How many people have died after being crushed by people standing in a seated area? To my mind a simple solution would be remove the seats from the Blackburn end and replace them with anti crush barriers on each row - unless of course there's a sideways surge!

Are you French

Good call Ste, The Delgados are tremendous. Kasabian is another top album - got tickets to see them in Leeds on the 16th. Anyone else going?

The team should be built around Bazza The Blue. Stick yer money

Not necessary Tris

Many people on here know my views on Ferguson - he's a legend in the making. However I will concede that last night he was terrible. Everyone will have a stinker now and again. His cause wasn't helped by our defence choosing to hoof the ball so often. Theno, as much sense as you talk, you obviously can't judge a player. Have you forgotten the performances of Fergie before the injury? Too many knee jerkers not enough supporters

I regularly attend gigs, many of which offer the CHOICE of seating or standing. Where possible I CHOOSE to stand. Even though I am 6' 1" sometimes my vision will be obscured by people in front of me, however the standing enhances the overall experience. I would like that same CHOICE at football grounds. Anyone got any objections!

Hopefully, Hughes will bring a wind of professionalism to sweep away the dross Souness had accepted and installed at Rovers. That WILL happen

Putting rivalry aside for a moment, this Longsider seems to be an intelligent and reasoned contributor. Personally I welcome such a Dingle!

I believe there is a good Travel Tavern somewhere near Norwich, as recommended by Alan Partridge

The perfomances of Emerton and Jansen were the only real positives I could take from the game last night. Oh and maybe Pederson - in flashes.

Apologies for not trawling through the whole thread, but has Jim posted his opinion of the appointment?

us!

THE best all round midfielder to grace the blue and white halves in my time (last 30 years)

Whoever it is, it must be someone who can persuade Ferguson to stay!

Are you the Queen?

If these rather credible rumours are true I, like Phillip would like to go on record and thank Souness for his efforts and achievements over the past four years or so.

Is there anything official yet?

Try the 'Verdict On Souness' thread!

I can't wait for the moment when Bruce hands Yorke the banjo/uklele and ushers forward the friesian!

Shouldn't that be ukelele?

Is he related to Marcus Bent?
