Shocking post.

You've got a point. The inflight entertainment on Qatari Airways is very Barca heavy.

I was seduced by the Charlie Newhouse YouTube reel.

At the risk of dragging this into Geo Politics, does everybody's favourites Barca cop grief for their Qatari links?

If only Sunderland had a manager who knew how to get out of that division with a "big budget".

Bravo sir!

Berkovic was the consummate lock picker.

I have fond memories of my Dad having to calm me down when the Telegraph announced McKenzie's signing. He didn't disappoint.

I haven't given it that much thought. Don't most clubs have a GK coach? I'm just wondering why ours is copping flack when he wasn't identified as a problem when Raya was getting rave reviews. Maybe he's become a bad GK coach? Maybe those that have genuine connections at the club can enlighten us? Or perhaps the GK coach needs to take his place in the stocks alongside Mowbray and Waggott.

Ah right. So when Raya was in sparkling form the Goalkeeper coach was a good 'un?

I'm really puzzled at the negativity towards the goalkeeping coach. Does somebody know something definitive about him not being up to snuff?

Truly the ugly face of football. Gurning prick. A mate lived down that way for a bit after leaving the Navy. He reckons Pompey fans are 'Southern Dingles'. I can see his point.

We did and it looked good. Sadly, I think it was symptomatic of our status at the time and that commercial sponsors didn't want to touch us. ICI Perspex, Crown Paints, HSA and AMD Processors all looked decent on our shirts.

We haven't got to the end of May and this is already the second comical overreaction (I'm counting the outrage caused by Derby signing Shinnie)

Killjoy.

He's not all that according to some Bolton fans (this view had been expressed before he handed in his notice) He didn't manage to force his way into a very poor team this season either. Luca Connell, on the other hand, has apparently put Bolton on notice that he's off and would appear to be a much more interesting potential target.

I watched my first game on ifollow (Swansea) and it was pretty good and worth the money. With daylight saving coming in here for the winter it was on at a decent time and I was able to watch straight after enjoying Adelaide Utd's progress to the A league semi finals. Sadly, of course, the days of watching Rovers live on Foxtel in the wee small hours are gone and I mostly wake up on a Sunday morning and go straight to google for the score.

Isn't it the case that Reed wants to impress the new boss at Soton and isn't interested in a permanent move to Ewood?

That's a poor record but I think they're a good side nevertheless. They got on top when we couldn't seem to readjust after losing Bennett. Lots of room for improvement but some stuff to be excited by.

Much better after that very worrying first half when we just didn't deal with Swansea's slick movement and passing or the Bennett readjustment. We were well on top second half although Swansea clocked off a bit. We still looked vulnerable when Swansea got forward but some real positives in the second 45. Rothwell's bursts forward make him an exciting prospect and Davenport looked very comfortable on the ball and has potential to become an accomplished player on that showing.

Can't get near them. They're miles better than us.

That line up should be under the dictionary definition of 'meh'.

Ossy is very blue and white. As for it's allegiances or otherwise to Hyndburn I think most Ossy folk aren't that bothered but tend to identify with Accrington and probably wouldn't mind an amalgamation with Accy if Hyndburn ceased to be an entity.

Andy Holt is a good, responsible owner who is doing his bit for his club. It can't be easy being based in a small town wedged between Rovers and b*ly. Stanley have done fantastically well when you consider where they have come from, I have a lot of affection for them being from the area. Interesting that he has taken up the cudgels against Rovers, perhaps an acknowledgement that Hyndburn is largely blue.

Didn't we have Tommy Hutchinson as an apprentice?
