Hey everyone, just to let you all know we have re-launched the BRFCS YouTube channel and would welcome any suggestions, contributions etc. To get the ball rolling, we have put our 2017 Christmas Podcast up there to whet your appetites for the 2018 Christmas & New Year ones we have planned...? Please subscribe if YouTube is your thing & we’ll put our creative hats on...?? https://www.youtube.com/user/brfcsdotcom

You read my mind...?

I think the premise was an initial ltd edition run to generate demand...which it did...to raise money for the charity as opposed to it being an ongoing commercial operation. i think it’s fair to say the response has been overwhelming & a number of people, me included, have said we should consider doing ones for other players in a similar vein. if we can persuade Jen then watch this space ?

I believe all now sold DB ?

Just for completeness, a stunning £540 raised...astonishing & well done everyone....

Thanks Riversider... Jen has done a terrific job - apparently some of the first ones sold on Saturday were to Harrison Reed’s mum !

1. Yes he has 2. Couldn’t possibly comment ?

Sound quality on this one not as I had hoped in fairness...our contributors were all coming through at different levels so trying to balance a quieter one with a louder one is “challenging” in those circumstances. We are planning to do our first face to face one at the end of the month so hopefully that will improve things...then again we might just end up talking over each other...!!! The title is what Michael (jokingly I should add) said when we talked about Ryan Grant leaving Rovers towards the end. I bleeped out the swear to keep our pod in the child friendly section of iTunes ! Hope that helps. ?

This has received a lot of traction on Twitter but for those forum members who don’t use Twitter I wanted to share this. The background is that Jen Bellamy, one of our regular podcast panel members, christened Harrison Reed the Ginger Ninja on one episode in a sort of throwaway line. When I went to Brockhall for Episode 100 of the pod, I also managed to grab a few words with Harrison Reed & shared with him the hashtag history & he said he was aware of it... Well one thing led to another...Jen designed a logo for the society...then she gauged interest in having some badges made up, proceeds to charity...then Ryan Grant spoke with Harrison & found out he had a pet charity... https://nervetumours.org.uk/what-are-nerve-tumours/what-is-nf1/support-for-adults-with-nf1 & So Jen crowdfunded the cost of manufacture, has had them made & will be selling them alongside Scott Sumner of 4000 Holes magazine fame, who will also be selling his latest edition...at the junction of Kidder St & Nuttall St tomorrow afternoon from 2pm. She is rightly excited & I for one am mightily impressed at the initiative & enthusiasm involved and the fact it raises money for a charity adopted by one of our players is just the icing on a rather splendid cake... So....please drop by tomorrow & buy one...or two...that’s basically the gist ??

Michael’s response was still probably a lot softer than it would have been had we recorded on Thursday...new bleep machine definitely required. Thanks for your support, spread the word ! ??

The pod squad convenes to review November, reflect on Sir Kenny Dalglish, Bill remembers Brockhall and much, much more. Join us & see if you can Guess The Rover before the panel & one of the panel swears...twice...no, not that one...I know. Thanks to Bill Arthur, Jen Bellamy, Tom Schofield, Michael Taylor & host Ian Herbert. View full record

Oh that we had such influence...???

Yup...oft discussed by @meadows & I ??

For absolute clarity @Batman. I have made several appeals on here for people to contribute items to the podcast. Your robust & vigorous defence of Souness is exactly the sort of discussion that I think would make for an interesting article. By badging the pieces “Revisionist Rovers” & explaining that your reaction is exactly the sort of reaction we hoped to get as it creates an interesting debate, I thought my intentions were transparent. Seemingly not. My use of the “thinking face” emoji was my attempt to see if you would give it some thought, no more, no less.

Do you fancy doing a rebuttal to Michael’s piece ? ?

That’s the purpose of the “Revisionist Rovers” pieces in a nutshell. Look back, review, re-assess with the benefit of hindsight come to a conclusion and share your opinion...which may or may not provoke a discussion. I’d love for more people to come forward and contribute a theme of their choice & provoke some more discussion... *hint* ??
