Tyrone Shoelaces

He was also involved in beginning the move in centre field if my memory serves me well.

Is Rudi pulling his old boots on then ?

Not the same player as Mercer and myself were discussing.

Hutch was a good ‘un, he gave many a good player a hard time. However I remember Eamon Rogers playing as an emergency right back and keeping him relatively quiet in another night match at Ewood. That was Eamon, he could have been anything he wanted to be. If ever a player lost his way.

It’s obvious really.

And then show them the running track.

You could, and England and Rovers did, play Keith Newton in either full back position, it didn’t matter which. He could jockey a winger and put a tackle in with either foot. None of this “ Oh, it’s on his wrong foot shit that you hear today.

Whatever happened to players who could do both ? Go outside and inside.

Skeeter Davis - The End Of The World

Creedence Clearwater Revival - Bad Moon Rising

The Jefferson Aiplane - If You Feel Like China Breaking

James Ray - If You Gotta Make A Fool Of Somebody

Gloria Jones - Tainted Love

Jimmy Reed - Honest I Do

I wouldn’t be playing JRC at the moment. Is Weimann ready for a start ? Also I don’t think starting both of Gueye and Ohashi is possible at the moment. Neither of them has much more than an hour in their legs. I’d start with Gueye and hold Ohashi back. I think Dolan has played himself out of a starting role on Saturday, maybe time to give Siggy a whirl there. He looked more focussed in that cameo he had.

Or Sammi playing his heart out at Leicester with both legs strapped.

Wilson Pickett - In The Midnight Hour

It’s funny how Markanday put in two cracking goal scoring corners yesterday for Chesterfield. Did he ever take them for us ?

Why, were you in goal ?

I keep saying this but Brian Clough said - “ Nobody can lose you a game quicker than your goalkeeper so sign the best one you can get “ . That was after people questioned him paying a record fee to sign Peter Shilton. He was right then and he’s still right now.

You could well be right about his ability but my point was if he is successful he’ll be off next season. We’ll never be able to build a team as long as the Chicken Chokers are calling the shots because they sell every decent player we get.

That was the game. It’s still handy having a midfield player who can carry it from your half to their half at speed. None of Tronstad, Travis or JRC can do that.

It doesn’t work quite like that at Rovers. In the very unlikely event of us spending £6 million on a striker and he has a good season he’ll be off next August - see Sammi. If he doesn’t have a good season he’ll hang around like a bad smell - see Gally.

Stupid play. Like Buckley getting three games for bouncing the ball on an opponents head. Mindless shit. He’d got his chance of playing again after being out of the team for a while. Then he goes and does that and he’s out of the team again !

Did Reed play ? I saw he was on the bench.
