Shocking decision, its right back or nowhere for simon! The Blackpool fans were not happy seeing him in midfield but they have injuries so theres nobody to partner wellens. People are starting to question hendry already which is a shame. I must admit though, if you thought we defended bad last season, you should have seen Blackpool against wigan! I couldnt believe my eyes.

Going to watch the Tangerines on Tuesday ? I think I am.

Not a chance! Daylight robbery that place. I sometimes go down if we arent playing and im bored but its a nightmare. Went to their friendly against wigan last sunday and it was like watching a pub team. £12 to get in!!! And Blackpool lost 5-0! I was gutted when hendry took that job, its a poisoned chalice!

It was all in a friendly atmosphere!

No comment

Anyone enjoy my goal at half time, sercurity wern't too pleased with my antics.

Great pass Scotty

I dont think the irish fellas were too impressed with your improvisation of the burnley inbred song! aka 'you irish scum'

That was a 'move away from this guy slowly' moment

After an impressive pre-season im afraid were going to be disapointed with a frustrating 1-1 draw. Emerton and Kanu to score. The baggies will be well up for this one with a massive following. Megson has strengthened his squad with some good players who have premiership experience. The ewood park nightmare continues.

Enckleman

Neill Amoruso Matteo Gray

Emerton Thompson Ferguson De pedro

Stead Dickov

subs, yelldell, gresko, yorke, tugay, gallagher

This is assuming friedel still injured.

I was 100% sober at the game after a major session in dublin on friday night!

And yes you was all very drunk, was funny. Every 5 mins someone fell over and nearly pushed me down the hill. The funniest moment was the rovers fan who started chasing the young irish lad in the united top! The poor lad ran a mile!

Im gonna get my tickets on wed night. Not sure what im doing yet because im meeting up with irish friends for a friday night session. Dont know whats happening on saturday, not even sure if they are going to the game, id like to meet a few off here so il try get down to temple bar area sat morning or just head to bray for about 3-4ish

Not sure if this link has already been posted but theres more infor here. Sounds great!!

I love sky

Ok i disagree with everyone. Dwight Yorke has done well the last 2 games, he has worked very hard, could have done with a bit more luck yesterday but i was happy with him, especially first half. Im also sure dickov will be more than capable of forming a good partnership with stead. He runs the channels, he looks for the ball instead of waiting for it to come to him, he makes himself available on either side of the pitch and can score goals. Cole has gone, get over it, yes he was our top scorer but he didnt get on with the manager, therefore no point in him staying. I can assure you we will get more out of dickov this season than we would cole.

As for the matteo situation, i still think defence but he has done ok in midfield and its only a friendly, this is where things get tried out, people are reading too much into it.

I also havent seen anyone give reid credit for a really good first half yesterday. Some great defending and good play going forward.

Hello, I'm back after a long absence. Where was Matt Jansen today, and who had to go to the hospital as a precaution?

Jansen played and scored at morecambe yesterday. Didnt know about the hospital, im guessing reid, looked to pick up a nasty knock and went off injured.

Couldn't really take much from the game but IMHO there are massive question marks over Dickov,Reid and our 'friend' Mr Yorke....We got the win but the performance was well below par.

Your entitled to your opinion but dickov reid and Yorke all had good first halfs!!

I agree reid was back to his worst 2nd half but for a pre-season game i thought they did well. Reid did some excellent defending 1st half and looked ok going forward. Yorke held the ball up well and i even saw him back in defence! Dickov made some good runs and linked up well with stead.

Also i think there was something in the region of 2000 rovers fans, probably just under.

Just got back..

tiresome game, preston looked good to me fitness wise although i suppose they are a week ahead of us. Rovers looked very tired towards the end.

First half we played well, particulary reid, dickov and yorke. Unfortunately reid didnt carry this onto the 2nd half and im still very unsure about him. Yorke 2nd half, i wasnt too disapointed but it was quite annoying when he has space to run and he just turns round with his back to goal.

Stead and Dickov im almost positive will start the season. They look very impressive to me as a partnership, as i expected, Dickov is putting alot of effort in andmaking some good runs, stead had some excellent touches today.

Matteo did ok but he has to be played in defence, come on souey! Fair enough he can fill the gap if we get injuries but hes a defender! A few bad passes from him today but i do rate him.

Enckleman looked comfortable all be it for a few heart attacks when getting back passes.

Amo and Nissa did alright after a shaky start. Nissa i think looks to nervous on the ball, this makes me nervous and id rather have matteo there with amo.

Gray played well, seems to have picked up from last season.

Barry looks like hes getting his fitness back quickly, give it a few more games and im sure we will see him doing what he does best, i.e box to box.

Flitcroft - we need to get rid of him. I know its harsh and hes still a good player but id rather he left. I doubt hes gonna get much of a look in starting wise when we have tugay and souey seems to be preparing for a barry/thommo partnership. We do need flitty in the squad but im sure he wont be happy with that role. He didnt look happy at all today and he took his frustration out on a pne player with a stupid tackle, then got booked. This could eventually cost us.

Overall im pleased, confidence boosting win yet again, still not conceded!!! Good that barry/amo/yorke/matteo etc all got 90 mins aswell fitness wise.

Not sure. Well good nights work all round. Im now off for a week in the sun!!

I shall make my return at dumpdale next saturday! Enjoy stockport!

Not sure. I expect them to win though. Just checking that was the deal.

so is it Birmingham o friday night?

get in! See my prediction went well

neway that rounds off a good few days. Looks like were playing Birmingham on friday night!! am i right?

yup, stead or douglas to miss

nows the time for much needed practice!

flashbacks of washington last year

Amoruso to score our winning penalty. AMORUSO!

I think im trapped in a back to the future continuem.

errm ok. What just hapened? GOD DAMMIT WHATS GOIN ON!

Eventon are crap, there's one team that will finish below us, and they are willing to invest 12 millionto keep Rooney playing with a bunch of div 1 class players, well most of them. They should sell and invest. Let Rooney go to Madrid

Yup.

Im putting money on them going down.

Everton are losing 2-1 to crewe. Im having fun takin the michael out of my everton mate on msn

Alright just thought you might have found some dodgy site that broadcasts any match it can find, LOL

Sport -> Soccer -> Friendlies -> European -> Germany -> Non-Bundesliga -> Non-Semi Pro -> Pub Teams -> Reserves -> Live Car Park Cam
