Like a new signing. I'll get me coat....

I'm working up to a non swearing New Year so no comment from here whilst struggling with my temper guage. Up to the late disaster we missed enough chances to have won comfortably and we were playing well.....then it went south

It would not have been given as a foul in a school game

A Christmas cracker of a goal from Adam. Good pass to him.

Well done all involved! I'll be watching from afar and it will be heart warming to see Ewood with a decent crowd on. I hope that we all have a good day

Read up on "bipolar" you need education

Whitewashing of that debacle in full swing. Its much easier to go with truth. We didn't turn up, tactics were almost non existent, most players has a mare and we were lucky to only conceded 4, Oh and wtf is that lightweight crap, Moran, doing in a Rovers shirt. If you want that sort of weak in weak out (deliberate) bring Buckley back.

Not quite as Duffy's red card, but getting there. At a minimum it was as a result of a deliberate act with known consequences.

A point at Huddersfield, that's about it.

Lol, I edited just before I saw yours but I still had commentary on the phone

4-0 flatters us.

The Southampton player kicked Carter

That's the match highlight. Plus the ref is a known piece of shit.

I hesitated so to have time to think it through. IMHO - Brittain knew what he was doing and what the outcome would be, which makes him a cunt and chicken shit

27% possession to us. I am amazed it's so much. Play deep, don't press, hope and pray...those are our tactics.

Luckily I watched Ipswich v Norwich earlier so got some decent football viewing in to compensate for this utter dog shit.

Pathetic. Garbage.

That was boring rubbish.

I hated Ceefax and yearned for the return of the Teleprinter. How times change.

Yes and well taken by Siggy, very clinical. I do believe they are coached to play out from the back in that manner. The players are not making it up as they go along. It's now in our DNA. In the same vein the keeper is instructed to play short passes and the ones that always scare me are those played to a player on the edge of our box facing his own goal whilst closely marked but with little idea how close. Adam and to an extent Tronstad are our only players able to deal more often than not with receiving such passes and they make errors. Moran is not yet technical enough to cope and should not be used for such.

So he's just following orders to commit suicide passes. Our calm acceptance of madness is surreal. I would add that I also believe Carter was just following orders as I credit him with more sense. Just chalk it down to a Tippy Tappy ASSit, one of the leading assisters in modern day football. Thanks Pep. Meanwhile slightly extended highlights courtesy of BC

This team photo came up on FB, can anyone put a date to it? I saw my first Rovers game in September 1963 and only Douglas and Clayton from the photo featured in that game.

Yes indeed. It worries me that Stoke may decide to give "nice" football a try for a change.

Tippy Tappy is played way down into the pyramid. I've watched enough Non League and early FA Cup ties to see it. The can't always get it right in the PL and TT must have many assists at PL level so what chance have we and lower level got. The waiting to give an offside is an accident, as in injury, waiting to happen.

Wiki has Stead with a career 626 appearances and 143 goals, now coaching at Barnsley. Pretty impressive career. Our recent record against BC is poor, well awful, no wins in 6 over the past 3 seasons, 3 draws and 3 defeats which include 2 at Ewood.
