😅. More importantly, what are you having for tea Glen?

Just as a side note, I was watching The Chase last night & we got a mention off Bradley Walsh. One of the questions was: "which of the former founders of the Football league have never played in the prem - Rovers, Burnley or PNE? Obviously the answer was Nobbers, but after the answer was given, Bradley said "yeah, & what's happened to Blackburn? They even won the Prem in 94/95, so sad to see where they are now. Good lad!

£109 more than last year for me & my daughter! Due to the stupid KO times and work commitments, we've missed more games this season than ever before so I think you know what you can do with your ST you stupid fat turd!

Perhaps they're waiting to see what division we'll be in before announcing the prices. 😲🤣

Usually, I'd be all in favour of something like this as it's something we've all been advocating for a while. However, the cynic in me sees this, especially the timing of it, and thinks that this is purely something to try & get the fans onside. "the peasant's are revolting. Quick, throw them a bone"

I was at University in Liverpool at the time & the build up in the city in the few days beforehand was quite strange/unbelievable really with shops selling out of any Rovers related scarves/shirts etc, not that there was a plethora of stuff in the first place, but still. A couple of my best mates there were both Liverpool fans, one a ST holder the other a more casual Anfield goer. Anyway, we couldn't get tickets through the usual sources so all 3 of us went to Anfield with only one having a ticket, the other 2 of us decided we'd try & get tickets outside off a tout. One guy approached us, sold us '2 tickets', we handed over the cash & he gave us an envelope with 'tickets' for the Kop. Buzzing, we started making our way to the stand, opened the envelope only to find that the 'tickets' were in fact 2 of the spare vouchers you used to get in the back of ST books. Bastard!! As we were stood there swearing about having been scammed a guy came up to us and said he'd just heard what had happened and that he had 2 spare tickets and only wanted face value for them, they were originally for his daughter and her boyfriend who now couldn't make it and we'd be sat next to him in the Main Stand. A tout overheard this and came steaming over offering this guy over the face value for them. To his credit this bloke turned to him and just said "fuck off, I'm talking to these lads. We gave the bloke the cash, he passed us the tickets and we set off for the turnstiles. My other mate, was just heading off to take up his seat in the Centenary stand when he called me back, took off his Liverpool scarf, put it around my neck & grabbed mine and put is around his, so there we were stood outside Anfield, I've got my Rovers shirt on with a Liverpool scarf and he's got his Liverpool top on with a Rovers scarf. Amazing to think that could actually happen. I'll be honest, other than Shearer's opening goal, the game is a bit of a blur, the celebrations were incredible though. After the game, I went back to the Halls of Residence bar & the first guy I saw as I walked in was a lad wearing a West Ham shirt. I tapped him on the shoulder and just said "I think I owe you a pint mate, what are you having?" Great times!

Dennis actually sat on the ball near the Riverside & tied his boot laces!! That's all I'm saying for today btw. Too angry, too upset, & yes I mean that & I'll be 50 fucking years old in a few weeks!!!

Ok, not posted for a few days whilst I calmed down. It hasn't worked! Who the f*ck thought employing this absolute prize shiny bell end was a good idea!!? Not gonna change much? We've not played with a back 3/5 all season! Trav? I had more respect for u than coming out with that crap today. Say nowt, it has more effect, no matter how much they offer u to say something. Don't like him, never will (VI for clarity). Venky's stooge. Operation dumb down again. Get those c**ts outfit OUR club, WE ARE THE ROVERS, not WATR, Us. Get em out! (Rant over!!)

I think it's John Curtis just above the top left hand corner of the Time logo. Tony Parks just below the logo. Think it might say Ciccio (Grabbi) next to the one that looks like Shefki. Edit: Looks like Frosty just beat me to the Grabbi one. Edit2: Looking at it, it might say Grabbi Ciccio rather than 'Shefki'

Ok, I've had a few beers & now having a forest (at home this time I might add!) But did we even have a shot in the last 10 mins? Fuck off pears, fuck off everyone apart from Trav & bigmak. Noone else gives a shit & the biggest fuck off goes to those with the inflatable snakes round their necks - wake up & smell the coffee, JE is not the issue!

Mangetout Rodney, Mangetout!

He booted the advertising board after scoring. Please don't tell me it's his own stupidity that's done it! 🤦‍♂️

Travis team talk for me. VI has done what he needs to on the training pitch, let Trav rally the troops. We're probably not quite there but I feel a bit if a Chris Samba moment against Wolves coming on! COYB

That definitely looks about right. Although I don't really remember Barton, it was always Glen for me in my early memories. Thank you so much for that, & I mean that from the bottom of my heart! 🙏🫶🤝 Where the hell did you find that? I've been searching for years!

I must admit, I always thought my first game was in 1983 - I knew it was the 82/83 season, however it turns out it was actually 16/10/82. A 3-0 win against Chelsea, Garner with a brace & Kevin Stonehouse. I can't find the Rovers lineup for that day but the main things I remember was being in the old Riverside stand with my Dad with the smell of pipe tobacco wafting up every few minutes and a bit of a scrap going on in the BBE, presumably with some Chelsea fans who'd got in there. I managed to find a few details from a Chelsea site, which shows a young David Speedie in the Chelsea team that day! Attendance? a whopping 6,062! All that really mattered to me that day was that I knew I wanted to back again. I was hooked.

That made me laugh way more than it should've done! 🤣

Spot on! 😅

Ok. I'm. Actually just having a forest in a pub so I'm gonna put it out there - it's Roberto di mateo. Signed & sealed starts on Sunday, will be at the game .

I did wonder who was going to be the first to make the assumption. 😄. Good to see you back on here Gumboots, always did like your sense of humour!

If we're looking at ex West Brom & Watford managers, what's Slaven Bilic up to these days? I reckon he'd last about 10mins before he lamped one of the chuckle brothers! 😄

I drive past there if I'm going into the office (WFH most days fortunately) & a blind man on a galloping horse could see that problem coming! I kept expecting a new multistorey car park to go up in the area, but no, absolutely nothing! And, as you say, the road infrastructure isn't up to having 50k people all trying to descend on it at once. On another note though, directly opposite the ground is a dodgy looking pub called, funnily enough, the Bramley Moore I bet the landlord there is rubbing his hands with glee! Other than a Chinese restaurant & a Subway there's not much else around there for food & drink without actually going in the stadium.

Anyone any idea why there only seems to be Betvictor offering odds? I'm not really a betting person (Grand National & days at the races aside), but would this suggest that something might be imminent?

Now that's proper old school! I bet there's a lot on here who've no idea what that is. 🤣 (Just for the youngsters, it's essentially the 'original' Just for Men) Edit: OMG! Just Googled it & can't believe it's still on sale!

On the manager search, it's a really strange position for the next guy. Usually you get the gig either in the summer when you've got time to work with your squad on styles of play etc, or you're walking into a relegation battle shitshow where you seriously need to change things to get results. The worst thing anyone can do here is to start ripping up the previous manager's coaching manual. That's why, for me, it either has to be your old school, pragmatic type (Warnock, Big Sam etc) or someone who's teams play in a similar vein (eg Edwards) - not that RE would be my first choice normally. It's a very tough one this time around and one which we need to get right to maintain our league position. Unfortunately, we've got the Chuckle Brothers & Frank Spencer making these decisions! (I'll let you decide who you think is who!🤣)

😅 At least we have a song ready to go! (and yes, I know you're only joking)
