Rovers In The Papers & Media

That's what you call "Car Park Full".
I think I can see Al stood at the front too

That car parks closed now for some reason.

 

[ABBEY]

which of them geezers is benajim

 

[Drog]

He'd be on one of that line of Corporation buses that parked near the ground and ferried all the 'flat caps and clogs' from the local Working Mans Club to the match.

 

[Wilpshire Blue]

... or he'd sneakily park his car up nearby then join the 'flat caps and clogs' line and shout obscenities at those coming from the car park.

 

[OnlyOneTugay]

...... yeah and then leave the game early so he could beat the traffic to get back to the Ribble Valley . Although I guess in those days the leftie virtue signallers had no reason to live outside the confines of Blackburn and scuttle back to the leafy suburbs .

Rovers Ladies kick off at 2pm today in the Championship play off final v Charlton at Bramhall Lane.
Good luck to them, hopefully they can emulate the first team and U23s in getting promoted

Ladies took an early lead but went in 1-2 at half time.
They hit the woodwork in the second half and saved a Charlton penalty but there were no more goals, so the ladies miss out

Good effort, sounds like.

I hope he can to the present day standard.

I fear that unless he gets moved forward he will be eaten alive defensively in a higher league
I can only see him as an asset in midfield

I have similar thoughts however I do think he'll be OK with Lenihan and Bell alongside. No idea who we'll have at RB mind but we do need to improve there that's for sure.

Corrupt FA strikes again.

Rovers Ladies finished top of the Northern division and lost in the play-offs. They also won three trophies.
Leicester finished second to Rovers.
Man Utd didn't even have a team.
End result = Leicester and Man Utd's newly-formed team are both allowed into the new Ladies Championship and Rovers have been rejected

[Drog]

Completely wrong that isn't it? Against all the ethics of sport. Citius, Altius Fortius obviously counts for nothing at the FA HQ. Has there been no protestations by Kate Hollern? How about Bob Coar too? Both should have had some influence on this matter.

 

[ABBEY]

They've all sat and fiddled whilst rovers burn . They sure has hell don't give a feck about our ladies team

 

[Vinjay]

I don't care that much about the women's team either but on principle stuff like this matters. It's a disgrace that the club are just gonna let United trample all over what's been earned. What next the PL2 (Division 2 or whatever it is) win being rescinded and United keeping their PL (Division 1?) place?

It's tiring having to fight fires all the time without any assisted help.

 

[yoda]

Should we give the Rovers young un's their own thread

Good news unless the Premiership predators swoop in to steal all the best lads.

 

[Wilpshire Blue]

I’m not sure whether keeping posting all these memorable clips makes me proud or pissed off.
Anyway, here’s another that seems like yesterday but isn’t
