Staggering. Thomson received an absolute discharge after paying four shillings (20 pence) for court costs. Death by dangerous driving is a jailable offence now. Both he and Dougan would probably have ended up behind bars these days

I always understood Dougan asked for a transfer on the morning of the final, but that may be a story that got embellished over the years. Never saw him play for Rovers but he was an excellent centre forward for Wolves 10 years later in partnership with John Richards.

Looking at a huge target here ..... could be 330 plus

And another one.... Frank Worthington, what a superb player, a maverick like Bowles, Currie etc. Was about to sign for Liverpool from Huddersfield but failed the medical... high blood pressure no doubt caused by his "social" activities. It was Liverpool's loss and England's ..... no doubt he would have won alot more caps at a high-profile club.

Good player Peter Lorimer. Another of the Leeds greats gone, there can’t be many left now

Look on the bright side Within 36 hours Rovers will have been crushed, Mowbray will have resigned, and Chris Wilder appointed.

Billy Wilson, Keith Newton and Ronnie Clayton "in the trenches" as Rovers prepare to face Sheffield Wednesday at Ewood Park in March 1966. Presume this was the FA Cup match which we lost?

Barnsley now 9 wins out of 10....... 27 points out of 30. January signing Darryl Dike, a 20-year-old from the US, is their star. How did our world-beating scouting system miss him?

That was excruciating to watch. Both teams could have played till midnight and neither would have scored. I'm sick of this pseudo-Barcelona / Pep obsession with passing. Bring back 2 wingers and an old fashioned centre forward!

As an exercise in passing, it's been great. Don't they realise the idea is to score goals?

77 minutes that would have been better spent looking at my stamp collection

Has the Brizzle keeper made a save yet?

Actually fell asleep for 5 minutes. At the time, we were passing it around in our own half; when I woke up we were still passing it around in our own half

Lots of possession but it never amounts to much. Flattering to deceive as always.

Kathleen Harrison. Died at the age of 103 in 1995, obviously waited for us to win the title

Not another match ....... would someone end the season now please? The team, the formation, the performance, are meaningless. This has been a desperately disappointing season; the players and the manager are clearly not up to the job. We've taken 5 points out of 30 (I think); most managers would have been sacked or resigned out of shame by now. So to be contrary it's odds-on we'll beat Brizzle and the players will do it for "Dacky" While I have deep sympathy for the player, it won't be a reason to celebrate

5 points out of 30 Any other club......

Those 2 penalty decisions against us were diabolical.

Referee is from London. Did he come up here on the Brentford coach?

Soft rubbish penalty for them Clear penalty denied for us Tony's got to have a go after the game

That was more of a penalty than theirs

It's very noticeable.

Toney's from Northampton. Or do you mean non-black?

Leave him alone. He's leading the charge

Rothwell leading the charge by hoofing the ball out of play
