Tyrone Shoelaces

Putting them in was a strange decision. This test could be gone already with us having to bat last.

Compared with what we’ve got now he was a World beater.

I’d take a point at this moment.

Yeah we weren’t looking too good when he left. He was right about Cole and Yorke. I remember watching them playing in a early season game on a very hot day, they did absolutely nothing. One centre half could have easily marked the pair of them. Kevin Phillips was playing up front for the opposition and he ran his blood to water that day in a similar role.

Good to hear about Mark Hughes announcing his arrival on the pitch in the Derby cup game. Was the centre half he quietened Tarribo West ?

Don’t let Mowbray spend the Armstrong money at all is how I feel. He needs to be down the road.

I never listen to anything he says if I can help it, it’s all self serving garbage.

I have my doubts but the training pitch is the place to see if it could work. What exactly do they do ? Who though a very average left back ( Fred Pickering ) could become a top class centre forward or a very average midfield player ( Andy McEvoy ) could become a top class striker ? We experimented with players then.

I’ve just seen the goals on the “ highlights “ reel. That first Morecambe goal, deary me, a schoolboy team would be embarrassed. Where do you start to allocate the blame for that ? Who was it said “ put all the players in a big sack and beat the sack with a large stick “ ?

We’ve been really poor at getting back into the game after going behind for years, certainly all the time Mowbray has been here. That tells me all I need to know about morale and team spirit at the club in spite of all this “ great set of lads “ bullshit.

You mean Gallagher, he’s our current right winger !

Harwood-Bellis has gone abroad.

I don’t remember it at all matey, I’m just quoting the Jackman book This one puts in context 15 Oct 2007 Rovers 5 - Morecambe 1 Rovers Arestidou Taylor, Bateson, Winnard, Berner Treacy ( Judge ), O’Keefe, Hodge, Peter Ritgers ( Clarke ), De Vita ( Haworth ) Scorers Treacy 2, De Vita 2, Ritgers 1 I’ve never heard of half of those yet they battered a Morecambe side.

That team that played Morecambe was the first team. Why we did that I don’t know, usually we played our Central League team with the odd first team player coming back from injury. Maybe they were being punished.

It was a cup were teams like Rovers or Bolton usually played the reserves and teams like Rochdale or Oldham played their first teams. That team was our current first team and Morecambe would have been non league. The games started in Autumn but the various rounds went on all season. The previous season we played Burnley in November and drew at the Turf. The replay was in the following March ! We won that game. Played Preston twice later in March and lost to Barrow in the semi final in April.

3 current Internationals and Fergie.

Bow to Mike Jackman’s “ Blackburn Rovers - The Complete Record “.

Lancashire Senior Cup 5th Dec 1967. Rovers 1 - Morecambe 2 Rovers Blacklaw Coxon, Clayton ( sub Sharples ), Coddington, Wilson Ferguson, Rogers, Hole, Connelly Darling, Gilliver Scorer - Ferguson pen Att 1,600 I’d suggest that was a worse defeat than tonight’s.

Is it true he’s really called O’bafemi Big Dog ?

Or right back.

I would have stayed with 4 at the back. We’re playing Morecambe not West Brom. Kaminski Nyambe Carter Lenihan Pickering Buckley Travis Rothwell Dolan Brererton Butterworth

5-3-2 ?

I think that was a “ tongue in cheek “ remark and not in any way serious.

Yes he was top class.

I see Haseeb Hameed is back in consideration for the Test team along with Moeen Ali.
