So this is the best ever Rovers XI without Tugay is it?  Shocked that anyone would have Tosin 8n it, a liane who has played a few games in the 2nd division for us.  For the record my team would be:

Flowers

Price

le Saux

Moran

Hendry

Ripley

Sherwood

Kendall

Duff

Shearer

Garner

Only including players I’ve watched since 1979.

My earliest of a great individual finish was Simon Garner v Liverpool in the FA cup at Ewood. Back to goal, close control and spun on a 5p as he often did to smash it home. To score a goal like that in a game like that v Liverpool who were dominating football was something else, or so i thought anyway.

Backed up my constant schoolday arguments that Garner was better than Rush ?

Damien Duff and Matty Jansen scored some pearlers as well but one or two of Shearers stand out not surprisingly. QPR thunderbolt from 30 yards that had the bar wobbling for 5 mins afterwards and the volley/half scissor kick v Saints into Bburn end wasn't bad either.

Was that in about 83?  I was there and have tried to find it online but there mustn’t have been cameras there at all.

maybe mine would be either of the 2 volleys against Fulham with MGP getting the slight nod.

I think the main argument for cancelling or playing behind closed doors is about the stretch on emergency service rather than the threat to health.  That’s what the Scottish government are saying anyway after announcing that all events with over 500 people are being closed down from Monday.

What a great effort that was in last half hour. We’re really lacking in ideas going forward but made up for it with determination to get a result which is good to see.

Frustrating to lose 2 points with a cheeky dive but then again I didn’t think ours was a penalty either so fair enough I suppose.

The Fall - No X mas forJohn Quays 

That’s a ssssslllllloooooowwwww team

The Final Countdown is a tired cock-rock anthem but unfortunately we’ve been saddled with it for years and it does bring back some happy memories.  I would go back to The Irish Rover and then a blast of By Gum We’ll Mek it a Day before kick off.

The Fall - My New House

I don’t think Rovers have any say in iFollow’s pricing apart from as 1 of many EFL clubs who made a deal with them to screen games.  

In reply to the original question, I would be hostile towards them but I think they should come and show face anyway as owners.

The Fall - No X-Mas for John Quays

Play 2 up front then and abandon this lone striker pish.  Armstrong with 1 another to play off would work well.  We have Graham and Gallagher who are perfect for the centre forward position.

After watching yesterday’s game I think we should be prioritising a left back and a right winger and then play Armstrong up front in a 442 with Gallagher or Graham.  Move into a formation which suits our players and which they’ll be comfortable with.  Downing can play on the left with 2 in centre midfield.

Looks like Preston about to sign Scott Sinclair from Celtic. 

Good signing, will do well in this league. Not played much this season though I don’t think.

Just shows what a huge contributions Rovers have made over 130 years, very proud.

Most surprising thing about this is the extent to which English football is dominated for most of it’s history by 3 clubs, Everton, Villa and Sunderland. It’s only in the post 1970 era that they have slipped back and been replaced by the teams we now regard as the giants.  Interesting.  I was always aware that these had been huge clubs but npt to this extent.  

The Fall - Time Enough at Last

Got to say that Gallagher and Brereton were woeful today. Gally has the touch of an elephant and Ben contributes nothing to the team. What a poor return for £12m.  On the other hand Downing and Armstrong were excellent.  Both goals were really poor from us, no challenge as people just ran through and shot as well as weak goalkeeping.  Overall ..... a pish result which more or less ends our season right here.

Is it not routine when there are 2 areas for away fans that you would release the tickets for the second section once the first is, or almost is, sold out?  Bizarre conspiracy theories from their lot really.  I can’t believe that some would choose not to go to a game because of the location of their seat, sounds like excuse making from folk who weren’t going anyway to me.

That game against Liverpool when Tugay ran the game and left Gerrard for dead for the winner was pretty special as well.
