Subbed off right after half time according to the BBC.

I was quite surprised that Pickering didn’t get a move. After all we have DeNeve as a back up left back.

He’s their human shield. In those terms he’s been quite successful.

My mates wife worked in our local store and she would agree with that.

My breaking point was when they appointed Coyle. Not because he was an ex-dingle but because he’d been an abject failure in every job he’d had since leaving them. An unfathomable appointment ! I knew in my bones that relegation was on the cards from that moment. I did as little as possible concerning Rovers after that, to the extent of just looking at the scores at 5.00 pm on Saturday and that was it. They didn’t get another penny from me. I felt like a weight had been lifted off my shoulders. Then a few years ago one of my grandsons started to take an interest in football and Rovers in particular. So he’s dragged me back in. That’s my excuse. How long this will last for is another question.

This more than Travis leaving is the “ Ken Knighton “ moment for me. The time we run the white flag up the flag pole.

I’ll have my hankies at the ready.

You leave your integrity at the door when you sign on as a professional footballer

It’s not so much losing Hyam as the sheer lunacy of the timing.

That’s the only one I’m not bothered about. What’s he ever done in the time he’s been here ? If the kid from Iceland isn’t an improvement I’ll eat my hat.

We just go from one disastrous decision to another. Have they ever got anything right in 15 years ? If every time they came to a decision they just tossed a coin they’d at least get some of them right !

Sound like you need the “ Dart Player “ size.

It’ll be like the first game of the Rugby League season at my club. There are so many comings and goings in the close season that she always takes a sheet with the players photos and names on it so she knows who they are !

Who know’s, it certainly sounds like it.

I was going to say a grenade with the pin out but I don’t want a visit from PC Plod.

He never rated Hyam and Leonard in the first place and Miller will step up at centre half. The lad from Iceland is a massive improvement on Leonard ( that bit’s true ) so what is everybody bitching about again ?

Yeah, It should have been half a house brick.

It’d be a sure vote winner for them - if they could be bothered.

It’s the timing of it. He wouldn’t get in my best 25 Blackburn Rovers centre halves but without a replacement it’s a crazy deal. Especially when the fee is minuscule and will just disappear.

Chuck Berry - Sweet Little Rock And Roller

4 year deal ! At least he has a good agent !

What odds did you get ?

He’s nowhere near ready.

The one you missed is John Curtis.
