Tyrone Shoelaces

Quite possibly. Having said that he’ll want better service than our strikers are getting at present.

Good job I kept quiet then.I would have fired him after he allowed Wigan to walk away with the title. That told me all I needed to know about the strength of his ambition for the club.

The Burnley complete no show followed by an holiday in the sun followed by a another complete no show against Preston at home has cost JDT massively. I don’t think he’s realised that yet. All the talk was “ wait until the World Cup break and we’ll work night and day on strategies, ways of playing etc”. Then we find out that the players are all off on various holidays followed by a group jolly in Southern Spain. This is from a club in an impoverished town were people can’t even afford to keep warm. We were getting a new way of playing after the World Cup, where is it ? Lancashire people don’t take kindly to bullshitters.

3 losses out of 3 over the Xmas and New Year period is normally par for the course at Rovers. Anybody care to tell me when we last had a successful Xmas and New Year ?

I don’t think he knew what a good left back looked like.

Wolves want to sign Gyokeres but Coventry say he’s not for sale.

He looks to be out of his depth.

He signed plenty, especially left backs.

Left back, left centre back, left midfield. Jack of all trades, master of none ?

He binned him off for that monumental fuck up against City at Ewood. He never played for the first team again after that. I’d have done exactly the same - a brain dead bit of play. I hope he’s smarter now.

A couple of weeks away apparently.

I don’t hate him. He just needs to grow up, he behaves like a child much too often. The penny might drop now but somehow I doubt it. That’s the problem when you get players who’ve been lauded with praise from being about 8 years old. Not all of them can handle it.

When you got the cold water out did the rad not warm up at all ? For what thermostatic valves cost these days, before I started removing the rad, I change the valve. There are tutorials on YouTube showing you how to do a “ racing change “. 15 minute job if it all goes to plan.

Charlie Austin signed for Swindon.

There aren’t any hard men nowadays. That side of the game has been legislated out. When you get three games for doing what Buckley did it tells you all you need to know. I presume they’d bring back the death penalty if you broke somebodies leg !

We can live in hope !

I can’t think of another case. Of course there are always signings that flop at one club then really thrive when they move to another but BBD is a one off.

It’s all good fun if you can get up and walk away afterwards. It was a shocking tackle that could easily have broken a leg. Clearest red card I’ve seen for a long while. Absolute stupidity from Ball. We were only 1-0 up and the game was in the balance. After that the red card it was game over.

Remember that season were we were that far ahead the bookies stopped taking bets on us for promotion ? Then Mike Newell broke his leg. We just scraped into the play offs on the last day.

Yeah, that was a really bad decision.

They’re both vying for pole position. You can’t afford guys that are yellow card addicts.

Bestie could have been anything he wanted to be. If he’d have had Messi’s mentality he could easily have been as good as Messi if not better. He was completely two footed and he was a good header of the ball, unlike Messi and Maradona who were all left foot. He was also a terrific tackler when he was in the mood. A guy I used to go to games with was a scout for City and he told me a story about Best when he was a kid playing for Utd res at Ewood. Best had been a bit greedy in the first half and some of the senior pros had a go at him at half time in the changing rooms. ” You think you can beat everybody on the pitch “ they all moaned. Best said “ When we kick off in the second half just give me the ball “. So they give him the ball and he just dribbled right through the Rovers defence and slotted the ball past the keeper. Eusebio was up there for a few seasons. Nobody hit the ball harder.

I just had a look at their site. Matt Jansen is their player liaison officer apparently.

Whatever happened to that James Brown we signed last year ? What was the point of that signing ?

We’re not getting yesterdays results out of the system though are we ?
