Wanderers v Hillbilly Banjo players

[Gary the Enfield]

What? Who?

Holy Sh*t!

[ohjimmyjimmy]

hahhh, what the fook is football coming to?

[ohjimmyjimmy]

Fat Sam, sacked.

[as]

Big Sam has left the building.

Here's hoping those Indian owners are behind it, trying to influence who plays and the tactics, a la Roman.

I would LOVE IT if they treated Jackburn as their little plaything, and then left the club in turmoil

And, if you're reading this Jackburn fans, can you pleeeeeease stop telling the rest of the country how amazing your support 'for a town the size of ours', as you've had the Ribble Valley glory-hunters backing you since uncle Jack came along.

WHHHIIIITTTEEEEEE AAAAAAAARRRRRRRRMMMMYYYYYYY

Please let Megson get the job.

[Worthy4England]

He's doing a cracking job at Blackburn, mind, having taken them over and spent barely anything to drag them up into the top half of the Premier League within a couple of years.

Have a read of this article - bear in mind that the writer is shit - http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/philmcnulty/ ... _he_d.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

He is doing well at Blackburn. Though a lot of their fans aren't exactly thrilled with him.

And there is potentially trouble brewing for him on the horizon there.

There's been trouble brewing on the horizon with them since Allardyce was appointed. I'm sure if you keep saying it, that eventually it might come true.

And then you'll be able to say "Told you"..

75 matches at 1.32 ppg, isn't too shoddy, on bugger all transfer budget.

Obviously my info is pretty inaccurate!

Is that a bit like saying "told you?"

[officer_dibble]

Allardyce has now had two last games at the Reebok!!

[plymouth wanderer]

hope coyle's not gonna go there

[KeeeeeeeBaaaaaaab]

We'll only find out when a cleaner from Blackburn comes on, asking for Coyle's agent's contact details....

[Armchair Wanderer]

Blackburn and Sheff United are looking for a new manager, probably West Ham soon, plenty of places for Meggo to pop up in

[plymouth wanderer]

[William the White]

I - with reservations - loved what Sam did for our club... I - with reservations - hated what Megson did...

I wish both success with no problems... hope they do well on every occasion that doesn't involve us...

Grudges weigh too heavy, I can't be arsed picking them up, that is if they don't come in red from twelve miles south or are named 'Everton'...

Couple of points. No way was Holden's foot high. He pulled out of it, and the rule has fook all to do with high foot anyway. It is 'playing in a dangerous manner', not 'Michel Salgado being a poncey girl and assuming their will be some play of a dangerous manner', which is what Clattenburg gave it for.

I'm still perplexed as to how the fook jumping for a header is a booking. You have to jump with your arms, that is how the centre halves and forward sof both teams jumped all game. I can see a foul since he didn't win the header but no way a booking. I actually think he got both key decisions regarding Knight spot on. The first one, Cahill was actually very sharp and instead of trying to help Knight tackle Roberts could see the lanky bugger was going to foul him and so ran straight back into an obviously 'covering' position. Also Jason Roberts? It's never a clear goal scoring oppurtunity! The Knight handball, no matter how often MOTD hacks talk about having his 'arm raised' the rules state 'deliberate' handball and the guidelines state the referee must consider movement of the hand towards the ball, of which there was none, not ball to hand, distance ie unexpected ball, in this case two yards and Zat Knight's eyes closed. THe guidelines even explicitly state 'The position of the hand does not necessarily mean there has been an infringement', ie Knight should not be penalised for being a lanky bastard. However if I was a Dingle I'd be absolutely livid at the Olssen one they didn't get. Holden clearly grabs his arm, and yes he went down easily, but there was a definite foul.

As for SKD. Anonymous first half, poor first 15 second, brilliant last half hour. Some folk seem to think that not suffering for going down to ten men was just about 'spirit'. Like they didn't give a shit before. They went for it, and SKD, for about the 78th time in his Bolton career did the work of two men. Three if you count Jussi.

Fair play, I ain't seen a replay but gut reaction in real time was it was a fair decision.

[TKIZ!]

Agree with Pru. Good summarisation, chief

[thebish]

someone mentioned it b4 - but have just watched the MOTD highlights - and - Robinson completely misses the heap of players on the floor diving right over the top!! the BBC highlights didn't show his landing - just him disappearing through the air screen left!! did the sky cameras show him land?

I was sat on the halfway line and Mark Davies seemed to "follow through" with his head, or maybe it was an elbow. The guy seemed to make a meal of it considering he was fine afterwards but from where I was sat I couldn't argue too much about the 2nd yellow. On the whole I thought Clattenburg did ok. Not seen highlights yet either though.

Big Sam took Jones and Diouf off before they got themselves sent off... Mavies had been putting himself about a bit all game, once he got a yellow it was only a matter of time.
