Yeah,they met at drama school when they were young so they've been together a long time.

Another great drama written by Jimmy McGovern,one interesting fact that i read today was Hannah Walters who played Stephen Graham's wife in it is his actual wife in real life,i love finding out little titbits like that.

He's probably thinking he's got the Lincoln job for a few years if he wants to stay there and if he goes to WBA and doesnt get them back up quickly he'd be back out of a job in 18 months time.

I get the feeling Southgate probably knows if he messes up the tournament he's most likely out as coach so i can only see him going ultra conservative and trying to scrape his way through to the final. I think we'll get out of the group then the first team we come up against with a class forward we'll lose as they make mincemeat of our defence,nothing more i'd like to see that us win something if only for the boost for the country after the shit we've gone through the last year.I hope i'm wrong but thats the way i see it going.

I'm no good at waiting these days,if i know i can watch them all at once i do it. Inside no 9 is frustrating as they are only showing them once a week instead of releasing them all at once on iplayer.I'd recommend it to anybody thats not seen it,all 6 series are top class.

They don't like it up em!!

We have just endured a season of Mowbrayisms then we say lets forget what we had to watch and relax and watch England only to have to put up with a Mowbray clone in Southgate.

I don't know if Mowbray would want Kane,can he play right winger ?

Bit of a shambles in South America at the moment.Copa America is supposed to start in 2 weeks.Originally it was awarded to Columbia and Argentina as co-hosts but Columbia were stripped as hosts back on 20th of May because of widespread protests against the government there then yesterday Argentina were also stripped because of a covid surge in the country. Guess what wise thing Conmebol(South American equivalent of UEFA) have done........they've awarded it to Brazil,that'll be the country were protests were staged on Saturday against the President whose done a worse job the Boris at handling the covid crisis,460.000 deaths and 16 million covid cases so far.The mind boggles to why strip Agrentina to give it to a country in worse state.

I read today that De Gea has now failed to stop the last 36 penalties taken against him,if Ole was a good manager he would know this and should have subbed De Gea before the penalty shoot out.

If only we could transfer in international football.I'd transfer one of our right backs for one of France's Centre Halfs,they have about 8 that are better than anything we have.

Destroying is too hard a word,i'd go for disrupting rather than Destroying football to the point where you need to check replays before you can really celebrate a goal where it's used,the thing thats destroying football is the money difference between the Premiership and the rest of football.

In over 30 years of being a Rovers fan i don't think i've looked forward to a season any less than i am next season at the moment.Terrible manager in place,top goalscorer likely to have been sold,most likely we'll be helping premiership clubs again filling up our team with young loanees still learning how to play the game that we have no chance of buying.I can't see anything other than midtable mediocrity at best coming up again.

Keith Hill fired at Tranmere after getting them into the playoffs while our owners seem happy with a 15th place finish.

Little Barnsley are preparing for the playoffs,theyre probably waiting to see what division they'll be in next season,i doubt he'll want a new challenge if theyre in the Premiership.

He's going nowhere imo.I'd love to be wrong but as every day goes by i can see him less and less being potted by the chicken chumpsters.Get ready for a new 3 year deal being announced and this board going into meltdown.

Government telling fans not to travel to Turkey for the final.Turkey now on the red list,will be interesting to see what UEFA decide now there will be little fans from the two teams there for the final.

I still don't know why Jimmy Nesbitt ended up just being a pic and he wasnt even in it.Is he a friend of Jed and helping him establish a red herring or is there something coming in series 7 if they carry on with it.

Going into the final day needing 129 more runs with 8 wickets left,avoiding any collapses it should be another win hopefully.

It's not enough people getting worked up that should be the problem,as more and more people get a lack of passsion developing for Rovers due to the club's owners keeping a substandard manager in the job we are looking at a club sleepwalking into obscurity.

When do we play the Yorkies? looks like that game could sort out top spot in the division.

Depending on results during the week we could relegate them by beating them next week.

Back when i first started supporting Rovers back in 88/89 crowds were averaging just under under 9k and i can see similar next season if the Teesside Tit is still in charge.

If Blackpool make the playoffs i wouldn't mind another Lancashire team in the Championship.

Looking likely that Hull and Peterborough will be 2 of the 3 teams coming up,quite a change for Peterborough going from getting knocked out of the FA Cup by Chorley to getting promotion to the Championship.
