Hmm. What was Sir Jacks motto? Oh and a 31,367 capacity stadium isn’t big in terms of today’s stadia but we’ve got it thanks to him and I’m bloody grateful and proud of it. I still get goosebumps walking up to it on a match day, particularly on a cold wet winter night when the floodlights are beaming. Whether we need that many seats at this moment in time is irrelevant so I’m with philip on this one.

What a great post and in my opinion absolutely spot on. Now that we have a plethora of midfielders one would think Tony could now find the perfect combination.

Okay so we have signed the football equivalent of the anti christ according to Sunderland fans. Personally I think that their views are biased and let’s face it, if he was crap then they wouldn’t have signed him in the first place. On record are his performances on the pitch as a youngster which prompted Man City to sign him, albeit he didn’t get much of a chance there, 25 appearances in two seasons was it? If I was a footballer who had been signed by a club for ten million quid and for whatever reason made to feel completely unwanted then I think I would be getting a bit depressed myself so maybe this had some bearing on events, I don’t know? Regardless he’s here now, he doesn’t have to keep playing football and could quite clearly retire a wealthy man. Whilst he wears the famous halves he should be given a fresh start and see how it goes. For fans of his ex club who quite clearly don’t like him to sign on here to tell us how crap he is and should be avoided strikes me as being a little bit too bitter IN MY VIEW. If this signing on a short term contract works then Tony will have performed a major coup and if it doesn’t and he starts to act like a total idiot then we bin him, end of story. Anyway could be worse, we could have signed Joey Barton if he was still playing of course. In Tony we trust COYB

Am I correct in thinking we have only suffered three defeats in the last FORTY competitive matches or something like that? It's a good habit is winning games.

And....... The 28-year-old has been included in Michael O'Neill's squad for the clashes against Bosnia & Herzegovina and then Israel. Both games will be played in Belfast, with Bosnia visiting the Northern Ireland capital on Saturday 8th September prior to Israel's trip to the capital three days later. A regular for O’Neill’s side, Evans will be hoping to earn his 48th and 49th caps for his country over that week. The midfielder has had an excellent start to the campaign for Rovers, playing in every minute of every league game so far and weighing in with a number of impressive displays in the middle of the park.

Oh you mean the injuries he had which mysteriously cleared up when he played for Northern Ireland? Dont get me wrong, I’m not bashing him but if he gets a new contract (which I think he should) then it should be a short term one.

I’m sure Evans has only upped his game lately to get a new contract.

They actually double up as tanning lamps. This has two benefits, one to keep the players tans up into autumn so they do look good on social media and two, to help to attract South American players to Ewood as the lamps brighten the place up a bit and make it look a bit less gloomy up north. Another idea could be to remotely flash them like a strobe light to put off opposing attackers or even when they are about to take a penalty? I think we’re onto something here you know ?

No problem pal, you keep scouting the web for info.

Oh you mean the post that so far has five like comments and four thank you’s? I suspect you antagonise more folk than a comment from a foreign fan whose first language is probably not English.

What a great thread this is, many thanks to all who contribute.

I just have to keep replaying that just for the crowd reaction behind the goal. It was just like how the Blackburn End used to be like on the terraces.

Trust Tony, he is building project to challenge promotion, may not be this seasons, but next may be? Doesn’t antagonise me pal, you’re English is pretty good. You carry on saying what you like it’s your right. It’s great to have fans abroad and who wish to post on this board.
