[Archived] And So It Begins Again!

i caught the sending off on video, got another tape today to tape some of the game at Ulm.

Ben.

[Ben-2000]

the ref was a t0sser bytheway!

[Ricky]

The red card isn't even mentioned on the official site report

[roversWASmylife]

Shouldnt think so, i would have thought we will have a strong case if he does as the game was only a 50 minute game. Souey seemed to be shaking his hand after the game and in a boyent mood so hopefully he wont be banned and wont be included in the referees report.

Didn’t this happen to Gillespie during one pre-season? He got sent off in one of the pre-season games and missed the first few games of the season due to suspension?

[Ben-2000]

its now on the official site about de pedro being sent off, looks like they had no choice not to hide it anymore...

[The Producer]

Official site also now says it won't lead to a suspension because it was a self-contained pre-season tournament with its own set of rules. Phew - couldn't handle another farcical game with no specialist left-midfielder!

Don't think its a case of hiding it. It's more like clarification, all they could have put it we are not sure. But now they know they have put it up. Would be stupid for the offical site to not put up information that is available on the supporters site (where lee posts)!

De Pedro sent off on his Debut not the best of starts, didn't flitty get sent off on his debut (i may be wrong )

Reyes scored an own goal on his debut. Maybe it's Spanish speciality?

[Manchester Blue]

Few more pictures and you can see the away kit on this one.

[Ricky]

I clicked on the link but can't find any picks. Can someone tell me how to get to the pics of the away shirt.

Yeah... handball/elbowing someone (?) after 3 mins vs Everton March 1996.

Right in front of the Darwen End - I was there!

Not suprisingly we lost 3-0

Birmingham Lose and Win

And so we play Bohemians Prague (or something) should be a totally spell binding encounter between 2 giants of the footballing world!

AT least we can get our hands on a cup!

[Manchester Blue]

We were always playing Bohemians Prague. I'm not sure if there is a cup to win as such as we are supposed to be playing first followed by Brum v Ulm. I think that the Rovers and Brum wanted to avoid each other so the fixtures were set as those.

[Scotty]

We were always going to play Bohemians Prague as neither Blackburn or Birmingham wanted to play each other. Something about it being too competitive for this stage of pre-season or something.

Birmingham will be playing Ulm on Friday. Last night, during the break between the two Rovers matches, SteB, Manchester Blue, Jordan and myself were sat outside a bar just across from the stadium drinking an ale or two. Along comes one of the Ulm players and sits down with us saying he wants to speak English again as he misses it.

The player was Daniel Sengewald who apparently used to play for Motherwell under Terry Butcher a couple of years ago - as well as a string of other clubs including Royal Antwerp, 1860 Munich and Genclerbirligi. He was a top fella and sat there chatting with us for about ten minutes or so before he had to rush off and get ready for the match against Rovers.

While he was there Souness walked past so Jordan mentioned that Daniel used to play for Motherwell. Souness then came over for a quick chat - at one point he was pointing out the virtues of Glasgow women!

Anyway, our Dan (as we now know him!) gave Jordan his mobile number and has promised to show SteB and Jordan the sights and sounds of Ulm after the game on Friday. Daniel also mentioned that he hated Robbie Savage (as well as telling us an extremely libellous story about Savage that I couldn't possibly repeat on here) so there could be a bit of needle on Friday.

Do you think that they could have made the HSA sign any bigger

Why's there a squirrel on the chest as well?

Maybe his hair is even longer this year and its just his pony tail

[Flopsy]

nah its a Squirrel

and if it is his hair - he needs to have it cut. effing hippy

[bob fleming]

That's the squirrel that warned Tugay about the car that was about to hit him. Tugay swerved at the last millisecond thanks to the squirrel and his life was saved. Since then they've been inseparable. What a good do.

Move aside Rocky and Bullwinke becuase here comes Tugay and Squirrel to save the day. Maybe its our new centre Mid.

isn't that know as beastility, I don't think Tugay should have any distraction this season, Souness should ban beastility for the season at least

[bob fleming]

Chris - It's early days in their relationship and I for one wish them all the very best. They don't need this constant probing into their private lives. It's a perfectly normal relationship that should be left to develop at it's own pace between a grown man and a squirrel. Strewth, it's like the dark ages on here sometimes.
