  1. Damian Duff, Matt Jansen, Andy Cole all in one body. Possibly the best pure goalscorer I ever saw.
  2. Yes, there are some great goals in that lot. I'd be happy scoring any one of them.
  3. Maybe when Dack was playing other players were looking for something special from him to turn a game. Now he's missing possibly more of them are taking responsibility.
  4. The " Fulham Goal " is the last one in that series of clips.
  5. I think Bennett has been carrying an injury recently.
  6. Yes I read that. It was such a shame he got injured after all that effort. I still think he's the sort of striker that needs three good chances to score a goal but if he puts himself about those chances will come.
  7. That's the bottom line. Until he can reach the level he was at before the injury I can't see him going anywhere.
  8. Or losing to Luton and Charlton at home !
  9. Samuel was never going to be the next Benni McCarthy but he could develop into the next Jason Roberts. Nothing wrong with that at this level. He has the physical attributes, size, strength and pace but in the past I thought his attitude left a bit to be desired. He seemed to get discouraged easily. Maybe the serious injury has focused his mind on what life could be like out of the game.
  10. Listening to Radio Lancs it sounds like the Blackpool lads were busting a gut for Dunny. I like Joey Barton - a Robbie Savage with ability.
  11. Cunningham, so good they named him twice !
  12. Don't forget he brought Andy Irvine and Rob Kelly in also. I thought that appointment was the only logical thing the Chicken Chokers have done in 10 years.
  13. From what bits I've seen of Maddison he's got a similar style to Dack.
  14. I couldn't believe how Fulham left Tugay un-marked outside the area ! That was just asking for trouble.
  15. Yes, Samuel showed him how to do it.
  16. I was there and I don't remember it being a night match. I was in the upper Jack Walker and I was right behind the cross as it came to Tugay. Kuqi provided a fantastic cross for the MGP goal.
  17. After he miss controlled the ball from the goal keeper it took him a while to realise he needed to get involved again and press the keeper. Even then he was pretty half hearted in the challenge. Luckily the keeper sliced it straight back to Samuel. A real penalty box predator would have put that away first time. Regarding the pen I think the keeper just about got the ball first but anywhere else on the pitch that would probably been a free kick for reckless play.
  18. That's what struck me watching his highlights video. He spends very little time in the penalty area. You won't score many goals playing out wide all the time
  19. I watched them in the FA Cup against Arsenal. In the first half they over ran Arsenal and played really well. It's been downhill ever since then.
  20. Well that'll set a Rovers record for fielding the two tallest wingers ever. Just thinking back to when we had Dougie at 5' 7" and Joe Haverty at 5' 3" on the wings.
  21. It won't be about ability tonight, it'll be about who want's it the most.
  22. I never ever walked out onto the pitch without a picture in my head of my team winning. I've lost count of how many losing games I played in but I always started out with a positive attitude. That includes a 16-2 loss as a young lad.
  23. I've said it before but I think Chapman was only signed to shut his fan club up.
  24. Yes he asked for a transfer when we appeared to be going nowhere and he was a marked man, in more ways than one, every week. Then the Ferguson, McEvoy ,Pickering, Douglas, Harrison forward line emerged and he decided to come off the list. Roma made enquiries about signing him after the 1962 World Cup. I'm reading a book my wife bought me that consists of newspaper accounts of Rovers games through the years. In the report of the famous 7-2 thrashing of Spurs ( for the youf of today that was like beating the current Liverpool team by the same score ) it states that Bill Nicholson, the Spurs manager, walked into the boardroom at Ewood after the game and said " Name your price for Douglas ". Obviously the offer was turned down. Ronnie told me that several clubs were interested in him over the years, Arsenal and Wolves were two he mentioned, but he was always happy at Ewood.
