a pretty good window to be honest.

Out injured, on the bench or rested? Out of the starting 11 makes sense with Hyam coming in as there's no way he'll last playing twice a week but I'd be having him on the bench just in case. That is assuming you don't mean out injured.

Agreed, it's like he was missing out on a kick about down the local park with his 7 year old! Anyway, there's a thread for TM discussion. I made my thoughts clear before on the Barkley rumour, as much as I'd love it to be true. Hirst, I'm very open minded about. Don't Know much about him, good season in Lg1, good pedigree (yes I'm too old), good age, not much risk if he's shite - I can get behind that. Styles - I hope @glen9mullan might be right & we're back in for him. I have a funny feeling someone left field will land from nowhere who will take us all by surprise, hopefully on the pitch as well as initially. Whoever comes in, once they pull on those famous blue & white halves (or navy blue, or a funny pinky shade of red I think they call 'coral' 😄) they'll have my full support. JDT's bus is coming, and every body's running.....

I reckon there's a guy from the bank turning up at the STC tomorrow. Someone overheard "don't forget, the guy from Barclays is coming tomorrow" whilst reading up on this morning's footy news. Reads that Ross Barkley has been released, puts 2+2 together & gets 27!

Absolutely correct. I know a guy who works as a video scout for Villa (having previously been with 'that' lot - I won't hold it against him as his allegiance is with Liverpool) He literally spends all day watching football videos with the occasional trip out if there's a game of interest locally (ie Ewood, PNE, etc). It's amazing talking to him, how much he knows about players I haven't even heard of. He'll then recommend the ones to watch etc, including academy lads, and he's part of a team of about half a dozen. I got talking to him about Ash Philips a couple of months ago & he said they'd been watching him for over 12 months and they certainly weren't the only ones.

I'm just buzzing that I beat Chaddy to it tbh! 😅 But yeah, doesn't look great does it?

My bad - corrected now. (before 100 others point out the same thing) - I couldn't read properly for the shock of the fee! 😆

Bloody hell! Just seen that Wolves have agreed to sell Morgan Gibbs-White to Forest for £44.5m!!! He looked a decent player when I've seen him, but £44.5m!? That's insane.

🤣 He's corrected it now along with the snippet on the SSN Transfer page. I especially liked this comment - fair play to you if it's someone on here:

I must've been imagining it when he played against Hartlepool & West Brom then!
