I saw it this summer when it first came out in France, really bad movie. Certainly a must not see as a football fan as you pretty much see nothing apart from Zidane panting and walking around, though he does smile once. I've never seen so many people leave during the course of a movie before.

[Archived] Rovers Forget How To Defend Corner

At neither, saw both. -
He clearly isn't third choice. Whenever fit all the other three have been started, Jeffers needs two of them to be out to get a game. Maybe he is a different player now, but I don't think I've seen enough of him to fairly judge that. A few minutes here and there as substitute with the odd longer performance make it hard to judge if a player is really up to it. On the basis that he isn't third choice for Hughes, who sees him day-in-day-out, then I'll have to say he isn't third choice for me at the moment. As for how Jeffers dispatched the penalty, it did show me that he's an ok penalty taker.

Zidane often placed his penalties (the World Cup final being a good example). Shearer only ever hit them hard really, but I think it is perfectly acceptable to try and place as long as you are committed. I bet you that if you put it down the middle everytime you'd have a pretty decent conversion rate.

I think it is very good and certainly shows an improvement on previous years. However, we must remember that this is a striker who hadn't scored for 18 months (or something around that mark) before last night and that record still stands in the premiership and it was only a penalty afterall. He isn't suddenly worth the £8 million all over again simply because he's put in some good 15-20 minute displays and can smack a dead ball from a few yards. He is certainly behind Nonda and Benni, if he can push himself above Roberts (hard to judge because we haven't seen much of either) is yet to be seen. The advantage he does have is that he is a very different style of player to the other three, who all have somewhat similar styles (particularly with Nonda and Roberts who rely so much on pace and strength).

I am quite worried that people want to see more of Gally and Jeffers. Don't get me wrong, I think both are doing well coming off of the bench, but I think they are Kuqiesque in this manner. Great subs and they offer us something different, but whenever you see them on the pitch for long periods from the start of the game they offer little, especially in the case of Gally. Jeffers has been more impressive then I expected, but he is certainly 4th choice for me in the strikers list (1st for penalties though).

Started a game with Rovers a couple of weeks ago and it is going ok. First season I lost in the first round of the FA and League Cup and had a bad run in the league and only avoided the drop on the last day thanks to a superior goal difference, though somehow managed to win the UEFA Cup. Second season things are going a bit better, got to the second round of the League Cup and was in the top 4 until about November but have now slipped down to 8th (though it is very tight) and progressed past the group stages in the UEFA cup. -
The only sad thing is that his one fabulous goal a season has been used up. No more goals for Tugay for 12 months now.

I think that because no matter what we do we will have a weakened midfield that it is very important that we have our stongest defense, so don't play Emerton in central midfield. If we can return to the back four that was serving us well and was also good looking forward with Neill and Emo then I think that is the best thing for us. If we have to pursue with Gray on the left and Emo in the middle then we would be taking a problem and moving it to two places. -
Well Villa have been impressive this season and with our injury worries and recent premiership form you would expect us to lose, but I'll still go for 2-0 Rovers.

I thought he played very well second half and if he keeps playing like that then I won't have any complaints. -
Very good game and very enjoyable to watch. We weren't very good in the first half, but I thought that we were in total control in the second and deserved the win. Great goal from Tugay, soft penatly (but at least we scored one) and good to see Benni getting another goal.

Still can't win with Blackburn in the master league (fictional players).

Looks like superstella has snapped.

I know that it has been said that this game is on eurosport, but it isn't on their online tv listings.

It is idiotic, but simply because mistakes are being made is no reason to forget about the entire thing. -

Recieving more tax revenue isn't going to directly help us, but if it can stop people from buying a 4x4 then it is a good thing. In the case of the Richmond parking I think the fee is ridiculously small. Isn't it something like £300 for a year or something like that? I simply can't see how adding £300 a year to a car that may cost up to £40,000-£50,000 will put anyone off. -

I have to say, this has to be some of the most ridiculous stuff ever posted on this website. From the hole in the ozone layer to the obvious signs of pollution it is quite clear that we have an effect on the enviroment and on global warming. -

Then why do so many of the experts say that Humans are playing a huge role in bringing it on at the moment? (This has been pointed out to you countless times, you've yet to produce a good response). -

To be honest I think we are in desperate need of a bit of evolution at the moment, so roll on the heatwave. -
My point was that if e ever felt the need to improve the riverside that, in my opinion, we would be better off looking into building an entirely new, but probably slightly smaller, stadium. I don't actually think that either should be done.
-
The only real way I could ever see us not having that stand is if we made a totally new stadium. I simply can't see us ever being in a position where that would make sense to do, but if we did get a huge amount of new investment then a new and more modern but slightly smaller stadium might be the way to go.

Anyone know of any good deals still going for someone flying from the South?
