Just make sure I am not involved, I would likely be banned for life.

I for one will be very pleased if we can play like that till the end of the season. I don't think we were dirty, nothing malicious, just good old fashioned hard nosed footy and a ref who let it go for the most part. I think we will see Chelsea start to lose a few games last night and Moanrihno will be partly to blame. No one this year, that I have seen, has got after Chelsea like we did, everyone seems to sit back as if they are afraid, they let them play. Now, not only was it evident on the pitch but the fact that Hose A made the comments he did reinforced the fact that his squad of mega millions players are not up to that style of play. Watch as more teams adopt that against them now.

I'll still argue that point, I remember it like it was yesterday and the clarrots started out singing it as "till we play" Nothing surer in my mind. I rmemeber the clarrot fan coming to school and reciting it to me the day after it was first sang on the turf, remember it like it was yesterday. Even remember the lads name. Remember thinking at the time, typical @#/?s (yes WE called THEM that back then) the song doesn't even make sense, what's this TILL stuff?

Rubbish, what you mean is you can not admit you were wrong. Great players don't suddenly become crap over a couple of months (Injuries excepted). He's been lacking fundamentals forever, getting by with spectacular reflex saves. Now those are going, and have been for some time, he does not have much left to offer since his basics are dodgy. I mentioned this over and over starting early last season but you would not have it would you, well if it makes you feel better we can all pretend it's only been recent, after all "what can a yank know about footy" (even though I am not) Enjoy your pie, you know, the humble one.

Bit contradictory isn't it, the Chelsea player should have gone for such retaliation, no doubt in my mind. But find a ref who has the balls to send off a "big three" player in the last minute and give a penalty that might change the outcome of the game, you won't

Just watched the game, skipped through most of the posts on here. Disagree with the naysayers, don't think MGP was that good, isn't a winger supposed to take people on. Didn't think Neill was that bad, thought Thompson stunk, for the most part. Emerton? see MGP. Thought we played very well first half and quite well second, lacking the quality up front that is for sure. Also saddened by not going for it all out attack, nothing to lose there was there? Think Freidal has seen better days (still) The thing that put the biggest smile on my face, Nelsen and Mokoena, if those two can perform like that week in week out we should be OK very very impressed with the both of them. Will Savage be taking our penalties now? I just knew Paul would miss he tried to place it but he telegraphed it too. Oh well. We need to find a way to score, all the fantastic work at the back will all be for nought if we don't.

Sam, you surprise me, admitting that on here.

Shove it where the sun doesn't shine. Gally on the bench, bring him on 15-20 mins left, that is when he seems to do well. He never seems to have a good game starting but coming on as a sub he just about always has an impact. Too bad it's on the Beeb, I think that means it is unlikely to be on over here, it seems to me they only show the games that are on sky, ######.

I have only just learned that Fergupussy refused to play. What a complete moron. He has no idea what he has done he will always be seen as the little tosspot who could not hack it in the Big Leagues. Enjoy your handful of competitive games in Scotland you wimp.

Of course I can - hence my post, just a little more banter Of course I don't recall any cases of Burnley fans appearing in court for racially abusing a player so not sure its kettles and pots exactly Deleted, tasteless post, I won't rise to it.

It's true Gav the 3-1 scoreline was the day t'clarrots had 110,000 at Ewood with 30,000 locked out and another 25,000 unable to make it cos of problems with the trains. What a delusional bunch.

You must be on about the Kings Head, Mucky Duck too I think there are a few. Not been there in over 20 years used to frequent it once in a while when I lived near LA but it's a bit of a drive from Arizona

He won't be wanting to play in the Championship.

Buggar Ferguson, what about our team. We have lost a decent player and we have done absolutley nothing to strengthen our weakest link, very upset over here.

I think we have established on clarets mad that you brought around 3000 to the turf whilst we brought around 7000 to your place. On clarrots mad? well it must be true then. Rovers/Police had the ticket thing sewn up. I know many Rovers fans from home who simply could not get a ticket. As for "sell out" Was the large space in the Woodshed not by design rather than no shows. If I recall you had about a few over 5000 there, or about 1000 fans per goal conceded, which ever way you prefer to look at it. I don't think you will be such a push over this time though, you seem quite steady at the back and we are lightweight up front so you have a legitimate shot at putting two and a half decades of misery behind you.

Fingers crossed you are right.

Buggar, hope he's not going there just to irk Souness. Come on Bellamy you don't want to play up there. Worst case scenario we lose fegie and do not get Bellamy. Also I thought Newcastle were not willing to do a loan deal. Surely GS would not be happy with a loan deal that put's his buddies team an even more distant second in the two team league.

Oh No, we lose, which we well could and we will never hear the end of it. Hope we are up for it, too bad it was not at Ewood.

