Hey SR... Is that the pub you were asked to leave last time I was up north ?
Im also going to the Boxing day test, Days 1 and 3 so any rovers supportes in town would be good to meet up...
Any one remember the 5 - 1 victory there late 80's.... someone hit me in the head with a housebrick when the 4th goAL WENT IN... OH HAPPY MEMORIES... i think
same result would be good!
while a win away would be nice, Id be happy to get a solid unbeaten run together, nice little 6 or 7 games unbeaten.. so I'd happily settle for a draw... I'll go 1 - 1... Lucas Neill (well why not)
Much as I respect what he has done to raise the profile of football over here in Oz..
LES MURRAY... you are crap as a commentator... please dont do it again
totally (well almost) off the topic but with bolton having to play brum twice in their last 10 or so games reminded of the promotion season (80/81 ?) when we played Bury in our last 2 games of the season.. won away 2 - 1 (to gain promotion) then lost 2 -1 at home.... cant remember how it worked out that way but we did have a decent cup run that season..
its on at 10:45pm on SBS.....
originally SBS had planned to show both semis live with no delays, guess they didnt think it would be a stupid kick off time in the UK so now they are delaying it by 2 hours, im guessing so as not to clash with AFL, NRL etc on the commercial channels
must have been the crap beer you guys were drinking, i stuck to the trusty VB all night and felt right as rain.....
look foward to catching up with you all again
okay the kick off time is pathetic EXCEPT for us based down in Oz who usually get treated to 2am or 4am kick offs..
semi will kick off 9:15pm on a saturday night down here, and its live on normal (ie not pay) tv, couldnt be btetter
every cloud has a silver lining as they say
I fully intend to last the entire night and happily weave my way home at around 6 am after the bolton norwich match.... so its a question of pacing myself carefully... oh sod that, lets just go hard
PG
Lats time i was there it was pretty much all CUB with a few irish /english ales thrown in (tetleys and killkenny spring to mind)..
anyhow Ill proabaly watch the liverpool match there on thursday morning so will give afull update on beers by friday !
blueboy...
dont suppose you can bring a tape of the burnley match(es) back with you ?? we could even get the charles dickens to show them as a warm up for the arse game...
