  1. Cheap skating on the manager is a real false economy. He's the most important person at the club, or he should be.
  2. It was a put together studio band record. One of those novelty songs that came out now and again. I don't think " The Hollywood Argyles " ever really existed.
  3. £5m eh, that's a whole Gallagher or most of a Brererton.
  4. No, I'm thinking of a line in the song that I first heard back in the early 1960's. Bowie must have got it from The Hollywood Argyles.
  5. I was thinking that myself. The way we playing at the moment it's hard to see where the next win is coming from.
  6. If he wants to know the one thing that is holding Rovers back, just go into the bathroom and look into the mirror.
  7. 10/10 Stuart. Being the only ones at the club who actually care is getting pretty tiring.
  8. Massive No 1 in America in May 1960. Only in the high 20's over here. A pal of mine had a copy which he played to death. Where Bowie got the line from.
  9. Like when Ken Furphy came in. He had players coming and going on a daily basis.
  10. We need somebody with a back bone. My Rugby League team had a new player/coach a few years back. In his first game we played away at Featherstone. We hadn't won there since WW2 ! To cap it all he was a Featherstone lad. After about 5 minutes Fev scored a try and as our lot waited under the posts for the conversion he gathered all the players together. He said - " If you think we're going to spend the rest of the afternoon stood under these fucking posts you've got another think coming and those bastards over there have as well ! " We went on to win by a street !
  11. You drove me mad with that line. Then I remembered it's from " Ally-Oop " by The Hollywood Argyles.
  12. I was just thinking Rovers usually manage to ruin my Saturday evening and some of Sunday. This time they've gone one better and ruined Friday night and all of Saturday plus the usual Sunday blues.
  13. They'll be more interested in the cricket. To be honest, so am I !
  14. For me you either play him up front in a centre forward style role or you don't play him at all. The idea that his height is handy for defending set pieces doesn't outweigh his uselessness as a winger/fullback. Given the state of the pitch at the moment I'd be inclined to go full on ale house football and pair Gallagher and Armstrong up front and just go long ball most of the time.
  15. Mowbray's " approval " rate must be at the Kean/Coyle level by now.
  16. It's a toss up between Gallagher and Brererton as to who is the softest. David Speedie, who was about 8 inches shorter at least, would have outjumped the pair of them with ease.
  17. Prior to the Chicken Chokers taking over none of our previous managers would have lasted anything like as long as Mowbray.
  18. Any good senior exec would already have a few names in his head. You need to have an on going succession plan even if things are going OK. You never know what is around the corner in football.
  19. That's telling it like it is for once.
  20. He'll be telling us how bad Mowbray was when he finally gets fired.
  21. You'd have to pay me to watch that lot. Not fit to wear the shirt comes to mind. I remember the last days of Kiddo, we struggled woefully against QPR and lost 2-1. The team was booed off at the end. I said to my lad " Don't worry, he'll be gone before the next game ". And he was.
  22. Not for the first time either. The Stoke goal came the same way. Preston will have seen that.
  23. It's all just words when action is required. Do you think they'll be in for extra training tomorrow morning ?
  24. We're actually going backwards.
  25. Well the way we are playing we haven't moved forward an inch since those days.
