Shearer let his heart rule his head going to Newcastle and for a player of his ability to only have one major honour to his name is a tradgedy for sure.The thought of him at Man Utd would have been frightening...they simply would have been unstoppable! For an English footballer to play for either Madrid or Milan must surely be a chance not to be missed.

To anyone involved in the fans forum with the club,has a Ronnie Clayton memorial been mooted or possibly renaming one of the stands in his honour? God knows the great man deserves it but sadly seems to have gone quiet on this one.

Superb stuff once more Mr Whittle,to see that Swindon game once more brings back great memories of that era,3 sides of old Ewood packed,Ossie and Archie in the blue 'n' white, Rovers on the start of a great journey back to the top!

Lets put it this way Sam,for a player who only played in the blue 'n' white for one season the impact he had was simply unforgettable. Just like a Jack Russell he was a real tough little b'stard who never gave in. Nearly 20 years on and his name still evokes great memories..... ''PLEASE UNCLE JACK, BRING DAVID SPEEDIE BACK''

Goodbye Ronnie

Nothing has changed then with the Southern based media after all these years! A great send off for Ronnie from both sets of fans on Saturday,nice to see the shirts,scarfs,flags and flowers in his memory at the Jack Walker statue. It really would be a great tribute to rename the BBE after him.

A footballer who commanded respect

As mentioned renaming one of the stands would be a lovely gesture to a great servant and fan of Rovers. I had the pleasure of one of his ground tours and he was still kicking and heading every ball with the stories he told...the fire was still burning bright for the game.I too never saw him play but listening to my dad enthuse about him was enough.Tomorrow will be an emotional day for all Rovers fans at Ewood.

Goodbye to a true Rovers Legend Ronnnie Clayton Blackburn Rovers and England captain R.I.P Awful news.

Official confirmation?

F1 2010 OH MY!

I'm praying the new Rally sim WRC10 out in October will be a worthy successor to the excellent and never surpassed Richard Burns Rally. Looking the dogs rollocks to date! A pure Rally simulator, difficult to master,fully tunable cars and not Arcade like Dirt2.

Have to admit to being shocked at his apparent downfall,his last chance at a world cup,a talented player who seems to have lost all motivation.Have to agree with doctorryan that the name calling is OTT...he was once a good player for us in the blue 'n' white.

His comments caused a stirr at the time,didn't stop the cheeky sod from getting his face on the team shots celebrating at Anfield though!

ALARM!!! Silent Hunter 5

I'd class you as having more intelligence than that Theno.

R.I.P to the young man.....its appears at the moment to have been a tragic ACCIDENT fuelled by too much Beer. Can those Rovers fans stating 'what is our club coming to' and saying they will stay away from Ewood PLEASE get a grip of themselves and reality. This tragic ACCIDENT is not the fault of our beloved club,Rovers and Ewood park is a safe place to watch football in a mostly friendly atmosphere.Rovers fans as a whole have a good reputation. Please think before making these OTT comments as the media are no doubt waiting to put the boot in.

The electrical nerve signal for the heart to beat is sent from the brain,if the head injury is serious enough to that part of the brain concerned well.........

''Ch Insp Roberts said an investigation had been started into how the man came by his injuries and a 25-year-old man from Preston had been arrested.'' Weren't the crackpots invovled in the Villa coach incident from Preston?

Rovers fans attack each other on coach coming back from Villa and now a supposed fatality at Stoke?.....WTF is going on?

Yes,unfortunately we do have a reputation for it and Rovers fans have gotten quite adept at booing of late.

A sad ending for me,should have been Roberts heading to barrow boy land not McCarthy.It does appear though that he burnt his bridges with Allardyce and there was no turning back...shame really.

Would it really surprise anyone? From what I have heard,despite the little bit of trouble with the Police,the two sets of trouble makers never even got sight of each other!

Its shocking isn't it...for 30k a Week I would happily start at 5am every day of the week no question asked. They just dont realise how lucky they are.

Dont know what to make of this anymore? More of the same booing bullshyte!
