Can the mod who is Lofty's mate please now step forward?

Maybe he remembers Pete Townsend from his childhood?

For all IE browser users, I suggest you give Avant Browser a try. I've been with this nifty piece of software since the early days of its development and it really is the dog's dangly bits.

Its features are too numerous to list here, but include:-

* flash animation & pop-up stoppers

* tabbed windows (only one entry on your Windows task bar)

* auto-page refresh

* built-in Googleand Yahoo search engines

* multi-page auto-load when you start the software

* user-definable url shortcuts

* full IE configuration compatibility

Give it a try - you won't be disappointed.

Cruel!

He has got some mates, y'know ......

I think Paul Weller should be on the poll list seeing as he's the Modfather.

Being a Rovers fan and also being used to England failing when they shouldn't, I reckon it'll be either 2-1 to Portugal or they'll do us on penalties.

Oh, and I predicted 2-1 to Croatia the other night too.

I've recently downloaded a few Simon & Garfunkel boots from various stages of their relationship, including one recorded just last week.

Absolutely wonderful listening.

Top totty behind the bar and the best pint of Guiness this side of Dublin.

Rovers have turned down an official bid for Todd from Wigan - here.

Today's LET has this Souness quote regarding Tugay:

"We haven't heard anything yet, but I'm confident he will be signing because he told me last week he would be signing. I'm not sure it's happened yet, but I can't say any more than that because he's in Turkey at this time."

So it looks as though Tugay's going to be around for at least another 12 months.

I just hope his invisible friend has found a new club!

Can we have a poll on which injury he's going to pick up 1st?

I've watched his career with interest since he gave us a mauling at Ewood when City were promoted. He ain't that bad, y'know.

Good luck to him. We need more players who are prepared to give it 100% every game.

My Wanky Wanderers supporting collegue tells me that the Lancashire Cup is being resurrected next season and that Rovers have been drawn to play Blackpool in the 1st round.

Other than posting a link to the Wanky Wanderers website (actual text below), I can't find any other info. about it.

Here's to drawing the Dingles in the next round!

LANCASHIRE FA officials met at Leyland yesterday to give the green light to the return of a long-established county cup competition.

The Thurston Road boardroom decision followed talks over recent weeks between several of the county's leading sides.

As a result, Premier League sides Blackburn Rovers and Bolton Wanderers will again do battle in the LFA Challenge Cup alongside six Nationwide League sides from this coming season.

And league officials based at Leyland were hopeful that FA Cup winners Manchester United would rejoin the competition the following season.

The Lancashire 'senior cup', as it is better known, was first held in 1879, but has not been contested since the late 1990s.

Blackburn Rovers are the all-time champion of champions in the contest with 16 wins, five more than next best Bolton Wanderers, Burnley, Liverpool and Manchester United.

The only Red Rose club to come close to that record in Lancashire FA competitions is Chorley, with 13 wins in the 'junior cup', currently known as the Marsden Trophy.

Rovers kick off the new competition at Blackpool, while Bolton Wanderers host Preston North End, Oldham Athletic play Bury, and Burnley take on Rochdale.

The ties will be played on a knockout basis on first team or reserve grounds, and are set to include a mix of first team, reserve and youth players.

First round ties have to be complete by September 1, possibly as pre-season matches.

A stark set of numbers from the boys at Football365.

Mercy me. They really do need a miracle.

The brother-in-law-to-be is a Leeds ST holder and he reckons they won't see out the season without going into administration. The money that's got to be repaid by the summer is apparently going to force their hand.

System of a Down anyone?

What is it that's so enticing about their music? Not all of it's great, but 'Toxicity' doesn't half take a hold when you've played it a few times.

Off to see The Doors (of the 21stC) on Thursday at Wembley Arena. The fact that there's only 2 original members (and of course, no Jim Morrison), means they're little better than a "tribute" band to many people, but I still can't wait to hear some of the best rock music ever written played "live".

"There's a killer on the road, ......."

I've just noticed that Jay McEveley is only behind Henry, Van Nistledonkey and Scholes in the number of teams in which he has been selected on fantasy.premierleague.com - some 24,696 people have selected him! And Friedel & Emerton aren't far behind either in 8th & 9th place respectively.

The Stand - Stephen King

Birdsong - Sebastian Faulkes

The Doors 'live' in Vancouver on the PC.

21 and a bit .... err, 16 bits actually.

But you're only as old as the woman you feel .....  

Not allowing season ticket holders to purchase extra tickets for the Celtic game is simply one way of ensuring 2 things:-

1..Fans who buy their tickets on a per-match basis should be able to get a ticket without them all being snapped up by S.T.H.s for their friends.

2..S.T.H.s are probably the ones most likely to purchase tickets for Celtic fans, so by not selling to them it's one less way for Celtic fans to infiltrate the home areas of the ground.

I know that not being allowed to buy extra tickets, even though I'm a season ticket holder, saves me from being hasselled by all and sundry whenever a big game arises. It saves me from having to say "No" and putting noses out of joint.

It doesn't mean its right though, does it?
