  1. The bloke can not be trusted, as Jack Walker found out.
  2. Why blame Souness, it's Emertons fault according to the Pringle lad.
  3. Eddie, how can it be free. It's on Sky, which is a subscription digital service.
  4. I'd hazard a guess it was 18 year old Andy Taylor who signed pro at the end of last season. Left sided prospect who was outstaning at left back when I watched him last season in the youth team.
  5. What's interesting about this topic, is, that the choice of players reflects on the age of the poster.
  6. Welcome back Rosie, didnt realise you could have maternity leave from the message board. If there had been tinternet 20 something years ago, I'd have applied for paternity leave.
  7. Ah Metcalfe, those dazzling runs, side ways, backwards he'd often beat himself going forward maybe thats where Dunny learnt to showboat. Have to agree about Mckenzie, see my post page 1. One of the best ball players to wear the blue and white in my life time.
  8. Not that I'd call him one of my heros but a Rovers player whose name has been chanted far and wide even at cricket. Not because of his footballing abilities more the lack of ability of hitting the target. Oxford Dictionary. BEAMOOOOOOOO ...to do a beamo......MISS BY A MILE
  9. Down the years Rovers have had star players, a lot of them going on to be internationals which could form a role of honour, able to step in to any premier league team, but to me the cult heros are those that when the ball got near to them you expected something special, the ones that had you antisipating something special from. Glen Keeley, not the most gifted of players but oh the gasps of anguish when he went in for the ball. He got the ball 9 times out of ten, And 5 times out of 10 he also got the man. Yet I wouldnt have called him a dirty player, he was just a no frills player, determined to give his all, if not always controlled. Those chants at every corner when he charged up the field like some rampant rhino. Keeley Keeeley He never took any prisoners and the saying was that the club fed him raw meat before each game. Duncan Mckensie(spell check) One of the most gifted and athletic players in my years of watching Rovers. Always expected the unexpexted from him. on his day he was magic and could create things from nothing, unfortunately he could also go missing for whole games. I think his biggest weakness being he enjoyed playing football and wanted to entertain forgetting that there were another 10 team mates on the field. Noel BrotherstonOld fashioned winger, crazy hair style who used to get to the bye line and whip the ball into the middle. Always exciting when he was on a run with his dribbling inside the full back, whether he would have had the same impact at a higher level we will never know.

    Pre-season Warm Up

    Rovers returned from their Germany tour, with a 100 per cent record, when they beat Bohemians Prague 1-0, on Friday night. The only down side to the tour being that Brad Friedel limped out of Fridays game with a thigh injury and could now struggle to be fit for the opening game of the season against West Brom. Rovers continue their preparation for the season, this week with friendlies away at Stockport on Wednesday 28th July, Preston on Saturday 31st July and then a game at Ewood against Sporting Lisbon a week on Wednesday, 4th August, before their final warm up game to the season with a weekend trip to Dublin and a game against Bray Wanderers on Saturday 7th August.
  11. The mod from Hereford would have locked it before now. Ooops it's catching. Unlike Cole, this topic is going no where. Locked before Bob Flemming and Sox start lowering the tone
  12. Rovers won the Reutlingen Tournament this evening after a tense 4-3 penalty shoot out to determine their game against SSV Ulm, which had ended 0-0. In their first match of the evening Rovers won 2-0 against SSV Reutlingen, both goals being scored by Paul Gallagher. Rovers go through to the Final which is played Friday night against the winners of a similar Tournament, involving, Bohemians Prague, FC Erzgebirge Aue, SpVgg Weiden and David Dunn's Birmingham City.
  13. Its ok den I send the Mrs round to check on the way to the offie
  14. Game delayed further as the SSV Reutlingen v FC Luzern match ended 1-1 and is currently in the middle of a penalty shootout.
  15. YES MODI, on a wet afternoon which nearly resulted in ndouble pneumonia
  16. Any idea what time the Rovers kick off their second game.
