Curtis Mayfield - Move On Up

Indeed. Brittain looks like another one made of glass. We’ve had way too many of this type of player over the past few years.

Get well soon Duncan

If those two have come to that decision it just shows what a state we are in at the minute Tony. Hopefully they will regret skipping it when you are describing the 4th and 5th goals to them later 😉

The Poets - Baby Don’t You Do It

The Small Faces - Grow Your Own

I’ll probably get some stick for this but I’d much rather see Burnley get promoted than Watford, Swansea or some other southern or Welsh lot. And nobody can say they don’t deserve it either - with just one notable aberration they have made this league look the tinpot affair that it is.

I see the retired pope has died. I wonder if they’ll have a minutes silence at Ibrox before the Old Firm game on 2nd Jan? 😂😱 On the day he got elected as pope I was at a dinner with members of the board of the organisation I worked for at the time. I said “I knew the German had won when I saw the beach towel draped over the balcony at St Peters”. The elderly board member sitting opposite laughed so much her false teeth popped out and fell in her soup!!

That’s pretty much how I saw it as well, and I’ve been teetering towards the JDT out camp.

Could you imagine a United player getting sent off at Old Trafford for that or a Liverpool player at Anfield? What a fucking joke

RIP - certainly among the top 3 or 4 players ever to kick a ball. In my lifetime I think Maradona was better but now is perhaps not the time for that debate. A life well lived sir 👏🏿👏🏿✊🏿

The Small Faces - Song Of a Baker

There are plenty of knobheads on both sides of the divide to be fair.

I became a grandad for the first time just before Christmas, and his dad (my son) has already promised that he will be brought up as a Celtic AND Rovers fan, which is all I can really ask. The main thing is he is a healthy boy, Rory of the Rovers 💙🤍

The Zombies - Care of Cell 44

I had a wander round Blackburn town centre for the first time in decades just before Christmas. I must say that despite feeling rather disoriented by all the changes I do like what they have done with the shopping centre and markets. The Cathedral quarter also looks good. I know us oldies often crave for the old days, and I’m no different, but credit where it is due.

Ocean Colour Scene - Up On the Down Side

The Who - Smash the Mirror

I was going to say, if you’d taken most of the decent centre forwards who played amateur and semi pro football when I did and given them 5 games for Rovers first team, they would have acquitted themselves better than Hirst has.

The Jam - Little Boy Soldiers

John Martyn - I Don’t Wanna Know

The Jam - Away From the Numbers

The Drifters - On Broadway

What on earth have you seen in Hirst that gives you any faith in him? He plays in the position I did many years ago and to my eye he lacks even the fundamentals of a decent centre forward (one of which is bravery, another is the ability to hold the ball up). He surely has to be sent back to Leicester in January (if we can)

The Police - I Can't Stand Losing You