PLease say it's not true. Not Carew, what will we do. I don't like this fella, sorry I just don't.

Oh lordy lordy this is exciting. I hope we get Bellamy but absolutely NOT with Emo as a makeweight in the deal. Man oh man I hope we can pull this one off. Todd, Dickov, Savage and Bellamy at least then we can all undestand why we are disliked. The song no one likes us and we don't care would be most true if we are climbing the league. Get in there sparky stuff it up Brum again, I've despised them since the stole Jim Smith. Watched Oldham and Bolton today and it looks like Brum may have got themselves a good prospect from us in young Alex Bruce, had a useful game today. I thought Oldham deserved to win too.

First off, let's not be telling each other who is a fan and who isn't. Surely the person who said they would rather see us relegated than get Bellamy was just trying to emphasise his dislike for Bellamy. I dumb way of putting it I'm sure. Can we afford him? Can we afford not to get him? Relegation still looms large the big question mark for me is can Bellamy stay fit. Will we do a part swap for Bazza, don't know but as soon as Souness left I said on this very board it would happen, you heard it here first. I think we can raise the money if tthe deal is structured right and we can dump some of the heavy useless pay packets off our squad. I would love Bellamy to come here the man has pace that is frightening and, as I have said, with Fergie in the same team if we can hold on to him it would be an exciting thing. Go for it Rovers let's rouse some interest and burn those big headed Brummies again. Boy Rovers and Brum could become a bigger grudge match than them and Villa. A big name signing may just help raise a bit of interest around town too, perhaps a few more ticket sales.

Sorry, but being decent in the face of posts including derisory terms like "Jock" and "Jockland" and being told to go away and "eat some haggis", I think I've done well on here thus far. However, none of my terms were derisory. I merely said "the typical English view". What else can I word it like? I suppose I could have said, "the typical view from down South", but Blackburn are an English club, the English papers are writting the stories in question, so the term used was a fair one. I didn't make ONE derisory comment towards England. I have a good mate from London who's a diehard Gooner ... if I slated England I'd have him to answer to! And as for the conspiracy thing ... Ferguson has told Iain King of the Scottish Sun, directly, that "all he wants to do is come home". See my earlier post. He told Viola he wants home, Viola came to us, we acted accordingly. Fair enough Dado, fair enough.

I am getting a bit tired of you Mr Prso. You started out well enough, good intelligent posts but now your true feelings are beginning to shine through. You English this and you English that. Look the deal is dead, supposedly, you can now return to goad your only competition in a two team league, Please. As for Barry Ferguson. I've had a think about this. I am not sure I buy into the "family reasons" thing. Not after the fact that just a few weeks before he had said how happy he was. No, there has been some behind the scenes pot stirring going on. I like the theory someone put forward of Souness' involvement in getting this all kicked off, the timing is right, it really started when the Geordies started sniffing around Boumsong. I would not doubt GS had portrayed to his pal our financial situation and the likelyhood of them getting Bazza at a cut rate fee. Enter Fergies agent telling Bazza it's a done deal and here we go. Oh how much the 'Gers underestimated little homely BRFC, they had no idea of the resolve of our Manager, and I do beleive it is Sparky's determination to keep Fergie that stopped the board from selling, well done Mark Hughes. Through all of this, how do I feel about Ferguson? Disappointed obviously, but I am prepared to accept that he has been led a merry dance by two individuals looking for personal gain. I think Barry is a few french fries short of a happy meal and can easily be swayed and I really am beginning to beleive he has been nothing more than a pawn. I think if Fergie sat down and really thought this out he would realise what has really happened, all theoretical on my part you understand. As for the future, as long as Mark Hughes wants him in the side and he is pulling on the shirt I will back him. Who knows if Sparky gets Bazzas head straight this may turn out to be a blessing in disguise.

Blackburn stated they would only sell ferguson to Rangers.He won't go to Newcastle. Doesn't mean they won't do a SWAP deal to another club though eh? Play on words.

Excellent news. 1) Make sure it is dead dead- no lazarus acts in the summer. 2) Rehabilitate or trade on. Isn't this just what always happens? One club makes a bid. It's turned down. They scrimp and scrape to make an improved "final" offer. It's turned down. They say the deal's dead and usually "It's the player I feel sorry for." Then the player moves two days later for an undisclosed fee. The deal is dead. Frankly, we can both get on with supporting our teams, and maybe Barry can find a new agent ... cause it's obvious Viola started this whole thing off. Looks like the media source who posts on here WAS wrong for once eh? At Ibrox for his medical on Friday? Not a chance. If Fergie fired his Agent and added a little sob PR story about being misled and how victimised he was it might help him save face a bit.
