When I’d walked from the railway station up to Ewood and back again last night. Then walked from Smithy Bridge station to where I live my bad knee was aching more than a bit ! I’ll have to go in goal and somebody else will have to talk the goal kicks.

The numbers look perfect to me and I was around when we were wearing those shirts.

My rugby league team used to run out to this.

A pal of mine had a saying - You’ve got to win to get a draw at Old Trafford “.

After 13 years and nearly a third of a billion lost I can only assume that things are going to plan. If they aren’t, why have they not done something about it ?

Heh , mine arrived just a minute ago . It’s perfect. Just my fit. All I need now is two new knees and I could be out on the common with the kids again. Thanks to all concerned.

He made his mind up what to do in any given situation very quickly.

Three times the limit ! That’s unforgiveable.

Bryan beat more players and at his usual ambling pace.

Interesting to see Jim Wilkinson’s comments regarding the gate at the game the day before on Good Friday. 14,361 as against 11,451 on the Saturday. We played Sheffield Wednesday and we won in a canter, 3-0. Byrom 1 and McEvoy 2 the scorers. One of Andy’s was a really acrobatic volley. Fred Pickering even had time to miss a penalty. He was up against England keeper Ron Springett. Ron had the technique of not standing in the centre of the goals but about a yard to one side, leaving a bigger gap on the side of his dominant right hand. He was daring the taker to go for the bigger gap. I’ve never seen another goalkeeper do it. Fred went for the big gap and Springett saved it with ease.

Erroll Brown And Hot Chocolate - You Sexy Thing Slight cheat but needs must.

That’s more like it, but I might have Dolan in instead of Szmodics. I think the 3 in midfield is essential.

Most people just open the door.

I was there that day. Right behind the goals at the Darwen End. I had a Birds Eye view. It’s still the best goal I’ve ever seen at Ewood Park. Even the West Brom players applauded him. I wonder how many of the 11,500 are still with us ?

Norwich ended up with no starting centre halves on the pitch apparently and yet we still didn’t capitalise.

Tim Rose And The Leaves - Morning Dew

The Rolling Stones - Take It Or Leave It

If anybody gets Rovers up it’ll be magic. Overcoming the “ added degree of difficulty “ that is the Chicken Chokers would be miraculous.
