We can only hope that is the case, as like you, I was also hopeful of that. Although the team are performing at the minute, I think most of us know that we will get more of the same stuff served up for the last 5 years, unless there really is a big overhaul.

Condolences on the loss of your Mother. It’s a horrible thing to go through.

Just another quick thought too, how about a promise of reduced price season tickets for next season, if we do make the premier league. Any full season ticket holders get 50% off, half season ticket holders and casual supporters with a history of buying tickets to ten games, get a 25% discount? Strike now, whist the iron is hot.

The fact that people post on here, suggests that each and every one, care about the club. To some, it may not be important, but what an ideal opportunity, now for the owners to come out and explain, what their plans are for the club. Not only that, but even some sort of an apology, or even an explanation, about how there were hoodwinked and advised by people, who were not looking after the best interests of the club. We are riding as high as we have been right now, since relegation and if they are prepared to search for some harmony and togetherness, from the fan base, perhaps, they will never get a better opportunity.

It’s days like today that make you proud to be a Rover. Great team spirit, the fight and desire, especially at the back was amazing. I have no idea, what was said after the Fulham game, but whatever it was, seems like a minor miracle. All round superb today, Pickering stood out, as did Buckley, but everything about that was superb. The beer is chilling, Christmas has come early after that.

It was an OG. Brereton hit the bar, rebound hit defender and went in.

Kean has shortened over the last hour or so. God help them.

Mowbray to Ipswich and Kean to Hibs, should make a nice double and pay for the Christmas drinks, if it comes in.

Not yet. Hibs fans on Twitter think they are safe from him, but I don't.

I am trying to find the bookies odds, as surely this was the plan from the start. Nothing showing up so far, which may tell it's own story.

It is a total guess on my part, but let's say the contract specifies that if by a certain date on offer has not come in from another club, then the option to extend in favour of the club then becomes available. As an example if the trigger doubles his salary, but he knows that signing for another clubs is 5 times that amount, then he is as well waiting until that date. Buying clubs, knowing that the option is there will still need to arrive at a fee consistent with 18 months on his contract that way.

Mowbray is not fit to tie Hodgson's laces. Uncle Jack appointed Hodgson and although he also appointed Kidd, you cannot fault him for wanting the very best for the club, which sadly is no longer the case.

I agree with that, so next week will be a big test. Given recent results, it’s a free hit, so we can go there relaxed and see what happens.

Just all round grit and determination there, which has been lacking for a long time. It was not a day when any football could be played, but every high ball was met with a Rovers head and the closing down was exceptional. Lenihan got the man of the match, but any of the centre backs could have. Brereton is not only scoring, but working as hard as anyone on the pitch too. Out for a family meal shortly, with amongst us my son and Grandson, who attended the match, so it should be a good night.

I said to my son, Buckley made that goal, in a way.

Delighted with that win and current league position. What is also very pleasing, is the number of players, who are in the side, having come though the ranks. As many have already said, Buckley was superb yesterday. I also think we have a find in Pickering too, who has been faultless in his two games, since his injury. Hope we can beat PNE next week. I will be there with my son & Grandson, having a few days in the UK pre Christmas.

It could be argued that relegation was not deliberate, but if I set off on a journey of 800 miles with a tank of petrol and no money, chances are my neglect to plan to fill the tank back up, would mean I would not complete my journey. The club was badly neglected by a group of chancers.

Not a great game. Long throws and bully boy tactics, seemed to throw us off our stride. Thought we were slightly better second half but no more than 5/10 as an overall performance. Glad to escape with a point, as I thought we were going to draw a blank. Big Ben rescued us again and great to see his goal tally, getting near to the 1000/1 odds, which shows how unexpected that was,

I wish some would put a derisory £5 million in my bank account. Funny how fees for footballers, doesn’t seem like real money.

It was a regular chant in the playground, when I was a kid, if someone ballooned a shot over the bar. Beamo, Beamo, Beamo. It was a word that could have found itself in the Blackburn dictionary, if there was such a thing. I love ken though and was happy to see him remain at the club for years, after his playing days ended.

Wages for players are one thing. Wages for people who brought the players in and deal with their contract renewals, is another thing all together. Some may have slept at the training ground in the past, getting the place rocking and working for nothing, but they don't all do that!!! I have heard a little whisper, that we pay over the odds for some of the stationary too, particularly the brown envelopes, but two firms of accountants were sent in to make sure, that bit is now a thing of the past. Hope they come back in again soon.

It’s only fair that you post that on a Hibs forum to warn them. Perhaps a link to Rovers revisited, wouldn’t go amiss.

I’m surprised he didn’t claim he was miss heard, when he called Allardyce a crook. He used to make the pies so I said he was a cook.
