I wonder how many of those people who bombarded the LET outraged by the club's treatment of Parkes' will let the great man down by not turning up themselves for his testamonial ? Remember folks, this isn't about Shearer, that's just the icing on the cake, this is about giving Tony the send off he deserves !

Genius ! Abolsute Genius ! Cheers Sox (and Scotty)

Hook, Line, Sinker, Rod and copy of angling times I feel

or create a script to run from cron every night which picks up the new graphics from that day and runs convert (free ImageMagick tool). Free simple and quick. Mr Biddy Sir, I like the cut of your jib. The only downside to your plan is that such things normally come down to me, and I'm a bad mix of busy, lazy and forgetful Which reminds me, I have a chat server to finish !

We can flag entire forums so they don't effect your post count, how do the word association people feel about having that thread in a different section, so we can do that ? Alternatively we could make ALL of ICBINF not count towards your post count. As for avatars. We could do that now. The reason we've disabled it (athough it seemed to become re-enabled for a short while) is to stop people having huge avatars or having copyright infringing ones. The same can be said for sigs. The messageboard should be down for a relatively short time, but all the add-ons we've installed or written will need to be re-introudced. The most obvious of these is the news on the front page, then things like chat, gallery, member map etc. Plus TChocky's funky "skin" for the website will need updating so even some options may be missing just because there isn't a button on the skin to get there. So don't be expecting a complete lack of service for too long, but expect it to be some time before everything is fully working (that said, so much is currently broken that you might not notice the difference ).

Whilst my mate reckons Nike will be making next seasons kit, I think it's going to be Asics again. It could be a fake, but I've found a pic on the world wide web.

Humph ! Last year I brought dozens only to watch the majority get deflated and stuffed up peoples jumpers. Was a free chuppa-chups lollypop inflatable so valuable to you that people'd spoil everyone elses fun ? I think a different theme is in order Possibly follow Captain Kayos' lead of last year and go dressed for the beach ? 80s Fun day ? (in a cool, Miami-Vice way, not in the Man-Utd-Use-it-as-a-codeword-for-an-off way). 1995 League-Winning Retro ?

Commenty on 5 live. Web feed is linked off http://www.bbc.co.uk/5live but I don't know if they actually broadcast commentry (or go silent for 90 mins).

Ctrl and T together opens a new tab, it won't automatically open new tabs for every page you visit (well, it can, but you'd be puddled to turn it on). There are quite a few options to control just how tab browsing works, but the default is pretty good.

Somebody has just posted a date of 31st of July to the mailing list. Can anyone confirm this date and confirm is at Ewood or in Belgium ?

Have Birminigham settled their argument with the local police ? I remember not too long ago that the police refused to marshall around the ground because of an unsettled bill for polcing inside the ground.

Steve, As soon as you get a date (which will undoubtedly be before Rovers let us know) let us know (either by posting here or by email admin@brfcs.com) and I'm sure we can organise something.

Must ... resist ... another ... rant ... about ... PAPR.

Sorry Pabby, I didn't realise it was your site. I just got sent the link by a gooner at work. If you want me to remove it (either because you don't think your ISP would like it, or because were sucking your bandwith) just let me know and it'll be gone in a tick (and sorry for not noticing LeChucks link, as they say on slashdot, dupe dupe dupe, the dupe of URL).

A still photo in the express vs this. It's plain to see RVP runs into Todds side BEFORE Todd raises his arm, the arm raise is an obvious reflex action. Only then does to take his eyes off the ball for the first time. From one of the other angles (which sadly I can find a clip of in t'interweb) the look of Todd has as he turn is clearly "What The Fleurk ?". I can't see how the FA can even consider charging him.

Blackburn manager Mark Hughes has spoken out against tirade of criticism from the press after this weekends FA Cup Semi Final. "When I read the papers on the Sunday, I was astounded by the level of criticism, and to have to withstand that is not on," said Hughes. "Some of the comments were quite personal, not only to Andy (Todd), but also to a number of the players and it was disrespectful to the club because even our fans were thrown into the mix.. " Interestingly, the vast majority of news sources omitted the following quote from Hughes, attacking the coverage by southern based press. ..... the whole angle on the game was shaped by one unfortunate incident at the end of 90 minutes. We played the likes of Everton, Liverpool and Manchester United and competed in exactly the same way and there was nothing like this. But we go up against southern-based teams like Chelsea and Arsenal and we cop all the flak going........"

Jim, you're a star, thank you very much.

It's been on the front page for a few hours

That PA news article is all over the net. Sadly it doesn't includes Hughes dig at the London press. Anything in tonights LET anyone ?

I heard some of Hughes comment from the press conference on TalkSport, however it seems that all the big football websites use the PA Newswire and the offending comments have are not included (not surprisingly). The comments were along the line of "We don't get treated like this when we play Everton, Man Utd and Liverpool, only big London clubs like Arsenal and Chelsea. It seems to be only the London based media that respond like this". If anyone can find the actual quote I'd be very very grateful.

The FA have decided to charge Blackburn captain Andy Todd with violent conduct after his collision with Robin van Persie in Saturday's FA Cup Semi Final. Earlier today both Mark Hughes and Colin Todd have spoken out in defence of Todd and many members of the BRFCS.COM discussing the matter here believe the contact was entirely accidental, pointing the look of surprise on Todds face as the contact happens as an indication of the lack of intent. Todd has until 6pm on Wednesday 20 April to respond to the charge and has denied the accusation from the off.

Landmarks in San Feirro. When viewed through the camera (and only through the camera) 50 "landmarks" have a spinning pinky-purpley bubble with a camera on it. Snap a pic with the bubble and you'll have yourself 1 of 50 They are much tougher to find than Graffitti Tags and Horseshoes as you don't just stumble across them (unless you walk round with your camera fixed to your eye like a japanese tourist).

Bugger, that's that idea gone for a burton.
