I wonder how many 'assists' Bryan Douglas had in his Rovers career. It must have been a very high number, shame no such stats exist or that much video of that great team. I say not much but can't recall any apart from a little bit on British Pathe and the 1960 Cup Final. There are a lot of photos though in the Talbot Archive facebook pages, including 17 just from the first match I saw at Ewood, 7-2 v Spurs.

RIP Fred Pickering, sincere condolences to all his family. I was lucky enough to see Fred emerge at Rovers and become a great striker. I feel priviledged. I came across this on the Everton website, which endorses what we at Rovers knew. A good article. http://www.evertonfc.com/news/2019/02/09/null

What's he going to do with all the extended contracts he handed out? Problems of his own making. I agree about recruitment and wait on news of him needing up to 4 to 5 more windows.

I admire your players taking the field in that kit! It made our worst ever home kit bearable to look at for eye relief.

At the start of the season I wanted us to win the mini Lancs league within the Champioship which at least guaranteed safety and some bragging rights. I too now think Preston will top that after recruiting well pre season and again in January. We were about 12 points ahead of Preston at one stage. Not to mention they and Wigan have already dicked us. I saw the game. We were impotent.

That scandalous idea will never catch on here. We thrive on a good moan and the day wouldn't be the same without a few COYB

The current home kit is the worst in our history and came about because Waggott and Commercial messed up shirt sponsorship for this season.

Someone did piss in his drink, alledgedly, but not sure if that qualifies as "spiking" or just a job well done.

He was just giving England the chance of getting to day 4!!

Ewood Park should be converted to a stadium design max capacity 20k. And level the pitch.

I doubt that Smallwood or Williams are going anywhere soon. Smallwood is contrated until 30.6.20, Williams until 30.6.21. The highlighted bit just confirms that we are still far from being a normal Club, indeed it is an idiotic state of affairs if true.

That is what should have happened, the Queen of Ewood! Madame would have come out too.

FFS give over! His vlogs are not watched for the quality of highlights and most certainly will not impact the Club of Sky Leeds. 100s of 1000s bollocks.

Leeds bus station urinals?

I think we are overdue a massive multi-quote. They are a positive, you can skip past loads of tosh in a single go. Not having seen the game were Brentford really that brutal? If they were then why did we not kick a few ourselves, late on. Revenge style. I hate us being a soft touch.

Good post. Our arrogance in going into this series unprepared has caught us out. We will maybe win the dead rubber which will again paper over the cracks. A lot to be done pre Ashes, the greatest series in Test cricket, the real form of cricket.

ME and I partially blame the anti Sam brigade for his ousting. Desai seized on bringing "pretty" football to Ewood for "that" appointment. That went well.

Amen to that. Personally I think it's a brain cell thingy. A need to be one of the lads and believing the hype.

It is the same in the Summer, the rest are lame excuses to extend the inevitable of shopping at discount stores apart from the odd spree.

Mowbray wants to see how far his lads can go, well they don't like going away from Ewood, not even as far as Preston nevermind London. It will be back to 4 or 5 windows needed, and he ignores the January ones.

Good scouting and recruitment, a tactically aware manager and players who will put the boot in and push a ref to his limits.

I did not see the game at all. A debt of gratitude I owe to my flakey internet. Did we not even kick a few of those beestards back? Edit: elsewhere I see the rest of Team Moanbrays firefighters are showing up. I think I will try to watch Leeds v Norwich and let the children play on here.

No idea, I've moved on to wanting to see a league table of who reports the most posts on here. It could be monetized, maybe our main sponsors could get involved. Is 'snowflakes' an ok word? Any sign of Spring coming early. Not too long until the Summer window.

It's about Budget and sensible controlled use of resources and assets. If we still had that 7 mil we'd have skips at Ewood marked for phone and camera deposit pre match
