Tyrone Shoelaces Posted April 26, 2020 Posted April 26, 2020 Across the road from my house is a common bounded by a row of trees that are always in lovely pink and and white blossom around this time of year. On the Monday morning after the win I remember walking to work through lots of blossom on the footpath. Looking out of my lounge window I can see the blossom starting to fill the footpath again. This time of year it always takes me back to that Monday morning and that feeling of pure euphoria I felt. 2 Quote

Obviously I wanted to win the game, but I remember the conspiracy theories out in full force before the game suggesting that Liverpool would go easy on us and wouldn't be bothered. To stop any rediculous doubts, I think what happened was the best outcome. Indeed. Conspiracy theories orchestrated by Man United. At least that's one thing they don't have as an excuse. Quote

If I could change one result in Rovers' history it would be the 3-0 defeat at Selhurst Park in 1989. The worst feeling I have ever had walking off a football ground. No need to go past the first reply on this thread, without doubt the worst I have ever felt walking away from the ground, I was 10 years old and sobbing like a baby, it sticks with me to this day. 2 Quote
mhead Posted April 28, 2020 Posted April 28, 2020 That Rovers win at Man Utd that Kean lived off for 2 more years. 1 Quote

If the result went Rovers way and promotion achieved would there have been a title in 1995? There would have been no need for Dalglish as Mackay was able to do it. He would have had the keys to the club too as he managed it all on a shoestring budget. Quote
bazza Posted April 28, 2020 Posted April 28, 2020 If I could change only one result in MY time of watching Rovers it would be to reverse a scoreline. F.A.Cup final 1960. Wolves 0 Rovers 3. That was 60 years ago. Good heavens! But it would have given us an extra FA Cup win and extra trophy that would last for ever, even when people have forgotten Selhurst Park and the Chelsea semi-final. That season we had already beaten the cream of the first division; Spurs, Burnley and Sheff Wed. All we had to do was beat the fourth of the cream teams, But there was Derek Dougan and Dave Whelan's broken leg. Alas.......not to be. 4 Quote

Bbrovers2288 Posted April 29, 2020 Posted April 29, 2020 The Celtic loss hurt me the most as I was at a glasgow high school and was confident all day of a rovers win, got pelters next day. honourable mentions to trelleborgs embarrassment and Newcastle knocked us out the fa cup in a replay 93/94 , lee Clark scored, I felt we had a chance to win the cup that year 1 Quote
dave birch Posted April 29, 2020 Posted April 29, 2020 No so much a result, just a goal. I would have loved Grabbi's embarrassment of the clown at Ewood to stand. It looked legitimate to me, but.... and he would forever have been a legend (so to speak). 1 Quote
