Iron Maiden - Number Of The Beast

New Order - True Faith

Chicane ft Bryan Adams - Don't Give Up

I like that & think that formation suits our squad best. Gives us options to change things about with subs too. Ie Elliot & Dolan for Rothwell & Brereton, Gally for Arma if he needs a break or we want to go more direct. Holtby or Downing could come in for Dacky if need be, Johnson or Trybull for Trav or Davenport etc. It's just the defence that worries me (no change there then!), we literally have no options atm, other than Douglas for Bell. 🤦‍♂️

Rob 'n' Raz ft Leila K - Got To Get

Thanks Herbie & a big thanks to all those who keep the site going. Happy New Year to one & all. Let's be honest 2021, hasn't got much competition to be better than it's predecessor! All the best. 🍻🥂🍾

This is actually quite an important factor in all this. Particularly IMO when it comes to FB groups & the like. A lot of these are likely to be the younger generation who haven't really known anything other than the Venkys era. As a good example, although I'd tried over the years to explain to my daughter all about who Jack Walker was & what he did for Rovers, it was only probably 12 months ago, having been watching Rovers for 7 or 8 years, when she started to ask questions about him. Ie taking an interest, rather than it just being white noise coming from her father's mouth! She is now 15. To also put this into context, as she wants to be a firefighter, I put on a documentary about the firefighters involved in 9:11. I then had to tell her all about 9:11 as she had no idea about it. To a lot of us, these events were 5mins ago, yet there is a whole generation who this is new to. It might take some time, but I think us older ones may need to educate the younger generation that we are Blackburn Rovers! And we expect/demand better for our club.

Seems to be a big change in the fanbase on the back of last night's game. Even the usual suspects aren't even defending him. Even Tony's not been on here, (sorry, I mean mashed tatty) telling us how great he is. Players are regressing once again, he appears to be coaching the life out if them. Holtby is a good example, he looked Tugayesque a couple of months ago, now every pass is either sideways or backwards. He doesn't become a bad player overnight & he's certainly not the only one. There even appears to be a change in Elliot over the last few games which I'm sure will not please a certain German on Merseyside. I wanted him out last season, but this time I'm reaching boiling point with it. Oh to have Jack back in his office just for 10 mins! Feck off now Tony whilst you still have some goodwill before you end up being mentioned in the same breath as those who should not be mentioned! At the moment he's a bit like a fart in a car that just won't go cos it's got into the upholstery & everything!

Time to go Tony. As it was last season around this time. Any half decent manager should be able to get a tune out if this squad (once he's signed a couple of defenders!) I honestly don't know wtf is going through his mind with tactics & substitutions!

I get that it may be an EFL decision, but why do I have to wait until next season for my money back? Why can't a just pay for it & then send the receipt to the club for a refund, say, within 28 days? It's a rhetorical question by the way. I know the answer & to me, it's not right! 😤

Thanks for the heads up. Would probably only have noticed any issue 10 mins before KO resulting in me running round like an idiot trying to sort it! 👍 I wonder how many will forget to submit their receipt?

China Crisis - Black Man Ray (Very apt band name!)

Paul Young - Come Back & Stay

That's quite impressive - delivering it 2 months before you ordered it! I'd ring the club shop up & see if they can help. If they've dispatched it, they'll probably need to chase up with Royal Mail

Abba - Gimme! Gimme! Gimmie (A Man After Midnight)

Merry Christmas to Rovers everywhere. Keep well & here's hoping for a much improved 2021 both on & off the field - for once I'm hoping primarily off the field!

As it's Christmas Eve: Leona Lewis - One More Sleep Merry Christmas one & all. Like Riversider, I came across this thread during lockdown & love it. As I've mentioned before, I also like to play a game with myself whereby I try not to use a song I've used before - it's starting to get a bit tough now! All the best.

Watched this one last week. Thought it was excellent & very in depth. Certainly didn't try to sugar coat all the police failings. There's another one on Discovery+ (free for 12mths for Sky VIP members) about Saville. Not as good or in depth as the Ripper one, but gives an interesting insight about how he was literally 'hiding in plain sight' for years & got away with it.
