Slim Harpo - Got Love If You want It

I watched it on TV and I thought “ onside “. I only started to worry when they were playing it back.

Joe South - Walk A Mile In My Shoes

You can get 6 pts with only 2 shots if you’re lucky. If you’re really lucky you can get 3 points with 0 shots !

I never pretend to be “ in the know “ because I’m not. I bumped into a guy I’d never met before last Friday at a gig. He found out I was a Rovers fan and he told me he was very close to one of our fringe players. No names. We got to chatting about the team . One thing the lad told him that Thomas wasn’t popular with some of the other players on account of him giving it “ large “ and being “ the big I am “. Going on about being at the last World Cup etc. Given he was playing non league not that long ago it hasn’t gone down too well. Take it or leave it.

I thought that line about how you can be “ too near to play “ to get a really accurate view very interesting. I always thought lots of offside decisions were got wrong because the play was too near to the lineman at the critical time.

He sat Chris Sutton on Tugay whenever we got the ball. Completely stopped us playing.

I had one. Mine was blue and white as well. I can’t remember what happened to it.

Yeah, you could see he was a top player. Like a lot of Eastern European defenders - he was ruthless when he had to be.

Yes, thanks for down loading it.

Neil Diamond - Cherry, cherry.

I know what you were up to. I bet it wasn’t just your arms that was stiff. It was a pretty bad crush on the Blackburn End. Not really an enjoyable experience.

Well deserved. The lad is a class act.

If we did get promoted I’d be happy if the Chicken Chokers took all the money on condition that they pissed off and never darkened our doors again.

There’s a really good article ( 4 full pages long ) in todays “ Guardian “ . It’s about modern day referees. Very revealing.

If he gets a ban in single figures he’ll be doing well.

Correct, that really is clutching at straws. Following one mistake by making another mistake never ends well in sport as we know only too well at Rovers. Appointing Kean, keeping him on when he came within an ace of relegating us, then keeping him on when he did actually relegate us is a classic example. Nobody can tell me that wasn’t deliberate. Show me another example of such stupidity.

I think she was in love with Colin Harvey, from a distance I hope.

I only took my first wife once. The FA Cup tie v City when there was 42,000 on. She didn’t like the crush on the Blackburn End. Not surprising really. My second wife grew up living in Liverpool and was regular Everton fan. I turned her on to Rugby League and now she’s Rugby League daft and won’t watch football at all.

I’m surprised a steward hadn’t taken it off him.

It’s the only way we’re going to increase attendances in any meaningful way. We need to make these new fans properly welcome. That probably means dealing with our “ knob head “ element.

He’s not decisive enough as a defender.

Hospital ? What happened to the magic cold sponge ?

I’d be less concerned if we had a board who knew what they were doing. We lost a succession of really good managers in the 1979’s but each time we managed to get another good one in. I think with JDT it was more luck than judgement.

That kid Brierley is playing well in a bad team at Rochdale. I hope we’ve got him nailed down at least.
