Lets see how observant people are - I can see two ex Rovers in that photograph. Anybody else spot the other one along with Adam Blacklaw. There might even be three. I wonder what " Adidas " gave them for wearing the boots -
Rovers v Millwall. Wed 2nd Dec 7.45pm

You've only got to read some of the general posts on their site. They make " Sun " readers sound like left wing intellectuals . -
There were times he looked like that lad who was chosen to appear in " The Big Time " tv programme. We've had other players in the past that have lacked technical ability but at least they put themselves about. His first two seasons were basically a write off.

You'd have to knit quickly today, the players will have left by time the scarf is finished. You had the like of Clayton, Woods and McGrath playing together for about 6 or 7 seasons then. I've mentioned before that I used to see a group of women going into the Riverside with similar home made scarves - half Rovers and half Burnley. I had a blue and white scarf my mum made for me but I left it on the bus after a game. I had one of those rattles painted blue and white but I don't know what happened to that. -

There was a time when Rovers were really on song a few seasons later when Ronnie was the best attacking wing half in the country but having dropped Ronnie the selectors were loathe to lose face and pick him again. -

You need a few lads that are willing to give the ref a helping hand now and again. We've too many quiet lads who don't make a fuss. -

Heywood had a Labour MP called Jim Dobbin not long ago. Poor guy wasn't a drinker at all and he got plied with really strong alcohol on a trip to Eastern Europe. It killed him. -

Sellars getting a Maradonaesque goal there. Bobby Mimms had a blinder. I can't remember what I had for my tea last night but I could give you the first name of everyone of those goal scorers without having to look them up. -

That photo reminds me of an incident when I was playing youth football. About 5 of us had met up in town before getting the bus up to the local playing fields. One of the gang decided he needed some shin pads so we all trooped off to our local sports shop. In those days all the kit etc were in little drawers like those in that photo behind Ronnie. Behind the counter the wall was just a full wall of big and small drawers. The counter was empty apart from a fully inflated football and the till. When the guy turned around to go up the little steps to reach one of the high up drawers one of the lads whipped open his draw string duffle bag and shoved the ball in ! We were all mouthing daggers at him and whispering " Put it back ! " I thought " Bloody hell we're all going to get arrested here and miss the game ". When the guy turned back around he never said a word, just handed over the shin pads and took the money for them ! I was out of the shop like a flash and never went back in there for years. I later discovered the team mate was a real 100 % kleptomaniac who'd steal anything not nailed down ! -

The gang of lads I knocked about with decided we'd go over to Burnley that day. The Dingles battered the Red Rats. I remember Andy Blockhead having a field day in the air against Billy Foulkes and Paddy Crerand getting shirty when they were about 4 down and looking for the smallest guy in the Burnley team ( Ian Towers ) to punch and getting first go at the bath water. -

Could he have contracted " Ayalaitis " ? -
I remember working on a job at a rubber factory in Salford a few years ago. We'd stopped in a local boozer for a couple of pints and a pie because we'd worked while about 9-00 pm. When we went to leave the landlord insisted on escorting us to our works van - " Just in case lads, I wouldn't want you to get into any bother ! "

I'm not excusing that but who was the last Rovers player who would have shown that level of will to win ? -

I hope so, we'll regret it if he leaves. -

Do you remember the original " Tank " - John Bray ? one of my favourite players when I was kid. That was when full backs were real full backs. -

I liked Alan Wright a lot but that ball should have gone out for a throw in not a blind over the shoulder kick to nowhere in particular. The throw in for the second goal wasn't too smart either. He made up for it a little bit with a typical run that led to our goal. -
Err, not always, plenty go backwards. As the two ex-Rovers that have just signed for Chorley will bear witness.

The idea should be all about having an acknowledged way of playing and squad members to come in that are used to that way of playing. For instance when Douglas came off we had another left back to come on in Bell. Not the greatest I know, but a recognised left back. If Elliot has to come off we have Dolan, Holtby we have Buckley, Johnson for Trybull etc. -
It was a season too far for him. Once you're in your early 30's you can " go " at any time.
