20 Rovers VHS Tapes from Season 1990-91 onwards, including Champions Season 1994-95 and the Worthington Cup Final double tape. Will sell as a ‘job lot’ for £2 each plus either a postage fee or my own ‘petrol’ fee of £10 to anywhere in Lancashire. Ie, £50 if I deliver or £40 plus postage if a courier is used. I have seen some of these on eBay for as much as £10 each, so fill yer boots.

Gazza was good, but he was never a match for Nicky Reid. And Keith Hill getting stuck into him when we equalised is funny! Well worth a watch. Like a different world!

 

Great footage and great atmosphere. Two teams steaming forward towards the oppositions’ goals. I say, how quaint, how novel. It’ll never catch on.

And..just two minutes in to the clip. Proof of the correct words to the ‘No Nay Never’ chant. As in ‘WILL’ we play Burnley Bast***s and not ‘TIL.’ 

Us ‘owd ‘uns always knew.
 

192 pages, at roughly 25 posts per page = 4,800 posts.

One post would have sufficed.

Part-timer! 

I know John, I still don’t sleep well knowing I missed such an important game. 😆

I thinks that’s Peter Dobing nearest the ball but not sure who the other two Rovers players are.

Charlton Athletic away on 26th April 1958 and Rovers win 4-3 to return to the Top Flight. A photo I’ve not knowingly seen before and one Infound recently on Facebook.

I was 26 days old, still in Queens Park on an incubator, so couldn’t make the game..😆

Football clubs always used to be referred to in a plural sense rather than in a singular one.

- Blackburn Rovers ARE situated in Lancashire

- THEY are one of the oldest clubs in the league

- WE are the most successful town club in England

Not sure if it’s because of foreign players or managers who, in their own language, refer to clubs as is/it etc. but a recent trend has been for increasing instances of references to clubs in the singular.

- Blackburn Rovers IS situated in Lancashire

- It is one of the oldest clubs in the league

- It is the most successful town club in England

I notice these things 🙂

What say they do it all over again this weekend? I'll be supporting them in the hope that they do!

If not, what do St Johnston fans sing?

Well, a St Johnston cup double. Wow. Callum Davidson their manager. Na then...

Sure are Bigdoggsteel...55 times says so.

.😁

Wrong. It says Rangers have the won the Scottish Championship 55 times to Celtic’s 51.

Winning the European Cup, when it was a knock out competition and not fixed for the big boys like at present, trumps that by a country mile. And then some.

Seville, 2003. Three quarters of the stadium looked like this. Eighty thousand travelled to the city. It was (and still is) the largest overseas movement of fans ever. 

That’s a first class post RoverInverness. I’ve just spent half an hour penning a post and then deleted it because I just can’t be arsed any more trying to explain the situation in Scotland. I’m glad I did because you have put it down in black and white in a much better way than I could have done!

I’ve had leanings towards Celtic since the late 60s and lost count of the number of times I’ve been up over the years. Only missed a Rovers game once, mind, when I managed to get hold of two tickets for an Old Firm game in 1991. The Hibs fans’ rendition of Sunshine on Leith after the 2016 Scottish Cup Final was absolutely spot on, one of those ‘hairs standing up on your neck’ moments.

Does anybody have the 2002/3 season review? I'm guessing it was on DVD by that point. There were a lot of good moments that season, topped off with the way we ripped Spurs apart on the last day of the season.

I was at that game with my Norwegian mate, Pennyduff, who used to post on here. One of our best ever performances. Spurs who, whenever they play us, think they just have to turn up to win, were lucky to get nil. We looked like we could score at will and the scoreline should have been six or seven nil. The sight of their lot lobbing their season tickets onto the pitch at the end will stay with me for ever.

Can’t stand either of them and I won’t be watching.

If it were to be an all English final, you’ve got to laugh..

   - Both clubs owned by foreign billionaires

   - Both clubs’ first teams coached by foreigners

   - Both clubs’ squads filled to the brim with foreigners

   - Both clubs’ academies filled to the brim with foreign youngsters

   - One of the two, sponsored by a foreign company

   - The other of the two, sponsored by a plethora of associated foreign        
      companies.

The only thing ‘English’ about Man City and Chelsea is the fact that they’re both situated in English cities. 

Has he gone yet?

That was the first shirt I ever had. Still my favourite.

Yeah, my favourite is the 1960 cup final shirt, essentially the same but with the badge. I think I’ve had three and they all needed binning because the colours ran after a few washes. One from the club shop and two from Toffs.

Just seen this on a Facebook site. Dave Whelan and Ally MacLeod, August 1959. Great photo.

Fans queuing for tickets at Ewood for the FA Cup game v Citeh, February 1969.

It would be nice if fans of all the other clubs give the so called big six absolute hell when they play them.

A universal chant of ‘you effing greedy barstuards, you effing greedy barstuards’ throughout each game should suffice.

Keep looking for the name of Birmingham City as one of the so called Big Six. It’s not there for some reason. I’ll have another look.

This modern/recent trend of prefixing 'emotion' words with 'super' (e.g. "I was super-excited to hear that Tony Mowbray had been sacked").

Just fucking stop it!!

The first time I heard the prefix super was when I visited a mate of mine in Texas in May 2015. He had lived in the States for twenty five years and was coming out with super this, super that and super the other. It was a wtf moment and I’m surprised it took a year or two to catch on.

Love this by Dire Straights and also Sailing to Philadelphia CLB.

 

 

 

 

Yep, two cracking tracks Gav. There’s an instrumental compilation on YouTube and I particularly like Sailing to Philadelphia done that way.

This lighter shade of blue is ok the odd year in ten, fifteen or twenty. For the greater part of our history, we have played in royal blue. That’s the colour it needs to be.
