92er Champions League

92er

In my 35+ years as a Rovers fan, we have won the the following:

old 3rd Div Champions - manager Gordon Lee

promotion from old 3rd div - Howard Kendall

promotion to prem via play-offs - Kenny Dalglish

prem league champions - Kenny Dalglish

Promotion to prem - Graeme Souness

League Cup - Graeme Souness

In my book that makes Souness a very important part of my Rovers experience, and indeed our proud history.

Of course it all went down the toilet, but some people have way too short memories and conveniently forget all the good stuff he did for us.

What about that funny cup in 1987?

Nicko, should we be worried about Hughesy leaving to join the spuds if we beat them at the weekend?

I think he is a live candidate for reasons stated before - they wanted him as part of a team with Trapattoni a few years ago and obviously rated him as one for the future.

It would not surprise me if there was a call now, but would he fancy the turmoil that is Tottenham?

4) And finally, yes, according to the article, they are Pakistanis. Pakistanis have no history of having any deep seated interest in football and as such I would personally have no confidence at all that if this deal went through that it wouldn't simply be a means of flogging Ewood or Brockhall off for a profit or other purpose. If it was a Pakistani group who were longstanding Rovers supporters that fear wouldn't be as valid, but that would appear not to be the case as they apparently previously bid for Derby.

If I thought any backer(s) had deep enough pockets AND the right intentions it wouldn't matter a jot to me what their nationality was, or the colour of their skin. Kindly engage brain before tossing around thinly veiled accusations of racism in future. :angry:

I didn't accuse, I asked, in a polite and logical fashion. My brain was sufficiently engaged, thankyou. So you can put your little angry emoticon away. As others stated though, you appear to have made rapid sweeping generalisations that imply that no Pakistani who ever lived held a deep seated interest in football (You say they 'have no history' of it...as someone else said this is rather like saying New Zealand have no history of producing good footballers simply because the majority have been crap).

The Thought police have arrived :angry:

Yeh right. I'm one of the least politically correct people I know. Anybody who has met me knows this perfectly well. But one thing I won't brook is racism. If you believe in freedom of expression you're going to have to believe in my freedom to tell racists where to go.

I'm certain that it's quite the opposite in this case otto man...... ;)

You're right. My university degree counts for nought and I never think.

I remembered that after I had originally posted. Don Mackay is a legend too!!

How could I have possibly forgot that day? Mind you, I was very very drunk at the time!!

Yes they were.

I left that up, so that everyone can see what is unacceptable. We still had someone post that there had been no racist comments, - it might have been better if they had actually checked that statement. That's where the line is drawn now. Nothing else like that will be tolerated.

But you ARE being PC, YOU imagined what was going on in peoples minds at the time of writing that post, NO evidence of racism and yet you accuse and I quote,"Most people" of having just those thoughts....Madness! <_<

perhaps you can enlighten us further Rev? :wacko:

Basically a knock out cup format played between participating clubs from the top two divisions. Introduced during the English clubs ban from European competition following the fatalities at Heyshall as a result of the misbehaviour (yet again) of Liverpool supporters.

............... Sorry for 'misbehaviour of Liverpool supporters' can you take it as 'incompetence of police/officials/stewards etc during Liverpool matches?

Absolutely Theno! You just managed to avoid a knock on the door at 3am from the PC Police there.

I have visions of rows of 6yr-old's sitting with arms folded at school, and chanting the mantra "Liverpool fans are never wrong, Liverpool fans are never wrong......." ad infinitum.
