I think we can guess, but who is the mysterious "widow" involved in the loan? (surprised you missed that?)

maybe (hopefully) only half the story, perhaps they are not Venkys accountants but someone else's doing due diligence....?

Its Pontins at Southport I think!

Thank you all for pointing out my infallibility! The guy on Radio Rovers was having just as much trouble working it out after the game! Ah well, I'm even more relaxed now.

I dont always comment on such things as I often get them wrong! But if we lose to B'ham by as little as 1 goal and Barnsley beat Huddersfield by a clear 7 goals (or we lose by 4 and they win by 4 more "reallisticly"), wouldn't that put us down? You're right.....we're safe!

Doesn't matter who's out if Mr Magnetic Head is in & we lump the ball upfield! Think we'll try and play round him this time?

You're right, we used to get awards for the state of our pitch. In the past even half way through the season it still looked pristine.

Cue the Rao's toddling out of B&Q with an economy bag of Feed and Weed!

......local shops for local people.....

Can't make it tonight - kids clubbed together to get us Lion King tickets for our anniversary, when game was supposed to be Wednesday night! Third home game I've missed in 20 years.

I always think that the closing scene, when Jack says, "I'm just in love with job", should be played on the big screen just before every home kick-off so that the players can see what being a Rover REALLY means

Written admission to Inciting or threatening violence, tut-tut, OK Sergeant, take him away......

Yes, all taking gulps of their Nitrolingual sprays to keep the arteries open and stopping fo rthe occasional wee 'cos their prostates are playing up....!! (Written by one-who-knows............)

Second everything you say DB, Ooijer has been reliable in the main, and although not great at RB, he does a competent job.

Reports today say Sutton has called it a day due to eyesight problem. Despite him jumping ship, I always liked him. The best goal he NEVER scored was the three move goal against Arsenal, Flowers to Sutton to Gallacher, Gally puts it past Seaman, classic!

Seems like a re-run of the dialogue from a week ago, which suggests no actual movement

Mark Patterson was/is at Scarborough as Player manager and is doing HOME team celebrity for the Football Aid game at Ewood

Really, what's his name?! (Sorry, not PC, apologise, couldn't resist, - after all someone earlier was predicting us older ones would decrease the populace by having heart attacks - already had one, didn't like it, shut up now, goodbye)

No, Its spelled Stijn De Smet, probably pronounced Bill Throat-warbler-Mangrove!

Rovers in a European group stage game on Thursday?............can't be bothered, I'll go when they get there next time, I'm only fifty. (This is sarcasm by the way, I will be there!)

Not entirely sure I agree on the pace bit, but his skill can often make up for that, but in light of that I think he does need to be on the last defender rather than trying to pick up deeper and outrun them. He often drops to the "hole" position, I guess when he gets a bit tired, but he's very effective there and at that point the lone striker should really push on, or readjust the midfield/striker balance to make the best use of him. Class act

When I was refereeing, we used to get seasonal updates as to amendments to Laws, or how the law was to be interpreted and applied that season. I seem to remember that FIFA had extended the law governing Sending Off offences from just Foul and Abusive language to include racist andremarks and incitement to violence

still think the "Duck Call" would have worked very well yesterday................

My son always shouts at the drummer that his subtle tactic aimed at distracting the opposition goalkeeper at the moment of launching a goal kick just isn't working (he abbreviates all that and adds an expletive or two), instead advising him that he may as well try a Duck-Call. What he doesn't know is, that I've bought him an ACME Duck Lure from EBay to present to him around birthday time - so expect quacks after Nov 2nd, from the Blackburn End. The only trouble is the thing looks like a shortened blow-gun so he may well get thrown out for attempting to dart the opposition into sedation. (yes I know it's puerile but I have to get my kicks where I can at my age)
