Tyrone Shoelaces

Then we had people on here telling us the fee we got for him was just about right. Even the dogs in the street knew he was a once in a generation level player. Players who can turn defence into attack with one instant pass like he can are worth their weight in gold today. Another reason why I’ll never forgive the chicken chokers.

Brian Hill - the Hedges of his day.

And how many have we conceded in stoppage time in that period.

He’d be better than Pears in goal.

If he does get a 3 year contract I’ll give you any odds you like he won’t last 3 years.

One thing you can be sure of - if they’re shit they’ll be here longer than if they are amazing.

I’ve been watching both codes of rugby for 60 years and I can count the number of games I’ve seen were the best team lost on the fingers of two hands. It so rarely happens. By the very nature of the game the team that scores more tries, makes more clean breaks, carries the ball for more yards usually wins. In that respect it’s a less frustrating game.

The Yardbirds - For Your Love

Maybe the players thought Lowe was near to being appointed as well. That would explain the no-show on Saturday.

I can’t see there being a stampede for Cantwell on his current form.

Yes I can just about Gav but I’m only reading on an iPad. It may be easier on a bigger screen.

That’s what you call a match report.

If you had any sense you’d make it clear to his agent what your top line was before any other discussions took place

Even Walton was better and he was pretty poor. As you say goalkeeping isn’t what it was.

Heading the ball will be gone by then.

There must be about 7 or 8 of those teams no longer playing league football.

I know, it’s mad. The manager is much more influential than any individual player, as we found out yesterday.

How did England win that game yesterday ? The stats are amazingly in Scotland’s favour. Normally in rugby the team than is on top wins, You can’t “ park the bus “. The area you are defending is too big so you can only defend by attacking.

It’s the same with my Rugby League team. I can tell after 5 or 10 minutes if they’re going to be up for it. If players are running hard onto the ball = good performance. If they’re taking the ball standing still = bad performance.

I’d expect most managers would want double the normal remuneration to come to the shit show that is Blackburn Rovers, not less !

I never will get that. Your manager is the most important person in the club. He should be the most highly paid.

When Mowbray went out of his way to sign him I thought what has he got ? Is he quick, is he a tricky dribbler, is he a good header of the ball, is he an aggressive nasty bastard who’s a nightmare to play against, is he a workhorse who runs the left hand side all day, does he get late into the box and score goals, can he cross a good ball ? After about 3 or 4 games I was scratching my head because he’s none of those things. I’m at a loss to see what Mowbray saw. How he’s still a regular is a complete mystery to me.

If the chicken chokers were picking the team thst would probably be their team.

Look at that pitch.
