Tyrone Shoelaces

The BBC Gossip column reports that the dingles are in for another young winger to add to their collection. Kompany is obviously planning to be the first manager to field a team completely composed of young wingers.

Rogers and Knighton - two top players there. Funny Sheff Wed kit. It brought back some memories though. I used to play for a team that wore that kit.

We Five - You Were On My Mind

I agree. I think it was a harsh decision but that doesn’t seem to cut any ice these days. They’ll back the ref. I thought their guy made a meal of it but Wharton gave him the chance. Not a great decision by Wharton to be honest. He should have let the guy go, we’re 3-0 up, cruising, and there’s nothing say their guy would have scored anyway.

Conway Twitty - It’s Only Make Believe

Getting the man as well was a plus.

I can’t see an appeal being worthwhile in todays climate.

Thanks for that.

Mm, I’d say that tackle fitted into the “ reckless “ category. When I was clearing dinosaur shit off the pitch before we could play that would have been a perfectly good tackle and “ play on “.

Who wanted Pears at that time ? You can only sell if you have a buyer.

Would you be appealing the red card if you were JDT ?

The thing about playing that position is you’ve got to be really disciplined in possession of the ball. You need to hold your position and not get giddy when you’ve got the chance to gallop away downfield with the ball. Lose it and you’re way out of position. Find a blue and white shirt with the ball and then keep sensing possible danger.

It is nowadays unfortunately.

The sending off was harsh but that’s modern football unfortunately. Go to ground like that and you’re asking the ref to make a decision. Back in the day if you got the ball like that it wouldn’t have even been a free kick. Things have changed. I’m afraid. I can’t see the club appealing to be honest. Great finish by Dolan for the first goal. Two great finishes from Sami, the second one especially was a lot easier to miss than it was to score.

Great bit of marking there. Six players marking nobody.

The lads that should be playing are with the first team squad. It’s crazy playing both games on the same day.

It appears he’s playing with an injury at the moment. Not that you’d know that watching him out on the pitch. Todays third goal was a lovely touch.

We let George go to Accy for peanuts then watched him make a good career working his way back up the leagues as an excellent centre forward.

The Cup Final squad. I hope they didn’t play in those new boots.

It’s game like that one that make you wonder.

It picks itself really. Unless we can trust Ennis with more than a ten minute cameo.

Only the Chicken Chokers are that stupid.

Evie Sands - Take Me For A Little While

My first game was Rovers v Sheff Utd at Ewood. It was a beautiful autumn Saturday afternoon and Ewood looked great. Unfortunately we lost 1-2 and it wasn’t a great game but I was hooked. Sept 30th 1961. Rovers 1 - Sheff Utd 2. Scorer- Ian Lawther Att. 16,677 Rovers Team Else. Bray, Newton. Clayton, Woods, McGrath. Crowe, England, Lawther, Douglas, Haverty.

3 penalties in game back them ! That was something. You had to be caught taking the lace out or cutting somebody in half to get a penalty then.
