Not bad.

We're ball number 30 in the draw for those who care about such things.

He used to be on here in his teen years if I remember correctly, but I'll let someone else identify his username.  I used to call him the "purple ocean".  MAJOR BUMMER.

That's correct; but two things occur to me: i) would any employee of a company the size of Venky's expect a reply from the Chairman of the Board if he wrote to them about the way that part of the company he works for is operating? I think not.

At best, he'd be ignored; at worst, he'd be marked down as a troublemaker and lined up - if not immediately - for a P45.

ii) in this case, weren't we the main group to whom JDT wanted to communicate a message?

I wouldn't disagree with your point other than to say that JDT is arguably the employee with the highest public profile in their entire portfolio.

JDT doesn't get it - the "money" decisions are taken in India, not by Steve Waggott.

Unless he(Jon) has a direct line there himself then using Mr Waggy is the best way to communicate with them.

Looks like this yellow 3rd kit is unlucky.

Hopefully the last time we wear it.

Should only be in Blue & White today.

I've made that argument myself many times to too many deaf ears.  2 PL RELEGATIONS in those damn things but a certain subset are still attached to them because of 1 day at Wembley 31 years ago. Most of the rest of the examples are from decades in the lower divisions wilderness.  We should always be some form of red & black away when the traditional kit isn't an option & there are a dozen+ ways to do it so that the club & kit makers can still have their yearly sales boost.

Szmodics did well to hold it together. He’s becoming the beating heart of the team. JRC was everywhere and my mom. Hedges was much improved….I was losing faith in him but he was good today. 
Ennis looks like he might become the real deal too, I can’t see Gallagher being a regular starter.

Dolan isn’t good enough, neither is Travis. I know it was only against 10 men at the end but I’m encouraged that we came back from 2-0 down…..we wouldnt have done that last season!

 

Wait.....Who's your mommy?  MotM in the future gang.

..................................... after one of the worst first-half performances I’ve seen in a Rovers shirt (and I was there for all of Corrado Grabbi.)

Hey! No picking on "Ciccio" ; he tried his best & if the goal against Barthez had counted his story might have turned out very differently. Besides, those were happy times for us for the most part.

Yes.

47er beat you to the answer, but you got things started. Thanks Dan.

Yes! Fuck that final whistle felt so good. Even enjoying Status Quo’s 4 chords! 😂

 

Rovers ❤️

What track was that?

Old, injured & not as much depth relative to other countries compared with the past. BUT ...... If we can find a way past the round of 16 don't count us out.

Souness down the touchline to celebrate that one if I recall? Also do not remember that with Friedel and the ball boy at all 😄

Yeah, Souness was in amongst Yorkie and Co celebrating the goal. It's not in the clip, but I have seen a photo of it somewhere. Love that! I wish that was on there.

Haha. Same here, I didn't know that had even happened with the ball boy. No messing about. Shows how eager Brad was for us to get a result.

I don't know about that. I am more a "Faint heart never fucked fair maid" kind of guy.

Well...into the breach we go then. ⚽

I meant, automatic promotion for us and the dingles relegated .

High expectations create an atmosphere for high achievement.   

OK 'loaf: Which Cup?

Don't forget the Cup Double!.....with the dingle berries going down at the same time.

Been incorporated on the shirt before, hasn’t it?

At least once before Matty.

Reminds me of the sign over the gates of the old Blackburn end.

That's exactly what it is. The sign behind Jack's statue was salvaged from the Blackburn End during Ewood's refurbishment in the 90s.

If you've ever wondered what it would be like to watch Rovers drunk during an earthquake......well, there you have it.

We're gonna miss out because of a lack of VAR in this division.  How much do you wanna bet the division gets it this summer & it screws us next year.
