Lenny pops up again against Vale at Ewood

 

Good job the message board hadn't been invented then Herbie - it'd be melt down time, sneaking a draw with the mighty Port Vale at home. Yet 5 years later !

That was a great cross from Gayle there,anybody leaving early after Vale scored would have been running back into the ground.No matter how bad we've played i can't remember ever leaving early from a game.

I wish we had an Howard Gayle out wide now. I remember watching him playing for Liverpool as a young player in a European Cup game and he looked to be a terrific prospect.

Shearer...no, not that one...

I asked the guy who posts them how comes YouTube didn’t block it on copyright grounds & he said he tried a few songs until he found one that they allowed.
Not big fans of Tom Petty at YouTube I presume...?

Great run from Howard there. Like all good players he just glided over the ground. They don't seem to be going that quickly but they never appear to get caught. Like I said earlier, wingers ? Who needs them Tony.  

Lenny Johnrose was interviewed on BBC TV local news at about 6-45 pm. He's very a brave guy.

In all honesty Ian I didn't know it was Tom Petty ???

Imaginative free kick. Maybe we should try that one this season.

Sounds like he should’ve been taking penalties as we’d missed 9 out of 12

Charlton Athletic away...a classic ?

A young Roy Keane discusses being linked to Real Madrid, Liverpool and Rovers. Can't see us being in a transfer battle with those two clubs again - so let's savour a time when that was the case.

Not all is lost, I just had a 3 way battle with Liverpool and Real Madrid on FM 20! 

Seriously though good post ??

This was a really bad season but it meant Jack decided to pull us out of the doldrums so in the end the pain of the season was followed by a lot more pleasure

Cracking picture of a packed old Ewood. Only trouble is it’s seconds after McGrath scored Utd’s second in the cup tie

Looks like Olsen has forgotten to put his shorts on.
