Tyrone Shoelaces

Trying Johnson up front should have been tried out in a practice game, even if it was only 45 minutes, not in a real game. That’s just amateurish.

Whenever he comes on Radio Lancs after a game it’s impossible to tell if we’ve won, lost or drawn. It’s the same mumbling monotone , teeth sucking, platitudes.

Who’d have thought that - we get Giles out wide left on his good foot and he gets around the back of the Derby defence to sling in a perfect cross right onto Gallys head. Wouldn’t he have been better playing out wide right like Mahrez and coming inside all the time ! Football is a simple game made complicated by some managers.

Pep will be onto this soon, just watch.

Fred Pickering every time.

I once saw Sutton take a massive goal kick from Flowers onto his chest and then drop the ball right onto his foot all in one movement. Only class players can do things like that.

Stuart Ripley.

Isn’t he injured at the moment ?

If Bournemouth are still watching him they must be thinking “ we dodged a bullet there “.

Taken all in all he’s been a pretty bad signing.

Me too, after playing schoolboy football on a Saturday morning a gang of us would chose a game and jump on a bus or a train. It could be Rovers, Burnley, Utd, City, Bolton, Bury etc Some times Oldham or even Rochdale. Rovers were great to watch in that period, we scored goals for fun ( 1962 to 1964 ) so I managed to get the gang to Rovers quite often. Of course this was in the days of walking up to any ground, putting your money down, and walking in. Standing wherever you felt like standing. None of the bullshit we get today.

Or playing right wing back.

I’ve played 4 games in a weekend a few times as a kid. Most weekends it was three games. School or Town morning Youth Club afternoon. Sunday team afternoon.

Yeah Bellamy for me. When he was fit he was a one man forward line.

He lost the plot at the end but it was great while it lasted.

I forgot about Ayala ( not a surprise ) so make that four centre halves better.

Seen that, it was hilarious.

Let’s hope you’re right tomorrow den because Derby will be fighting.

They’ll miss Cook.

We’ve got three centre halves at Rovers better than Branthwaite.

Merc must have hijacked his account.

I’m just hoping Merc has his shirt on Derby, we’ve got half a chance then.

What are we fighting for ? Not much as far as I can see. Happy days and all lads together down at Ewood. Just reminds me of a line from a Country Joe and the Fish song about Vietnam. “ What are we fighting for ? Who cares, I don’t give a damn “ . The amount of real fighting spirit that the likes of Moran and Speedie showed back when we first struggled up out of this division is sadly lacking and has been for 10 years. We out football teams from time to time but how often do we actually out fight teams that are better than we are ? I’d say never.

I’m tired of saying it but the Chicken Chokers are like a cancer in the body of Blackburn Rovers. Until that cancer is removed the body will never thrive and ultimately it will probably prove terminal.

I’m brave enough but it’s not easy ! Just look at those scores in front of the back three. They’re horrendous. Thanks for sticking at it Tony.
