Andy, Thanks for everything mate, a true Ewood legend and a deserved player of the year in 2005, You gave it all week in, week out and I ll always have 3 memories of you at ewood, the best was when you chased down Henry and pushed him of the ball when he was through on goal, at 2-0 down not many players would have bothered but that summed you up! The worst goal ever scored against Newcastle (Haha), but well worth the celebrations and of course giving that cheat Dugarry what he had comin.... a good kickin!

All the best at Derby!

Are you kiddin, those rubber buttons were crap and the razor blade cotton collars.....why cant we ever get a decent manufacturer .......asics, uhlsport, lonsdale....HELLO umbro, reebok, puma.....top 6 premiership side here!!! kooeee! Oh well not as bad as fulham next season....AIRNESS....WTF?? hahaha think al fayed just went down chorley market!!

Comparing Steven Reid and Bobby C is possibly the stupidest comparison ever.........world cup winner, league winner, european cup winner and appearance and goal scoring record holder of probably the greatest side in Europe in the late 60s versus a lad who plays the odd game for England B (take that Robbie Keane) and has had a decent year and a half at Rovers.........

May see some Hertha Berlin ones though as they wear the same blue & White halves, I think

Yeah they do, I had one a few years ago, also had a porto one cos for some reason they decided on blue and white halves for a year or two, think there is some Japanese team, maybe Korean, that also wear blue and white halves...........might look, far east kits are always wierd but cool...........like they have 8 year olds as the designers or summit

I was also suprised that the kit wasn't on sale after the game but then that would have been a good marketing combination by Lonsdale which is obviously a bit beyond them.

What do you mean beyond them.......arent they now part of one of the biggest sports manufacturers in the world...sports world ..........who also own Diadora, Admiral, Donnay, Le Coq Sportif and I think a large chunk of Umbro........so im sure they know how to market......

Definately waitin for the away shirt.... hope it comes out first like it has the last the last couple of seasons... so i aint tempted by the blue and white... red HSA shirt was class and didnt fall apart unlike this seasons home (sponser and red line on arm fell off) both AMD and HSA fell off my kappa home shirts and the yellow away kappa got a snag, when i cut the snag off, the thread followed right round the shirt and left a huge hole...........like summit from a cartoon..............so lets talk quality Lonsdale...id rather pay £35 than £25 if it will last a season!!!

As long as we don't get drawn against Gretna...........

Why? I think it would be great to play Gretna.......... I was at Celtic Park a couple of years ago and the atmosphere was fantastic, the Scots were all really nice before the game and the drinks were cheap after it!!

Plus its gotta be an easy first rounder...

i agree that he is trying too hard!! He keeps sayin he wants to play the best football of his carrer for mark hughes! Why dosnt he just play like he did for the foxes and BC (great) for himself........... (Please don't use that word again) sparky, (Please don't use that word again) the fans ..........just play savvy..........no pressure

Give Souness time!! Clubs who jump on a managers back after a short amount of time are always cursed! e.g Southampton, Leeds

Not like Alex Ferguson did great his 1st season at Man Utd.......and Wenger and Mourinho only have cos they had almost ready made squads when they got there!

Souness just needs to build his own Newcastle as he built his own Rovers!

(and after the 1st game theres hope, another fine performance from a referee at highbury cost them the game!)

Not as bad as those non-footballing ones that affect certain people's perspective of a person in the game, though.

Know what you mean Radagast.....i hate speakin to idiot rovers fans who say they hate Souness! When you ask why they say because hes a d i c khead........mmmm ok then!!! Any real reason you would hate a former rovers manager who left the team in a much better position than when he came! The only former bburn manager we should eva hate like that is Brian Kidd!! Not Souey!

mmm is there anyone out there who actually thinks Cheslski ont win the league............or the pie eaters will stay up??? Anyone??

You and Mr. 6 are the only ones with that opinion about Gillespie

Obviously have not been reading this thread.....have u???

Me and the doctor also said we liked super keith.........its at the top of the page for god sake!!

I just got my season ticket yesterday!!! I must say the welcome pack is a great introduction.........i was very pleased............wasnt much but it felt like i was bein rewarded fro my loyalty!! Good on the person who thot o that!

when they do Im usually jumping around like a barefoot idiot on a sun baked beach.

