  1. Yeah, I needed my 4:30 on a Sunday footy fix so watched most of it. As you say it was absolutely mental! Great watch for a neutral though, the game had a bit of everything.
  2. Not sure where you've heard that, but on one episode of Would I Lie To You he stated that he was. The question at the time was about why he once made a Liverpool keyring at school. He was then asked who he supported & said he made the LFC keyring because they didn't have any blue plastic - the story turned out to be true. Edit: found the clip
  3. Actually yes. Utd gave everyone who attended a free hat.
  4. Windy, where's your grammar? She died 3 yrs ago miss!
  5. Now there's another debate - for me, a chip butty would be on normal white sliced bread. Barm all day long though, teacake has currants! Dying to try a John Bull though, sounds superb! I'd always called them potato scallops until I went to school in Blackburn & have called them dabs ever since. Chippy I used to go in also did chip 'barms' with either peas, curry or gravy on them. Just the right amount so they weren't soggy. Absolutely loved ones with curry on, so much so, to this day I always order a small tub of curry & add my own.
  6. Too obvious, it's Daley Blind! It's an open & shut case. But I'm not one to be drawn on speculation. What's Mark Draper up to these days? 🤭
  7. Sad to see Dacky go, but probably best for all parties at this point. As others have said, I wish him nothing but the best for the future & hope that he gets to come back to Ewood for the send off he deserves. Whether or not you agree with the term Legend, one thing is for sure, he's the closest thing to one anyone has been over the last 12 years. Legends don't have to be the best players or win the most trophies. but what they need to have done is give everything for the shirt, have a rapport the fans, shine through the bad times, revel in the good times, and more importantly care. Dacky ticks all these boxes so for me, yeah, you can have that title mate. My all time legend is Garner as that's who I was brought up with, then on to the 'Class of 95', but players like Speedie, Jansen and others of similar standing can all be considered legends in my lifetime. I don't see why Dack can't be as he certainly will be to the younger generation. Thanks for the memories Brad. All the best.
  8. I see from Rovers socials that work has started on the Ewood pitch ready for next season. I'm assuming that Maggot is still looking into funding for a Desso pitch and it's just getting its usual re-seed? Anyone heard anything to the contrary?
  9. Part of my job. Easily sorted. Might cost few quid but hey! Original sound system. Was designed & installed by Romers. I knew the MD. When Jack was still with us it was maintained regularly. Nothing's been done in years. It"s f**kd
  10. I'll be honest mate, you are normally so very eloquent it's untrue so don't worry about it! This is very much spoken from the heart where everything goes out of the window. I'm with u mate ,type first & ask questions later. Never met u, but I reckon me & u could have a good beer together Anyway, we'll win & lose out on goal difference. I'll collect my annual 2 pints bet from my nobend supporting mate, & we'll go again next year.
  11. Just looking at that, you don't realise just how much football has changed in such a short space of time. £25k for winning the 2nd Div title! The same promotion now is worth 100s of millions! Millwall with Sheringham & Cascarino up front - they'd be loan players now from a Prem academy, certainly Sheringham anyway.
  12. After the Rotherham-Boro result, Luton are guaranteed 3rd spot. Let's hope they ease up a little & we can capitalise. COYB
  13. Sky don't want pundits like Souness. Too controversial! Toe the line or you're out. Roy Keane will be the next one out don't know if anyone saw it but, Rio & can't remember who the other guy was, tore jernaine jenas a new one the other night. Great tv, but not the sky way! I know it was BT before anyone corrects me.
  14. Excellent result! I must admit I was crapping it that Leonard would get injured today leaving the 1st team with literally no striker for the last 2 games. Now let's give him more than a 10 min cameo & see if he can carry on his excellent form for the U21s.
  15. Shops in Lidl near me! 🤣 Seriously. I saw him in there a few weeks back.
  16. I must admit that took me a bit by surprise but as my daughter has moved up an age bracket I thought that might be just because she'll need a new card. Didn't realise it was across the board. Booking fees in general (not just Rovers) annoy me. Slogans such as "Tickets start at £20" and when you go to book, there's a booking fee on top. There's absolutely no way to purchase without the fee so tickets don't "start at £20" do they!?
  17. Just a bit of advice to anyone rejected by V12 - as I have posted previously, I was rejected for reasons only V12 seem to know so applied for a 12mth interest free credit card. Went to pay with said card today only to find I couldn't purchase them online. I rang the club & was told that V12 hadn't informed them about finance not being accepted, so the very helpful lady had to manually add them back onto the system so I could buy. All sorted now thankfully. So, if you're going to purchase by other means before the deadline, such as I did, then don't leave it til the last minute & check that they're back on system first. The 7th is a Sunday so the club won't be open.
  18. I think one of them was looking for his mummy cos it was past his bedtime!
  19. Not particularly helpful at this point, but worth bearing in mind for the future: the open training sessions which are usually organised as part of Pre-season are a great opportunity for getting signatures. My daughter went down last summer and got just about everyone of note who was on the books at the time - No Dom Hyam unfortunately. As you can see here TK was running out of space!
  20. I said exactly this to the guy sitting next to me last night. It's got to the point where I don't even bother shouting "man on" anymore as he just seems to know where absolutely everybody is on the pitch! During the WC, I heard Gary Lineker make a comment about Lionel Messi seemingly having an aerial view of the pitch in his head all the time. Now, I'm not comparing AW to Messi (not yet anyway!😜😄) but he does seem to have an element of this kind of spatial awareness going on. I bet a few of us have also gone "who the f*ck is that t....oh, great ball Adam" I just hope we get next season out of him before the vultures swoop as they're already starting to circle. You never know, with promotion we may hang on a bit longer, but I'm not holding my breath.
  21. I just knew it, as soon as I looked to see who was going to be the ref last night. Well, we can now add two footed challenges & handball in the penalty area being ok according to this absolute tosspot's ever growing list of decisions against us! Oh and simulation not being a yellow card as well. Not that I'm totally blaming the ref as we're so toothless up front it's bordering on criminal, but he certainly didn't help.
  22. Here we go, not perfect as it does need tweaking for stairs etc but this took me 5 mins in MS word using a screen shot from Ticketmaster! I'm sure people at the club have a more detailed seating plan! It doesn't look central as I couldn't screen shot the whole stand with the seats but the empty bit on the LHS is the same as on the RHS.
