  1. Charles Wright & the Watts 103rd Street Rhythm Band - Express Yourself
  2. Was that the one with the badge in the middle of the shirt? If so it was one of the best home kits of all time that one.
  3. I don't remember the ones you are referring to. I have a vague memory of him scoring for Fulham against us but don't recall his celebration being anything untoward. I personally have no problem with players celebrating goals against their former clubs. You should celebrate after scoring. I don't understand this business of simply walking back to your own half after scoring a goal. The only time I could ever understand that was when The Lawman back heeled that one in to send Man United to the Second Division, but that was an extremely unusual set of circumstances. Although I realise it wasn't a former club, the sentiment was still the same when Shearer celebrated the one he got for us against his boyhood heroes at St James Park after he had come back from his first bad injury in 1993, and Chris Sutton did likewise when he scored for Celtic at Ewood.
  4. Apart from the other stuff people have highlighted, a couple of other things jumped out at me from that Daily Record (which is a horrible rag) article. Firstly, did I read correctly that his club has THE ONLY 19 PROFESSIONALS in the country??!! No wonder they won the fecking ten club league then. My missus would probably be able to supervise that championship campaign! How on earth did they ever lose a game? Secondly....."Portuguese attacker Paulo Sergio provided the star quality with 13 goals and 17 assists". Now there's a surprise eh?
  5. Yes it was the lad who scored against Wigan, a similar goal today by all accounts
  6. Celtic v Rangers youth games regularly pull in five figure crowds (especially while their first teams rarely meet). If they can do so, it makes a mockery of Lancashire Constabulary's stance. The nanny state at its very worst.
  7. How dare you come on here and talk sense! Sunday was a fine example of what you are talking about. If we'd kept it tight for the first 20-30 minutes, we probably would have won that game, and by a couple of goals too. Agreed. I actually do think there are 5 or 6 worse teams than us in this league, but they will garner more points than us because of their organisation and tenacity. What I wouldn't give for a modern day Howard Kendall!
  8. England win the toss and bowl first. I somehow think the Aussies might make a better fist of their first innings this time, though we live in hope!
  9. I see Liam Livingstone got glassed in a pub fight after the T20 quarter final. Thankfully it looks like he will be ok. Bloody cowardly thing to do that, some right Kents down there http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-33970941
  10. I think the likelihood of us being in a relegation fight increased on the basis of the fringe players' performance last night, because injuries and suspensions mean that most of them will get plenty of games *shudders*. If Rhodes leaves during this window I think that would be the straw that broke the camel's back, because you simply cannot concede 2 a game without him in the side to bail us out, and Gaz seems unable to rectify the leakage. It doesn't look great, but its amazing what a couple of victories can do. Let's start in Huddersfield on Saturday please!
  11. England finally broke through (4 times!), game could be over tonight.
  12. Equalled the quickest test five-for apparently. 19 balls
  13. You did well to quote your prediction before anyone else hammered you Den
  14. Hi everyone, due to not having access to the email addresses that my previous usernames were linked to, and not being able to remember passwords etc, I thought it would be easier to simply re-register. I was previously known as forumquizmaster and oldjamfan My name is Andy. I am 50 and was born and spent the first 30 years of my life in Darwen. Played for various local football teams including Darwen Olympic, Marsh House, Ewood Amateurs, Blackburn Olympic, Sunnyhurst/Alex and Lower Chapel Olympic. Scored around 300 goals in amateur and junior football but never had enough natural pace to play professionally. I was also a fairly well known pub league snooker and pool player in Darwen in the 80s. I have lived in Glasgow for the past 20 years, having promised my Glaswegian ex-wife that I would "Fulfil your wish to move back home when Rovers have been crowned champions of England". A promise I made in 1988........ I saw my first Rovers game in the late 60s, and started going on a regular basis in 1972 when Tony Field was banging them in and Roger Jones was keeping them out! I was a Darwen End season ticket holder until a couple of seasons ago along with my sons who are 26 and 21. With so many midweek games and games moved for TV it isn't worth renewing the ST so we buy individual match tickets and I normally get to 10 or 12 games a season. We catch the train to and from games from our home north of Glasgow, a 450 mile round trip, and often meet other Rovers fans on the train, along with supporters of many other clubs from all divisions. We can normally be found in either the Infirmary (or the Lockside Tavern as it is now known) or Uncle Jacks before games. As the former has closed since last season, it will now be the latter! I have managed to persuade quite a few disillusioned Scots to make regular journeys to Ewood over the past few years, not so regular since we got relegated though, sadly. I am the chief executive of a housing association in South Lanarkshire. I carry the Arte et Labore motto into my working life and am proud to be a Rover, and have followed us all over the country. My username is based on the fact that my favourite group in my formative years was The Jam, and it is nice to see the old boy still trotting out half decent tunes well into his 50s.
