Surely the locals refer to Bristol Rovers as ‘Gas’ or ‘The Gas’?

Absolute horseshit. Waggott has been nowhere near India.

No, India came to him, just at the point he was 'forgetting' to press 'send'...

Like me you’re old enough to remember Kidd at Wembley - my kids didn’t get him but got Lambert, who was perhaps a less obvious one. Berg didn’t actually play in the final but still got a winners medal and it’s quite surprising really that Hughes and Ince aren’t on the list - my younger lad thought they might have been. Plenty of league titles between them but not the big cup. Full house mate, well done.

Here’s a trivia question for you. Without using Google etc, how many Rovers managers won European Cup/ Champions League winners medals as players and who are they?

Uncle Tony must be connected to half of the clubs in the championship by now Tony? Edit - just checked - it’s 7 clubs he’s managed in this division!

The Stranglers - Nice and Sleazy

The Damned - New Rose

The Vapors - Waiting For the Weekend

Small Faces - Wide Eyed Girl On the Wall

The Who - I’m a Boy

Yeah but they can just blame the nasty government and politics over there in that respect.

Kim Carnes - Betty Davis Eyes

Paul Weller - Ends of the Earth

Hopefully they will become less unusual as time goes on. Football is not a complicated game, really.

Actually funnily enough it was the early season results that got us near to the playoffs last season. All those pragmatic 1-0 wins where we nicked a goal and Kaminski performed wonders to protect it. When the ‘JDT style’ crept in and we dominated possession and pissed er I mean passed it around at the back, that’s when we started to lose a shit load of games and slip down the table. I agree with your other points though.

Well just to put some context on this. I wasn’t pushing anyone’s ‘narrative’ but I know for an absolute fact that Paul Lambert was indeed angling for the Celtic job and it was me that posted that on here. It was why he had the clause put in his contract in the first place. It really wasn’t bullshit Gav - I have better connections at Celtic Park than I do at Ewood 😉

Paul Weller - Time Passes

Ha ha. Indeed. The one he flashed in the corridors of Turf Moor certainly has matey.

Zayd is a great guy Tony. The Trust has been working closely with SAS recently and indeed were in attendance the other day.

He has potential but he never ever seemed to learn lessons. And I think for the past 3 or 4 months he hasn't been picking the team in the best interests of Blackburn Rovers, it has been more about making cheap points as you have alluded to in your post. That makes him a self-centred cunt as far as I'm concerned.

I know what the bigger picture (and problem) is Gav, but that doesn't make JDT a 'very good manager'. Maybe his cheeky smile has you hoodwinked.

Ha ha ha! Analogy of the week - take a bow!

Well he'd better learn that it isn't a great idea to go into a live TV interview grinning from ear to ear when your team has just got absolutely dicked by their oldest and fiercest rivals then. He should have been sacked for that alone. And he followed that up with a 4-1 home defeat to the other local rivals.

I don't think anyone is absolving Venkys, just a bit more realism about how good a coach JDT actually is I suppose.
