Found this video, hope the link works. Look at the second one from Fred here, cracking. https://m.facebook.com/watch/?v=1015427808845440&_rdr

I cannot tell a lie sir

Ormerod was a youth team player wasn't he? Paddy I think was a Darwen lad, I think we can allow that

I was idly thinking to myself the other day, what players have turned out for rovers who were hometown lads. I'm more interested in players from yesteryear, rather than the modern era. All I could think of was Bob crompton Bryan Douglas Harry healless Fred pickering Any more?

Well it's turned out grand so far. Good effort, lads

No, I'm comparing it to the rovers of babylon.

If your local Tesco's was looking somewhat dilapidated, would you volunteer to give it a bit of a clean-up? "Here's the money for my weekly shop, and here's another tenner for a mop and bucket, lovely"

It shouldn't need the fans on their own time and money making an effort in order to save the face of people who get paid a lot of money to run the club and instead are content to be sat idle. I would say that the fans doing the maintenance of Ewood would put the management to shame, but they don't appear to get shame as a concept.

Quite possibly he'll do nowt at Ipswich with a big budget

I've got the sedan chair ready

He made me want to break things. He's pure poison. The shit - eating grin and the outright lies... Even Boris Johnson would shy away from the whoppers he told.

Dailly didn't even have the look of a centre half

Explains a lot, mind you I don't think he would've played any better had he been sober.

He was in tears as he drove away, yes

Out of all the managers we've had in the past, if I could swap one for Mowbray, I'd take souness all day long. Or kendall

And I still like Roy. I mean, I can't understand why he would put Harry kane on corners, and getting Darren peacock was baffling. But no one is perfect I guess. And if take him all day long over Mowbray. https://www.planetfootball.com/in-depth/fun-cocky-real-character-roy-hodgson-nothing-like-think/

Thought this was a great article https://90sfootballparty.wordpress.com/2016/08/02/home-too-soon-hodgson-at-blackburn/

Tony Parkes on a power trip? Struggling to see that one

On her majesty's secret service. We have all the time, in the world.

I'd you get up in the morning and give everything your best shot with the best you know how, how can anyone ask for more? How these guys we've got now can look themselves in the bathroom mirror, I just don't know. Stealing a bloody living. Whatever happened to having a bit of pride

Sharp eyes you've got 🤣 ⌚ That would be the same watch George wore in the Christmas bond movie

Someone posted this on the forum a few years back. The sending off is absolutely insane. Shocking. But look how animated Roy gets. You can criticise him for how it all ended, but he really did care. Contrast that to Mowbray, we get a record home defeat and the wanker just shrugs his shoulders

Anyway the point is, in Roy's first season, if we'd had a second half of the season like the first half, we may well have won the title. And a lot of that in the first half was due to superior fitness. Ferguson admitted we'd given mean united a "doing " in one game. I think when things unravelled , Roy panicked and tried to spend his way out of trouble. I think we had a shocking injury list at one stage. Keith had a shocker in our relegation season, but played much better under souey. Brian was a decent man, but unfortunately bought players like harkness . Sounds was the right man at the right time. He bought much better. I seem to remember that friedel we got on a free.

Craig Short was signed by kidd I think. I always thought perez was a great player but he didn't settle.

Been a while since I saw the word periodisation. I remember when Roy Hodgson was manager here. We started the season like a house on fire. It was put down to his regime of training twice a day. We then, in the new year, tailed off badly, and picked up injuries. It was put down to his regime of training twice a day. That was just in one season, maybe we didn't have the work capacity to handle the work, and should've scaled down to one session for the rest of the season, and then go again over the summer. I seem to remember Roy saying that he tried to change too much too soon at rovers. Maybe too fixed in his ways from the continent. In a way it's very surprising that footballers fitness could be sub-par, given the amount of money in football. In Germany they talk about teams having power, I asked a German mate what they meant, and he said to roll over the opposition like a tank. That's what fitness does for you. During lockdown they did a five k competition, and one of their lads did 15 minutes something, not too shabby.
