Weird feelings of football thread

[frosty]

Crystal Palace under Hodgson would lose most games and hardly score apart from Zaha getting about 10 a season, but still finish 12th-14th on 40 odd points.

Jussi Jaaskelainen has been Bolton's number one for the last 25 years.

Steve Bruce has been manager of Wolves.

Jason Roberts missed every one-on-one chance he got in his time at Rovers.

It's glorious sunshine on the opening day of every season without fail.

The Homes Under The Hammer Presenter, Dion Dublin, is good friends with the producers of Football Focus and Match of the Day.

As a result of this friendship, he is often invited on to both shows to have a go at punditry. This is despite him having never kicked a ball in his life before.

Listened to a podcast this afternoon with Dion Dublin on . He said that Coventry chairman had agreed a 6.7 million fee with rovers and was trying to force him to come but he point blank refused to even come and meet us. 
He ended up at villa not long later for For £5.7 million

The renovation obsessed Pinocchio. He wishes Rovers were in for him 😁.

Nah, it's true, he did turn us down. November 1998, that must have been around the time we signed Blake. We signed Ward a month later. He could have saved us a lot of bother had he agreed to join us.

I read him say he wanted to go somewhere where he could win trophies.

FA Cup Final 2000 - Chelsea 1-0 Villa.

League Cup Final 2002 - Rovers 2-1 Spurs.

Oh well, Dion. Oh well 💪.

Whichever team is the comedy act that season, bottom of the league, with 3 points by December, they will get a result against us.

The last time Rovers scored a 90th minute winner was back in January 2008, when Jason Roberts scored late on at the Reebok Stadium.

If true that is a shocking stat as we seem to have let plenty in during that time. 
Dunny’s equaliser at Ewood against the inbreds felt like a winner right enough, but even that must be what, 8 or 9 years ago now.

It isn't true, no, it just feels that way.

Based on MarkBRFC's post from a few days ago, our last 90th minute winner was in December 2020 against Rotherham, the one before that was in November 2019 against Sheffield Wednesday. That is poor, as we seem to have conceded plenty of late goals over the past few years.

Scotty beamed us up in 1992.

Then retired.

 

I have no real recollection of him playing for either Newcastle or Bolton.

[Mattyblue]

Same with Jason Wilcox, think he went straight to Man City’s Academy whilst penning a LT column next to our Rev…

Any European striker that the big clubs in England are unsure about ends up being sent to a London based testing ground first, otherwise known as West Ham United.

If he impresses at West Ham, one of those big clubs will take him off their hands. If not, he will be sold to a Spanish or French club and nobody will speak of him again.

Elton Welsby ceased to exist after 1992

Whenever Rovers kick towards the Blackburn End in the first half, it's never a good day/evening for us.

[Mattyblue]

 We have won just two night matches away from home since 2012.

[Upside Down]

That's a stone cold fact.

[Nuttall is lost]

Rovers winning a game that's live on Sky would cause the Earth to be sucked into a black hole or at best warp the space-time conitnuum 

[Mattyblue]

We’ve never lost at the Riverside.

[DeeCee]

Football focus has turned into women's football focus.

Mahrez misses every penalty he ever takes.

[Upside Down]

Shearer scored every penalty he took, except that one where Bobby Robson lost his house.
