Regarding Sunday's Bolton game, this is quite a poignant match for me. After 30 years and 8 months, and a run of 617 consecutive home league games, stretching back to 21st Feb, 1976 (lost 3-0 to Portsmouth), I'm going to miss the Bolton game due to a weak moment last year when I agreed to a fortnight's holiday in Florida with the family. In October. During the footie season.

During this time, I've never missed a single league game due to holidays, work, illness, weddings, funerals or any other minor event.

I'm truly gutted. What was I thinking of???

Interestng you should say that, Paul. The last email I received from BRISA was on 21st May!

(OT - Sorry)

Dont get to carried away. In order to get the grooby Pabby will have to upload the Rovers goals all the way up to the final

I might just do that! It was better than working for an hour or so on Friday afternoon!

Talking of Salzburg's goalkeeper ..... after 10 mins the ball was headed back to him. It was nothing fancy, awkward or powerful, but he let it go under his foot, couldn't catch it and the ball ended up just wide of the post!

No shame here. The fans deserve to see the goals.

I take it you won't be tuning in then, Flopsy?

So admitting to being a self confessed technophobe' can we see these goals or not?

I've created a video of the goals from the Salzburg match and uploaded it to YouTube. It can be found here

Enjoy!

Where Are They Now - Blackburn Worthingto Cup Winners 2002

Article from Square Football which doesn't actually say where most of them are...

If he'd read this board he'd actually have known!

OK...updated (again!)

Egersunds IK (NorwaY) - Jimmy Quinn (Manager)

It needs updating again! - Jimmy Quinn is the new manager of Cambridge United.

The DVD burner's in overdrive at the mo' .....

Here are the noisy 700 in all their glory

Careful Paul, is it legal to possess mpg's in Haslingden with intent to supply ? Hope special branch don't read this board ........

(Apparently, <cough>) You can get everything else supplied as needed in Haslingden, so a couple of MPGs ain't gonna cause any ripples, that is until the local Mafia want in on the scene!

Has anybody actually seen the game tonight or the goals?

I've watched the game from the bittorrent downloads posted last night. After a shaky start, after we'd scored our 1st goal I thought the lads played really well. As has been mentioned, Tugay was outstanding. And I've got to say this just because of the alarming regularity that it happens - Lucas Neill was ball watching as their player stole in at the far post to head home the equaliser. The guy ran for 10 yards with his hand in the air as the ball was delivered from 35 yards away, but Neill was more interested in the ball and was then helpless as he nodded it past Brad into the net. It was the kind of goal we've seen scored against us a too many times for it to be coincidental.

If anyone's in the Whitebirk area today, (or Haslingden over the weekend) and wants a copy of the game (2 x mpgs), PM me.

Paul,

I will apologise now for knowingly posting one of these links tonight.

Even after posting 2 messages giving the biggest hints I could without including actual links, there were still so many fans posting requests for the actual instructions that I couldn't satisfy them all via PMs and didn't want anyone to miss out (they didn't as it turned out).

I knew the mods would be on the ball with my link post, but I just felt it was worth it given the content tonight.

I hope you understand my reason for breaking the sites posting rules. Once again, I apologise.

Regards,

Paul

More from Shanghai Sports .....

It now looks as though Rovers match will be on at 3AM UK time.

Think I'll give it a miss .....

Just checked the world clock website. It's currently 09:04am in China. Rovers may well be on delayed coverage at 9pm our time.

They are not 12 hours ahead. Its about 8-9 hours ahead

Oops! My mistake - it says 10:00am, not 08:00am. This is how it translates on Babelfish ....

Live video recording: 2006-07 European Union cup group match first turn of first round (Salzburg - 布莱克本)

Just checked the Shangha Sports website and it lists Rovers game at 08:00 their time. Hope that's 8pm our time!

This doesn't look good.

Is anyone actually watching Rovers on t'internet?

I guess there's a few fans who will be watching on their PC tonight who may not be too technical, so, for anyone watching via TVAnts / Shanghai Sports:

The sooner you connect, the better and more stable your connection will be.

I'm connected now and it is a decent picture, even at full screen. Don't know about the Chinese commentary though .....

I dont have a link to a live stream but surly the more people logging onto one the slower it would get so it would be pointless everyone using the same one anyway

Not necessarily true, in fact, the exact opposite could apply. If you access Shanghai Sports from the correct site, it is delivered in a similar way to how bittorrent works. So, the more viewers that connect, the better the quality of the stream, especially if we're all in East Lancs!

Google is your friend.

Both MGP's and Reid's goals have just been shown in Match of the Day's December Goal of the Month competition.

I reckon Zamora will win it though.

There's an asian Rovers fan on the official board who confirmed that they were singing about a "town full of pakkies".

Whilst he did not seem particularly bothered about it and nobody has made a media issue out of it, I hope the Wigan Club get it sorted out.

It's not just Wigan that have to get it sorted. At half-time, whilst trying to fight my way out of the loo, a largish group of Rovers fans were singing a Kuqi tribute song to the tune of The Flintstones. A snippet from the lyrics infers that he indulges in a spot of "Paki bashing".

Only one word to describe these morons - SCUM.

found out just before i was about to set off

the only way i was inconvenienced was the fact i had just put gel on the second before it was announced.
