Am I reading that wrong - or are they offering you over £1,250 to cash out? I'd be taking that!!!

v Blackpool (a) - 2/10/21

Phil Jones was only 17 when we threw him in against Didier Drogba - and he was fantastic. -

Or 'football' as some people call it. -
Someone on here once compared watching Brereton come on the pitch as like watching Paddy McGuiness (or similar) enter the field on Soccer Aid. He really didn't look like a footballer at one point. Still got a lot to work on, but the improvement is incredible. Keep it up BBD!

John Buckley

When was he ever the next big thing? -
There are two things that are definitely not going to happen 😂
-
He had 4 x £500 doubles on - the one with Beardsley first goal and Newcastle to win 3-0 was going to pocket him £52,000.....then Darren Peacock scored 😂
-
He'd "only" actually bet £2000 - so not quite as stressful.

I used to get stick when I was about 17/18 for saying there was no footballer I'd rather watch than Keith Gillespie on his day. He was unplayable when he was in the mood. Used to give full backs an absolutely torrid afternoon. He could just ghost past people. Unfortunately those days were too far and between, I suspect due to off field issues.
-
I'd gladly be saying that every week.

v Hull City (h) 14/9/2021

I'm sure Graeme Souness made him lose about a stone in weight and he was a better player for it. In fact he did: Duff has shed the stone in weight since tough taskmaster Souness took over at Ewood Park a year and he is starting to feel the benefit of his new, trim figure. "I've always been a big eater and found it difficult not to pile on the weight," said Duff on the eve of tomorrow's big televised East Lancashire clash with big derby rivals Burnley.

I seem to remember Damien Duff used to look knackered 25 minutes into a game and he turned out alright. -
I'm far from a fan of Lenihan - but we're better when he's in the team than when he's not. Since being back at this level (2018/19 season onwards): With Lenihan: W 48 (37.5%); D 35 (27.34%); L 45 (35.16%) Without Lenihan: W 6 (21.43%); D 6 (21.43%); L 16 (57.14%) I personally think he's a mistake waiting to happen and has awful distribution - but the stats do show we really struggle when he's unavailable.

BRFC - The Nostalgia Thread
LeftWinger replied to Herbie6590's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Just had a look and 8 of his 35 goals for Rovers were direct free-kicks. I actually think he was very good on set pieces in the earlier years, but these got worse over the years. He scored 3 direct free-kicks in 06/07 - followed by 4 in total over the next 6 seasons. I reckon he was at his peak between about 2005 and 2008 for us. -
Summer transfer window 2021.

Bet he's looking forward to playing on the wing. -
I guarantee 90% of those that do less for that sort of money are in football though.

Shearer was one of the best crossers of the ball I've seen at Rovers.

Our most awful kits
LeftWinger replied to IrelandsRover's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
I remember having this one as a kid - which I thought was great - but I know a lot of other people thought it was awful. I still like it! -
Yes. Sutton, Gallacher and Davies were all injured - so we had Wilcox upfront. https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/olympique-lyon_blackburn-rovers/index/spielbericht/2266711

I'd not be surprised to see him play for England. Realistically, there aren't that many ahead of him. Kane, Calvert-Lewin, Watkins, Bamford, Ings, Wilson, Greenwood, Rashford off the top of my head. Not exactly over-flowing with options these days.

I've just had a look on a Lincoln forum myself. Some of the comments on there show how far we've fallen.... "If Tayo does go, and I hope he doesn’t, I would want him to do better than Blackburn" "Very sad to see Tayo leave if this is the case, and I’m surprised he’ll want to go up to the NW rather than Luton tbh" And my favourite.... "As far as I’m aware, Blackburn are a well run club these days so think it would be a good move for him"

Skybet is 16/1 -

LeftWinger replied to chaddyrovers's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
16/1 is a very good price with the squad as it is and the manager we've got. Especially when you consider our form since the start of February and the fact our squad is weaker this season.
