If it takes relegation to be be able to watch my beloved Rovers more often, then so be it.

You have got to be kidding right? huh.gif

Either that or you have completely justified my earlier point about small town mentalities.

lol. ive just realsied that i actually went to more games in div 1 than i did any other season since the 95/96 season.

Having said that, im a student in Leeds and last season only managed the one game - at Elland Rd.Gutted that fixtures gone. My main reason for not going isnt price of this particular match, when i next go to Ewood it will probably when there is a game i feel iwill enjoy the most- Im thinking the Bolton game- a close one with the fans passionate to win. However if i hadnt had to wait till today for the old student loan i would have preferred to go to Cardiff,as i would have preferred to stand.

could be worse, at least were not at home to exeter

Got to agree , nice having a bit of steel at the back once more.On another note is it me or is matteo looking more like private pile (spl) from full metal jacket

haha now you mention it yes!!! beautiful!

Is Ansy Coles pad in Wilmslow on the market? hell probably move there...

i would say anyone that writes and performs their own music is clearly better than those who only perform it. Spice girls are actresses rather than musical figures.

not a great draw imo, wonder if Sparky will get a cheer.

interesting to see the lad i used to play in the same team at school has got a trip to Stamford Bridge

Scunthorpe United at home please. An ex schoolmate plays for them and id like to see them get a premiership club away, and id like to see Andy Todd rough him up a bit.

Agree Thompson should start if Reid is suspended, but would be nice to at least see MGP at some part during the game..

hopefully in the last ten minutes when were several goals up

can imagine its not too great if youre sat near it but i like it if your not sat in the same stand, adds atmosphere. i used to live near sheffield and used to go when rovers were in the city, i always admired the brass band. couldve done a few more tunes mind, they shouldve listened to more 70s ska.

I am not, but just thought it was quite interesting of a club(especially being in the prem) to have a neutral section.Do any other clubs have this?I know in Rugby Union international(dont know about rugby league cause i dont watch that rubbish) the whole stadium is neutral

In Germany each club has another club to wich they have some sort of alliance. i forget most of them but FC Bayerns is Koln for example, and scarfs are available with both teams on etc. I have witnessed Koln vs Bayern and they have massive areas that are neutral, all kinds of pre and post match entertainment and general merriment. Shame they cant pull it off in England, wonder whos Rovers would be?

1-1

Emerton for us

dorke for them

have you seen who theyve got watching this on sky? and his feelings about the penalty?

Burberry Intertnational must be seriously considering pulling their merchandise given the label it's got.

i read in marketing week (this week??) that they are stopping producing the cap with the traditional pattern!

Dahlin and baggio deserve a look in.

On Radio Lancs it said that Matteo missed the game because of injury and he would most likely be in contention for next week's match.

sky sports news has just reported hell miss the norwich game.

Paul Warhurst

definately my vote for 'roves best all time utility player' lol. seem to remember him playing all over the park, but mostly on the bench.

how old is he? one of my old schoolmates was sent down, came back a new (much harder) player and is currently ripping things up in the third division.....

Le Saux, no question about it.

probably Berg.

I want to say Mark Atkins (used to live near him, nice bloke) but unfotunately cant...

i think someone mentioned toshack, good idea but i think he may have had some problems recently in his personal life.

as for Hitzfeld, he did an amazing job at Bayern, im not sure he would want to come to Rovers, he did seem very proud of his position at FC Bayern.

As for Shearer, yes please. After recent games decisions i am SURE image is now everything in football. Shearer has a great image within the media, even though a lot of players hate him. I think with the world watching, it would be a great move. Maybe then referees would not spend the last 15 mins of our games against the bigger clubs (Utd anyone?) worrying that its their fault the unfancied side is ahead and making ridiculous decisions.

i also remember Shearer being able to win Penalties.

What would the situation be with regards to compensation etc if we did sign him? Would Newcastle be due any if he was taken on as Manager only?? Could we try a sneaky one and try and get a season on the field out of him?

As for Parkes, id love to see him given a shot, he totally deserves it. However i would hate to see him ever have to leave the club, and obviously if it didnt work out he would have to go.... i imagine hes thought of this, as has Williams.

Houllier is a definate no no. Liverpool have the support to fund paying wasters. We dont.

@ lathund

i backed your boys to win this tournament, i couldn't really explain why but now i've read your post it sums it up perfectly.

@english people

i am half english half german. i follow germany in terms of sporting teams and events, and my reason for this is the ridiculous attitude taken towards sport, especially football, in this country. most of the english people i have spoken to about these championships told me they thought that germany seriously had a chance. now i can tell you i have been VERY surprised by germanys performances over this tournament, but not in the same way as the critics - im stunned that we managed to produce football of the sheer quality that we have (first half vs holland, second vs czech). if you've seen some of the crap games wave endured for the last two years that was a serious step forward. i will admit i thought the only team to go through we could have beaten was the danes, so i was hoping sweden would beat them..

what im trying to say in a strange sort of way is get over it, England did not invent football, your team is not, and has no right to be (as do NO other teams) permanently in the top ten rankings, and not only are some of the things the football related media say extremely inaccurate, a lot of them are quite xenophobic as well. i hope you beat Portugal, and Sweden get to stuff you.
