The edit points on a couple of those goals suggest some CRAZEEE defending judging by the position of the keeper...! Danny Graham still has an eye for a goal. Other than that, no great revelations...

OK...we've watched the preview...now wonder in awe at how Granada & BBC TV celebrated the final...glorious stuff ahoy...

Here's a lovely little preview on Football Focus of the Full Member's Cup final - includes Dave Whelan, Ronnie Clayton, a penalty against Bradford City, Don Mackay & various vox pops from the good folk on the terraces...

"Highlights" of Rovers trip to Highbury...don't blink...

Michael Taylor catches up with David Dunn to find out how he is coping with lockdown & learns about a whole lot more including how Dunny was left hanging by Daniel Bedingfield and providing a captive audience for Jason Manford whilst on a plane. Thanks to @OBIProperty for allowing us to share, to Michael for conducting the interview & Dunny for the inside track. View full record

Coventry up next at Ewood...Sutton makes his mark again...

Saw this on Twitter earlier...the lead up to the k/o of 1928 FA Cup final FullSizeRender.mov

Leicester up first at Ewood & young Sutton makes his mark...

One from another thread on here... h/t @Gav

Here we go then...wonder if there'll be happy ending...? Southampton away & a Shearer rarity...

February 1984, a misty, cold February evening & MOTD live comes from Ewood Park as Rovers entertain Southampton in the FA Cup. Rovers wear some horrible numbers on the home shirts as a one-off, presumably to aid identification...not it sure it does to be honest. Bobby Charlton in the studio, Jimmy Hill hosting....here we go...

Next up on BRFCS TV....the Big One ! #ComingSoon

Of course... *edits furiously* ?‍♂️

Back in 1991 could anyone have imagined that the manager in the opposition dugout might be back a few months later in the home dugout ? Well perhaps only 1 person could have imagined it... A Rovers side containing luminaries such as Duxbury, Miller, Stapleton & Moran went toe to toe with the mighty Reds at Ewood & bloodied their nose....for 89 minutes....with apologies to SuperAtko...it’s THAT FA Cup tie...

PM me please ?

To start the ball rolling, here is an excerpt from "Kick Off" broadcast on Friday 28th April 1989. There is a fulsome Hillsborough tribute at the beginning & I may post that as a standalone item if there is sufficient interest. Of course as any Rovers fan over a certain age recalls, before that dreadful news had fully seeped out, at Ewood Park that afternoon, Rovers gave one of their best displays of the 1980's & a certain Simon Garner scored a fabulous hat trick. This clip illustrates just what passed for incisive sports coverage at the time and Friday tea-times were never the same when it left our screens. Look out for the "Fuzzy Photo" competition (*spoiler alert* Paul Power I reckon...), the "Star Prize"...for younger readers....that's some prime vinyl right there...the presence of John Bond, always a hero to Rovers fans and a fabulous viewers letter - the sort of thing that Twitter has removed from our conscience. But most of all - enjoy Don Mackay's glorious team on tip-top form, destroying a promotion favourite at an Ewood Park that was just starting to be reconstructed.

In this thread, please feel free to post any TV, YouTube clips of Rovers in days gone by...if anyone has any old VHS tapes but doesn't know how to convert them to digital...DM me, I might be able to assist...

Steven & Jay from NYC Rovers chat with Kevin Gallacher about his footballing heritage, moving to England, broken legs, title-winning, Brian Kidd, Sir Bobby Robson, Radio Lancs, Golden Retriever training and so much more... Thanks to Steven & Jay once again for sharing their interview with us and of course to Gally for being interviewed. View full record

Price of Football is a great pod... @cesus I’m a big fan...

I suspect a post-COVID football world is going to be very different. Chasing the dream in the Championship for potentially a single season of “glory” is surely going to be even less sustainable ?

I don’t think we are likely to be that surprised by any of this but we don’t have any money, are (relatively) poorly supported, struggle to boost commercial income and are completely in hock to our owners. Oh yeah....the directors have doubled their wages though...trebles all round....?

I’m gonna see it through.... #stubborn Part 4

No one likes a smartarse ?
