Listened to this whilst out long running today - entertaining listen, thanks to all involved.

just to pick up on Kamy’s reference to the German defender and meeting the agent from a Hannover player...presumably this is the link to Anton Waldemar? Interested to see there may be legs in this one if so given the price some people think he will go for. Can Kamy clarify further? Thanks

While we're waiting for some news/signings/Prem teams to announce their squads....

 

Bobby Robson in his first autobiography stated that when at PSV, Kenny talked to him about signing Ronaldo.

if only...

How fast is Ben Brereton? Is it likely he ran a 10k today in 37 minutes?! Spotted the same name in Market Drayton 10k results I ran in this morning. It’s not far from Stoke, so not beyond the realms of possibility.

if it is, he beat me anyway 

I do own this beaut. Tim flowers in this kit is the reason I follow the rovers! 

Anyone got this garish 90s classic kicking around in a loft somewhere that they would be happy to part with? One from the youth I’ve always wanted for the collection.

good condition, M upwards ideally. Happy to discuss price via PM ?

Google seems to suggest that he decided the time was right to leave. Currently working at the football luminaries that are Swindon.

jacket now sold anyway ?

Been suggested to me by J*B that this is the best place for this.

i picked this up on eBay as I haven’t had a rovers bench jacket since uhlsport days, but sadly after arriving today, large means large, and it’s too big. I’m marathon training and have lost weight, so unfortunately it’s unwearable for me. It seems to have at one point belonged to Chris Neville, head of fitness or the like. Remember him? No, me neither. It is in excellent condition with no obvious flaws.  Before I stick it back on eBay, I thought I’d see if it was of any interest to anyone on here.  Just looking to recoup what I paid which was £40 inc. p&p.

paypal would be best if anyone wants it. Please PM me if so. Thanks

I was underwhelmed with his appointment but I was prepared to give him a chance. If you can't rally the troops for a game as important as today I'm sorry but you haven't got what it takes.

Keith Hill again for me. Somebody who knows how to operate on a shoestring in the League we'll be playing in next season.

I was at Shrewsbury Rochdale today. Hill was wearing jeans and shirt: very odd. And Rochdale offered nothing. The standard of football in league 1 is dire.  God help us 

Prepared to back Mowbray certainly. Sneaky feeling we will edge a win tonight.

Proof will be in who he wants to sign for me if he is just a yes man or his own man, despite having no cash whatsoever to spend.

Will he state he has been tracking Abdoul Ba for years...

I can't see much point in that when none of those kids will get a place in their first team. I suppose it prevents other teams getting them though.

That was a big point raised actually.  A lot of it is to stop United getting them.

I teach in Shrewsbury, and we have had a lad at City since the age of 6.  Has to train in Manchester twice a week.  Madness

Man City have blown United away in the north west at youth level. 

Been a very interesting special on 5live tonight and about talent spotting in Manchester. Basically city try to sign everything up from the age if 4-5, and offer a private education up to 18 even if the players are released before then. Makes it very difficult for parents to turn down.

People telling me Lowe was sacked and paid up 12 months ago and then brought back later by Barry Bling to the consternation of everybody at Brockhall. Now he is Assistant bloody manager!!  If this is true we are  one massive sh1t hole of a club these days.Jesus H , what have we ever done to deserve these clueless cretins? 

Why would Barry get involved to bring him back?  Of all the things to get involved in at Ewood, I don't see it being this.

I'm more concerned with Dunn's ability to get himself fit, never mind the first team.

Just now, Tyrone Shoelaces said:

On another point - how come Lowe has leapfrogged both Johnno and Dunny in the pecking order and how come Dunny has leapfrogged Johnno ?    From what bit I understand Johnno was doing a great job with the younger players.

Best to leave him there then? Push them on to the first team.

Shocked by this news, always enjoyed reading Kelbo's posts, which I found to be extremely balanced, knowledgeable, and which demonstrated a sheer passion for all things Rovers.

Having just got married at the weekend, and with this news, it really puts the whole game of football into perspective - some things are just more important.

RIP Kelbo, Rovers have lost a true supporter too soon.

Thanks for the offer - got one off ebay and added worthington cup patches to it as well as name and number.

Also got the number signed by the man himself at Chorley game, now one of my favourite shirts!

I'm after the above shirt in as good a condition as possible if anyone has one and is tempted to sell. Needs to be size L though, as I remember having XL and it was huge.

I have the '10 Jansen' and Worthington Cup patches just waiting to be attached!

Thanks

Sam

Sold mine on ebay a few months back - shame, would definitely have let you have it

Sons of Anarchy is a class programme, def worth a watch.

I'm currently persevering with Chicago Code as it was made by the same guy as the Shield. Bit of a slow start, but its gradually improving

Ha, no weight increase, just natural height through my childhood to teenage years!

1999-2000 third shirt

2002 - 2003 home shirt

2007 - 2008 home shirt

As my football shirt collection is easily over 100, my girlfriend is forcing me to have a clear out...

Therefore I am sticking them on ebay over this weekend.

Rovers ones are:

1997-1998 8 and Gallacher (S)

1997-1998 20 and Croft (M)

1999-2000 9 and Sutton (L)

I shall be putting more on over the weekend so check back for more

Due to my age I am relatively unaware of Rovers pre the Premiership years - got into Rovers through Flowers 93-94 season I think.

So I'm always on the look out for vhs's off ebay so I can catch up on history.

I managed to pick up the 91-92 promotion season for a couple of quid the other day and I watched it last night while the missus' is away.

So Speedie - for a small guy, what a great header of the ball! Some cracking finishes on there.

All I remember Speedie from is Central sports live which was a midlands ITV thing on a sunday where they featured a live game from a midlands team.

He was in the twilight of his career and was playing for Leicester.

a true gent on the two tours I had as a kid.

His passion for the club was clear for all to see.

They don't make them like they used to.

RIP Ronnie

I won this in a competition through skybet, but being halfway through the season I already have a home shirt so I don't want it.

I listed it at £9.99 originally and its only on £11.55 now with 6 hours to go, so anyone who wants a new shirt who doesnt already have one I doubt you will get one cheaper than this at the moment

only 6 hours to go...
