Any time mate.

Superb! Great to see some proper work being done behind the scenes and sorting it before the horse has bolted.

Love it! All ordered - getting my money's worth on the size! 😅 It'll make a nice accompaniment for my 1975 centenary shirt (which was also the year I was born)

Just been to pick up my DJ stuff from the Gables in Leyland & the pub was packed with Sheff Utd fans on their way to Nobbers. Really pissed me off when they started singing about Adel Whatshisname for some reason. Anyway, really hope we give these lot a bloody nose today. Hate their manager & his shithouse tactics. Don't think we'll quite do that. First draw of the season, 2-2. Ayala & Diaz for us.

Ref for this one is Josh Smith. Don't know much about him, but in 5 Championship games this season (incl West Brom v Brum yesterday) & 1 game in League 1, he's issued 27 yellows & 2 reds. Doesn't seem like the type to let things go looking at those numbers so there very well could be a red in this one. Just hope it's not us!

Just came across this article about Dom's goal in the Coventry Telegraph, this copied tweet made me chuckle: @Fraser83Stuart: Cov fans: Why is everyone bothered about Hyam so much, it’s not like he’s Ronaldo!! Dom Hyam: *Hold My Hotpot* https://www.coventrytelegraph.net/sport/football/football-news/outrageous-dom-hyam-goal-makes-25015250

Probably because he's been managing at this level for the last couple of years with Coventry 😉

I've gotta say, one of my favourite moments last night was the 'you're just a shit Ben Foster' chants which were almost instantaneous after Bachmann's 3rd attempt at taking a goal kick without the ball rolling (which it still was, I think the ref just gave up). And then again when he slipped flat on his face desperately trying to stop Choudhury's throw from going into the net - even though it wouldn't have been a goal anyway! 🤣

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.
