We are all very content, with a beer/wine/gin/tea, with the table on pause. Looking forward to ifollow failing at Pie land.

Excellent day back at the office!

Stuart, if you're asking me the question as to which is more important, all children going back to school/college, against football coming back behind closed doors, the former every time.

Just catching up! Serco were paid £108m for the world beating track and trace system that has proved to be shit. There's money all right......just wasted!

Well, let's win tomorrow and every game thereafter and see where we get to!

But surely Wembley is as much for the fans? No fans, will the players be bothered where it's played?

PK's description of his horrendous ordeal should be a salutary lesson to everybody to continue to play by the rules. Well done, I wish you all the best in your recovery.

See Roma's players have decided not to take four month's pay. Respect.

Had he lost at OT, and not been fired (out of a cannon), would he have survived after Arse, I doubt it? We were in free fall, as the rest of the season confirmed. It was the worst of times........(in Rovers times of course, context is everything), not like now. I hope our families in every way stay safe.

That's my point, it was an accumulation of total vitriol towards him, the football was dire. A 5-0 defeat.....yet Sir Alex put out dross. Bastard!

I remember the time well. the only time I've wished a Rovers loss. I'm ashamed, but hated the fucker. A decent Manure win, yes it was toxic, he would have gone.

Just catching up, football seems a long time ago. I'm with Leonard on this one. Whilst I don't recognise the fact that Steve Twat ever existed, let alone managed our great institution, that fateful day on NY eve 2011 when Ferguson had disciplined Rooney etc for their Christmas boozing, and his depleted side let us win 3-2 at the theatre of shite. He was one loss away from being kicked into the long grass. He would have been toast. Didn't we go on to lose 7-1 at the Arse in the New Year. I've never forgiven Ferguson either! Whilst the Loons would probably have fucked up a new appointment, he would have gone, and a fighting chance of surviving in the PL. I was at the Chelsea semi, gut wrenching, but I got over it. The above still irritates to this day!

Sorry.

£2,200, what a complete knob. You wouldn't wish the virus on anyone, but the vast majority have to stay in, he's busing in sex workers, whilst people are losing their livelihoods. What a arrogant prick!

Agree, he wasn't handled right. And yes, Blackburn wasn't trendy enough, but he crashed and burned very quickly, thereafter.

David Bentley had it all, should have stayed and had a glittering career, instead of moving back to the bright lights and the booze.

Ah, but the accounts show who pays the piper. He won't suggest a pay cut?

Fastest ever, in a dead rubber at Ewood? 06/12/95 v Rosenborg, 4-1, Shearer bagged the other, we were already out, CL.

Many, many years ago, when I was able, my then firm sponsored a round at Wilpshire golf club for the club golf day, and he was our pro........thoroughly good day out, excellent company, and seemed very principled. Always enjoyed watching him play.

As I've said in other threads, certain clubs have really shown their true colours, Spurs/Newcastle etc, Spurs player's averaging £75/wk, asking staff to "furlough". It really is time that highly paid prima donnas stood up to be counted, whilst another 500 + confirmed dead today. Still get paid, donate 25%/50% back to the club to pay staff. Do a "Howe"! There is no moral dilemma at all.

Mike Ashley is a reptile, lower than a snake’s belly, asking for Government help for his lower employees. What a twat whilst he retires to his semi-detached, in lower council house town.

I am appalled that the riches of the PL are not being disseminated down to employees, who are now being expected to be furloughed out. Big team player's abroad are taking pay cuts.....I understand contracts, but player's on £100,000 a week, surely can live on £50,000 a week for a short time? I know so many folk struggling on next to nothing, and are scared shitless about their short term future. I think the PL should be trailblazer's, not asking for handouts!

Saltaire.

It's a long haul. May's finals postponed, looking like the Olympic Games are going. we are in lockdown for a minimum three weeks. Folk aren't taking it seriously enough. I'm a key worker, though not in the NHS, I'm extremely concerned working in the court system where you will not believe how lax the Government's advice is not being followed, and you can imagine the criminals in society don't have hand sanitation at the top of their daily list. I don't expect nor have any expectation of sympathy, but the police are still locking up vulnerable members of society, who are entitled to representation. I'm not sure we will get any football soon.I'm shit scared, my partner is in a vulnerable group, and I cannot see her for a minimum of three weeks, and I suspect a lot longer, as we don't live together. Sport has to take a back seat. Very difficult times. I wish everybody well, and be sensible.

On the basis of the unprecedented and strange time we appear to be in, is it not time for a statement from our lovely owners to inform us that they will see us through it?
