They won the League on Pathe News.

Such an effective team. I remember us going up and then taking the Second Division by storm. We played Derby away early that first season back up. I think we drew but Mickey Speight thwacked the crossbar with A free kick and we battered them. Sadly Kendall was too good to not attract the attention of First Division clubs and him going was inevitable.

I was there as a 14 year old and went on the train with my snot nosed mates! Great season, great memories.

That is a bit before my time but I seem to remember Rovers playing in all red at Ewood in a UEFA Cup game.

No matter who the manager is Stoke always seem to be fairly direct and physical, the sort of team Rovers traditionally struggle against. They are rightly regarded as a big club and have a recent Premier League pedigree. They have a good manager and represent the type of opposition that Rovers often trip up against when we're seemingly on the cusp of success. The pessimism is probably due to a combination of those factors.

I know a few Burnley fans. Some are ok, some have got a screw loose. Also worked in Burnley in the 90s. I know we laugh about the place but there is a weird vibe about it. There seems to be a disproportionate amount of Not Rights there.

We have bounced back well of course but I'm an old school Rovers fan and I'm also from Accy so I do obsess about that game! I'll move on and forgive if we beat those ****s at Ewood.

Exactly. What made it worse was Tomasson assuring the fans that he knew how important the game was to us. That CANNOT happen again.

Obviously I understand the infatuation with Tomasson and he's clearly an upgrade on Mowbray but I just can't get past his team selection and the subsequent surrender against b*ly. Unforgivable unless we batter them at Ewood.

Well, I hope they have at least one more performance like that in them because they owe the fans big time after that disgrace at t'Turd.

I get that but last night's performance was out of the ordinary. I absolutely hate to say this but b*ly are consistently comfortably better than us.

I couldn't take another pasting off the Inbreds.

I've just Googled him. He's playing for Sevilla!

Is anyone going to mention Dolan's touch in controlling JRC's sublime crossfield pass?

Whilst accepting the valid points made about Tomasson's achievements under trying circumstances I can't get past the capitulation at b*ly. I can't listen to Tomasson or bear to see his face.

I live overseas but work with a lot of Expats most of whom are Football fans. They're all talking about the game and showing lots of interest. Personally, I can't wait for it to be over, I actually feel sick.

You need help for this weird obsession.

How long before Spurs are reported as "lining up a swoop"?

I love a horrible scrappy home win, they are the stuff of successful seasons. The Yahoos have had 2 in a week and they've got Rotherham at t'Turd on Wednesday. Anyone that finishes above them goes up for me but I fancy we'll get our first draw of the season in the Land That Time Forgot.

Looks like it has been noted that we are in the top 2.

Well, it's nice of you to be so concerned but I wouldn't despair too much. I'm sure he'll feel better when he opens his banking app.

If Carlsberg did weekends......

Wouldn't that be the day way back when we announced Gary Croft and Gary Flitcroft to a confused Ewood crowd?

Seems so. Probably not good enough for Super Scouts under 15s though.
