Yeah, that'd never happen at Rovers in a million years !

I wouldn't let him have another penny to spend. The Chicken Chokers must be real suckers for a sob story.

I'm expecting another match of huffing and puffing. Wether we blow Luton's house down ? I suspect not.

Answer in one word - " Coaching ".

I thought Dack would sign a new contract when he was coming back from a career threatening injury. He'd be a fool not to.

I can't see Everton letting us loan the young lad if they thought we were going to bring in a starting centre back and put the lad on the bench.

Don't forget Hart.

I'm just reading my local paper that several clubs are looking at an 18 year old Rochdale winger, Kwadwo Baah. He's only played a handful of games yet Bayern, Juventus, West Ham and Rangers are all considering a swoop for him. That's the level of detail modern clubs are capable of.

I was going to say that looks like a toolroom.

Some would, some wouldn't. He should have been bollocking the ref not the lad. It wasn't the lads fault the ref gave nothing. Sometimes you wonder wether the refs eyes are just painted on. Sorry Arbi. My mind goes back to when that German goalie nearly killed, and I mean killed, that French outfield player in the World Cup. He stayed on.

I saw a photo were Warnock is bollocking the kid and Mowbray is just sat there watching him do it.

Because apart from you we've nobody looking out for him. The Chicken Chokers will be too busy watching the cricket and none of our " directors " will have their ear to the ground listening to the football jungle drums. Back when we really hadn't got a pot to piss in our directors signed 4 managers - Furphy, Smith, Lee, Kendall all of whom were poached away from us by Div 1 teams and went on to bigger and better things. Jim Iley was a bollock but they were entitled to one mistake. The board then was composed of guys who'd been around football and the lower leagues and they'd spotted the up coming managerial talent. We don't have that at the moment

The next generations top manager is out there. The chances of Rovers landing him is nil.

That's what I heard.

When we played Liverpool one time in the early 1960's I saw that shop get cleaned out by a gang of scousers. That was the first time I'd seen a " steaming " gang.

I've only seen him play once for a whole game but he looked a good stopper to me. I'd say better than Lenihan in that respect.

Cunningham would be a gamble we can't afford to take. You need a back line that is durable, not a collection of injury prone players. We've got enough players coming back from serious injuries..

Looks like a good place to work. Managing Directors son having a well earned break on the second grinding machine from the front.

The had a player red carded early on.

Maybe but beating the Aussies in their own backyard with a severely weakened team says lots about their strength in depth. We'll be doing really well not to get shown up in India.

India must be the number 1 Cricket nation at the moment. Even one test win there will be an achievement.

Some times with a back injury you have a friend for life. I speak from personal experience.

They'd never played for the 'Boro.

Being sat down doesn't help in that respect. Previously you could always move around a bit to keep warm.

I think he's got a bit more about him than Joe, more brains for a start.
