I have no time for him after he downed tools for six months when we needed him to step up.

Enjoyed this comment in particular:

'He’s a bulldozer of a player and we’re using him as a lawn trimmer.'

Unless you mean the one at the back of Revidge, then no.

Blimey, that's a blast from the past! I spent countless hours as a kid messing around up there!

I wonder if it's still there...

[Forever Blue]

RIP Gary Shaw. 
 

I wanted to be him so badly as a kid! Always had a soft spot for Villa ever since.

It's the North Sea by then surely? Good shout though.

Demolished when it shut. I still remember it feeling like you were on top of the world when you got up there as a little kid! Would that have been the highest point in Blackburn, or were the houses on Revidge Road higher still?

I’d take a prime shearer over haaland any day and that’s without bias

I think the houses where higher, the view was to the west.

Matt Jansen was in a similar style as was Brian Little who preceded Shaw at Villa.

That was John Bray’s nickname. Our right back in that great early 1960’s team. He was built like one. Andy Morrison was a look a like for Bray.

In the article it is stated that it is not all about money. if that is the case, I wonder if the players would agree to play less, but their wages are cut to reflect that ?

ungrateful lazy soft  arses

when you factor in the pointless nations league and that completely insane world club cup they`ve invented i think they do have a point

[ABBEY]

nah ...soft arses

[K-Hod]

There are definitely more injuries because of these extra games. If they all meant something, I'd kind of get it, but so many of these matches, pre-season friendlies and competitions are completely pointless and meaningless IMO.

more games ? they played more in the 70s & 80s. Imagine this lot playing good Friday, Easter Saturday and Easter Monday

They also didn't have all this modern science and so called recovery aids.

If they are too bone idle to play twice a week they should give their 100s of thousands pounds a week back .

Just the modern generation of soft lazy arsed tossers.

I don't think you quite grasp how physically demanding the modern game is.

I don't begrudge the players getting paid good money for what they do. Unlike investment bankers or scumbag landlords football players actually have to work for a living.

If you look back to when I first started watching there were lots players at Rovers, and other clubs, who were playing 40,41 and 42 out of 42 games. You don’t see that today. The only conclusion I can draw from that is the modern game is more demanding on the bodies of players. The more games, the greater the demand on the body, the more injuries.
