  1. Yes super stuff by Ireland den. Hammered in 1st test, they rode their luck last weekend when Ta'avao was sent off in 1st half, but today was exceptional by Ireland, historic. Hoping England can do the same shortly against Aussies, flicking between Lancs v Yorkshire game too.
  2. At the cup game in Glasgow, I was struck by the numbers of Irish teenagers singing songs about IRA killing the English, when most of them were just a twinkle in daddies eye when the troubles were raging. This was in the pubs close to ground, we were in The Bairds Bar for a while, most of the pub in town were fine and to be honest ignoring the spotty knobheads the Bairds was fine too.
  3. If we sign no one we'll be playing the tea lady, oh wait a minute........ hasn't she been sacked too? Get your boots out of the cupboard rigger.
  4. QPR tickets on sale, seasons fast approaching, have we signed anyone yet? Or is it time for the relegation thread @jim mk2
  5. Bought Bob Dylan tickets for London Palladium in October today, saw him in Blackpool on his last UK visit, superb. Bruce Springsteen tickets on sale next week.
  6. https://www.lancs.live/sport/football/football-news/blackburn-rovers-sherwood-criticises-mowbray-24491072.amp Tim Sherwood on the sacking of Mowbray.
  7. Its all rather predictable isn't it. You can change the manager, change the players, change the scout, change the colour of the Blackburn End bogs, but until we change the owners we are never going to change the ambition at the club. I'm mindful to start the relegation thread myself, but I don't want to steal @jim mk2thunder. Worrying times.
  8. Billionaire owners eh...... It was pointed out last season that Mowbray missed out on all his original loan tagets, now you know why. It ended up really well with Van Hecke, thats testament to the manager and his scouting team, but again we find ourselves unable to compete in the loan market as well as the transfer market. I'm sure JDT knew the constraints he's be working under when he signed, how long he'll put up with this is anyone's guess.....
  9. Loved the film, great to see those actors and director back one more time, but the story was way off the mark. Its widely agreed Frank Sheehan was not involved in the killing of Hoffa, this film was more than just creative license from Scorsese, it was made up, based on the book, but I'm still glad he made the film.
  10. Best owner in the league, he’s seen it all before, a Boro version of Jack Walker. Give me the Boro model over our poundshop mid table ambition any day of the week.
  11. Boro have tonight bid £8m for Thomas Henry from Venezia, a real statement of intent, no wonder Lenihan moved. All this whilst we work within our mid table wage structure with billionaire owners.
  12. I can't wait for the first new signing to be interviewed: "I came here because of JDT, I watched him as a kid for Milan and I hope to one day play at very highest level" 😉
  13. Derek Chisora beat Pulev last night by split decision live on DAZN. It hasn't always been the case with Chisora, I remember a poor fight in Monaco not that long back, but more recently he's been box office, gives 110% and I'd pay to watch him every time he fights. Last night was a close fight, both men went at it for 12 rounds, lacking quality but take nothing away from these 2 warriors. Made up for Derek, I hope he retires on a win, but so often they don't, that extra payday will be hard to turn down.
  14. Pine Barrens, one the best episodes in the entire series. Directed by Steve Buscemi of Boardwalk Empire fame and played Tonys cousin in The Sopranos.
  15. Balaji can’t rock up at the Pune Working Mens Club and boast about pocket change like that over a cold Lassi! £10, £15, or £20 million is where it’s at.
  16. Gleeson is on fire, took the wickets of Sharma, Pant and Kholi, on debut! He finished on 3-15.
  17. I bet we won’t do better as a club. The Armstrong money was trousered, I’d wager the Brereton money will be too. Mowbray will turn a massive profit on these 2 players alone, I’m surprised they got rid, as promotion has never been a priority for these owners, buying cheap and selling for profit is more important to them.
  18. Brilliant character, he was in numerous mob films too including The Godfather. He was associated with the Columbo crime family in his young days under Carmine ‘The Snake’ Persico. RIP
  19. Because we are skint, managerial change doesn’t alter that fact.
  20. Your performance was almost as good Asia, must be stupid o’clock in your neck of the woods. Good effort sir.
