Good time to play City, before they get into their stride.

You had “ Is “. B J Thomas - Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head

Imagine being able to sub Santa Cruz on nowadays !

Los Bravos - Black Is Black.

There’s no excuse for it either. All it takes is lots of practice.

They’re the “ added degree of difficulty “.

Yes, some great attacking play there. Super passing. However the defending was woeful, especially down our left hand side.

The Sir Douglas Quintet - She’s About A Mover

Pickering got us off to a great start with one of the worst passes I’ve ever seen.

Luxury player. He’ll do the damage when you’re on top but he’ll never get you on top.

I remember when the latest edict was - penalties to be given for defenders holding on at corners or free kicks. Andre Oojer did it in his first game and gave away a pen. After that weekend it was business as usual and I never saw another player penalised for that offence again.

The first time I saw him in the flesh I was surprised how small he was. Of course there have been lots of brilliant small players but they were all much more difficult to knock off the ball.

“ Decision making at speed under pressure “ is what separates the good players from the average ones. Some players learn from their mistakes and some don’t.

J Frank Wilson And The Cavaliers - Last Kiss.

Not everywhere else has the Chicken Chokers for “ owners “.

They just stop the clock in Rugby League. Nobody walks out early. Having said that I can distinctly recall walking out of Ewood at 4-40 pm at the final whistle.back in the day. Two halves of 45 mins, 10 minutes half time and no time wasting. On the Boulevard for about 5.05pm, just in time to grab a “ Last Sports “ and hop on the 5-15pm bus back to Rochdale. Now I’d have no chance of making the bus. Having said that what is creeping into Rugby League is the tactic of “ strategic injuries “ when you’re on the attack. Players staying down after a tackle etc. to break up the momentum. That’s becoming a big problem in football and rugby.

Maureen Evans - Like I Do

Me too, I can’t see where the goals are going to come from.

That must be the shortest team we’ve ever fielded.

Gallagher doesn’t half get injured a lot for a giant who doesn’t put himself about much.

Carl Perkins - Honey Don’t

Jay And The Americans - Livin’ Above Your Head

The Young Rascals - You Better Run

Not all sports are equal - do they play tennis in the rain ?

It’s not that simple. Try bowling with a wet ball.
