But it sure makes misery easier to live with.

One down already, is Hughton in the stands by any chance.

Took me a few years to get used to things.

Funny you say that Jim Thatcher was.one reason for me leaving. No can do, love it here. Such a magnificent country, if you out aside the social problems. Jump on the bike and go and there is wonder all around.

Bad thing is, if we get a result he (TM) will use it as reasoning to re-instate the sideways backwards duo.

I was taken by a neighbour to me 1st game at 6 and was hooked. Could have gone either way our other neighbojr was a Dingle and I remember them arguing as to who I should go with. Thankfully I was an impatient kid and Rovers game was sooner. I was hooked. Funny thing neighbour never took me.agsin she said I ruined her day by being all over the place. Parents would not let me go cos of hooliganism so I had to wait till 12 and my 1st paper round to earn the dosh to get all the way to the other side of Blackburn from near the Crown Ground. Never looked back. Couple of years made do with Stanley. We played Bury I think my 1st game won 3-1 if I recall. Loved it but I could be wrong. Who knew 55 years later I would be half a world away following my lads electronically. Of course our most successful time was when I had no news at all about rovers. I only knew we won the league cis I bumped into an English fella in a bar. Thank the lord for t'internet. ROVERS TILL I DIE.

As if Mowbary is going to play a winger on the wing.

Good post.

Wow, a reasonably balanced Both Ends fan,.who'd a thunk.

Kick up the arse? Charlie is off to play football somewhere else where he will still be paid handsomely. Same would apply to all our other players, do they really give a toss? I'm betting not, some may be worried about a pay cut but that would be about it.

Spot on with the money part Rev. Sigh, if only our owners actually understood footy.

Absolutely not Merc, rank bad management, rank bad vision, rank bad motivation. What must these pro's be thinking. Clearly they can see as well as us that Mowbary is picking lesser quality players ahead of them. It has to infuriate and or demotivate. Question remains why. By all accounts BB had an encouraging pre season, then when chasing the game he brings on Buckley. Had he brought on BB and he scored can you imagine the boost the lad would have got. Course he may not have scored but at least he is not wondering wtf he has to do to get a kick. Really swinging to the Mowbary out group now.

Would love Skrtl here. Prone to the odd blunder but damn good defender.

More info please, pm if need be. My lips are sealed.

Yet he keeps picking Bennett leaving a better defender with real pace on the bench. WTF.

Unless something remarkable happens in the January window, I know I know, I think mid table would be over achieving.

You forgot one thing, most importantly, a top notch manager who knows what he is doing.

Spot effin on.

Right you are.Merc, will take them till March or so to bed in and displace the incumbents when TM will slot Cunningham in as a right winger.

Been looking for a suitable rope, I have me tree picked out.

Pissed at Mowbary. This past summer.I watched.girls defend with bigger balls than we have.

I pray for you.to be right on that, would be outstanding.

So his first.game he'll start at right back then. Or, knowing Tony, left back.

Kindon's wife is on the game again.

A day I will never forget, the parts I can remember anyway. Best away day ever. If only we had not missed that pen to make it 4-0. Talk about a gut wrenching end to a game, seemed like a lifetime.
