Tyrone Shoelaces

Around halfway.

Halifax are still playing.

If there’s any other club interested you can forget it.

At least he got good odds.

I see the current England woman's team wear shorter shorts. Back in the day when shorts were really short I remember seeing Glen Hoddle wearing his shirt outside his shorts and you couldn’t see his shorts at all. I suppose the clue is in the name - shorts.

From what I recall of the Portsmouth highlights reel lots of his goals came from him “ attacking “ balls played in front of him for him to run on to. Exactly what you want as a striker. Exactly the sort of balls you see about once a game at Rovers.

“ Surely a backwards looking methodology “ , definitely, if you’re trying to hold on to you job.

Has he ever been carded for putting a “ quietner “ in ? Usually it’s for childish shit like kicking the ball away or ankle tapping from behind.

Inexplicable, which ever way you look at it.

As long as this shower own Rovers it’ll just be more of the same with the only route out of this league through the trap door. I just hope I live long enough to see them gone.

A decade of pure shite with very little exception has decimated the fan base. I know blokes who were die hard Rovers fans who wouldn’t go if you gave them a free season ticket now. It’s not just the results or the football it’s the feeling of complete alienation from the club. Nothing we can do or say will effect anything of what goes on at Ewood. We count for nothing. Absolutely nothing. We’re totally dis-connected from Blackburn Rovers. We exist in a parallel universe to the Chicken Chokers. Short of getting on a plane to Pune and lobbing a brick through their window that is. I was there when we were playing and losing to Rochdale in the old Div 3 and I didn’t have this feeling of powerlessness that I have now. I’ve said it before but I feel like I’m a passenger on that plane that the pilot decided to fly into a mountain.

Congratulations, that makes you officially “ old ”.

Their plan is never going to happen. Neither is JDT’s. We haven’t the money to buy players of the quality needed to play keep ball. The sooner he realises that the better.

I could have watched the game on Boxing Day for free at my sons. I just couldn’t summon up the.heart to make my excuses to my family. At one time I would have risked the wrath of Mrs Shoelaces when we had a house full of visitors. Same goes for tomorrow. I’ve got the lurgy that’s going around at the moment so attending in person isn’t a starter but again I think I could go up to my sons to watch the match. I just can’t bothered. I was going to have my ashes scattered at Ewood when the time comes, I’ve no heart for that now.

That’s what happened to him at Newcastle I believe. No service = no goals. 4 goals in 35 games apparently. Playing up front feeding off scraps is the worst place to be on a football pitch. Been there, done that.

First thing Kompany did, signed a load of players who can play out wide. Proper wide players, not the likes of Gallagher. If one’s not performing drag him off and get another one on. Simple really. He was a defender, he knows how hard it is to defend when you’ve been turned around and you’re running back facing your own goal.

It’s a simple as that. A fish rots from the head and at the moment we are rotten.

He should know that, he’s played up front himself. How would he go on playing for Rovers if he was in his prime ?

When you’re playing up front the one thing you want is service. Ideally balls coming in from the flanks or clever balls threaded through the lines. We don’t have much of either. Nobody would thrive playing up front for us at the moment. l

You missed out “ depressing “. It’s a miracle we’re getting the attendances we are.

A magical player.

Thank God for that. Only another 11 points and we should be safe.

Flying fook every time with the Chicken Chokers.

Me too. Talk is cheap. Actions speak louder than words.

How did Brittain go on today . We could have the best right back in the league but it’s no good if he’s alway injured.
