Premium Credit accepted everyone - it was part of the agreement. They have gone back to Zebra this year, who are doing full credit checks.

Don't worry the robbing barstewards will make it up by stuffing late arrivals for £3

JeJesus, Everton wore their home shirts our blue is that insipid

Wasn't the squad decimated by pull outs due to pre season?

VAR became less of an issue once all the amateur refs from footballing backwaters went home.

What a ???

Rovers policy should be

Bought prior to 12.30 "Thank you ever so much for your support. Enjoy the game"

Bought after 12.30 "Thank you ever so much for your support. Enjoy the game"

Rather than profiteering with no justification whatsoever. I know it was on all last season but it's a disgraceful stance and always has been.

It's certainly not the club it once was off the pitch.

No wonder potential walk ons vote with their feet

Surcharges on airlines and trains are usually if your using a credit card only though?

Which have been outlawed.

Millwall ticket details announced. £3 surcharge after 12pm on matchday. 

Was it £2 last season?

What possible justification is there for the surcharge?

‘The lighter blue design last appeared on Rovers’ home shirts during the 2014-15 Championship season and famously featured in the 1991-92 campaign, when Kenny Dalglish’s side triumphed at Wembley to secure promotion to the newly-formed Premier League.’

The kit wasn’t a particularly light blue in 91/92, are they not getting confused with 90/91?

They are certainly getting it mixed up 100000000% 

91-92 and 90-91

Rovers back o

in the Prem would be amazing but I'd take Rovers being in the championship for the rest of my days for a world cup win. 

A world cup is huge, an entire country going bezerk!!!

But as the latter will never happen in my lifetime I'll settle for Rovers agoing up ?

"Average". Thanks for proving the point I was trying to make. 

Decidedly average. Sevilla made him the sub he is today.

Former Rover on the pitch in the World Cup final......................a player some "fans" on here were glad to say goodbye to. 

He was average until he went to Seville. Like Henchoz he turn his back on the club after a relegation he partly caused. No time for tossers like that.

Whilst Kane may have only had 1 shot in the knockout phase as the tints fade from the glasses the service to him was very very poor.

Rivers winning the PL or England the WC?

I'd go for the former every time.

But if it was a choice of WC or another Rovers promotion in my lifetime I would chose the WC because Rovers will go on once I have gone ?

Got this from the trades hall

procession starts at 12midday from Hobb inn goes down Station Rd to Trades where coffin is raised by ceremony then on down to school lane turns around at old mill and back up Station road.

Just seen the road closure notification signs for this outside the withy arms in Brig from 10am onwards.

Can anyone expand on the order of events?

I would swop everything bar the Prem title to see England win the world cup as for promotions they are not even in the same ball park. There's been 6 in my lifetime alone 

4th crap game on the run for Kane. Flat track bully?

Well it's a true enough stat. Compared to Germany, Brazil, Argentina, Netherlands, France etc. we really struggle in the knockout stages.

Belgium and Cameroon were despatched in extra time. Colombia were beaten on pens which is a test of metal. They cannot be dismissed purely to trump up a stat 

Unless we are also dismissing the 66 final

I'm still pretty devastated. I was convinced that despite not being the best team ever to grace the world stage fortune was for once smiling on us. I'd even been to Amroth on the day of the Columbia game where no member of my family has been since 1966 final day (gran, grandad, mother as a child). My grandad passed away last year and It was written in the stars to me due to my personal portents. I was utterly convinced that this was the time and we will NEVER get as close again in all our lifetimes (if you are older than 20). 

League fortunes wax and wane regularly over someone's lifetime unless you support Rochdale ? but the world cup to an Englishman is THE zenith. The unconquered summit. The ONE.

Football is a team game. One day an unfancied country will win the WC because they are a good collective unit rather than the best collective of individuals. It's happened a few times in the euros but as yet never at a WC.      Though Croatia could yet be that team. (Who also had a very easy run through the knockout stages)

I like it when people shorten it to 90 minutes just to make their point look better, like extra time is irrelevant ?

The nation's league is perfect for breeding squad players
