The first half was only as bad as the City and Wigan games, only this week the other team actually managed to score a couple-Martins goal was a stunner. Second goal was awful, esp mickey Gray who had a 'mare all afternoon.
Some bad, bad omens yesterday, home supporters arguing with each other in the Jack Walker near me (not 1864!)
And the very noticeable booing of a home player, Lucas Neill. Reminds me too much of the last relegation season.
Sending off was predictable, Henchoz is slow and was limping as well so when he got skinned he hauled his man down. Upto then, I thought he was our only performer.
Like Capt Kaos, at this point I had given up and no longer cared what was going to happen next. I was a big joke.
Second half, Pedersens goal was brilliant and set the half up for a stirring comeback. But with ten men, after 75 minutes they started to flag and tiredness took over, understandably.
By the way, MGP got the Peter Jackson man-of-the-match award.
Finally, how many times do the opposition score when the goalie comes up at the end to try and save the match? Never, except against Rovers! (Not paranoid honest!)
PIE WATCH
We have a winner! Finally got to try the Meat and Potato. After my initial disapointment at the price, and the integrity of the case, the taste and texture of the filling made it this writers choice of BEST PIE IN THE GROUND.
Nearly lost the last bit as MGP scored whilst I was still eating it!
Since I moved from the Darwen End though I have missed the Ewood Bakery
