the three that went up and came straight back down did so because they were far to open and tried to out play superior opponents,there was no plan to grind out games and thus they were all cut apart in 75% of the games they played in st vincent kompanies burnley were a case in question,it`s absolute folly to try and outpass a superior footballing side,you will lose every week and when you start losing that badly ,it`s very hard to turn it round

my dad was team mates with gordon taylor when they were both in the reserves at bolton in the early 60`s,he was said he was a right big headed w*****r!!!,franny lee was also in and about the reserves due to his varying levels of fitness!!!! and they had a small lad called alan ball coming through the ranks,who they rather stupidly released,stating he was to small😁

spurs and man utd lucky that the three promoted clubs are terrible and got their approach to staying in the premier league completely wrong,any other season and we could have seen two massive clubs plunging into the championship🤣frankly both of them are embarrasing

woodman is about as much use as pears (absolute *****) and riis has`nt been the same player since his injury,hardly compares with travis,sonny and brittain,who are all approaching the peak of their careers

despite how seemingly parsimonious they are with the money,ridsdale and the hemmings family at least run the club properly,they would`nt be letting their 3 best players run their contracts down

if we are recruiting from the lower leagues(nothing wrong with that if the player is young,open to improvement and a potential sell on) when i would`nt mind seeing kwame poku from peterborough here,going to be a list of clubs after him though unfortunately for us

our midfield is going to be stacked next year😀what you construe it to stacked with is completely up to you,the rest of the forumites!!!!!!!!

i think he found his level at chesterfield tbh

good luck mr cairney,you`ll need it working with this lot of planks,one bit of advice,don`t be good at the job,thats a sure way to get sacked here at rovers😁

the non promotion project enters it`s 14th year,maybe they won`t need the annual january **** it up phase this year

he is`nt dropping to our payscale

they never fail to amaze me with their complete disregard for their target market,are they just being complete ***** and hate the fans or have they just got an i.q of 50

emil riis expected to leave preston as his contract is up,while he`s not been the same player since his bad injury,he definately is worth picking up for free

about the noise problem,holt should bung them all a fat brown envelope,problem solved,thats how all councils work

big part of charltons play off push,out of contract in june,which suits us,however,other clubs after him which will most likely rule us out,don`t think he`ll rock up here when our contract offer is 5 pints of mild and a free chicken vindaloo

ref wants to be the centre of attention,did`nt need to send him off,that said,dickie is slower than kyle mcfadzean🙂

i hope gilsenen gets a club and starts afresh,though if the club thought he could get 100% fit in the unrelenting championship i don` think they`de have released him him,think barnes will now drop into non league,cruel game football

poor gilsenen the same as the unfortunate sam barnes,talented players but their careers blighted by injury,don`t think barnes has played at all this season

last game of the season 1982 ,couple of mates and our dads legged it through an emergency gate at the back of the blackburn end,followed by two coppers,who did`nt want any of the "action!!!!!!!"

1980`s,when a visit from chelsea had you reaching for clean underpants and every local headcase in the area seemed to mobilise 🙂

depends on how much the club offer him bearing in mind he`s 34 but mostly always fit,can likely can do another 2 seasons and he`s a leader on the pitch,i would say it`s very important to keep him here,certainly more so than hedges ,who is only any use a sub and has a terrible injury record wether the cupid stunts upstairs see it that way is another matter,that lot are more likely to offer him a pittance and slate him in the press when he ***** off

im`e not dolans biggest fan but he`s far better than markanday,who is likely the one to replace him

is that when we played bury twice in a week i, remember my dad telling me that rovers fans basically took over gigg lane and nearly broke the wooden stand because it was shaking under the all the fans jumping up and down☺️,crawford got the winner did`nt he????

the players are already being flogged to death as well (that amazingly silly world club cup for one) so no idea how long a football career will be in ten years time,they won`t be getting 2 months off in the summer thats a certainty

spurs vs arsenal in australia villa vs notts forest in north africa man utd vs liverpool in saudi arabia fans ar`nt relevant anymore,we are only there for the sound effects on match day and being milked for the expensive merchandise in the next decade some c.e.o will try and market the game to even an even bigger level,building a stadium for corporate clients only,you know it`s coming
