Patti Smith Group - Because the Night

I don't think anybody would argue with that den. Mind you, anyone who has watched the last few games at Ewood would already have known that. I haven't seen the pitch in as poor nick as this in about 30 years. Club executives are to blame for me, some crazy false economy operational decisions have been taken.

Apologies if anyone else has already posted this, but this was the photo the club issued with the announcement of the postponement.

Chuck Berry - Roll Over Beethoven

I'm just going off what my Celtic season ticket-holding friends and family say about the various managers they have had during my time in Glasgow, which just about goes back to the managers I have mentioned. Its a fair point about the 'biscuit tin' times, although they were still better off in terms of being able to attract players than all bar one other club up here, just for a bit of perspective. The other thing about Barnes' tenure at Celtic Park is that Henrik Larsson had that really bad injury. Most teams would struggle when losing their talisman like that. Even Dalglish at Ewood suffered from a slump in results when Newell and then Shearer got injured in 91/2 and 92/3. I think Celtic fans came to realise just how important King Henrik was to them over the following few seasons.

Barnes' record at Celtic was far from the worst, which is somewhat surprising (albeit he didn't get that many games). I think Lou Macari and Liam Brady might be more on a par with Mowbray at Celtic if I remember correctly.

General Public - Cry On Your Own Shoulder

I think it is harsh to criticise the club simply for the game being called off - I bet it won't be the last fixture to be affected today - but it is reasonable to criticise them for the general state of the pitch, which is poor. There's nothing embarrassing about a game being called off in shit weather, and calling it off early is the right thing to do.

Ha ha I take it you're joking right? I have more chance of getting the Celtic job than Tony Mowbray.

Indeed. It was the England captaincy aspect of it that I thought may have been very unusual. I can't think of many others in my lifetime that have subsequently dropped down and played at that level.

I think renrag has it. Wigan v Great Harwood, it would be 1969 or 1970. Imagine a non league team having a former England captain in its ranks, as well as a few other ex Rovers (including Duggie of course).

No hiding place in socially distanced crowds, you can hear it more clearly and point out the scummy culprits as well.

Cockney Rejects - War on the Terraces

Terrific performance by India to chase down 330 and win at the Gabba, the first visiting side to win there in 30-odd years, and easily the highest successful run chase there. Pretty amazing series win for the Indians considering they were bowled out for 36 in the first test.

Scritti Politti - The Word Girl

The Beatles - For No One

I went down in the early 70s once Tony. I would have been ever-so-slightly too young to help in 1969, so this pic could have been that time.

Jimmy Radcliffe - Long After Tonight Is All Over

The Jam - Boy About Town

Phil Spector, deranged music producer, has died in prison at the age of 81.

Those ‘friendly congrats’ included a barrage of coins, which you could hear pinging off that floodlight pylon. We were taken to London Bridge station in police personnel carriers afterwards for our own safety. Fucking scum are Millwall fans.

87/88 maybe Gav? Millwall were in the top flight in 88/89. Was this the last game of the season that got us into the play-offs when we dicked them 4-1 to spoil their championship celebrations? Edit - just seen the above post by SGs194

These are not good signs for the trip to India.....