336775[/snapback]

Yeah I often get Ewood confused with a sun baked beach, in the middle of november when im frezzin me tits off!!!

"I predict a riot" by the Kaiser chiefs!! But only against Newcastle and Birmingham!!!

1. Chelsea

2. Man Utd

3. Liverpool

4. Arsenal

5. Tottenham

6. Boro

7. Bolton

8. Rovers

9. Everton

10. Man City

11. Aston Villa

12. Newcastle

13. Charlton

14. Portsmouth

15. Birmingham

16. Fulham

17. West Ham

18. West Brom

19. Sunderland

20. Wigan

Well wots the point in taking away seats!! During big games with atmosphere people stand anyway, even wit adequete seats provided..........Anyone go to celtic away a couple of years ago???? I did and never once sat on the seat or against Burnley both home and away last season.....there were seats but no sittin down..........so wots the point in removin seats wen those games only come around once a year.......id love to see the people whod pay £20 to stand and watch us play fulham!! What an atmosphere the terraces will produce wen 36 away fans drop by!! You need a seat to collapse of boredom into!

I know a few Wigan fans who have a soft spot for Everton, and vice-versa.

336247[/snapback]

I play for a team thats in Wigan, and most of my team-mates support Everton or liverpool for some reason???

No danger of pies not selling at Goodison and Anfield next year then!!

It should be that classical/ dance music they use in every football film ever!! cant remeber its name but it also on that "Football Aid" advert thats played at Ewood and was the background music for Sean Beans Sky Sports "Passion" advert! Its inspiring!!!

I agree with ya Doctor....Super Keith was great and was never scared to take someone on, or keep runnin.......e.g Flitcrofts Goal against leeds 2002-03.....ian harte thot it was out so let it run ..........all of a sudden Gillespie gets it on the line, low cross into the area...GOAL........or the goal aganst Man Utd first home game since promotion and we beat them 2-1( yes i kno it was 2-2 but im Disregarding Beckhams equalizer as it was an absolute disgrace, and just cheating from the T W A T)

Leeds United

for thinking their great that they won the last old division 1 title!

(there was a reason the Prem was formed)

for always sayin "we were in a champs league semi-final in 2001"

(GOOD 4 YA! How much did that one night of European disapoinment cost ya?

1. All ur good playas

2. Your premiership status

3. your manager

4. Your stadium

5. Around 5,000 season ticket holders

and around another £60m!!

And for thinkin that your winning the "war of the roses"

(take a good look we prem, u ######.....and the only transfers they make now, are the kind that go on car windows!! and are on sale in the club shop!!.......Unless u count raiding deepdale for scraps!

Schadenfreude that! you sheep sha&&in ba$tards

By the way Marcus Babbel is still the most attacking defender in the world but now plys his trade for VFB Stuttgart. Dino Baggio went and join Grabbi at Ancona on loan after leaving rovers, he played 14 games and scored 1 goal in serie A, (more than grabbi) but there regation saw him return to lazio which he has subsequently left......heard a rumour he was in Japan, but he may of just retired! also heard Youri Djorkaeff now plays in the MLS with NY/NJ metrostars but us fans will have to tell ya for sure!

Wilcox is like that tho.....for rovers and leeds...he would have a ###### 5-6 games then set up 2 and score one from 40 yards and he would stay in the team for another 5-6 games till he did it again .......so i wouldnt read too much into that......plus isnt he like 36!!

Trust me philly, i was not havin a go at souey.......wen he was here i loved the guy....and i think wot he did for rovers in his time here was great and i hate the dicks that boo him wen he came bak wiv the toon! All im sayin was that someone was sayin Kuqi would be no good cos Souness turned him down 3 years ago........and thats stupid......AND i didnt say all souness signings were bad just that a few were......and that so far hughes signings have been crackin.....i mean who eva heard of Nelson b4 we bought him......(well actually US fans might of and NZ) but now id say his one of top 10 def. in prem....so maybe we should trust hughes on kuqi

lets be honest tho souness made some really bad transfers, so maybe shefki is the good 1 that got away and hughes got him..........he cant be any worse than anyone souness bought anyway!!
