Just got the Dave Clarke World Service Series, absolutey superb collection of Techno and Electro. Also if you are into your Trance, get the Trance Energy 2007 CD, likes of Marcel Woods, Cosmic Gate etc- top notch! If you are into your Hard Trance, get the Tidy Resonate series, especially 1 to 4. Class. Going Ibiza for the summer on 21st May, back just in time for Tidy Weekender 12! havent been yet but looks pretty messy! -
[Archived] Tugay Appreciation Society
Mattyblue replied to Nayef's topic in Football Messageboard Archive
The whole article was a direct copy from the Rovers programme on Saturday. Another BBC exclusive! -
Agreed Paul, what exactly can the club do a day before the game? The club would have done their upmost if their was enough time, talk about the modern football fan being spoilt.

I can not believe the bleating I am reading, in 15 years we have had THREE games called off at Ewood, this being the first one due to the cold, it happens, its part of being a football fan, the analagy of the fridge failing at Tesco sums up precisely the problem we have got at Blackburn Rovers, we are not a conveyer belt business where all products are always at maximum efficency, things go wrong you get over it. Those who have made a long journey I feel for you but its not exactly a regular occurence. Get behind the club and any floating fans get back for the rematch.

[Archived] reviews for boro' games.
Mattyblue replied to ihtd's topic in Football Messageboard Archive
Great performance from a side that are on the verge of something big. There will be blips (Fulham away etc) as we are building but Hughes has installed a spine through the side that is very hard to get the better of. Frightening levels of fitness and power, increased technical ability and in Friedel, Nelsen, Tugay and Bellamy, 4 players who would walk into nearly every Premiership side. MH has done an amazing job in just 14 months, the dark days are now a fading memory. -
[Archived] Accrington Stanley
Mattyblue replied to mattjansen's topic in Football Messageboard Archive
Are you lot mad? Little Accy Stanley etc. The North West and our part of it in particular is overflowing with league clubs, Rovers need another league club 5 miles away like a hole in the head. If Accy come up and attract another 1k on the gate that is a potential Rovers fanbase gone, our clubs future is on the line and excuse me for my Scrooge mentality but the days when every town in Lancashire could have a league club and get good attendances are long gone-concentrate on the ROVERS, we need your support! -
Tough it was a Carling Cup 4th round game, as that 3rd goal went in I lost it more than I have done for a long time, as did Stuwiliky as he came bounding down 4 rows of seats to me! We were out of the game completely at 2-0 until a Hughes masterstroke with the subs came along. Brilliant comeback and a brilliant atmosphere. Just brilliant.

I do not accept that one bit. Wigan's gates have jumped from around 7thousand home fans a game last season to around 16 thousand in one summer. Wigan are at their all time peak and still can't attract more home fans than Rovers. It is not sustainable. Rovers have had over 15thousand home fans for nearly 15 years.

By the way Jim I this myth about Burnley's gates being so impressive in the 60s and 70s has now been blown away by a new segment in the Times on Monday's that picks a top division Saturday from yesteryear, showing scores and gates. Every home gate of Burnley's in that period has been sub 20k. Cup games maybe but not on a regular basis.

I cannot state enough that BRISA is working extremely harmoniously considering how much we are trying to get through and the varying opinions being expressed. People have to get to grips with the fact that this is an INTERIM period, I feel it would be unwise to set up an elected committee at this stage because nobody really has an idea of how much work is involved (if I sound like a Soviet dictator promising free and fair elections at some distant point, I apologise!). I would all hope that we all want BRISA to to be a success, so instead of petty squabbles and political point scoring why don't we all have a bit of patience and get behind the project at this challenging but also very exciting time. -

My view on PES5 is mixed. Plus point is it is now easier to score long shots, but I just find it too slow, I played PES4 straight after and it is blinding fast in comparison. -
We criticise them when they don't perfom, quite rightly after some debacles. But when they play like that there is no other team like England, the pace and passion was superb. Truely great football match. Bring on the World Cup. ps what a site the England fans were as the 3rd crashed in. What a moment!

I don't agree with that. The Riverside hasnt been 'virtually full' all season, percentage wise I would say the JW lower (the bit that would be visible on the TV) is more full. -
I did'nt get a ticket, I havent missed a game in 3 years. 3 hours too late. Talking to JW At the Ewood Blues meeting, sales were very slow before the Charlton game and we sold 1000 on monday! In a way I'm bitterly dissapointed but I'm also bloody delighted fans are clambouring for tickets again. I will be there one way or another!

That's about 450 more than they usually bring, they win 5 away games on the trot and they are all jumping on the bandwagon! -
There was a free child offer on for the Wigan game yesterday.

450 in bottom-full. About 400 again in the top. Pretty darn good. -
Absloute nightmare for travelling fans. How to get out of work for this one!

What the hell are all you lot all talking about? I thought in the latter days of Souness he was struggling as were all the players, but he is a top class goalkeeper and pro, one of the best in the Premiership. Money should not be thrown away on bringing in a keeper or should he be replaced by the other third rate goalies at the club.

Mattyblue replied to Presty On Tour's topic in Football Messageboard Archive
Very proud of the lads yesterday. Travelling back I was in great spirits. If we play like that against most sides we will win a hell of a lot of matches. Lampard and Essien (I thought they were outstanding) aside we matched most of their players. Also, very impressive following considering,a full bottom tier and a decent number upstairs. -

Very much so. Hope people didnt think I hogged the mike (I was the one with the supid hair cut, according to our esteemed chairman!), my mates seemed to place me as group spokesman! Great night. -

Mattyblue replied to Presty On Tour's topic in Football Messageboard Archive
By the way, Chelsea fans are expecting more of our 'carve up' tactics. 'Dirty Northern .......?' Funny how we are such a disgusting side, yet they are hoping for Essien to be 'unleashed' and wish Wise was playing to sort us out. Is there a club in world football that makes you sick more? Spolit, arrogant Jonny come lately fans, rip off owners. BRING IT ON!
