It's a shirt; jerseys are for rugby

Great strip !! Should be our permanent away strip. Wish I could be there to see it

Is the match on TV live?

6th is a false position for us. The squad is limited in ability and numbers. We'll slide gently down the table as the season goes on

Stokies 1-0 up at Deepdale

Yep, you need a sense of humour to support Rovers. And an understanding wife when another defeat upsets the whole weekend

That tickles me. 😄

Blimey, never saw this coming Will it be another Luton though?

Trump supporters US heading for a big win; glad I'm not there If there's one thing the US hates, it's losing at golf. I was at the Belfry on the last day when Christy O'Connor hit his miraculous shot across the water on the 18th. Concorde then flew over as Europe celebrated and a lot of grumpy Americans stomped away from the course 😄

Barrie Hole is another player with Rovers-Cardiff connections. Played for us from 1966-68, old fashioned left half with a good left foot. “Give is a goal, give us a goal Barrie Hole” we used to sing. What frolicking fun we had in those days

Known unknowns presented as fact in the first sentence. Who knows what would have happened if the Walkers had been unable to sell? It was clearly beyond Venky's means to appoint a "better manager" because they hadn't a clue what they were getting in to. They didn't even adhere to the maxim of "if it ain't broke don't fix it". Allardyce with Venky's money to spend would have been the best scenario of all

Not true Lewandowski in a 2017 interview "I could not fly to Blackburn because of the volcano but I wanted to go there just to see what the club is like because I didn't know back then where I was going because if I travelled there, I would then know which is the best club for me. "Maybe if I went there and saw the club, the stadium and everything, it would have become my first choice".

It's funny how you get a sense of foreboding with certain events in life. Perhaps it's old age or experience from previous bad events but when something doesn't feel right, it usually isn't. The day Rovers sacked Allardyce I knew we'd get relegated and that it was the beginning of the end for us as a Premier League club. My gut feeling that was correct.

Not true. Look at his record at Bolton Allardyce was preparing for us to kick on from being just "survival merchants". He had Lewandowski lined up before a volcanic dust cloud and then Venky's intervened. He was pragmatic for sure, but his record speaks for itself. Getting rid of him was a huge mistake

Yes, Connelly played in the 0-0 v Uruguay and was then dropped. Start of Ramsey's "wingless wonders".

Good job I put IIRC Tyrone. Your memory is better than mine!

Forget the TV commentator nonsense. He will remembered as a brilliant goalscorer Saw Greaves play at Ewood, at Upton Park in his West Ham days and in his final year in non-league for Barnet when he strolled around in midfield Best memory was Rovers' 7-2 thrashing of Spurs at Ewood in the early 1960s, probably the best Rovers performance I've seen Greaves scored both Spurs goals IIRC He took being injured and left out of Alf Ramsey's World Cup-winning team pretty hard, don't think he really recovered

Lots ado about nothing-nothing 2 average sides fight out a dull draw Mid-table it is for another season then, and Tony's pension fund celebrates

Loanees to fill shirts rather than make a difference like Elliott and the Man City lad That's what happens when you're desperate in the final hours of the transfer window

Is that the Allardyce who had Robert Lewandowski lined up before he was stupidly sacked?

I've never seen any indication that the Issas are Rovers or even football fans Any links?

Charging him with fraudulent misrepresentation of a CEO?

How is your back now Tyrone? Injured mine badly about 12 months ago (gardening) and still no better. MRI showed no damage, but steroid injections and painkillers haven't touched it. Can't stand straight properly

That used to happen in the past - Rovers fans have always been fickle. The problem now is there's so many excuses not to go - including the latest, live feeds - that it's often easier to stay at home than attend. For my part, I've found other things to do with my time since the pandemic, and I'm sure there's many like me. If by some fluke we managed to sustain a place in the top 6 this season I think attendances will improve somewhat, but only to around the 12k mark
