Roy Wegerle (93rd minute winner against Toon in FA Cup in about '86)
Howard Gayle (equal rights trailblazer... leisurely genius)
Oh alright then.... Shearer & Garner!!
I think you mean '96.
Was in the WalkerSteel for that game, remember the goal vividly... absolute cracker
I think we've been absoultely spoiled for strikers in the last 15 years or so- Shearer, Sutton, Gallacher, Garner, Speedie, Jansen
My votes go to:
Shearer- the best striker I have seen in the flesh. He was so good that on the rare occasion when he missed you were absolutely flabberghasted
Gallacher- because he provided so many memorable moments: goals on his debut (also Graeme Le Saux's debut if I remember rightly) in a 4-1 win against Liverpool at Ewood- such a good game that I didn't mind getting completely soaked at the bottom of the old Nuttall St stand; flicking the ball past Schmeichel in the opening minutes at Old Trafford; smacking one over Seaman from about 30 yards at Highbury, etc etc
Two more reasons why I vote Gallacher:
He's Scottish!
He always gave his all and played with a smile on his face

Anyone having problems with rovers world!? I cant hear anything, im listenin on radio lancs at the mo but wud prefer rovers world.
working fine for me
turn your volume up!

Dear Santa,
all I want for Christmas is a Rovers win. (If that's asking too much a night with a Swedish air-hostess will suffice)
I've been a good boy all year so you owe me this one!
3-2 to Rovers
-
1 Ball-winning defensive midfielder (allowing Bazza and Thommo to get forward, be more creative and maybe get more goals from midfield).
2 We could do with a new player in each area of defence: backup for Lucas; a new left-back (unlikely given how long we've been trying to get the right man for the job); and a new central defender just to make sure Amo is far enough down the pecking order for him not to get another chance. Erm, I'll pick left-back, but only if we can finally find one of the required quality
-
Burnley v Liverpool!!!
C'mon Steven Gerrard and pals!
-
Cardiff City v Rovers!!!
-
We learned a few things today (if we didn't already know them):
1 Every player giving 100% for 90 minutes (as I thought they did today) is not enough- if the opposition matches your commitment but plays better quality football they will win
2 We don't have the quality in terms of creation- despite our possession we created few chances- Spurs looked much more likely to score from the 1st minute
3 We need to but a defender in the transfer window
4 Spurs aren't quite as bad as we thought
probably stating the obvious but hey..
-
From the Beeb:
Hughes knows that victory will take Rovers level on points with Spurs, although they would need to win by five clear goals to overtake the Londoners.haven't seen anybody with this ^ prediction yet.
I'll say Rovers 4 - 2 Spurs, from 2-1 down
-
Coleman takes his share of the blame. Writing in the programme of his respect for his old Wales team-mate Hughes, he said: "All personal relationships will go out of the window come three o'clock." It was a 12.45 start.
might explain why Fulham were so poor
-
Great all-round performance.
We were discussing after the game who was our man-of-the-match, and agreed that there were no stand-out contenders. Just goes to show what a fantastic TEAM effort it was.
By the way, it seemed like half of Blackburn was in the pub in Edinburgh we watched it in. Strange
-
Not sure about anybody else, but I think we should move on from this. The race issue is something that will provoke endless debate, and it was right it should be discussed on this MB within the context of the Yorke incident.
However, the longer this discussion goes on, the more antagonistic it seems to be getting.
Let's get back to talking about the ROVERS!
-
still feeling mindlessly optimistic, despite my 3-0 prediction for the Brum game failing to materialise:
2-0 Rovers, Dickov and Thompson the scorers
A minute silence before the game to mourn the loss of any sense of proportion by the media.
Rovers commended in the tabloids for getting rid of their racist element practically overnight, yes that's right all two of them, though one of the papers breaks ranks by stating that one Rovers fan 'looked at Andy Cole in an odd way'

Apparently he helped get us a trophy!!!

That'll be the fooled-into-buying-a-player-because-of-past-glories-but-hes-now-a-lazy-workshy-useless-sod cup will it?
-
very true.
However, Emo and Reid have been playing infinitely better in an attacking sense since Hughes came along. It's so refreshing to see our wide players (esp. Emo) running at defenders and getting to the bye-line. Souness doesn't seem to like wingers and seemed to stifle their confidence.
Just look at Newcastle's performance against ManUre the other week- they were constantly trying to play it through the middle and never looked like succeeding other than Shearer's goal
-
That wasn't my question mp.
ofcourse I have done things I regret when a wee bit under the influence, but if you're suggesting that disqualifies me from criticising racists then I disagree.
-
nor did she call for the perpetrators to be banned for life when pressed by the Radio 5 inerviewer.
have to disagree with her on that one. Respect to her for not stirring it up though
banned for life? Have you never done anything that you regret later after having a few pints and in the heat of the moment? Or does your screenname simply refer to mineral water?
Jesus says in the bible 'let ye who is without sin cast the first stone'. Still feel like throwing a few millionpints?
my screenname does refer to my penchant for the odd 'refreshment' here and there, but no matter what state of inebriation I have been in I have never racially abused anybody- it's completely unacceptable, and not only should these idiots be banned for life, there's an argument to say that racial abuse should be met with a police charge and court appearance.
Anybody who spouts this abuse can't hide behind the excuse that 'they've sunk a few pints'- it's likely that the drink has just loosened the tongue and they're stating what they really feel.
By the way <edit oops> TND, the logical consequence of your post would be that nobody ever criticises anybody, which would make this MessageBoard rather dull!

David Sullivan has just been on Sky Sports News and said "everything has been blown out of all proportion"
Somebody else with common sense - well done.
This didn't go down too well with the Scottish presenter (whoever he is), who became quite argumentative.
of course, if the story is put in proportion less people will watch the show.
Common sense is irrelevant as far as most trash-media people are concerned

But in the article you can read this:
"Each time DY touched the ball the crowd of Ewood started doing monkey sounds"!!!
Simply not true.
Sensationalist journalism that pays no attention to the facts
-
Flair players always get abuse about effort etc.
Flair player? Yorke????? You must be joking.
Yorke was a lazy good-for-nothing SOAB for Rovers, and deserves all of the non-racial abuse he got and more.
If it was two people giving him racial abuse, then that is 2 too many and they should be banned for life, but it's getting totally blown out of proportion. The actions of 2 idiots should not tarnish the good reputation of the Rovers fans
-
3-0 to Rovers, Dickov & Stead(2)
you should try this stuff I'm smoking!
-
nobodys mentioned a guy named shearer. always thought he was an overpriced and undertalented fart!!!!!!!
nope, been thinking for the last couple of minutes, but can't remember him.
Goalie was he?
First striker
in Rovers' Greatest Team

He had a 'gentlemans agreement' with Uncle Jack that he would stay on
Nothing on paper though
