That’s what supporting a team like Rovers is all about, handed down from generation to generation. Something that the likes of our owners and many more owners will never, ever understand.

Really enjoyed reading that. Many thanks Rog for taking the time to do it.

The Barnsley chop

This is an interesting site. https://www.closedpubs.co.uk/lancashire/blackburn.html

Let’s all write to the Chilean FA to see if they will take the tosser as their manager.

Does Tony try to throw away leading games because he puts bets on to that effect? Just asking!

He must have given Stoke their HT team talk by video link

This 7 days a week has been wonderful. What won’t be wonderful however is getting beaten in all three games in the 7 or 8 days.

Too right, that’s why I always stayed put on the BE

They changed ends depending which way we were kicking maybe

The Stoke game was my first as an away fan. My dad took me as an early 12th birthday present but I can’t remember how we travelled to Stoke. Must have been a coach. I remember the hype over Mathews playing though. 1962 was also a memorable year as the first time a Rovers player appeared in Chile.

Is it written in grammatical English? No Do they have proof readers anymore? Well if they do I’d love to know what sort of guide dogs they have because how many times do you see half an article that ends with “ Continued on page *** and when you turn to said page, nothing. It’s not fit to wrap chips in.

A few on here said before Armstrong left that he wasn’t PL standard. Their views have been totally vindicated. The start of the slippery slope into oblivion maybe. As for Raya, well that says much about Mogadon’s talent as a manager or a talent spotter. Good luck to the lad, how I would love for him to represent Spain.

I suppose we should not be surprised to read sometime soon how Adam Armstrong would love to return to his boyhood club.

Well he’s already proved he doesn’t like it north of Watford. Mind you the Burnley area must have come as a shock

Newcastle fans have no class. Bruce kept them up against the odds when there was little money to better the squad, and at least he was always honest unlike the lying snake in the grass that we used to have. I hope the Arab regime make St. James’s Park dry. That would sicken the geordie horde. Be very careful what you wish for magpies.

The following statement from the EPL is what worries me, because having had personal experience in the past dealing with the inhabitants of most Middle Eastern states, anyone who believes a statement like that from people like that, need a serious investigation themselves “When approving the takeover on Thursday, the Premier League said it has received legal assurances from the new owners that the Saudi state would not control Newcastle United and there would be punishments if it was proven otherwise. “

Wish list. Watford ring Mogadon tomorrow and offer him the job.

You are old enough, I think, to remember when they were often referred to as jerseys, on the radio,TV and in many football programmes.

Too true, let’s just remember a great player and a humble man.

One of England’s greatest goal scorers, a complete natural, when Spurs were playing at Ewood I just prayed that he was in the side even though there was every chance he would score. When we gave them the 7-2 thrashing it was pretty unbelievable. Harry Kane eat your heart out, you’ll never be in the same ball park. RIP Jimmy.

Dream on. I’ve taken a screen shot of today’s table so I can look at it at Christmas and remember how high up the league we were. My feeling is that we have as much chance of finishing in the top six as Oscar Pestorious has of contracting athletes foot.

Plus a further 9pts if it is proved they have broken accounting rules. I’ve never liked Derby but I won’t be mocking them, I just think “There but for the grace of God” Who really knows what dodgy dealings the chicken pluckers have resorted to over the last ten years, I’m sure we should be worried as well.

Well it’s a good job Hull can’t shoot on target

Let’s keep this intensity up.
