  1. Brighton deserved to lose because of that hideous kit - that's one of the worst I've ever seen!
  2. Not in the slightest. Rovers supporters of my 'ilk', admittedly rather an ageing one, still think - quite rightly - that it's an affront to the history of our club that we are even in the same division as a tinpot, johnny-come-lately, utter flipping nonentity of an outfit such as "The Hatters".
  3. My mum was from Chorley so we used to visit quite a bit back in the day. We were there one Saturday and the Magpies were playing a league club (I think) in the FA Cup. My older cousin took me along to the match. I was only a nipper, probably the first time I'd been to a match apart from Ewood. We walked to the ground and I said 'Where do we get in?' My cousin proceeded to pick me up, step over a low hedge, and said 'We're in.'
  4. I was watching the Rovers once at White Hart Lane when Shearer was in his pomp. Late on it was 2-2, although we should have been winning. The ball got lumped diagonally from our left back right into the inside right channel, virtually at Shearer's feet. I saw the Spurs fans on the other 3 sides get up as one man and head for the exits, as everyone knew there could only be one result - a Shearer goal and a Rovers win. And so it proved.
  5. There's probably a specialist website for that sort of thing...
  6. I lived in Shepherds Bush once upon a time and I can remember watching Brian Moore on the Saturday lunchtime footy preview programme. The big news was that Rodney Marsh had gone awol and was not expected to play that afternoon because of a row with the manager. I walked round the corner to my local and found Rodney downing what was quite clearly not his first pint. Or last one for that matter. What a geezer!
  7. Raya apparently playing a blinder for Brentford tonight, according to R5. Just saying.
  8. Yes, my mum actually used to say 'I can eat hay with a donkey', now I come to think of it.
  9. And if we do, as my old mum used to say - 'I'll eat hay with a donkey'.
  10. As a 12-13 year old I used to deliver the Evening Telewag , and the Last Sports on a Saturday. I got ten bob a week, Only trouble was we lived 'up Audley', so I used to have to leave Ewood just after half-time to get back to the paper shop to do my Saturday round. It was agony.....
  11. Well, at least the dingles are getting thumped 3-0
  12. As the late, great, Franz Kafka once said: "There is hope. There is infinite hope. But not for us".
  13. Well, that's two minutes of my life I'll never get back
  14. In the early years of the Prem I went to watch Rovers at QPR in a night match. The famous 'bloke behind me' was giving Mark Atkins totally undeserved dog's abuse all through - and then Atko scored. I couldn't help but say to him "Why are you cheering now? You've been slagging him off all the game!" He came out with the old balls about having followed Rovers for years and therefore was entitled to verbally shit on anyone. It got me even more wound-up and I ended up having to be held back from having a pop by my neutral Glaswegian mate. (Most unlike mild-mannered Elvis's behaviour, I can assure you). Next day at work my mate, (who'd never been to a match with me until then) was telling everyone how 'He's a different bloke at the footy - Never seen anything like it - They score and then start fighting one another!"
  15. Agreed. And there's some genuinely piss-poor defending from Rotherham.
  16. I once saw him described in a newspaper as 'The most stitched man in football'. Top bloke as well, by all accounts.
  17. I lived in London for about 30 years and the only place I never went to watch Rovers at was Millwall.
