jarosik now plays for celtic !

there is a word........ B O T T L E Our English superstars didnt have it hows that for #80k a week and the rest

Waggy you were not alone I am aware that about 15 supporters suffered the same scenario. I know tht whilst I was outside the stadium 2 fans were arrested after @abusing@ the ticket staff, they were later charged and kept in overnight, both came back to the Uk with me and were rightly annoyed. There is apparently a system in place for compensation so I suggest you contact fifa helpline. Did anyone who had the pleasure of being out there notice exactly how many empty corporate seats wee available ? I am aware one of the German banks had 50 tickets a game (every game that is) and tht they very rarely used them. Now thats annoying.

what a crock of crud Rovers will complete another striker deal later today or tomorrow THE BIG DEAL WILL SHORTLY FOLLOW NOW THE TRANSFER WINDOW IS OPEN

give the wee lad a chance. JHC soem of you are beyond belief. The pre season is just about to start so give him bit of leeway. Alright he aint gonna set the pulses racing but we dont yet know just what is around the corner. He may just yet discover how to score goals at the top level and BRFC may just b the spark needed to help him. The next 20 days or so will no doubt see BRFC mould a squad together as we start the season and forage into European competition. What e need is belief NOT idiots gobbing about how sad it is that we aint signed so and so. we are all on a downer oafter our World Cup Exit, get over it and put your thoughts back to BRFC. 56 days and counting

Froma birds eye working point of view i can offer the follow information. The English fans have been the best behaved out of the supporters present in Germany. I have been involved heavily in the operation to monitor supporters and can vouch that the arreests per country is highly dominated by the Germans, the Dutch and the Polish supporters. Yes the England supports have been drunk and had their sing songs. yes some of the and it is a very few number wise that have issued the anti nazi songs and yes there have been some right furking idiots. The arrests of 300 supporters was simply a preventative matter which the local Police failed to obtain a detention order as NOT ONE of those supporters had any tickets to any game. As I have said, I have watched and observed first hand the behaviour of the fans attending. I have been int he England camp and I have moved around Germany where the English appear everywhere. 99% of them are enjoying themselves to the full. There have been over 5400 arrests so far. In total, approximately 300 have been charged with a variety of offences ranging from fighting, sexual assault,theft and forgery offences not too mention drunkeness related offences. To date 260 England fans have been deported, I returned home with 28 the other day. All those that have been deported have all been issued with Football banning orders that will run for 3 years. There are NO Blackburn fans involved as far as I am aware. in the main they are southerners/brummies and the odd northerner. So there you are, an up to date view from someone involved in the operation itself

Wheelton Blues were onboard Ozz, none injured only pride. I remember Paul Astley very well a top bloke. I wonder if he remembers when the coach from Chorley to Shrewsbury broke down and I jumped in the drivers seat whilst they all had their heads under the front end and I turned the ignition key ? Got a pasting for my troubles but eventually we got the game at half time !!!

Have been to a meeting for pre world cup fan security today and wow are England fans in for a surprise. Friends and fellow Roves supporters BEWARE. The message is very clear England fans unruly behaviour will not be tolerated. if you are drunk and found by Police or security staff you will be deported after 24 hrs in a cell if you fight and get arrested you will be deported after 36 hours in a cell a court appearance and a fine if you are arrested for any serious offences you go straight to gaol, a trial will be held the same week and if found guilty you will be imprisoned then deported if you have forged tickets then it is a straight 2yr sentence in gaol if you have tickets that are found to be black market issue, you will be fined $2000 (euro) and deported UNLESS you testify against the seller ! Any supporter found to be fighting with Police or security staff will be instantly gaoled for 18 months - no fines or petty treatment if you SELL a ticket as a tout and are arrested - 18 months gaol any supporter arrested on public transport inc plane, bus or boat will be detained at the pleasure of the local governer and subjected to trial or deportation the briefing kind of centred on the English and Dutch, nomention of the Italian troublemakers or other countries. I got quite irate when I questionned the rationale of just how good true English supporters were to be responded by "English are all the same". The local commander was taken aback when I uttered the fact that we were voted the best supporters in Japan and the best overall and that his views were stereotypical of a country where they had more than their own fair share of problems to be quickly gagged by a southern based governor ! Yes the basic message they sent out despite the over the top media frenzy is that if your English and misbehave or even enjoy yourself a little too much then beware

