They could have had Gally for a lot less than that.

I thought Kaminski should have done better for their last goal.

We were only ever going to get a half maximum out of Brererton and Dack so we’re two subs down to start with. Nyambe wouldn’t have played at all in my opinion but for all the other cry offs. Where was that bastard Ayala when you need him ? A waste of space !

Every time we get a chance to kick on we( the chicken chokers ) blow it. When we got promoted last time the town was buzzing . Sold out stadium for the last game. Everybody’s ready for a go at the championship. Then we have have the dead hand of Mowbray and the Indians just content to go into the new season with the guys who got us promoted with a couple brought in to “ help the lads out “. No ambition. Same story at Xmas - no real reinforcements, just more bits and pieces players, squaddies. No ambition again. Next season we’ll be back to the usual fight to stay in the league.

Yep, five wasted years sums it up. Five years treading water, getting further in debt and diminishing the fan base.

Mark Atkins on Radio Lancs criticising the way the team was set up for the first half.

Nothing’s changed in ten years. If one team is going to score at the death you can bet your house it won’t be Rovers.

We’ve never really learnt how to play out a game under this bloke in five years.

Exactly, it’s as simple as that.

“ Left Back “ ? You mean the new Mahrez ?

Forest will go up this time.

Get down to the bookies and put a wedge on, you’ll get Brererton-Diaz style odds for that prediction. I remember us putting 9 past Scotland. Dougie got at least one of them.

Yeah Bruck was hacking at Fergie right from the kick off. They’d obviously figured out he was our danger man. In the end he lost it and as Bruck was hacking the back of his legs he swung his arm back at Bruck. It would be a sending off all day long today but not so much in those days. We huffed and puffed without creating much without Fergie. We’d no size in the forward line. They had one chance and scored from it. My abiding memory is of Ronnie Clayton and Gould chasing a long bouncing ball towards the Blackburn End, Ronnie had a head start and was winning the race and had got in front of Gould so Gould just booted him up the arse ! That would also be a sending off all day long today, ask Andy Todd. In those days Gould got a booking.

Is old Rosie thrown in in that deal ?

Ronnie, Harry Leyland, Mick McGrath, Matt Woods, Roy Isherwood ?, Bryan Douglas. That’s not like Ronnie. My image of him is sprinting out of the tunnel with the tan ball tucked underneath his arm and then booting the ball high into the air.

Van Hecke at Fulham being the classic example.

It is.

I’ve seen some crap England test teams over the years but this must be the worst ever.

I asked for a pint of “ Morretti “ the other night in my local. I usually pay by card at the end of the night. This time I just absentmindedly put a £5 note down on the bar. The barman said “ You’ll need to put another 20p there “. £5-20 for a pint of lager !

Worth it though.

I have to smile at that photo of Tommy pursuing the ball in spite of the trailing leg from the defender. Obviously the lad would have been limping around with a twisted ankle after that. Today you would be getting “ there was contact “ and the commentators would be wondering aloud why Tommy didn’t go down !

I just put Brazil v Chile into Google. Tells you all you need to know. 4-0 to Brazil incidentally and Ben didn’t make the match day squad.

You mean it’s nonsense. We provide seats so everybody can stand up ? Where’s the logic there.

If therefore everybody in that section is going to stand up why bother with the seating !

Pointless exercise. What do you do if the guy in front of you wants to stand up and you don’t ? Apart from planting him that is.
