I remember the dingles getting a similar dicking at home to somebody like Gillingham. Stan Ternent came on Radio Lancashire after the game and said “ There were players out there today who will never play for this club again. “ He actually named the players , and as far as I know they never did play again. The players need to know as far as the manager is concerned there are lines they do not cross. When Ternent was managing Burnley you could see that was the case, I don’t get that feeling with Mowbray.

That’s been the problem all along - too many nice lads. We needed a couple of nasty bastards bringing in.

It bears out the old saying - “ You can always tell a Yorkshireman, but you can’t tell him much “.

I don’t think he’s the answer to the Newcastle situation. Having said that I couldn’t tell you who is that’s likely to go there.

The way he allowed Wigan to walk away with the Championship told me all I needed to know. That and all the talk about bringing in new signings to “ help out “ the existing players. The guy has no ambition apart from drawing next months pay cheque. I’d have fired him then.

Yeah, name the guilty ones.

That has been clear for years. They are the cancer in the body of Blackburn Rovers.

Tonyoz usually does a review of individual performances. If he can steel himself to watch the game again it should be interesting.

Let’s face it. It was like playing with ten men on occasions. I can’t recall a turn around like it in all the years I’ve been watching football.

I’d fancy us to get a result with a full team but with Gallagher, Ayala and Nyambe missing it’s going to be a struggle.

It was as a result of the Gilliver case that compulsory medical tests were brought in by the football league. We signed him from Huddersfield Town as a very promising centre forward in the 1960’s. Unbeknown to Rovers he had an existing disc problem. When the dust settled Huddersfield had to repay part of the fee we’d paid. At the time he was being treated by an osteopath/physio that I was a patient of about 15 years later. I understand he later underwent a “ disc fusion “ which limited his mobility. His time at Rovers wasn’t a success.

Alan Gilliver.

Crap goal. I thought Gennoe should have done better there.

I’d be very wary of signing anybody who’s had prolonged back trouble.

Not heard from Philipl in a long while.

He doesn’t seem to get the sort of injuries we’re he misses one game and then he’s back in.

Yes I agree with you there.

I’m not expecting Ayala to be back any time soon.

What’s the problem with Pickering ?

Didn’t David Bradford go there at the same time as Tony Field ?

Maybe if he goes to another club they might be able to keep him out of the treatment room. He’s missed his share of games in his time at Rovers.

Sounds like Santo is history. Conte would be a great replacement.

Thanks as usual Tony. Your marking system is very revealing as to who played well and who didn’t.

Nyambe or Buckley ? I know who I’d rather play against if I was playing on the left wing for Fulham. Fair play to the lad for being prepared to play there in a crisis but he’s not a natural defender.

Schopp gets the chop ?
