Thats The Way Love Is

I can’t get decent WiFi in parts of the house. Nasa have landed a remote control Rover and are beaming pictures back from Mars!

Pissing down and the pitch is awful, should be like playing at Ewood.

I can see the glow of the Oakwell floodlights from my house. They're saying 1-2 Rovers. Come on.

I was on one of those bazza 👍 First trip to Wembley, getting goose bumps just writing this. Without doubt my greatest day watching the famous Blue and Whites. We had nowt, we never expected owt and we won the bloody thing.

Just witnessed the biggest shock in a boxing ring in decades. Warrington wasn’t right tonight, but take nothing away from Lara, I’m stunned.

Very good darrenrover. Yes it’s taken at the side of King Georges before a Bunnymen gig early/mid 80’s, with The Jubilee in the background and terrace house where waves used to stand.

The chaps a scouser.

The pub - An event in 1977. The chap in the picture - surname is a rank in the Army/Airforce.

Nope - The pub in the background is a giveaway.

Come on you 80’s music fans, who is the chap in the white T-Shirt and where is this taken?

It’s like school boy football at times, but great to watch. Rovers goal coming you dirty PNE ****s

Any ideas who and where:

Those pics are superb. I saw the poster above for sale recently - £900 - drawing pins and a rip!!

Baby baby baby baby: THE casualty list tells its own story. More than 50 youths and girls were treated for fainting and shock, others complained of headaches and earache because of the noise. That was the scene at King George's Hall last night when 2,000 young fans welcomed chart - topping group Slade, back to North East Lancashire with their "Slade's Crazee Nite" Ten nurses and 10 male attendants from Blackburn branch of the British Red Cross Society, who volunteered for duty at the concert, had a hard job dealing with the casualties at their makeshift first aid post outside the main hall. Divisional officer Norman Lakin, who was in charge of the operation, said later "Since Slade came on stage we have had a constant stream of fans coming in here. Most of them have been treated for fainting and being crushed in front of the stage." Crushed "We have had one or two ill - with headaches and earache too. This is the hardest job we have ever had at a concert at King George's Hall." It was no surprise that some fans complained of headache and earache, and that many others were walking round with their fingers in their ears. For Slade are LOUD, too loud to listen to in comfort and certainly too loud for fans to really enjoy their music. Even in the bar at the back of the hall with the doors closed the sound was overpowering. But it did not seem to deter the hundreds of banner and scarf waving youngsters who packed the auditotium in front of the stage or the hundreds of others upstairs in the balcony. Football From the opening blast of "Take Me Bak 'Ome" to the dying echoes of the encore "Mama Weer All Crazee Now" most of them were on their feet, arms in the air, clapping and swaying to the songs that have taken Slade to the top of the charts several times in the past three years. Even with the so called quieter numbers like "When The Lights Go Out" and their current hit "Everyday" the scenes were more reminiscent of a football match than a pop concert. Slade had the fans chanting 'Rovers, Rovers' and singing 'You'll Never Walk Alone" During the most raucous number, "Get Down And Get With It" temporary barriers put up round the stage to cover last month's fire damage gave way under the crush of bodies. The support group, Beckett, had the unenviable task of opening the show. they have improved a lot since they played at the hall last year, but anyone who wanted to listen to them had to put up with chants of "We want Slade" and banners being waved in front of the group. They deserved a better audience with a selection of their own songs from their first album, and a version of Neil Young's " Southern Man" A 15 year old Fulwood girl, Pam Crook, won a cassette recorder in a competition at the interval to find the best dressed Slade fan.

One for OJF:

I must be getting old... Having read some of the posts on this page, several times, I’ve not got a Scooby doo whats being discussed 😃

The Lathums from Wigan, thought it was The Arctic Monkeys or The Coral when I first heard this track:

You can download it or listen again on bbc sounds DeeCee.

Thats a superb win away from home, Captain gets a double hundred, spinners actually spinning the ball and Anderson swing it round corners. The toss was key, but take nothing away from that performance, brilliant.

The last 4hrs has been really poor from England, they’re plodding around the pitch, no urgency, wake up!!

I’m not keen on this cricket social from BBC which has replaced TMS due to talk sport having the broadcasting rights. Cricket social is TMS crew watching channel 4 and talking about the game, it often descends into who can shout the loudest with little coverage of the game itself. I’ll be giving it a miss in future..
