He ain't though! They think he's a prick and who could argue? Just look and observe their body language!

I apologise to you SG194: We’re all ‘revved up’ and as a consequence sometimes make comments that one would like to retract. I hope that you think similarly. Please can everyone desist in making smart arse and snide comments, attempts at ‘point scoring and just focus on the real issues at hand. Its absolutely imperative in my view, that we all unite as one Rovers Family, just as it always used to be. WE ARE The Rovers!!!

Aye and you’d know...you’ve been fannying around like a eunuch for the best part of 10 years. Unlike Johnny come Lately posh lads. Jump of the pot mate!

Don’t forget to rescan, share and sign lads and lasses. This is a great initiative from Rev, CLB and Den and warrants maximum support from every single Rover!

Hey rigger, bugger off....that’s my line!🤣

Get yer bloody grammar right man.......did they teach you feck all at Billinge, John Rigby or Blackburn House? 😉 It should be TOO much: tha' missed an O out lad! 🤣💙💟

Ha, made me laugh out loud too: at the inaccuracy! I presume your tongue was stuck well in your cheek, as if you were sucking a 2 inch diameter gobstopper, when you said that Gav! 😉 It may have been like that in your era: during my school 'holidays', starting as a 13 year old (no 'elf and safety' back then), I loaded 40' flat trailers 'handball', with 1200 cartons of vinyl wallpaper at Belgrave, roped and sheeted the trailers, pulled them off the bay with a Guy Big J4 shunter, with a Gardner 180 engine and David Brown box, shunted another trailer on the bay and started again. Meanwhile my mates were on Knowle Field (Moorland) puncing a ball about and playing cricket....did me no harm though and just sayin'........

Thanks, it's very much appreciated.

You even got my Dad and it’s his 83rd birthday today...you’d have thought he’d have known better!

Gone to the mighty Fleetwood!

Good riddance to bad rubbish!!

Jim Smith fucked things up for 3 of us QEGS lads!....it'd be totally different these days! (quit school and don't do A-Levels!....aye ok Jim!)

Yeh, I know. Centre half Stuart Robson for us was the best player I ever played alongside. He was only 15 then at U18s, played for Arsenal at a young age, destined to be a future England captain and sadly his career was curtailed at a relatively early age through Knee injuries.

55 acres! bit of a fecking difference!

It's forty odd years ago pal: apparently there was an issue with a master at QEGS at the time and prior (Fred Raby I believe) and we were either barred or the decision makers decided we couldn't compete in Blackburn, Lancashire or national competitions. Shame really because WE didn't get the national acclaim that the team really deserved. Not to worry though eh, WE were the best in the country at the time: Undisputed (I've got a clip from The Daily Telegraph which says so if you'd like a copy?) Just to add substance, here's a team sheet from a representative game I played in, in 1979: Recognise any names? The opposition manager was Terry Venables, Ron Greenwood was on the touchline. We battered them, couldn't score more and in the last minute Paul Walsh scabbed an equaliser to make it 2-2.....

As per Andy: "It's The Darwen Boys Making All The Noise, Everywhere WE Go!"....I'll get mi tin hat and coat!

We played against them in the preliminaries in 1978 'Sixes' Tournament which we won incidentally. Our lads unashamedly took the piss out of Roderick, Rupert and the like in the changing room before hand (all being true Lancashire lads). We then ran in to double figures before we declared in the game and played keep ball.

He tripped over his sixth toe whilst careering down a scree in The Lakes! 😉🤣

No way is Ossie a fecking Claret! Yeh, I know him but haven’t spoken to him in over 20 years. I supported ‘Ginge’ following his horrific tumble whilst doing his Gold Duke of Edinburgh’s and shattered his jaw. You’re right re Mark Williams btw (not Mike) I’m still in contact with Phil Hendricks too, ex Stiff, now a Bay City Roller! 🤣 Edit: I’ve just sought a second opinion re Ossie: he was a claret, that makes four of yah!

Share the hell out of it. Nothing precludes somebody setting up an independent petition in support of the letter..... Over to you guys.....

3 of ‘your lot’ at the time were Ewan Pigeon, Mark Wilson and Robbie Walsh..,thing is they were all shit at playing football! Plus ça change! 🤣

Craig first year, Brunnie second: Based on that, you’ll know the rest!

Was it you that chucked the teddy bear at him? 🤣 Was it not either Coventry (in that shitty brown strip) or Villa?

The 'pointy bearded, chinny one' will be spinning in his grave!

Duxbury went to SMC, didn't he?
