Ozzie, I was there on HMS Hurworth, minesweeper who's divers aved a hell of a lot of individuals. Horrendous evening and night in my comms office, my juniors defo earned their stripes that night. we fly from brum 0700hrs, plane has a lot of Rovers fans onboard.

yes I have had a negative view on him previously but if you reread my last posts on him I have been more than impressed by his performances, I do, hoever, ramin sceptical at him playing football with his invisible friend who gladly hasnt been on the same pitch as him so far this season

Another Rovers loss 1-0, you can see it now. caption "if you dont give me a third card I am gonna forearm smash you into the hoarding advertisement and if i dont then that ugly muvva tim nice but very dim will"

My father in law is a st holder at Anfield, word is that Rovers ahve all but agreed a deal with lfc for the Neill and Warnock deal to go throgh, it involves a small cash adjustment ! there are serious doubts about bellamy lasting the season at Anfield due to a bust up with J A Riise in training, it would appear that he may find himself on a loan deal come January as theya re seeking to bring in at least 1 new striker.

He wont fetch more than 500k with 6 months on his contract left, brum will have to let him go at a ridiculous loss and he wil only move to one place, his beloved Rovers. Dunny may find himself in the next few weeks or so getting fitter and fitter with a point of putting him firmly in Rovers sights however I dont see him moving until right up to the end of January as brum become desperate for cash for him. 500k on him is not a waste of money, its one place in the Premiership and I dont see it as a gamble, twinning him with Tugay may prove very valuable for Rovers. Come home son and bring Bellamy and your good mate Duffer with you

all ticketed up and ready to go I recently visited Rotterdam for a match experience and was pleasantly surprised at how ell behaved the Dutch fans were towads EACH other ! Rovers fans will be okay if we stick together Blue Army

volatile supporters ? cock of the north they sing ? didnt realise it had started ? trouble unavoidable ? Lets put a few things into perspective redfan. Volatile supporters are not needed at ANY football ground and imo united fans are in no way volatile more like DOCILE. cock of the north ? think not. didnt realise it had started ? what a load of tosh ! Every game over the weekend has observed a minutes silence, every clubs supporters APART from YOURS has respected that silence. unavoidable trouble ? again you make yourself sound like a complete and utter idiot. Of course it was unavoidable, just how do you explain 15000 pounds worth of damage ? I always enjoy fellow supporters coming on and having an intelligent discussion, your post didnt fit that criteria

apparently their is a vacancy in Notre Dam, two gargoyles have fallen off the ancient walls and Dowie is the only person that fits the bill pf the ugliest of ugliest. simon gaylord jordan will be laughing his permatan off

i dont think the place to live is a problem, he has property all over in particular Cheshire which is considerably closer to ewood than the Boleyn ground

Now that my friend is just PURE IGNORANCE

if you read the sunday papers, it states the likes of barca and co are seriously interested in him. Now forgive me for this, but from what I know and se of our Lucas he aint world class, he certainly does not fit the cloth for thee clubs that are being mentioned and it would all appear to be the work of his agent. his agents big gob is akin to lucas's big ego (and mouth). I dont see how he could even get in Barcas reserve team never mind the first 11, as for Inter ? well please dont make me laugh, its Armistice day not April Fools day

30 or 40, 50 or 5000 they are tarred with the same brush IMo and that is it in a nutshell pal, whether you agree or not. As for ignorance, you dont understand my point of view...

Birmingham have allegedly contacted Rovers to take Taylor from Rovers in January. I read it in the papers on Saturday morning and it commented on how Rovers had failed togive permission for Crewe to play him in the FA Cup.

As an ex member of HM Forces I can say that I was truly disgusted by manure supporters lack of respect for our glorious dead. Can you all remember the outcry and outrage spurted by scum fans towards Leeds supporters in the Sir Alf Ramsay uproar ? Hypocritical to say the least and let me remind them if any are reading, whatever sir Alf did was bloody NOTHING to what our lost soldiers did in the wars For anyone who doubted the word scum and its association with every manchester united, herein lies your answer. they are SCUM and will remain forever SCUM

