  1. A very good effort against more experienced and physically mature opponents. Sadly, not too many on show (both sides) showed too much technical ability. Raya, Nyambe, Mahoney and then Hardcastle caught the eye. First three should be given some extended 1st team game time before the season ends.
  2. Managed to pick up some pre match stuff in the car and early commentary. Nothing ever changes - I think Yardley is an absolute knob. Would be amazed if they changed their tune later on - unless they've been told they are finished next season !
  3. Have a word with them - we always tell them we need some time between starters and mains.
  4. Remember going to Naga on the first Saturday that it opened (must be a few years ago now). It was a very poor experience in terms of both service and food and therefore haven't been back since. Based on some of the comments on here, I assume they have now got their act together ? IMV, best Indian Restaurant around here is Shajan - been going close on 20 years and never disappoints. For takeaways and in Chorley area, Shanti Lounge at Buckshaw Village takes some beating.
  5. Extremely sad. A strapping young lad in his early days at Rovers who seemed to have real potential. Not sure Bobby Saxton gave him the opportunities he perhaps deserved.
  6. Chris Flanagan ‏@ChrisFlanaganLT 1m Rovers on front foot at the moment, looking for an equaliser. Off down to the local now - fully expect 3 points in the bag when I return and the depression to have lifted on this MB.
  7. Cometh the hour cometh the man ! A Goodwillie brace for a 2-1 win. Think positive !
  8. Panic over, the lads are safe for another season. Didn't know what all the fuss was about. Nice little win double there !!!
  9. Kamy - when is Bowyer due back ? If there today, he can't be back before tomorrow at the earliest.
  10. Shocked. Puts everything into perspective. Never personally met 'Kelbo' but exchanged messages and sensed he was a really good and knowledgeable bloke. You will be missed. Thoughts and prayers are with the family. RIP.
  11. A decent signing for The Championship, no argument there. However, if someone can make sense of the negotiation, and I say that loosely, and a four year contract for a 30 year old journeyman, then please enlighten me. Here is a guy who is/was a Fulham 'squad player'. So did we really need to increase his wage (as I understand it) and give him a four year contract ? IMO, very poor management from BRFC. Etuhu must think all his Christmases have come at once ! If it was my brass, I certainly wouldn't be happy at what we are signing for the contractual money involved - Best, Murphy, Gomes, Etuhu. Contractual wage cost of that quartet will, possibly, be around £20million. Add bonuses, transfer fees and agent fees on top, and I don't think you will be far short of £35million. Good business ? I know what I think.
  12. Hmmm. Just about sums Rovers up now, IMO !
  13. Sad news, as with any passing. Jack & Fred both came from humble beginnings to become hugely successful self made businessmen who never lost that common touch. Had some limited business dealings with Fred and he negotiated and counted every penny in a deal ! Self made, common touch, a stark contrast to present owners of Rovers.
  14. Not heard anything yet to suggest that this isn't the case - Daily Star report supports. Heard that Kean was incredibly shifty @ today's Presser when questioned on subject. Some journos hadn't a feckin clue what he was on about or meant.
  15. Not a chance of O'Neil coming as a No2. McKinlay's hot - heard this from someone not on Nicko's Christmas card list, therefore, two confirmations.
  16. You always seek to appoint someone better than yourself !!! Once appointed a 'high flyer' and asked why I should give him the job - he said he'd put me on the golf course for 12 months whilst he sorted things out. Sounded good, gave him the job, feckin brilliant - now a FTSE 100 CEO.
  17. Chaddy - you either drinking or snorting, or both !!! Not a snowball's chance in hell !!!
  18. Thought it was a yearly roller. Rarely, in football circles, have I heard of anyone employed in a 'senior' position with a PL club on a monthly roller !! If so, absurd !!
  19. No one in their right mind would come here as Kean's No 2 without the 'comfort' of a 2 year deal.
  20. Have heard Billy McKinlay's name mentioned.
  21. Lots of speculation about reasons for Jensen leaving. Just heard one school of thought that he was "about to pull the trigger on Kean". Seemingly, Kean frightened that the sh1t would hit the fan made his move. Apparently, has been brewing for days and decision made late Tuesday.
  22. Thoughts: I think Kean is a cunning b@st@ard and this is all about self preservation. Kean worked with Jensen from Jan. to end of season, then offered him a longer term deal. If Kean thought he was the man after a 5 month trial, what has suddenly gone wrong ? IMO, only answer coming through loud and clear is 'scapegoat'. Who on earth would come in from outside as Kean's No2 - I doubt anyone in football trusts the guy. I didn't rate JJ as a football man but I have far greater faith in his integrity and decency than Kean's. Yet another excuse lined-up for Saturday - injuries and not having staff in place. IMO, Kean is utter poison and the sooner he's out of our club the better.
