I couldn't agree more with those sentiments. Dickov has shown so far that he has the desire to win. That' all we should ask from ALL the players wearing the shirt. I sincerely hope that Dickov can be the next Speeeeedie! From what I have seen he cannot be accused of not trying.

The best fullback I have seen is undoubtedly Keith Newton. The man was a class act and a very fine servant to both the Rovers and England. And a nice man to boot. As I am also interested in the all time history of our fine club, my vote has to go to Bob Crompton. Any man who makes so many appearances for one club, achieves so many caps for his country in the days when there were far fewer International than there are now, and has the distinction of being the captain of his country for many of those appearances. The fact that he was held in such high regard by his peers worldwide must be taken as an indication of the magnitude of the man. The fact that he was the manager on two occasions and remained totally loyal to the Rovers all his life, then there can be only one way to vote. Just imagine if we could have had both Bob Crompton and Jack Walker in the same period!

I feel exactly the same Paul. I was appalled by Ronaldo's blatant dives and constant whining to the referee. His theatrical tumble in the box after running into Amoruso was so bad it was actually funny--yet I can't believe he didn't go in the book for that. For a kid with so much skill, he clearly has a lot to learn about the game of football. Cannot stand this out and out cheating by diving at every available opportunity. I thought the FA had issued a directive that diving should be a cautionable offence and the perpetrator should be immediately given a yellow card.

Excellent news re- henry the vacumn cleaner. He can play in away matches without the expence of providing him with a kit!

That's what I do so as to allow a friend to attend who normally works Saturdays so cannot justify the outlay for a ST. But will the new card system allow a lady to use a man's ST card or vice versa, or will the turnstyles have hidden camera's so that this will not be allowed to happen?

53 in 13 days time wich makes me about.......oh I hate league tables! Hair colour needs re-spray and to some extent replant from a life in the fast lane and watching Rovers for.....oh God 44 years.

Well said RB. The problem is not many were there at that time or they have short memories!
