That’s why I get so much out of my part time pro Rugby League team. The level of commitment is immense. They put more effort into running at the tackle bags in the warm up routine than some of our players put into a game ! There was bone crunching tackles going on all over the pitch yesterday, all for about £200 a game. Real lads not imposters.

I’m thinking more “ 19th Nervous Breakdown “ if they give him another contract !

Brilliant. Nothing beats seeing off your local rivals comprehensively after having a man harshly red carded. Remember the 5-0 beating of the dingles ? It was nearly as good as that. Nice day for cricket. Do they have pro’s in that competition ?

I think we knew that at the time Jim.

Why would Critchley come to Rovers ? Those days have gone.

Good on him. He’s done brilliantly at Derby. He’s proved me wrong big time.

We can hardly buy a goal never mind a point or three.

Like a keep telling a dingle mate - “ Nothing is forever in life, especially in football, laugh at us whilst you can “. Most clubs have their time in the sun and then it’s over for a while. Decision making in football is like a big game of snakes and ladders. You keep landing on snakes and you end up on the bottom level.

If he’s given another contract it will be a season too far for me. I took “ leave of absence “ when they appointed Coyle and to be honest I felt a lot better for it. There’s the normal ups and downs of following a football team and there’s the un remitting misery of a Mowbray death spiral. No more ! Either he goes or I go.

I’d have to think long and hard about a choice of Solksjaer or Mowbray.

We should have fired him after the promotion season. How many seasons have we allowed him to waste ?

£7 million a season contract ? Surely not, that can’t be right.

The way we’ve been playing since Xmas says we are not even good enough to stay in this division.

It’ll be like the day they appointed Coyle for me. Time to take a break from football.

Unless we start producing Test quality players it doesn’t matter who’s sailing the ship.

You could put your house on it. Plus two bangings by the Dingles along the way.

That’s why not bringing in a midfield player in January has hurt us.

I’m tired of hearing it all. Why do they bother. ? Shut your mouth and do it on the pitch is my advice

I don’t know which is worse. At least my rugby league team won today. They run their blood to water for £200 a game ! Our players should be ashamed.

I’m never surprised when people disagree with me.

I’ll count you and Chaddy as two I T K ers. Anybody else ?

Sick of hearing all the bullshit that comes out of Ewood. That goes for the players as well.

Yep. I just got in to turn Radio Lancs on and there he was telling me how good Stoke are and what brilliant players they have. How they always give us a hard game at Ewood etc etc. Kindly leave the stage Tony. What did that guy say to Johnson in parliament ? “ You have sat here too long for any good you have been doing. In the name of god go. “

Last August if you’d have come on this site and said that Cooper was joining Rovers I’d guarantee 75% of the people on here wouldn’t have known the first thing about him.

If I were him I’d sign that contract pronto !
