5pts from 3 really tough games - awesome return
Indeed steve. Gotta be happy with that given the teams that we have played inside a week. However we were only saved from a completely embarrassing capitulation by the cross bar in the end. Last 10 mins of matches are still very much work in progress aren't they?

Yes the Rovers must learn how to see a game out . TM needs to teach the team how to manage the last 10 mins . If that penalty had gone in then points lost in the last 10 minutes would have - well don’t even want to add them up .

Off to see Henry Blofeld ( Blowers ) at Darwen Library Theatre and then out for a couple of pints to celebrate . Anyone suggest a decent bar / pub in Darwen for the more mature couple ? Wife’s volunteered to drive :cool:

Up the famous blue and white halves !!!

Yea but it's a fairly young team (in defence) and hopefully they will learn from games like today's. I can live with it provided we win lol, it sure as hell makes for great entertainment

Great I'm jealous of that but tell your wife to be careful of that shit of a one way system. We went to a funeral in Darwen yesterday and my wife finished up in the lashing rain in a bus lane with as red traffic light at the end that never changed. In the end she was obliged to drive through it on red. It's a shit system.

fighting in and out the stadium today...scummy place
Did not see any thank goodness. There were some big lads from Blackburn there today who could look after themselves.

Forgive me, I’ve taken drink.
To start, regardless of that two minutes, something is happening. It may be Kendall, MacKay, Dalglish or Souness.
With a bit more nous, we’d be top.
Today, I felt we controlled a EPL team (cough) and those goals came from anti football, a game from the past. We are playing the future game, no neck ache. Something is happening. If the players keep learning, we will keep winning. Tell a friend, take them away, get them to Ewood. Something is happening.

I didn’t go but the only fighting I heard of was two Rovers fans falling out with each other?
