Take a bow for that comment, sir.

Love it!

Haha....Reminds me of an Evertonian, who told a story about his Dad in the early 70's. Son and father where on a bus, which had stopped, when they noticed "Liverpool hard-man", Tommy Smith, standing on the pavement on the other side of the bus window. The father banged hard on the window to get Smith's attention and then smashed his fist into his hand, while Smith was looking at them. I think the lad was relieved, as the bus pulled away.

Ah, yes...his comments before a game v Charlton..., in his view, we were favourites due to our "Northern grit"...We all loved him too...Gutted, when I read that he had gone to Newcastle!

The football know-how/the in depth knowledge of the league we were in etc. To think he knew where to find what he wanted and put the team together very quickly. I do remember him being very unpopular at first though-sales of favourite players, Lambert-style, miserable performances at the end of that 73-4 season...

And before that too. In the depths of my own Field grief in early '74, an older gentleman neighbour, who had not been to Ewood since the 1960 ticket scandal, told me I'd better to get used to it. He cited Fred Pickering.... We didn't know it then, but I guess Gordon Lee used some of the Field money -£80,000 from memory-to build his own championship winning team the following season.

Yes, indeed... "His name is Eamonn Rogers, we call him the king of the land... ..........with a blue and white band"

Well, what do you expect.." We're gonna give this lot a right good stuffing"..?

..or the naught..£50 million to the dirty book men from WHU...

Profits of slavery!

"How can you rise anew, if you have not first become ashes?"

Good to see them battling back. There must be a concern, though, about the growing number of abject halves in games.

They've been reading BigDog's posts on here!

I know people have a need to move on, but I must confess I do get irritated, when others attempt to re-write history.

Blimey, I'm with you. To be honest, I thought "Get behind the lads FFS" was ironic -to apply to those who accept the unacceptable . Personally, I can back the team on a match day, whilst remaining highly critical of the way the club has been mismanaged.

Rovers RIP?

And he is going....isn't he....

How troll?

Harsh, but true, I guess. Still, Tony Field and Johnny Price remain two of my favourite Rovers players ever.... Third Division Rubbish...indeed....

Just waiting for a picture of Father Christmas and Jeff Bezos in a Rovers shirt!

Like listening to a sex offender in the police station... "Oh, poor, poor me!....Why does nobody understand what it was like?"etc

"Owen's a great guy, David"...Jim White to one Rovers caller....

Hmm. Why now? Something afoot.. First, Neville mentions how he never asked for him to be sacked. Then more Sky collusion. Talksport intervention next? If that's the case, a few of us could ring with some considered comments.....just watch Jim White squirming and rushing to close down/talk over the Blackburn callers... Something wicked this way comes.....

In all honesty, there is a small part of me-very small- that hopes even now that a partnership could be forged between Venky's and Rovers centred business people! Mostly, as regards Venky's "baby", I find myself recalling the old definition of child neglect...the ongoing failure to meet a child's basic needs...
