An old, but very good read.

Bring back Vratislav Gresko!

Dingle bashing day. Time to restore the natuaral order of the univerese.

We should reflect on the Liverpool-Everton derby. Never any trouble for that game and fans don't even need to be segregated!

So it is possible.

True but also worth noting that one set of those fans aren't knuckle draggers.

[K-Hod]

Woken up early, the nerves are setting in (some things never change), they'll soon enough be settled to a degree by alcohol!

The main difference there being it's two clubs from the same city and there are even families who have fans of both clubs.

That takes some of the sting out of it.

That's a fairly unique rivalry though. Same city and same families in some cases. You couldn't have no segregation for Liverpool vs Utd for example.

Come on Rovers. 0-1. Hanley. COYB.

[Ewood Spark]

Happy Dingle Day!

Myth is that pal .

We was working near Goodson a couple of seasons ago when there was a Sunday kick off . The pubs were like war zones and they fought outside them as well.

Best game I've been to.

Let's have a repeat today.

#COYB

Nothing else in life matters today .

Don't forget some member on here doesn't reckons it's not intense like other Derbys ... Those attending beg to differ

[oldjamfan1]

I'll be safe as houses in Glasgow town with several malts to keep me warm.

Hope you're watching it at home BM - Rangers kick off at the same time and is likely to be the game of choice on pub tellies in Glasgow, not to mention the North London Derby!!

I'll be watching it at home on the north side of the city, my sister - another Rovers season ticket holder - is coming over from Bo'ness COYB!!!

Was going to post something similar. Although it is an unusual derby game in many senses, the notion that there isn't trouble at Merseyside derbies is nonsensical. There has been bother in the city on derby day since time immemorial. Not necessarily at or near the grounds though.

Spot on. That friendly sitting together in the same stand thing went out the window years ago. They don't get on.

Been up since 5.30. Couldn't sleep. Not even going but the nerves have well and truly kicked in. Beer O clock circa 10.45.

Get in their faces. Let's get a tackle in like Flanagans the other night early on. Let them know who they're playing!

COYB!!

[Kie_BRFC]

Not posted recently because not got round to changing my 'profile picture' yet, but BRING ON THE DINGLES. COME ON!!!!

P.S if a mod could remove my picture for me that would be great 😝

[Presty On Tour]

All i want is the players to play for the shirt and the fans. Anyone of us would give anything to play today and they should show that passion on the field as we do in the stands.

Anyone half hearted or shirking out will not be tolerated. It's our derby and we'll see today who wants to be here next season.

Winning and bragging rights is everything. Every ounce of sweat and blood should be given today to put a spanner in their promotion push. I Don't want to see a smug Dyche thinking he's berty big @#/? at the end of the game. I want to see Lambert giving it large.

Let's @#/? them up and send them home crying to the sister girlfriends!

[arbitro]

The nerves are kicking in now, why does football do this to grown men? We need to start quickly and with intensity and make our challenges count. Keep it tight and no silly mistakes. If there is a Burnley nil scoreline at 14.30 we will have won, of that I am sure.

No shrinking violets or passengers out there today.

[ABBEY]

Let's hope dunny is sat on the bench and walks across the pig pen

I actually feel chilled and calm .

0-4

That's just a normal day in Liverpool ;-)

Yes Jam, I'd spotted that as a potential problem. But Walkabout in Glasgow has multiple screens and is showing all 3, so Im going to take the chance.

Failing that a Celtic Pub might do the business.

Kitty O'Sheas in Waterloo Street (Central Station/Hope Street end) would be my suggestion, because there is a sports bar next door (The Drop). Between those two you're almost certain to be able to see the game.

2-1 to the mighty Blues. A tense affair, but there's only ever one winner!

COME ON ROVERS!!!!

Hoping the Edinburgh situation is better. We always have the Sportsters down at Waverley to fall back on in an emergency I suppose. Been up for ages getting keyed up for this, seems weird not to be going though.

That Wetherspoons on Rose Street tends to show Sky Sports rather than the other channels. If they do that today you're sorted! (Think its called the Standing Order)

[Hasta]

You tend to find pubs that have Sky but not BT Sport often, but rarely the other way around, so I'm sure you'll all find somewhere.
