  1. Rovers reserves continued their unbeaten start to the season with a 2 - 2 draw away to Middlesbrough tonight. Rovers scorers Douglas, (pen) and a Jansen header.
  2. Hang on The NI manager now at Stockport. McIlroy
  3. Heck Brownie, they usually get the sack dont they.
  4. The Celts were not just one race or ethnic group. They were a group of tribes that had similar languages, cultures and religions. But, the Celtic influence has almost completely disappeared today except in places such as Wales, Brittany, Ireland and the Scottish Highlands.
  5. There's a difference between dithering and doing the honourable thing. Hughes, is typical of the celtic race of being patriotic, and would not have been prepared to just walk out without going through the correct procedures. Dont condemn someone for thinking first about the repercussions of his actions.
  6. The last few days must have been difficult for Wales manager Mark Hughes, who on one hand wants to lead his country to World Cup Qualification and on the other wants to full fill his dream of managing a premiership team. Only yesterday Hughes stated "I'm a Welshman who's as proud today of being national team manager as I was on the day I was appointed.” But the lure of premiership management appears to be gaining momentum as this afternoon Hughes’s agent Dennis Roach stated. "Mark has a contract with Wales which he totally respects."However, it has always been his ambition to manage in the Premiership if the right job at the right club came along, and there is a clause in his contract which allows for that to happen. "Mark had two great years at Ewood Park as a player so Blackburn is a club which is close to his heart, and therefore this is the kind of job that would interest him. "The people at Blackburn would have to go through the right channels with the Welsh Football Association but if they wanted to talk to Mark then he would be very interested to listen." Now I wouldn’t go so far as to suggest that this site had inside information, however just two days after the shock departure of Graeme Souness, a news editorial on this site reported “If the betting odds are to be believed, then former Rovers striker and current Wales manager Mark Hughes is favourite to take over from Souness,” and the editorial went on to suggest “The major stumbling block in Hughes's appointment is his patriotism and commitment to gaining World Cup qualification for Wales, who play Northern Ireland tonight and then face England and Poland next month. This could reflect on John William's comment that he wont be rushed into anything, bearing in mind that after the 13th October, Wales and Hughes will have a five-month break, before the next WC qualifying game. A period in which he would be able to bed himself in to the Ewood hot seat” At the present time there is uncertainty on whether Rovers have already been in contact with the Welsh FA, in order to make a formal approach for their manager. What is now certain Hughes is now awaiting the call from Rovers, and maybe Rovers will dangle the carrot to allow Hughes to continue his national duties on a part time basis until after Wales’s World Cup qualifying games against Poland and England.
  7. Blackburn will play host to the England U21s v Wales U21s, when they play their European Under-21 Championship qualifier on Friday 08 October at Ewood Park.
  8. Lucas Neill and Brett Emerton have been named in the Australian squad for their Confederations Cup qualifiers against The Solomon Islands in Honiara on Saturday 9th October and then in Sydney on the 12th October.
  9. bbc rovers close in on new boss Mark Hughes and Iain Dowie are the leading contenders for the Blackburn managerial post, BBC Sport understands

  12. And another 1000 page debate starts on who should be the manager.
  13. No way Megson, he has an ego complex, and has fallen out with nearly every one at west brom.
  14. Conflicting stories from the mirror. HUGHES I WONT GO MARK ON THE BRINK
  15. Please provide a link to your source. Hughes hasnt ruled himself out, what was reported and it can be found further back in this topic is that Hughes doesnt want to quit the Wales job at the present time, whilst there is still a chance that they can qualify for the world cup.
