Football matches on several recent dates have had a minute's silence for Ken Bigley, Emlyn Hughes, and Brian Clough. This week we are seeing one of the world's worst natural tragedies in living memory unfolding. Bolton v Rovers took place as if nowt had happened. Can't help thinking it would be different if the loss of life had happened in the good ol' USA.

Are you saying that Gresko, Gray and McEvelly will be shown the door by Hughes in Jan?

How many tickets have Rovers been given?

Good to see 24,000+ Rovers fans in a well packed Ewood.

A Rovers defender clearly ducked on MOTD. Had he stood his ground the ball may well have been deflected wide.

Stop press........ ..........it's snowing again. Maybe lying 2" deep.

No chance.......... ...........finally stopped snowing. It's lying about 1" deep but Ewood has undersoil heating and forecast is mild for Boxing Day.

Any boozers in Chorley worth a visit?

10 Drummers drumming........... ............please no! Seasons greetings Billy!

Friday's LET lists all Souness's ins and outs. Those he bought and subsequently sold show losses of over £20m - IMO crass transfer dealing.

Rovers 4 - 0 Newcastle Souness booed off by the Geordies.

It got you biting though, luv!

Al, don't get too pessimistic. Not sure Brad would move to the North East.

Sounds like proper Lancastrian weather!

Way off target with the attendance At least I got the result right.. Good call Krislu! BTW how's the weather in Bergen right now?

Way off target with the attendance - the Toffees will have a tremendous following at Ewood. This is a great fixture. Can't wait for the return on 5 March. If anyone is in two minds about travelling, the rail trip to Kirkdale, pausing for ale at Ormskirk is unmissable!

How many did we give Everton? And how many have the Geordies been given?

0-2 Thompsn, Dickov.

2 horse race. John Lewis and Jack.

Den What about manager and chairman polls?

Why does the English League need a break? For the fans, its probably the most eagerly awaited part of the season, unless your team is involved in relegation/promotion.

Get in for Sutty now!!

It has been, and will be every time I get the opportunity. I appear to be in a minority however. Unfortunately, the chairman is also a Blackburn End Drummer, and Billy doesnt seem to let concerns about how popular his drumming is bother him (so long as he gets his free ticket). ????

.......and mek 'im pay to get in!!
