Funny what sticks in your mind. Apart from the wally with the brolly stuff .... The morning after we were relegated with Kiddo after the goalless draw with Utd, I went into work, emotionally fragile. A friendly, Utd colleague told me that McClaren (then Utd's number 2) waited on the touchline at the end of the game and shook the hand of every relegated Rovers player..

Would someone called Liam ever contemplate signing for Rangers lol?

Valdez is not coming!

One thing for certain, if you were a fly on the wall, you would not be on your own!

I don't disagree with you either! Enjoy, mate, it's a compliment..

Henry Fonda, I presume! They had a very harsh lesson, when we scraped survival at Wolves.Despite all the promises made to loyal fans in Pune, they continued the destruction and down we went.-the first time! So many more harsh lessons followed with many decent people saying they have learned from their mistakes, then so many more of the same ..er.."mistakes.." Even after all that mayhem...., Coyle over Warnock...so we must remain wary. Worst case is that this brilliant promotion merely reduces the pressure and dilutes the resistance. Obviously, I am hoping and praying for better..this time. Leopards and spots etc and beware "the rule of optimism" The next few weeks will speak volumes, I believe. Rant over.....

Lest we f***ing forget!

I saw Ben waiting for Vince Grella outside the bank.

Take your probation officer's advice. Put away the computer.Come out of the shed and let your sister go!

You know whose story that was, don't you, Hanks!

Jim Whittaker! He taught at St Augustine's in the early 70's/possibly late 60's A mate of mine always talks about "Jim" caning him for walking across the gymnasium floor in what was his sister's school. At the time, my mate said he hadn't yet started to attend the school.. I wonder how that would play in today's world!!

Still the best ever fanzine headline, when Mo Johnson signed for Rangers. "Forgive me father, for I have signed!"

I heard we wanted him as a player but he took the Bolton manager job.

I think that was the very reason Celtic did not offer him a new deal.

The supporters' of course!

Counterintuitive indeed! That word sums up so many decisions throughout the club over 7 years

Well it needs a dose of leadership and communication, alongside good results. This damage hasn't been done in a day, so it would require something special from the top..(cue hysterical laughter!)

Thanks. That explains it.

Well I hope you enjoy your day. The honest truth is that a home game has a strong sense of Napoleon's beaten army . Hardened stragglers, trudging back from Moscow in the cold. Loss, malaise, grumbling resignation etc Away from home, you would have no doubt that the flame still burns. You might enjoy our old sense of togetherness and "us against the world" camaraderie! A prospective owner -and there are reported to have been at least five over the last few years-might watch the scenes at Rochdale and Bury and think this to be a worthwhile investment. A visit to Ewood? Think ruins after indiscriminate, dirty ,Venky bomb... Happy Seventh Anniversary!

A flag upon a marble arch? -47er

They might have trusted the Walker Trust to have carried out a decent process! They might have trusted the Fit and Proper person test..or whatever it is called. Can't blame the supporters for the twisted, greedy actions of crooked Indians and their partners. FOV...

Watch the process, though. Managed decline/dumbing down expectations along with everything else. So much so that even I enjoyed an away win at Bury in the Third Division. How would any of us have responded, if someone had told us in 2010? I guess we might have had a significant boycott. Our fans were superb at Bury. They don't deserve this regime!

Let's hope it ends positively with a sale to some decent owners. But...many a slip twixt cup and lip etc

Unless he was worried about the hamstring problem!
