No, many more mustard… But my point was we don’t want Ainsworth at the club whilst Venkys are running the show, he’ll not last 2 minutes in my opinion, no matter how good he is.

I said managers with better records. Danny Cowley and Nigel Clough.

Brilliant Moeen Ali. 175/6 India - Leading by 148.

Don’t tell them your prediction for yesterday…..Lordy Lordy 😩

214/6 off 48. Confident @matt83 What do you think?

Chris Sutton was the best example - played centre back for Norwich originally, then moved up front, the rest is history.

Raining at Clitheroe, Dingles 86/1 off 25

Why do I keep reading about Preston? Talk about lowering the bar, they’ve done nothing since 1950’s. As for Ainsworth, I can think of many managers in the lower leagues with better records, forget the Blackburn link. Ainsworth would be a good shout if we had local owners, the fans could get behind that idea, but under Venkys he’d be eaten alive, no thanks.

England putting themselves into a great position to win this. Come on Clitheroe 👍

I'm no fan of Nixon, but are you referring to the same Nixon that broke Armstrong to Southampton and Obafemi? You had Armstrong going to West Ham in January 😆 How gullible.....

@47er @renrag Thanks very much gents, great reads, appreciate you both taking the time. Ive always thought getting to the final was the reward, whatever happens on the day I’d accept, but that clearly is very different in practice.

Pearls of wisdom, can you offer anything on the game? Or is that you done?

Great kit and confidence, we need Ben to step up this season, he’s started extremely well.

@Sparks Rover You were so quick to put your foot in your mouth I couldn't resists 😁 But I could have picked plenty more 👍 Great result today with a depleted squad, Diaz 2 in 2, who needs Armstrong? A word for Mowbray, substitutions looked to have changed the game. Onwards and upwards.

Boooom We’ll never come back from 1 down 😂

He’ll never score goals in the Premiership 🙄

What a great gesture by the towns taxi drivers, I bet it meant so much to Donnas family and friends. Restores your faith in people a story like this, superb https://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/news/19512115.taxi-drivers-line-pay-final-respects-council-worker/

@47er I’ve just read that you attended the 1960 cup final? If you get the time can you give us a flavour of the day? How did you travel down? Football special? Coach or car? Where did you stand/sit? Id love to hear your account of the day or anyone else’s for that matter.

Beat me to it Matty:

Folk and country music singer-songwriter Nanci Griffith has died aged 68, that’s no age….. Saw her live a few years ago at Finsbury Park, just brilliant, she came on before Shane Mcgowen! Sad news.

Sadly, this doesn't improve until these owners crawl back under the rock from whence they came......or preferably the rock falls on them!

How about 20yrs of nights like Brentford had last night, pots in the cabinet, European football, watched some of the best players in Europe week in week out, had the best striker in the world banging in the goals, captain of England, I could go on. We have a proud history and you should remember that.

He delayed coming out at the start of the game too, just to let the locals know he was here 😂 Brilliant stuff from Souness, pity John Williams didn’t take the larger allocation, more Rovers fans could have experienced that night, even in defeat. As Jim says above, we tonked then on the night but conceded a sloppy goal against the run of play, the home performance was rubbish.

Maybe not quite as fast matt, but point taken. Nerves must have been off the scale for the lad, felt sorry for him really.

The collapse has begun.....
