Of course I can’t speak for Tyrone as I don’t know the man other than on here, but I spent a lot of time working in France in 2011-12 and saw Mahrez playing for Le Havre and I actually sent an email to Rovers telling them to have a look. Guess what? No reply was the answer. Regarding the Steve Walsh scenario. Are we sure the clowns are after the correct Steve Walsh?

Took the words right out of my mouth. It’s made out that spotting talent is some kind of secret society.

A target of 277 with a day and a half to play should be a walk in the park for any team who can bat…………oh but this is England!

Sorry folks it kept telling me to wait 10 seconds to post so I did.

Wasn’t he captain of Leicester when we beat them in the play off final?

Agreed. I can’t understand not wanting Ainsworth on merit regardless of his Rovers connection. The Wycombe job didn’t put clubs off wanting Martin O’Neil in the past

I thought it was Bertie Mee

The mentality is for the white ball game. Test cricket is an art and the white ball game is for sloggers.

Bob Dylan. Like a rolling stone

These English batters as they are called now should stick to battering fish.

Could easily have been 5-1

What? Worse the one I mentioned a few pages back, which I got slagged off for and then you , along with a couple of others, agreed with the person slagging me off. Anyway as this is supposed to be a forum but apparently we are not allowed to mention any prospective names. My money is still on the unmentioned one because he’s desperate, he will be cheap because he’s desperate and he comes from the NW and to top it all he’s crap. All the credentials for this rudderless club. I’ll leave it at that.

Just watching Halifax v Chesterfield. Didn’t realise that the top manager Paul Cook was the Chesterfield manager, so there’s another dead leg that would be right up Venkys street. Cheap and desperate, and another to add to a hate list of back room staff.

It makes you wonder what the outcome of the sale of Chelsea will pan out. Let’s see if the “Fit and Proper Test” works with that sale. I won’t hold my breath.

Kids wore shirts

Here is a history lesson from someone who grew up in the 50’s/60’s. I grew up with mates who were a cross section of Rovers, Burnley and PNE fans, but essentially we were fans of football. Regarding Rovers v Burnley matches, the lads who supported Rovers and Burnley traveled together on the bus to either Ewood or Turf Moor. We wore our shirts with pride and went to our respective ends to join up with the fans of our particular club. At the end of the game we travelled home together. At no time did we encounter any trouble. Where did all the agro start then?

Well that just about sums up what is wrong with folk and to some extent football these days.

Well you can put money on that it won’t be Boxing Day. Either here or at Turd Moor

That would look a bit silly if the next manager isn’t called Carlos though.

To be fair to their support, it can’t have been easy to stay with your team with some years in League1, when the Magpies with their dirty Saudi money are flaunting it on your doorstep. The Stadium of Light will be a daunting away fixture next season.

Hope Greater Manchester Council have given Seville some advice from their experience.

Forest v Sheffield Utd getting a bit fiesty, one thing with these semi finals, although we know that the standard of referees in the championship is not great, it seems to be endorsed by the EFL where Premiership refs are used in the semis. A bit of a vote of no confidence if you ask me.

Thanks for the heads up. I don’t get LT nor will I read it online. I think your phrase regarding Waggot is being kind ARA. Surely he can’t think we believe that figure, although every manager in the West Lancs League has probably applied.

I must have missed something here. Where has that info come from ?

Of course your right, but it’s the current rules that are out of kilter with the game.
