Pt, I do envy your life in Portugal. I also have lived abroad and it is quite easy to forget the daily grind of life in England. There has been a marked change in football since perhaps you last lived here, Finance is tight at the club and JW is doing his best along with the manager in keeping us first and foremost a premiership club. Bolton and Allardyce got a lot of praise last season for really achieving very little when you examine the facts apart from keeping Bolton in the Prem. You are criticising the club for the same policy. If you watched the team from the algarve last season on Sky then that accounted for only 10% of games. ITV highlights are misleading. Any club needs a balance of youth and experience and I think Souey has got it just right.Fitness and diet are so much more advanced these days that players are playing on to a greater age than was the case in the 70`s and 80`s so I dont really think that 31 or 32 for a player makes him apply for a ""zimmer frame" as you said. Souness knows the players he would like to have but probably has to settle for good expeienced pros who could bring him 6th place or a trophy. I think the club is well run and I believe they are aware of our great history as a football team- a town team - who took on and won the league .That unfortunately will never happen and I believe that you from the comfort of your place in the sun think it can. We all have to be realists which is not the same as being defeatist.

I still feel that there more fans out there who would love to come to games but are put off by the ticket mechanism at Ewood. Is it totally out of the question that a cash only turnstile be started at the ground so that the casual supporter could come down pay his money and gain access without the performance of ringing up 4 days in advance to collect your ticket from an ice cream van parked next to Jack Walkers statue? Will the introduction of a swipe card alienate the casual fan even more? As a season ticket holder I applaud the club for freezing prices for next season, I just think the interest is there in so many more fans to come to matches.

I understand that Alastair Campbell wants to be manager as hes looking for a job.

So you are suggesting we get Reid and Souness goes to Leeds.Then all will be well! Just brilliant.Hope the board have thought of that solution.

Im, amazed and saddened that we still have tickets left for the CELTIC GAME TO ARGUE OVER.

Dont be bitter be so very proud that we have a GREAT team to support.We were absolutely fantastic from start to finish apart from the crucial moment .I`ve said all week that man-for-man we are the better side.Yorke was different class and Thompson was man of the match.Iam just so pleased the nation could see what we see each week.How many teams go to Celtic and outplay the Hoops?Im not bothered if we go through or not I am just so proud that I have seen my team that I have watched since 1955 give a performance like that.Souness you are a great manager.

Lets hope then that there is a big screen set up somewhere for the extra fans or better still watch it at home in Glasgow.
