Yeah I can’t understand why anyone should be “ negative “ about Rovers after the last dozen seasons of unbroken success we’ve just had.

Duff was the outstanding forward in the 2002 World Cup. BBD isn’t nearly in the same class, Duff was head and shoulders better. The best winger I’ve ever seen at Rovers with the sole exception of Bryan Douglas, and I’ve seen a few.

Jackie DeShannon - When You Walk In The Room

Plus David Speedie

Craig Hignett scored some good goals for us. Oh to have had him playing up front this season.

The Rooftop Singers - Walk Right In

The Markeys - Last Night

That was the pits. If I’d have been scouting Pickering I’d have put away my notebook and got up and left after 90 seconds. Anybody capable of such a misjudgement shouldn’t be playing pro football.

About two months too late.

I didn’t “ give it to Burnley “ back in the day. I never felt the need to. Rovers winning trophies was enough for me, I never bothered to think about them. I’ve been around football long enough to know that nothing is forever. That’s why I thought all this flying banners over grounds completely stupid.

It’s when it crosses over from a “ gentle ribbing “ to piss taking that I object. When I played it was drummed into me “ be a bad loser but a good winner “. That stuck with me - winning was always enough in my book, after the game I never felt the need to denigrate the opponents. Sometimes the margin between success and failure is very narrow indeed, I never forget that also. i’ve mentioned it before but some of the posters that are on here several times a day were missing for months on end last season.

More likely to struggle than thrive unless the Chicken Chokers decide to get interested. Not much chance of that.

Laurie Anderson - Oh Superman

Back to square one next season.

That’s all you need to get out of this division. Look at Luton etc.

Just my view - he’s more likely to be a flop in Spain than a success. You need better close control over there.

Yes. We weren’t making enough real chances to score many goals.

I call it “ pass it around until you lose it “ football. Players who are not in a great position abdicate responsibility and pass it to somebody else in a worse position. There’s a lot of it about in modern football..

Mark Hughes was saving himself for the RedRats . Didn’t turn out that way though.

The Everly Brothers - No One Can Make My Sunshine Smile

Yeah - the Coventry goal - do you think we concede that with a Kevin Moran in the side. He’d have headed the bastard ball to the half way line first bounce! He was a winner.

It’s taken us all season to come back from behind to actually win a game. 46 bloody games. How many games did we come from behind to win last season ? I’d be embarrassed to play in a team with a record like that. To me it only says one thing - LMF. Look it up.

The Yardbirds - For Your Love

If it weren’t true we’d have held on to beat Sheff U in the cup and the two games we blew in the last minute. That doesn’t happen when you have winners in your team.

I’m taking the credit for yesterdays win. I wore my replica shirt during the game yesterday. The jinx is over.
