Every Rovers goal scored at St. James' Park since 1993:

 

The Paul Gallagher fist shot was wonderful. Me and my lad had been invited by a magpie pal to join him in the posh seats. When Gallagher scored we were up on our feet, nobody around us was. 😂. It was obvious to everyone that it was handball.

That was funny as fuck. Especially when he had a cheeky look up to see whether he'd been caught or not.

I remember listening to it on Radio Lancs and the commentators being in disbelief that we had got away with it.

The amazing thing is, we did it again two seasons later, when Morten punched in the winner at the same end. Get in! 😁.

Yordi, anybody? Shame he only scored once more for us after this, but a towering header it was!

The present is absolute shit, Rovers wise. Nothing changes until the bastards sell, so I'll post some old highlights in the meantime:

Rovers v Aston Villa (October 2004)

 

[SuperBrfc]

Rovers v Bolton (February 2008)

 

[SuperBrfc]

Rovers v Fulham (September 2008)

Great header. Fun fact - he's one of very few players whose debut for a club has come in a major cup final (so excluding things like the Community Shield).

 I much prefer the 4-0 hammering we gave them in 97/98

One more for tonight.

Duff to Cole to Yorke. What a goal. We've seen some real quality pull on a Rovers shirt.

Super goal ,note how fast the ball went forward, non of this crazy passing between centre halves...Also Friedel would have been in the goals that day  , his job was too stop the opposing team from scoring , not be a modern day Tugay !!! What's more he was bloody good at it !

He didn't need to be Tugay. We already had Tugay!

And people have the actual fucking nerve to ask where we'd be without venkys.

The guy front centre saying to his mate,

”I can’t believe it, they’ve shut the gates. It’s a bloody sell out. I knew we shouldn’t have had that last pint”

No. He's saying to his mate," I bet in 94 years time they won't even open the Blackburn End for a cup-tie. Some guy called Maggot will be running the club."

And his mate is saying, fuck off you must be mad.
