You can only ride on the back of a tiger for so long before you get eaten.

Beckenbauer at Wharton’s age was the best attacking midfield player I ever saw. He had it all. A real Rolls-Royce of a footballer. Then he decided to drop back into the back four to prolong his career.

I agree with the comparison with Sammi and Andy McEvoy. Both converted midfielders who scored plenty of goals.

Interesting to hear what he had to say about Vince Grella. He did look a decent player when he played but he was always injured - or was he ?

I’ve said it before but 90% of the players who’ve signed recently at Rovers only come here because nobody else is interested. The minute it becomes a two or three horse race it’s over.

More shuffling of the deck chairs on the Titanic.

Yeah, he’s obviously got pace, appears to like a tackle and he gets a great bend on those left wing crosses. I remember watching Pickering’s highlights film before he signed and I don’t think he made one tackle ! Incidentally the Motherwell forwards on the end of those crosses are hopeless.

To anybody who has not watched the extended interview with Steven Warnock I can really recommend it. The bit were he’s discussing the shenanigans at Leeds under that new owner will ring bells for us at Rovers. The downscaling of resources etc. The bit that shocked me the most was the revelation that the Walker Trust forced through the sale of Santa Cruz, Warnock and another player who’s name I forget ( might be Matt Derbyshire ) to make the books look healthier prior to the sale of the club to the Chicken Chokers !

They’re only doing what the Chicken Chokers have been doing for years. Putting the clubs history in the bin.

I watched the first two episodes of “ Spy/Master “ on Saturday night. If you’re a fan of the Cold War era spy thrillers like “ Funeral In Berlin”, “ The Ipcress File “ and “ The Spy Who Came In From The Cold “ this series is a must

I agree about Gally. He’s turned into a non scoring striker. We can’t afford that if we sell Sammi.

And then you woke up.

That’s just football. It’s run by shithouses most of the time.

That was before they ballsed everything up.

He’s had no luck with injuries has he ?

They don’t want Blackburn Rovers putting their head above the parapet. The don’t want the Premier league spotlight shining on them. Once you get that in your head you’ll sleep much more soundly.

Gally didn’t even put his foot through it. Pretty weak effort.

Maybe I’ve missed something. What is the nature of Wharton’s injury ?

JRC I think ? Yeah I’ve watched it loads of times. I was expecting for him to take it up to the goal line, get down on his hands and knees, and head it in !

He’s got more metal in his legs than Douglas Bader. That’s one for the old guys on here.