surprised this one hasnt surfaced after some time. The night Matt Jansen headed us back into the big time. Me and my mates and family had access to 9 PNE season tickets in their family stand as they had just gone on holiday to Turkey earlier that day. So we are in the stand and me mand my mate under orders not to jump around or cause any aggravation. Suddenly Rovers score in teh first half but alas its disallowed, I didnt notice as me and my mate danced with glee under the gaze of numpty ###### pne nobbenders who were a little miffed Rovers supporters had infiltrated @their@ end. The first half flew by as I cosntantly had to give the verbals back to nobbenders and to defelct any attention to the wife and daughter who were sitting close by. Half time see the entrance of the Old Bill, mates of mine. A swift exit follows as me and my pal are escorted around the pitch and deposited in the Rovers end in what is the tattiest little stand ever. A series of texts follow from the wife, all remained unanswered. The second half begins with Rovers again the better team until Sir Matt send the ball goalwards and the net bulges. 1-0 Rovers rejoice in the blue and white shirt. The rest of the game is a blur, the only thing that I really remember is the chance right at the end when nobbend nearly scored. Final whistle was fantastic. 2000 Rovers fans erupt, the nobbenders go home deflated whilst we are left to celebrate. Flitty, Matt, Shorty and co join in, Dunny and Duff as well as Souey are ecstatic. I managed to grab a tshirt off Dunny as I went for his shirt ! We had landed back in the big time and it was a fantastic feeling. Outside on deepdale Juniors school car park, a nobbender thinks its funny to accost my wife as she give me abuse for leaving them all stranded, he spits on the shirt and before he realises what it is he did a quick crack sent him flying through the windscreen of his car. Never have I seen a 5t2 bird deck a 19 stone fella with one foul swoop of a right hand So back to Leyland and the club was full of nobbenders sadly and glumly supping their pints whilst I walked in and ordered my bottle of champers which the wife had stashed in the fridge in readines for my celebration. What a night

you sure their fingers were not up the ar$es ?

mild drinkers are a dying breed literally. The olden generation 60's plus are the greatest mild drinkers the age group 40-59 are not really akin to supping the stuff, they are mainly bitter drinkers along with acomplished lager swillers, they are in the main real ale merchants the age group 30-39 are simply lager swillers with a little bot of bitter in between anyone up to 30 these days rely on the sickly alcopops and general sh%% they put out in bottles these days the youngsters would not dare touch a real ale drink not to mention hand pulled bitters/milds they are the ones who miss out !!

yesterday was just another fine exmple of Brads capabilities

anyne got any pics from the game?

PNE wont trouble us if they go up then the maximum at deepdale mudheap will be 18500 for the season with only 1500 away fans. I have actually seen the plans for a promoted pne for next season and although it would bring in big money for them, the crowds will be limited as they have not got FULL permission to build the 4th stand. Some of the locals have formed a petition and are refusing to back down as a new stand will provide them with a good view of a concrete structure !!

thank the good Lord that phil Neville is absent from that squad If Rooney is not making the world cup squad then its Defoe for me, he will score the goals we need despite everyones reservations about him. Remember the spirit

a long long way away

probably cause he knows he is leaving along with dickov, gresko, amoruso, gray and co

Rovers hould be a seeded team if they are required to play a qualifier

its on copverage for euro tv if you can find a pub other than that a 325 return fare from the jocklands and a ticket will onyl set you back a day trip of around £80 - value for money me thinks

Early city team news is that Distain is again out and that city will keep the same 11 that played so creditably versus the Ar$e Could it be taht city come for a draw in front of their 5000 travelling army

ooops the sun outdoors and a few beers !!! apologies
