Gav

I’ve sent you a direct message @USABlue - Your shirt has come back!

If anyone is still in any doubt, what the intention is of our wonderful owners, look at the team today. It’s not bad luck with injuries, its gross incompetence and nothing changes until they’re gone. VENKYS OUT - NOTHING ELSE MATTERS

I think it was @47er that said that to me a while back now, it really stopped and made me think to be honest. Keep your head up pal, these rats won't be here forever, I get the feeling we are on the brink of change, fingers crossed.

Hello pal, hope you are well. The last time I thought we'd never score was Charlton at home, we of course scored 2! So i'm not falling for that Ricky 🤣 But you're probably right, good side Ipswich too.

I feel a bit of fake giving advice to someone going through such a life changing experience, as I've personally not been through it myself. But what I can say, is someone very close to me was given only 10% chance of survival when diagnosed out of the blue with ‘C’. This person thankfully is still with us today, 10yrs later and I’m 100% convinced staying positive, exercising in her case where she could, and just cracking on with things, helped this person immensely. It sounds like you’re adopting the same approach DeeCee. I hope you don’t think I’m preaching here and as you know, K-Hod rightly says above, we are all behind you pal.

Safe trip @Parsonblue and to the rest of the fans making the 500 mile round trip. This could be one of those games that we sneak a result, I hope, for the travelling fans, we do just that. Ipswich 1 Blackburn 1

Another FA Cup game here from 1950’s, this time away at Cardiff with Rovers taking 4000 fans. I was surprised to read 5 aeroplanes carrying 200 supporters each taking fans too! You don’t associate away travel with planes back in the day, or I don’t. Draw away from home, we won 2-1 back at Ewood:

@K-Hod - I got a couple of family members vouchers for Eight at Gazegill for Christmas, I'll let you know if you've made or ruined their Christmas 🤣

I've been in the pub, Crookes Sheffield, or is that the Blind Monkey........

I’ve just seen someone on twitter blaming Ben Benson. We do have some morons supporting us, I need to get rid of twitter and book myself into therapy.

Strong rumours he was replacing Allardyce, the rest is history…..

Can we understand the ‘Formula’ what does it take to boycott a match? Anyone know a dingle? Can we get the answer please?

Not a bad Derby side that included Charlie George, who scored 2 on the day. Did you go on the Ewood Express @Waggy76 ?

In my experience we usually bottle it in front of a big crowd, outside of the glory years, especially away from home.

Just listening to some of the away followings today: 5000 Boro at Fulham 7000 Exeter at City 7000 Sunderland at Everton 7000 Villa at Spurs Its clear the fans hold FA Cup in high regard.

Yes I know all about that, he was targeted and went to prison. I’d have been in full support of Ricky at the time, it’s more recently I don’t agree with his politics, but I can separate that from the man today.

You’re right, they won it a few years before that, but still a giant killing in ever sense of the word.

Derby County 3 Blackburn Rovers 1 FA Cup 5th Round Feb 26 1977 Att 30,439 (6000 away fans) Hope posters can read the report? Who went?

Still the best cup competition in the world, pity clubs these days treat it with so much disrespect. Macclesfied (National League N) 2 - Crystal Palace (FA CUP Holders) 1

I love Ricky Tomlinson, glad to see he’s still going strong and loving life to the full. I also noticed he’s touring working men’s clubs around the North: St Teresas social club Preston He’s doing 3 nights at Croston Social Club Leyland. Nowt in Rochdale Tyrone.

I spent ages trying to work out who the old chap was at the front, thinking he was the ex-Rover, then I noticed Mike Newel 🤣

Borrowed from Twitter, seemed appropriate:

Well done to Australia who have once again proven they are a much better side than this current England lineup. The media and especially for me the TMS team, had convinced themselves we’d beat Australia at a canter. Since Perth we’ve had to listen to them outraged because they got it wrong, very wrong, it’s pathetic listening to them on TMS to be honest. Don't get me wrong, we’ve handed several results to them on a plate, but they are simply a better side than us, it’s as simple as that.

It Gives us hope at Ewood that Hearts have produced a side like they have right now. They may not win the league, but the club was in turmoil until recently, now look at them.

Jason Wilcox, also know as Handbag if you stood on The Riverside, where he was given dogs abuse early in his career. Keith Andrews is one of the only players booed when announced in the starting lineup! Not heard that to often at Ewood thankfully. Tough being a football at times.
