Mercer, I’m sure you’re right about Burke, but at the time it didn’t seem good. P.S. I have withdrawn my rather childish comment at the end.

This was the season we missed out on promotion on goal difference to Swansea. The Nobbers game was the third draw on the bounce, which ended 0-0. I was at this game and I remember thinking at the time that we were very subdued considering the importance of needing to win, especially in a local derby. My friends and I were feeling pretty low after the game and decided to have a drink in the Red House, near the Darwen boundary, as we knew the owner. About an hour later, who should walk in but some Rovers players including Jim Branagan, David Hamilton and Marshall Burke. They ordered some drinks and were sat there laughing and joking, especially Burke, as if they were just on a night out. It was then that I realised that playing football was just a job for them, whereas for us supporters it was a way of life. Some 40 years on it seems that some things never change, playing football is only a way of earning a living. It’s only us, the supporters, who feel the pain.

To me, the main reason, apart from the inability to beat the first defender, is all the shenanigans that go on in the box i.e. shirt pulling, man marking/blocking off etc. Clamping down on this non- football related nonsense is way overdue. My solution to this and other things like the “taking one for the team” cynical fouls would be to sin bin the offenders for 10 minutes like they do in rugby. Surely it’s worth a try.
