Who's his agent?

I hope not for his sake!

Excellent work DE. If I may... Dixon Etuhu Rovers pulled out the stops for Etuhu in August 2012. Signing him on a monster 4 year contract from Fulham. The fee, as is often the case, was undisclosed. This is probably a good idea as at least one, if not both parties may struggle to keep a straight face during the press conference. Etuhu managed 23 games in two years, including one of the worst performances I have ever seen from a Rovers player away at Blackpool. Unfortunately things didn't work out and Rovers had to pay up his contract in July 2014 in order to increase the debt and get another no hoper in. Danny Murphy Despite having had a leg off whilst at Fulham, Rovers saw fit to hand a no doubt lucrative thank you very much two year contract to Murphy in June 2012. Murphy astonishingly, according to Wiki, played 33 times that season including one of the worst performances I have ever seen from a Rovers player at home to then bottom of the table Peterborough (Rovers were 3-0 down at half time, when he was subbed. Rovers won the second half 2-0 so took the positives and moved on). Unfortunately for everyone concerned this inability to move and tackle really did turn out to be a problem and Rovers had no option but to pay up the remaining year on Murphy's contract in June 2013. This really was a bad bit of luck. Murphy is now a "top football pundit" on the tele and radio, he talks of passion and desire without even a suspicion of irony. Bradley Orr Rovers were lucky and shrewd enough to be able to sign Bradley Orr in January 2012 on a 3.5 year contract. Orr wasn't getting a game at QPR at the time so it was important that Rovers offered such a long term contract to him along with big wages just in case we were relegated and in order to get Orr through the door (the Orr door). Orr wasn't very good. He thought Steve Kean was doing a good job and said so post match just after Rovers were relegated. It all continued to go sour and Orr was sent on loan to Ipswich, Blackpool and Toronto. Canny Rovers decided they couldn't wait any longer for another club to come in with a big money move for Bradley so paid up his contract in March 2015 after Orr had made 31 appearances for the club - including, if I may, one of the worst performances I have ever seen from a Rovers player at home to then bottom of the table Peterborough (Rovers were 3-0 down at half time, before he was subbed). Having scrimped and saved over the previous couple of years, Bradley promptly retired from football. "That Midfielder" That midfielder who no one can remember his name, has been bought circa 17 times over the last 6 years, generally for two much money and certainly for too much in wages. Although exact numbers aren't available due to the similarity and utter blandness of this type of player. An example of "just another body making up the numbers" would be Liam Feeney. Feeney joined Rovers in 2014 on loan and according to the internet played 6 times, scoring zero goals. Unfortunately no one can remember anything about these performances such was the brain numbing mediocrity on show, which in all fairness wasn't all his fault. Feeney duly left Rovers at some stage or other and has never been seen again.

Well more fool them mate, got to rise above all that. Let's hope you have that problem soon. As a good man occasionally says on here "WE are the Rovers". And Nothing Else Matters.

You know mate, we come on here, day in day out. It's a right habit. We love our club. I was in the verge of packing it in recently, not going, but coming on here. So I took a step back for a couple of weeks. Crap like "if you're not part of the solution you're part of the problem" from a bloke who's "boycotting" yet lives in Hampshire and wouldn't know where The Albion used to be if he was stood outside it makes me feel embarrassed to be part of this community. We're all hurting. Fans are taking what they believe is the best course of action. I'm still going, your not. I reckon it's hurting you like hell, I have upmost respect for you and the decision you've made, I really have. I don't believe it'll make the slightest difference. I'm not trying to be disparaging in any way whatsoever. As has been pointed out, people will do what they think is morally correct. But when we pick up £1.25m from the Rochina sell alone and that covers the missing fans losses. Well, I can't and don't believe it'll make a difference. I long for the day when this is over, when we can start again. The silence, the lack of a plan, the lack of a long term strategy or even a suspicion of a desire to return to the Premier League (and surely the easiest, most pragmatic, way of recouping "their" losses) says it all. I don't believe we matter. I don't believe the financial losses hurt them. I don't think they would give two hoots if there was 30,000 on or 57 people and a dog. It's just another company they own. The other 50 odd they run have it covered. "What? Spend more money on that football thing? After the snowball? I don't think so. Just minimise the losses for a few years please. Appoint an accountant or something. Put some lip stick on it, make it look good and we'll have a think about selling it for £150 million. Is that too much? Come back and tell me about it at the end of January just before that transfer window thing starts. Next..."

