And mine was a comment about your hypocrisy. Keep up the good work Nick.

And how many folk pontificating from abroad ? Stop complaining, jump on the next £15 flight from Malta and get to Ewood.

Says he always criticising Blackburn and who ran away to the glorious environs of Merseyside.

Yup, you really missed something there. I saw Duggie and Shearer play more than 100 games together for Rovers and they really were magical.

Lovely writing, beautiful matches. I remember the Liverpool like t'were yesterday: they were 2-0 up, we pulled it back to 2-2 at half time and scored the winner in the second half. Duggie was brilliant. The Scouse hordes were not happy, throwing beer bottles around the Darwen End even then. Ron Kennedy was a Blackburn freelance for years, not sure what happened to him.

Because the players have 24 hours (or thereabouts) less recovery time before the match away to Birmingham City on the Wednesday night ? Ask any professional footballer and he will tell you that rest and recuperation are vitally important at this stage of the season, which is one reason why Rovers ought to thump Middlesbrough this weekend. Rovers have a real chance of qualifying for the Champions League; to handicap themselves in this way doesn't make sense.

Weak leadership from the Rovers management, putting in jeopardy potential Champions League points rather than risk upsetting Liverpudlian sensibilities by refusing to switch. The least Liverpool can do now is roll over and let us win 3-0.

Quite. There are some on here who went over to the dark side more than 30 years ago and have not returned once to see their family, never mind to watch Rovers. They should be ignored.

The ex-pats on here couldn't even be arsed to come over for the Worthington Cup final at Cardiff - Rovers' first significant final for more than 40 years. And they even had the gall to moan about the cost of flights.

Using language like "rubbish" doesn't really help. Liverpool fans have strong feelings on the subject that one may or may not agree with but they are entitled to their views. I'm sure Williams and Finn will handle this matter in the same sensitive manner as their handling of the dismissal of Tony Parkes. Apologists for the esteemed Rovers management team may as well brace themselves now to have to change their arrangements for the Liverpool game.

After the Lord Mayor's Show at Tottenham, a dire performance and a 0-0 draw.

My thoughts too. But the history books show only that we lost, not how well we played.

A scruffy 1-0 victory might have done, but why should a defeat boost attendances ? Rovers had a chance to day to set up a crack at a Champions League place. A draw would have been perfectly acceptable. They blew it.

Not at all: playing well and losing gives me no joy whatsoever.

Ask Tottenham; they were poor and have three points in the bag.

All this "proud of the boys" is hogwash. We lost, end of story.

Tottenham saw Gray as a weak link and it worked. Rovers were the better team but were let down by poor defending. To give away the third goal (Gray at fault again) so soon after equalising was inexcusable.

knickers 2-3

2-0 handball goal. Rovers don't deserve to be losing this.

Rovers are an average side in an average league whose form at present is well above average. Eighth at best, and we should be happy with that.

Really ? As a cricket-loving non-football supporter, that'd be news to him.

Rovers have started negotiations with Hughes over a new, long-term contract. Bowen and Eddie thingy are also to be offered new contracts.

This is from the top horse's mouth. Mihir Bose's article has been seen and noted but there is nothing new in it. Rovers have been "unofficially" for sale for several years but there have been as yet no takers.

Eh ? A testator is someone who makes a will. Presumably Jack made his own before he died. Don't you mean beneficiary ? A will is a public document after death. Presuming that Jersey has the same laws as England and Wales, anyone can obtain the details of Jack Walker's will from Somerset House. Considering that the whole future of Rovers hinges on the continuing support of the Trust, I would be amazed if at least the Rovers chairman and chief executive did not know the contents of the Will or the Trust settlement.

I fail to understand how you reach the above conclusion based on a book about Manchester United and a story on the potential sale of Blackburn Rovers. Another case of shooting the messenger.
