Rovers win. Preston lose. Not a bad day at all.

''I think we're missing a bit of real raw determination really to not lose football matches'' Says the man who assembled the squad and provides motivation by sitting on his arse and fingering his ears. I didn't want him when he became the first and therefore cheapest option by taking on existing backroom staff. He used to wind me up with his drivel on a daily basis, now I just avoid his rambling as much as possible. Highlighted - if supremely optimistic then possibly but in reality he has this gig for as long as he wants. Not too bad for a man who failed at his first task at Rovers .......

My New Years resolution is to be more civil and not swear so much. That's all I can say on this subject.

That one is doing my head in. Mowbray is an imbecile.

I am so sorry that I stayed up to watch that Mowbray induced shitshow. Its fecking 5am here. Fuck off Mowbray.

Ayalas injury strengthens Mowbrays begging bowl for money for a CB and its cover for a Januaryitis hol for Daniel

No

He seems to have cut back on shooting from distance

Fear not, he will be part of a 3 sub at 62 minutes

Johnson has scored 3, same as Brereton

Got it, download took less than 4 minutes

I remember it happening and being reported on TV but not seeing an in depth report until the TV documentary in 2001 ''The Ibrox Disaster'', I have a copy of that and its probably on YouTube - which has oddly just gone off line this minute, for me anyway. The worst football crowd experience I have had was being taken to Anfield by a Liverpool mate to watch a European Cup match on a packed standing only Kop. Having my jean legs pissed on was a non event in the bigger picture. * YouTube came back and there is coverage there I now see that there is a new documentary, Disclosure - Stairway 13, which I'm now in the process of getting.

The scary thing is that he's only just turned 57 - Mowbray that is! Years of mediocrity or worse to come. Further proof that intelligence is no relation to age.

Using the VenkysLT as a source . I stopped reading at that.

Guesses? Do you actually believe that Downing would bother getting out of bed for 5k pw? Do you actually believe that Mowbray would insult a Boro boy to that extent?

''merely contributed to us being fatter and slower and ponderous and predictable with our passing.

Or a small one and say its true

I had decided on Maurice Norman too. Frank Saul distant centre? John White distant right or Dyson, Greaves would never be that near his sides goal

This was my first visit to Ewood and the biggest crowd I had ever been in, both impressive and a bit scary. Attendance was 20,949 in a ground that could hold many more. The standing fans made it look fuller.

I was there! 17 match photos, maybe including all the goals, are in the W & H Talbot archive

Oh the cushion of his Third Division stats. Bowyer - True ...... with the squad he had promotion was expected. There are those of us blessed with a memory greater than that of a Goldfish

The strategy almost ensures that promotion is always just out of reach. Odd isn't it and to whose benefit.

He would not have got in our School team. I mean that.

There is no pressure at all on Mowbray. Never had been, never will be. He runs the Franchise FFS

It was indeed and India had no answer. I'm glad I tuned in to witness it.
