I watched that game on TV O'Sullivan was very poor and looked off the pace from the start and no surprise he was subbed. He offered very little which was disappointing as I had looked forward to seeing him in live action.

That bit did my f-ing head in lying towrags

As I haven't seen similar on the Rovers site here goes ................ and may my God forgive me: Monday’s U21 Premier League Cup Third Round tie between Burnley and Blackburn Rovers is being played behind closed doors. Kick-off for this game is 1pm. Dingles via their Site are doing a full match FREEVIEW later on Monday.

Only The Lonely - Roy Orbison

Only read about Andy Cole today and hope he mends well and soon.

I do feel especially sorry for those who regularly attend U21 and youth team games. Maybe the V's can allow their live feed to go to the Blues Bar?

I recall watching the game live on TV in a bar in Pattaya: http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x2zl0q3_blackburn-rovers-v-manchester-united-1993-94-shearer_sport

Found 30 minutes of highlights, quite good quality with commentary: http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x28i9oe_rovers-v-spurs-worthington-cup-2002-highlights-celebrations_sport

Many many thanks. A lot of info there. Played 3 games in NY and 1 in LA. Strong squad with many of the players I remember from that era plus others less well known but remembered like Chris Sims. Alan Bradshaw (a Blackburn lad), Reg Blore and George Jones. http://hugmansfootballers.com/

In 1962 the US International Soccer League initiated an annual 'American Challenge Cup' and Rovers played in the 1964 edition. I've found out just a little bit about how we got on in Section 1 of the tournament. Dukla Prague, the returning cup holders, won it again. Does anyone have more detailed information like who was in the Rovers squad that travelled, where they played, match results and scorers ...... I'm interested as it was just after I had started watching Rovers and I'd never even heard of the Tournament before today!

A great read and always a good blog. Nice to read the comment from Kevin Stonehouse. I vividly remember taking my Dad to the 1-1 FA Cup game at Ewood v Villa in 1980. As a treat we sat right at the back of the Nuttall St stand with the windows behind us with most of the glass broken. It gave us a good view down on the Villa hordes arriving. What Rovers fans were doing cannot be repeated here A very good tribute in the LT: http://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/sport/football/rovers/news/13877600.Blackburn_Rovers_legends_pay_tribute_to_the_late_Howard_Kendall/?ref=mac

I only caught up with the last days play with an hour or so to go. It was a bit of a shock to see the scorecard and that England were in with a chance. Night falls quickly in the ME not helped by Pakistan having a 3 minute conference between overs and taking ages to bowl an over - mind you we would have done the same. Looking forward to the next game.

Good to see Rovers quickly get a tribute onto the website: http://www.rovers.co.uk/news/article/howard-kendall-blackburn-rovers-2747645.aspx

Legend. RIP & God Bless.

Great for batting but what a bore so far. There is no one there to watch the grass trying to grow, the attendance is expected to increase a lot today and tomorrow when the millions of Pakistanis living and working locally are on a 2 day holiday.

This MB needs a good conspiracy theory to liven it up. A game coming up after a 2 week break and we've just had a Q&A and it's still quiet. Must be a lot on holiday ........... or banned in the ongoing MB cleansing process ....... ooops ...... another conspiracy theory. Boredom does that

I've just watched episodes 1 & 2 of The Last Kingdom, based on the The Saxon Stories by Bernard Cornwell. Think Game of Thrones without the Dragons or silly magic but based on fact with a dose of fiction. Epic and excellent if you like historical drama spiced up. I believe it reaches BBC 2 on 22nd October. Thoroughly recommended.

I'll look at this when it gets on Rovers Player. Enjoyed what I've seen of the U21 that I've watched to date.

Can we have a Poll? call it something like ''Save the Blue Walney''

Ahhh...........a night on Tramp Juice, fond memories

FFP, the transfer window running into the season causing disruption, the lack of Hawkeye (or whatever it's called), bad referees and assistants, general bad luck and probably now just waiting for the bad weather to kick in. If there isn't an excuse he will just make one up. I said a week or so ago somewhere on the MB that with the fixtures we have we could be relegated in all but fact come the end of October with Bowyer in charge - and it's getting worse by the match. We need a major turn around in getting very good results starting tomorrow v QPR. I doubt it I'm sorry to say.

Just watched Timbuktu the 2014 movie. Dialogue in Arabic, French and others but excellent English subs. Intense and compelling and very sad and worth the watch.

Roy was clearly not out LBW (the second one) the ball was moving away like a boomerang way down left - why the hell did Hales not tell him. Hales having a bad spell with the bat too. 13 for 2
