[Archived] A Break With Tradition

[thenodrog]

That journalist must have been a dimwitted Dingle, Tony Livesey perhaps ?

Lets have a look at what Blackburn has football wise outside the professional club.

1. A vibrant saturday local amateur football league (Blackburn Combination) containing over thirty teams in three competitive divisions - what does Burnley have to compare ?

2. A vibrant youth league thats almagamated with Accrington to make it even more competitive and also help share resources between towns to ease the pressure on the pitches.

3. A vibrant Sunday amateur football league (BSFL) containing again over thirty teams in three extremely competitive leagues.

4. JJB soccerdome now called Powerplay with over ten small sided pitches providing competitive leagues for all ages.

5.Blackburn Rovers Indoor Centre (BRIC) provides two indoor football pitches for small sided games providing leagues for various age groups.

6. Audley sports centre and Astroturf providing small sided leagues of all ages predominantly Asian users.

7. Two full size astroturf pitches at Witton Park that also provide small sided games and full sided games predominantly run by the council for various age groups.

8. Plus many more leagues and venues that escape me within the Blackburn with Darwen area.

Thats the local amateur scene almost covered, dont forget that Blackburn due to the Rovers co-founder John Lewis has the oldest refereeing associaition formed in 1899.

Plus Blackburn the town boast TWO totally different FA Cup winners in Blackburn Olympic and Blackburn Rovers. What with over 140 different nationalities currently in the town supporting many a team other than Rovers and dont forget there are Rovers fans sitting with the burnley fans at Wembley watching a game of football.

To say Blackburn isnt a football town is a bit one eyed and blinkered to say the least that extends to complete stupidity.

You forgot a modern hospital to treat all the injured players.

You forgot a modern hospital to treat all the injured players.

Yes, but Burnley are redeveloping their hospital into a new hospital so they arent that far behind on the hospital scene- i've seen the structure for the suicide ward .

[SamDingle]

"I take it your just a pathetic claret arsewipe who has admittedly bred his children to show contempt for fellow human beings your just the scum of the earth little man"

"I would hope we'd have more class than that..."

Aye, it's very classy on here.

[roversmum]

We have roversmum but this is no time for turning the other cheek Im afraid.

Scores have to be settled, like another 2-0 and 5-0.

THAT is an entirely different matter and goes without saying

[JC4LAB]

Im all for Burnley coming up...The thought of Burnley needing to win at Blackburn at the end of the season in order to stay up..Who needs a trip to Wembley..

[longsiders1882]

Judging by your non reply longsider, I take it your just a pathetic claret arsewipe who has admittedly bred his children to show contempt for fellow human beings your just the scum of the earth little man.

JAL.

Nice. Shame really that you let yourself down by resorting to personal insults. Thankfully I'm a bigger man and won't sink to your level. I don't have the comparable information in my head and can't really be bothered to look it up if I'm honest.

In terms of the hospital comment - I'd keep my gob shut about that shambles, nothing in that place to be proud of at all.

That said you also have Lord Taylor Of Blackburn doing your towns name proud at the moment.

Anyway, to those more sensible posters, on a wing and a prayer I hope to be facing you next season. To the rest, ah well I hope your bitterness keeps you warm in bed at night.

Goodbye for now - I'll be back Tuesday, win or lose, to gloat or to take the insults.

Game set and match - Blackburn Rovers!

Kitty Usher? Salim (don't wipe the blood off) Malik?

[OhmiBRFC]

There was 3 Dingles out round town last night giving the whole 'we're at Wembley on Monday.' They soon got offended when I asked them how many fingers they had... muppets.

[SamDingle]

Yeah. I should imagine they physically reeled from such a cruel verbal joust.

[OhmiBRFC]

Obviously you wasn't there so you cannot comment...

Do you not have your own forum?

[roversmum]

I don't know. Six fingers could be quite useful. I've often wished I had three hands...

What bitterness is this?

Bitter about the fact we're not in the same league as you? About the fact we're not as "successful" as you? About the fact your going to the new Wembley so you can come upto our standards?

[deryck guyler's spoon]

Yeah. I should imagine they physically reeled from such a cruel verbal joust.

It's an old favourite. Give the public what they want.

[Sir Ranulf Westwood]

To carry on my perfect 100% score prediction for Burnley this season, I'd say Clarets score two, and United pull one back only for Burnley to hang on and make it to the PL.

Good luck with that!

Otherwise I think you have just posted the most popular strapline on this MB come Monday evening.

Lord Taylor is an out and out disgrace and his title of Blackburn shall be removed with immediated effect.

As for you longsider, just hope they have extra large gates to get your big thick empty claret head through so that you can watch your wretched team.

Nothing personal

[Sir Ranulf Westwood]

Looking forward to the game tonight, I'm going with Mr Andrew Payton should be a great night.

I can see the Clarets edging this one 2 nil, to make it 3 on agg.

It will be fun beating the Blades at Wembley also.

It should be amsuing to see BFS resorting to hoofing balls up the pitch to Samba when we play you next year.

Congratulations on reaching 40 points by the way, I think it's a great acheivement for the current rovers squad.

My predictions are Legendary.

Andy Payton has a box at Wembley for this one, myself and the boys will be joining him to watch this famous Clarets victory.

If you are continually going to name drop can you not find a better one than Andy Payton?

btw Payton'll be lost in that box..... it'll be bigger than his terrace in Padiham and will prob have access to an inside lavvy and hot and cold running water.

[SamDingle]

Myself, Longsiders and Ranulf are the most reasonable and literate posters on this thread. FACT.

[almuncle]

I am sure if he promises to wear pampers ,they will let him sit on a seat seeing as it is a special day for you all- then there is no need to carry a box all that way.

[Fife Rover]

Hey I resent that! (couldn't find a smily for "miffed")
