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!

Yes, I had the exact same expectations of him. I certainly expected him to come to the fore in the Championship. I think we have had to endure a crap, dysfunctional midfield for almost seven years and Lowe seems to have typified that. This year it does look more solid and creative. Elvis will be spinning by the way!

Haha. It does happen. Tony Finnigan against Burnley, anyone?

Ian McGregor would have called it "managed decline". Rage, rage against the dying of the light...

Yes. It all seems a bit "shabby" (in the Terry Thomas sense) It smells of people, who have never owned the ethos of a small town club, steeped in tradition and who don't give a *** about Blackburn Rovers. I am sure Jack would have sacked the lot of them. Then there is someone like TM, who does seem to be a decent bloke.

I hate football!

Yep. I always remember Nicky Campbell's comments on 5 Live, when the FA Cup semi final draw had "secured" Rovers v Chelsea and Utd v Watford. "What a surprise!"

What a great win. I saw this on a Sky blue blog. Wonderful to read: Unfortunately they were left a little punch drunk against Mowbray’s death-by-passing. To be fair, I’m being needlessly critical of Blackburn’s approach there – they controlled the match and also made plenty of incisive passes, catching us on the break countless times. All good for them and their possession stats; a bloody hard night’s work for us.
