  1. You make yourself look very silly sometimes. This is one of them.
  2. Probably "achieve" little, other than to hasten Neill's departure (hopefully), but there's nothing wrong with letting him know that his attitude towards the club we love stinks.
  3. Because of the sentence after in my post that you conveniently omitted you gormless twerp.
  4. Point of order, oh beery one. I have never "hated" any of the above. I wanted Souness removed from his job because he was harming my club. Until the recent run of poor results and his decision to give Neill the captaincy, Hughes has always had my full support. The other two needed to be sacked, but I was hardly alone in thinking that. What is mystifying is your continued support of the discredited Souness and your refusal to criticise the club over any matter. Look at yourself in the mirror and you will see an idiot of the villiage variety.
  5. Usual tripe from the boardroom apologist. Neill has been quoted as saying he would like to join Liverpool (Hughes acknowledged such after the match last night) and that is reason enough in my book for him being dropped from the team and being roundly booed by supporters who help to pay his wages and were at Ewood decades before he was born and will still be there decades after he has left. The fact that Hughes chose to make him captain of my club is an insult to Rovers fans in my view. Neil is an ordinary player whose performances since the World Cup last summer have been lamentable, none more so than last night when he was lucky not to give away a penalty and showed a general lack of interest. He should be fined by Hughes for his goal "celebration". The sooner he is sold the better.
  6. Awful game, totally undeserved victory, but that's footie. Todd probably out Saturday; only one central defender available.
  7. Neill and McEveley are having nightmares. Nancy hit the post when should have scored
  8. Possibly another penalty, McEveley bundling over a Nancy player. Todd off .... another injury ? Nolan (?) on
  9. Should have been penalty to Nancy; Friedel clearly tripped their player.
  10. Even more embarrassing than Phillips winning the award was her truly dreadful acceptance speech in which the Royal trollope managed to say the word "amazing" seven times. "Amazing" to think that she has been privately educated. Money it seems cannot buy the capacity to think.
  11. Does the fact he is Asian have any relevance except to reinforce your racist agenda ? I sincerely hope the Ipswich maniac is caught soon and also sincerely hope he is white and local. Another schoolboy composition from little Lord Rothermere on the evils of immigration would be too much to bear.
  12. Some great memories chaps, and yes the present ground is fantastic but no, it does not have the atmosphere of the old ground. My best memories of the old Ewood were actually playing on the hallowed turf in schoolboy finals. We won them both too and received the cup on both occasions from Ronnie Clayton. Sad to think my playing career peaked at the age of 11.
  13. Why not ? The club is in freefall at the moment.
  14. Similar records, similar problems. How many more defeats will it take before they act ?
  15. Pardew has been given the chop after losing six out of the past eight league matches. Hughes has now lost seven of the past nine. So what is the Rovers board waiting for ?
  16. So you don't mind being called an ignorant, loud-mouthed, opinionated, overbearing, white supremacist then ? Or is it the white that causes you such a problem ? Back at the match, I thought Rovers were actually quite impressive on Saturday despite the awful result. And enjoyed the caller to Radio Five Live who berated Lucas Neill ! More of the same please.
  17. One is very pleased, just as one's mater was also delighted 35 years ago.
  18. True, sports have changed but boxing has drifted out of the public consciousness for good reasons. It's confusing, badly managed and no one cares about it any more.
  19. How about dispensing with two or your four loos ? The water you'd save would pay for your season ticket and next year's membership of the BNP. The country has never been richer even in our relatively impoverished region so money isn't an issue for the majority of supporters. What is an issue is a general boredom with football because of over-exposure and the perceived lack of entertainment and guts such as that shown by Rovers at the Valley in midweek.
  20. No one cares about Calzaghe because boxing has lost all credibility owing to the fact that there are too many weight divisions and too many boxing federations. When I were a lad there were eight divisions and one federation - so there were eight world champions and any British schoolboy interested in sport could name them all. Now I would struggle to name one. As for boxing being noble it's as bent as an Old Trafford referee. Always has been.
  21. Follow the Ashes thread. Englishmen supporting the convicts deserve the same fate as Haw-Haw in my book.
  22. The answer is, about the same length of time he has now been in charge of Rovers. After the euphoria in the first part of his tenure Wales supporters were pleased to see Hughes go in the end. All managers have a limited shelf life and there's not many who last more than 3 years. Either they get the sack or they move on voluntarily before the rot really starts to set in. If Hughes left tomorrow any new manager coming in and assessing the current squad would come to the conclusion that it is 1) lacking in creative ability 2) lacking in firepower 3) far too old.
  23. Nonsense. Pace is a basic requirement of a top-class footballer; there are very few who do not have pace who would survive in the modern game. The problem for Rovers is not only a lack of exceptional pace but players who are downright slow.
  24. As the season progresses it is becoming clearer why alot of clubs looked at McCarthy but gave him the thumbs down. He's talented but obviously has no appetite for the kick, bollock and bite of the Premiership . Same applies to Nonda but without the talent. Losing to the bottom team says it all. This squad is in trouble and the board needs to back Hughes with some serious money in January.
