Yep...its a long story...some don't like it. Our knuckle dragging friends actively discourage their academy lads from participating.....I've banned their scouts👍 Most other actively encourage it...especially the nobbers in Lancashire more than any other club... In our age groups now are players who play for Utd, Everton, Nobbers, Notlob, a couple of the lesser ones like Morecambe and Accy.....its a very good standard of football without the sanitisation of academy football....Good players who aren't at academies get to compete against lads that are.....I love it.

I just always remember pushing my dad's.😄

He won't be driving a Vauxhall Viva either 🙄

I know people who do that commute for probably a tenth of his wages...and they don't do 9.30 to 2.00 either. Mogadon is very privileged to be in the position he is, to complain when the country is in the plight it is suggest a very selfish person. The journalists fawning over him.should call it out....the crookes

That guy reads this place and reports it as his own. Roverandout is spot on..👍

Oh, so don't play him if he's on 10k, but if he's taken a pay cut he can? Can the club stoop much lower.? Bennett should be decent and feck off

I'm sure his surname had no part in his progression either 🙄

Don was heavily supported by TP. Its gone tits up since Tony left really. Legend

Barnsley have had an exciting time

The cast off last season is better than anyone in our entire academy. Just saying . I hope the lads are in for trials. There's a lot of decisions made now on all sorts of things....right now is when our scouts should be all over the released players from all over.

Tripped over the cow pat in the fog....

Aye, I see Joshua left his principles at the door when the coin turned up...very vocal about how black people are persecuted over the last 12 months, obviously doesn't give a shit about women, gay people and Turkish journalists. Knob. Hope Fury gives him a good hiding

I know a couple of good lads just been released by the nobbers.....and I'm being serious. Hopefully Princey will get them in...👊

Seems a bit odd to spend the letter protesting and then say it's not a protest. Fairly insulting to them really telling them how badly they've fucked up. That should get a reply🙄

Too clever for me pal. Well done 👍

Grayson released. Wonder where he will turn up🙄

Go on, that's too much of a tease....

That's Oliver. He was my keeper too. His dad is a nice chap.. was big into his cricket...I did not know he was a Rovers fan.😆 That's 2 Rovers fans signing Pro with the nobbers....I don't know who the other 2 support....one is Haslingden so might also be a Rovers fan...

When will the next James Beattie, Matty Derbyshire, David Dunn, Paul Gallagher, Phil Jones(another of my lads) come through....? We win these shitty academy leagues but no real players come through anymore from the area.

I understand grassroots is difficult to scout. Rep football isn't, people like me have done most of the work for them. They just need to turn up and watch....🙄 don't get me wrong there are local Rovers scouts you just don't see them as much as others.

Even the lads that don't make County level are very good, or had a bad trial etc... My view is that our scouts should be watching District games every week and they are not. PNE are very close to district football they give Preston support and watch their games....Blackburn & Darwen no longer play district football really...such a shame as it was always very strong in my day. The highest level of football available to children outside of academy football.

Ok mate, sorry. Representative football. District and County...I run a District and manage at County level too...and we have a shit hot County mate you should be proud. The 3 lads represented the same district and county. 👍 Lancashire La La La......Lancashire La La La.....

My my my Hoochie....why why why Hoochie

No🙄😄

I've told you about our shit local scouting . Nobody believes me.
