Well I had just attempted to join the one American linked to, but hotmail (which is a huge pile of crap) is not allowing me to activate my account. For f_ck's sake, there is a lot of faulty sh_t on the internet. I can't even log on to the skysports website sometimes .
-
Good lord, if Gallas is on loan, Souness would be mental not to at least try.
-
Maybe it'll be replaced with a 'Rovers sign Pedersen' story tomorrow .
For those interested, this is Tromso's stadium. And one more thing, I believe Roald Amundsen, the first person to the South Pole is from Tromso or thereabouts.
-
The deal will be announced along with the deal for the new kit .
-
Is it Tromso that is in the Arctic Circle ?. I know there's one Norwegien team who plays there.
-
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha !!! . That's the best thing that arrogant turd has ever done in his life. Nickelback are the most middle of the road rock band around right now. And Metallica should quit as well and count their money.
I'd add Papa Roach to that list, but they have fallen off the radar. Maybe all their fake angst-ridden fans accidently succeeded in their half baked suicide attempts.
-
I'm listening to the new Snow Patrol album.................pure quality!
first track is good, Keane album is great.
you should invest in Absolution though
What's it like when compared to the other 2 (which I have) ?.
-
Hooray. Hopefully he'll be as good as it is said, providing we sign him.
-
Creed have broken up.
Woo Hoo - one Christain Rock band down, now if Nickelback split up the music World would be such a better place.
Death to tedious, Pearl Jam lite Christian Rock. Please God let Nickelback quit as they realise their crapness, followed by Evanessence, Coldplay, Moron 5, Blink 182, Madonna and Good Charlotte for similar reasons.

I bet Glenn Johnson’s wishing now he hadn’t joined Chelsea now.
Ah yes - but Johnson was only £6 million - which the Russian probably found down the back of his sofa one evening. Should we try for him on loan?
£13 million for a right back?!?! Never mind different league - different planet. If it wasn't ridiculous before.....
I wish Steve Bruce was the Chelsea manager. £13m for the class right back Martin Taylor would have been great .
-
Make a firm offer for Karayaka, and maybe return if that gets turned down. We need a good left winger urgently, and cannot afford to p_ss around too long. Can't really blame Tromso for being awkward since they don't really have to sell.
-
Give Souness about 2 more seasons, then take on Dowie if he makes a reasonble fist of Palace in the Premiership.
If he makes a decent fist of Palace (sounds bad) , he won't want to come here if we're struggling . From what I've read he sounds fairly ambitious .
Two more seasons of Souness eh ..? Wonder where we'll be then ?
Then we sign Colin Hendry . Obviously if we have another season like last, then our chances diminish, but if we get to say 8th-13th, whilst Palace are 15th-17th, then we may have a chance. Hell, if Spuds can have a strike force of Keane and Defoe and nearly get relegated, or Rivaldo signs for Bolton, then anything's possible.
Except Burnley winning the 2005/6 Premiership perhaps.
-
So another person nearly signs for Spurs . What a joke club that is becoming.
-
He may do even better on the goals front with the likes of Stead, Ferguson, and Emerton if he improves next season. And at least we now have someone who remembers what a penalty is.
-
I'm of a similar view about youth players waggy, but which youngsters are potential Duffs in our squad ?. The only one who gets loads of praise here is Garner, and isn't he about 15 ?. Could/should the likes of Donnolly, Watt, Johnson or Fitzgerald move up to make the grade next season ?.
I cannot comment as I have never seen them play, so I am in no real position to say who is good, or bad.
-
Thing is, who'd you replace him with ?. Ranieri will probably go to Spurs (boo !). And don't say Houllier.
-
really does signal just how far we have slipped as a club over the last couple of seasons and most people seem ok with it now!
Cast your minds back - duff, dunn, jansen, just signed johanson etc we had a crop of very exciting youngsters and surrounded by a few older pro's in flitty, berg etc.
If we were to improve that side, we were looking at big name players to come in.
Now, we are content to go back to the kidd days of signing players like ashley ward.
Oh well - 90% of the rovers faithful will be happy. They will see a player dieing for the cause. A player prepared to crash though the advertising hoardings to save a throw in. Someone who will kiss the badge and really really mean it. Someone the fans can relate too?
What we lose, is an exciting, attacking, unpredictable team that on there day could challenge anyone.
I'd rather have Yorke any day than dickov & I would have done more to try and get the team to play the football we used to play. To get the team to play to the strengths of the few world class players we did have.
Oh well. It's a changing times.
That all aside - I will continue to support the Rovers and welcome Dickov when he signs. I'll just be gutted everytime I think what might have been!
As things stand, as soon we sign/bring up a decent player, Chelsea or Man Utd will take them off our hands for a wdege of cash. We are no longer contenders. Deal with it.
Everyone here would love to see Duff, the old Jansen, Henry etc. in our shirt, but it isn't going to happen. We can't go and sign Schnijder, Van Der Vaart, Ronaldinho and Thuram, so we have work within our limits, and not keep thinking we're going to go for the Champions League.
Tell me, where are these fantastic players we can get for 50p, and bring back those days ?.
It's all about being satisfied with what we can get, and sadly it isn't Henry.
-
great signing my arse,souness has just garaunteed another bad season,paul dickov is a good 1st division player at best.
Us Blackburn fans are a happy lot aren't we ?. At least we haven't signed him for £4m as Hodgson would have done. Let him play a game or two before moaning at least.
-
Is Carrick a creative midfielder ?. I've not really seen him, so I have no idea what kind of player he is.
-
Berkovic is a bit old and moody though. Mind you, I can't think of an alternative other than taking the show pony Joe Cole on loan.
-
Any update Norweigen Rovers ?. It's gone very quiet here.
-
I'm with Blue Blood on this, agood signing, providing he is replaceing Yorke or Jansen, and not Cole. Come on Andrew, stay for one more season.
-
The managerial merry-go-round is speeding up.
Ranieri is said to be heading back to Valencia, where he was coach from 1997-99, to replace Liverpool-bound Benitez.
With Mourinho going from Porto to Chelsea, Ranieri from Chelsea to Valencia, and Benitez from Valencia to Liverpool, how about Houllier to Porto?
I read in a paper (the Guardian I think) a day or two after Houllier was sacked that the FA wanted him as their new technical director. He did well for France in that role, so he could help us.

Give Souness about 2 more seasons, then take on Dowie if he makes a reasonble fist of Palace in the Premiership. He'd probably be sacked by Simon Jordan if they get relegated next season however well they fought .

Well it's working now, and I'm doing my team, called David Dunn's tits. So I'll try to stick it into the league. Someone should PM me how well/badly I did as I'll forget to look.
