Waggy and Gordon Taylor with Hird and Bailey the flying full backs. Was a real joy to watch

He was by far and away our best player today. He looks far more comfortable against Prem opposition than he does in the Championship (generally)

Yes I agree with you on Bucko. Pretty poor in 1st half but he was instrumental in quickening the pace of the game in the 2nd half with his quick passing (and forward passes to boot -unusual from our mf this season)

Baker is bloody awful. Get shut of him. Utter dog shit today. Has he ever passed forwards?

Yes I remember that well. It was v Sunderland and I had a pub in Ossy at that time. I had a coach load and a mini bus full of Mackems in the pub from about 3pm that day and it was only called off around an hour before ko time. The drivers had even started calling out the fans that it was time to leave for Ewood when the postponement announcement came on Sky. It was gutting for them - wasted day and all that. My till fkin loved it though lol

I don’t get what Baker brings to this team. I think he’s just a championship plodder who should be nowhere near a top six starting eleven. I just don’t get what the point of him is.

What a pile of shite you spout. Comes on for 19 mins at 2-0 down and game over to replace a pathetic midfield duo of Travis and Tronstad who offered zero, zilch, fuck all going forward who got overrun and bullied by the mighty Coventry and it’s his fault we lose! Two holding midfielders who can’t hold nor can they create or even see a forward pass. Travis has had his usual 5 or 6 decent games for the season and will revert to type. Trondstad is better as the holding midfielder without another one in the team. You don’t need 2 dms in this league.

Yes it is on Channel 508 red button. If you have the streaming box all matches are on but if you still have the TiVo box only a handful of matches are available

What’s the point of Baker? He’s utter dog shit

Ha ha. I was in RAF and took 2 Scouse mates to a match at Ewood in early 80s. Fukkkkin hell said one “it looks like the fukkkkin hovis advert. I said nowt and just inwardly smiled smugly to myself. It dawned on them next time it was on TV. “R A I’ve been there. Is that fukkkkin Blackbearn?” Dumb fuckers - but one was an armourer after all A - I’m an armourer B - I’m an armourer C ………😂😂😂

Lol. Have you been drinking 😂😂 They had half the bottom tier which was about half full. So about 1300ish

No that was Grimsby. Jim Smith got them promoted in 84 and again in 85 to the First Division. They had Aldridge and Billy Hamilton up top

18k

Only if that’s what you’re proposing

I well remember the run we went on from Jan to April 1980. P15 W 14 D 1 L0. And we should have beaten Villa in the 5th Round Replay at Villa Park. Howard Kendall was a superb manager in his short stint here as he was at Everton

Yes and that did us no harm. Jack Charlton hated it but it got us promoted at his first attempt and only the useless Nobbers scuppered a promotion to the old 1st Division a year later. I’d take a Howard Kendall as manager every day of the week

Yes but it could go the other way! The 2002 cup final win spurred the team on for the rest of the season. Confidence comes from winning matches so don’t belittle a win against a middling Prem team in the FA Cup. Might work wonders for the club and supporters

What are you on about? The lad has been injured for past 2 months and hasn’t played any competitive football. He’s probably not ready. Ffs the new manager has been here one week and you have him writing people off because they’re injured. Get a fucking grip

I’ve teetered and finally fallen off. After 59 years following Rovers all over the place my season ticket has been binned a couple of weeks ago. Never going on again until they F off (probably pop my clogs before that). Can’t stand it now at Ewood

Be a lot better than the shit show that is Blackburn Rovers

Depressing isn’t it

That’s it for me this season at least. I’ve lost all hope at this moment for this once magnificent club. Season ticket binned. 59 years attending. I’m done until these disingenuous owners and their yes men leave. Hurting me but I have to walk away for my sanity

Ha ha either or to be honest! Never thought of that lol