Lets hit a dose of reality peeps, Rovers were good for their money today and fully deserved the loss ! How a Rovers team with 10 men can hope to beat ANYONE let alone manure is beyond belief. Rovers may as well not start with 11 by having MGP on the pitch, today he was nothing short of shocking and it really pains me to say it. I have to question Mark Hughes tactical nouse today, in particular leaving the subs so late on when we were chasing the game, Rio and co ahve had the easiest game at the back than they will all season. For me, I am gutted we didnt take a point after predicting a manure goalsfest, 4-0 I shouted and out on the fixed odds coupon. I am wholly pleased we didnt ship more than one but really disappointed by the display of several Rovers players. The players who can take a bow Brad, Zurab, Andre, TUGAY and Bert. The players who just about earned their corn Bentley and The Axe The players who just didnt want to know Nonda, Benni, Lucas The player who did faff all but play as an extram man in a red shirt MGP Rovers were solid in the first half and comfortable but created NOTHING ! For all Tugays class there wasnt a Rovers shirt available in a run, and when they were they just didnt hold the ball up well enough. In the second half we gave far too many balls away and were overrun in the middle. Today we had NO service for the front two, so it was pointless playing 4-4-2. People will slate the Axe, he played Scholes very well and restricted his playing, he did his job until he decided to venture forward leaving us a big gap in the middle of the park. Lucas knows he is gone and cant be arsed. The armband needs moving on Mark and NOW for the benefit of the team. MGP needs a rest. We desperately need a shot of confidence because Spuds will come to Ewood next week expecting 3 points. Thats it for me tonight, I am in the fridge, sinking a 10 pack and not speaking to the wife, not taking the dog out and the neighbours can get FFFFFFFFFFFD

More bad news for Rovers for todays game..... our Youth Team have just slaughtered manu Youth by 3-0

thats atypical german postive attitude, nowt wrong with that, hope he does come on today and manages to do something positive

Roll on 23rd

I see what you mean Ozz I blame that muppet Mr Hunt for my demise in the arithmetic area of my limited education I was banking on Rovers normal 16000 supporters + 8000 scum sucking mancscumsters + 3000 wavering Rovers supporters with their manure supporting children + a quantity of manure fans who always manage to breach our security and fill up all the seats in the JW Upper I believe that Rovers will have quite an infiltration of scum tomorrow evening based on what I have learned today, I know that we are taking 12 "guests" who claim tobe Rovers fans from Horwich, the lsit includes the muppet who used to be andy Mcdonald in Corry, now then remind me, but last year when I took him to the semi final 1st leg, he spoke with a highly squeaky scummy mank voice

No I mean we took the micky and scoffed at the press when we were linked with that little lot. We can go all the way back into the 80's and find Rovers being linked to big time players and pulling off a coup out of the blue. There is nothing to say it cant happen again although I do accept that this story maybe a little way off the mark

After following the Rovers and England abroad for the past 16 years I know what is the best way to handle the foriegn idiots. Keep your wits about you, dont be silly or brash, and make sure you have a good time. Probably the same percentage as ours! I am probably a little more experienced with travelling and working abroad with England, I can answer some fo your questions. Rovers do not have a hooligan element according to official statistics (I know we do have an idiotic element but really they are not that big a bunch or even amongst the lowest of the hardened hooligans), we are one of the most highly thought of of supporting fans who travel away. In the past 10 years there have only been approx 35 Rovers supporters arrested at away grounds who have been charged with criminal offences, these range from drugs possession, drunk when entering a ground and public order offences, 1 sexual assault and 1 assault police. With England in the past 6 years I am only personally aware of 5 Rovers supporters who have been arrested away from home and charged with offences relating to football hooliganism, I wont add theft offences etc. In Austria, apart from the incident at the irish bar I dont recall any antagonism between the travelling fans and theirs. We had a great time. I would suspect that Will, if your attitude or outlook is just looking out for yourself you will attract a negative response from Dutch hooligans and it is well known that they are planning to attack Rovers supporters. They have a serious idiotic element who will pick on anyone. My advice is stick in groups of 10 or more, stick to the railway network both before and after and get back to Amsterdam or a safe beer. Amsterdam is ready for Rovers fnas to enjoy, Rotterdam however is ready for a Holland/England face off, its just unfortunate that it Rovers flying the English flag, because believe me, should any of our supporers get involved in fracas, it will be plastered all over the media. it will be the English supporters and NOT the Dutch who get tarred. Just be safe and have a good time

we berated the press with Shearer we berated the press with Sutton we berated the press with Bellamy and we got the trio of them now we berate the press with Beckham ! Although in image terms we stand zulchfaffall chance of getting him it WOULDNT surprise me one bit ! remember Archibald and Ardiles ? Speedie and McKenzie ? Rovers do have a knack of pulling off the unexpected

Den we will meet you early thursday morning in the hotel, we arrive 0930 ish so we will go with the flo I agree that a central meeting point in Amsterdam, a full Blue and White special (like the good old days) will be a most enjoyable and drunken train ride since Carlisle away !!