Looks well though doesn't it? Shop window job perhaps? Just thinking about Kamys post from earlier today. I know, It's the hope etc

Here you go MCMCetc...

Not even nearly the best band to come from L.A. ! As for Ozzy being God, I think you'll find that's Lemmy. As for The Roses, I kind of didn't want to go. Saw them twice, first time at Preston Guild Hall Foyer. Unbelievable. An epithany. I was into all manner of Metal until that point, including Motley Crue and Bon Jovi. If all changed after that. 5 foot from Squire in a small venue. I knew none of the songs before hand. I am the Resurrection, the very essence of everything that's brilliant about music. The next time was at the famous Empress Ballroom gig, the one that became a video. Again what a night, more of an event than a gig, with people going mad to the likes of Sympathy for the Devil long before the band came on. Era defining stuff. And I haven't seen them since! On purpose. Beautiful Thing is great. So it's New Order 2 weeks tomorrow at Castlefield Bowl. Which'll be great. James playing Out to Get You on BBC4 from Glastonbury as I type. What a great song. Not heard it in years!

Yep, made up with this. Proper centre forward.

And tears are always clouding your thighs

Blimey, you're not wrong. I wouldn't mind but I was there! The longest 2nd half ever. They had a clock at the other end of the ground and I swear it was going backwards at one point. I remember Garns scored but not them!

3-4 on aggregate that one. Bloody Dave Clark.

I might be completely wrong here but I don't think away goals have ever counted in the play offs. Anyone?

Feckin punks. Good work.

Not the start to the over we were looking for... Bloody hell

This. Well said.

Well blimey! That was great! Superb. From a betting angle it all came together on that one. Not big bucks but never the less... Kane to score anytime. Germany to win - cashed out at 2 1. And immediately had a quid on England to draw... And then cashed out again to back England to win! 1.30 paid 7 quid + on that. Next week I'll tell you all about my losses...

Starts on the bench.

I wouldn't doubt that for a minute. I just found it a little strange that a 60 year old Lemmy would go in a mosh pit! Maybe he did!

I find that very difficult to believe by the way, but there you go! I'm going to miss Motorhead massively. Lemmy was a one off. An intelligent punk hippy hooligan - a down right good bloke who played fantastic rock n roll. Cause it was. Just heavier. Most of all I'm going to miss the shear volume and majesty of the gigs. Nothing has ever come close. There's a massive hole there now unfortunately. Although I do of course appreciate other music I should add, but alongside the Charlatans and New Order they were the band that has sound tracked my life the longest - or in Motorhead's case - the longest.

Damn. RIP Lem.

Yep. Saturday: Midnight Sunday: 22:15

Going on the Sunday. Love the new album by the way. Mate of mine went to Liverpool, said it was a really varied set. I've seen the set list. It's new order! Then A couple of JD songs and potentially blue Monday at the end. They were playing Lonesome Tonight the other week!

Well... According to t'web they've played KGH 7 times. I've guessed some of the albums. 1976 and 77 - these were very early gigs, Motorhead the album no doubt then or songs that would be up on it (came out in 77) 1978 and 1979 - Bomber and Overkill came out in 79 1980 - this was the Ace Up Your Sleeve Tour - your right ODB. 1984 - No Remorse Tour. Support was from Persian Risk. I've still got a 6 foot tour poster somewhere. The loudest show I've ever been to. Possibly cause I've been slightly deaf ever since. First time I saw them. 2010 - Almost certainly the last time they'll play Blackburn. The World is Yours tour. Support was from Michael Monroe. So they didn't play KGH in 82 apparently. That would have been the Iron Fist Tour by the way. Right someone help me get this anorak off.

Now he could play a bit. A real character too, daft as a brush. Check out Overkill from No Sleep Til Hammersmith. Nothing ever sounds the same again. RIP Philthy Animal Taylor.
