You may have the advantage over me here JR being a JCL and all that – but can you refresh my memory of when they beat us 5 – 3 in the cup or was it in the 60s or 70s
I remember us beating them 5-3 in the league but Roy H wasnt their manager as I recall
Anyway Roy for manager of the year for me
Blackburn beat us 5-3 in the cup (or was it 4-2?) in the cup when John Deehan was manager in 1998. Its the game where Deehan pulled his tactical master strokes of dropping his top scorer (David Lowe), changing his formation to 4-5-1, switching David Lee to the left wing & Jorg Smeets to the right (we have another manager who favours that too!!) & dropping our left back for the season up till then (Kevin Sharp) in favour of someone who hadn’t played in donkey’s (Steve Morgan).
Went 4-0 down before he reverted back to the team & formation he’d used all season & we pulled 2 goals back & had a blatant penalty turned down (for which the Blackburn player should have been sent off).
John Deehan described his initial tactical masterplan as a success coz Blackburn hadn’t “scored from any corners”!!!!Come to think of it, compared to John Deehan, our Bobby is a footballing genius!!! ;) [/quote]
How do you remember all that? Did you take notes?I was at the game and the only thing I remember was Colin Hendry letting Graeme Jones win everything in the air. The reason why has now become obvious, so thanks for that.[/quote]
I went to that game with my Dad..and do not remember it anywhere near as clearly as that!! :shock:
“How do you remember all that? Did you take notes?”
Coz thanks to an old friend of mine getting absolutely rat @r$ed the night before celebrating Celtic beating Rangers & spending all morning chucking his ring up I didn’t get to Blackburn anywhere near as early as I wanted to & only managed a couple of scoops in the pub beforehand
Think it also sticks in my mind coz I’d never really taken to Deehan & that game just confirmed what an idiot he was.
Some games I can remember everything from whilst I’ve left others not even aware of the correct scoreline!!

I didn’t even have one drink as I was with my dad (and WELL underage I think) and I still can’t remember much!
Well done Fulham but hate their manager with a vengance.
Will never forgive him for the after match comments made bout little wigan when Blackburn beat us 5-3 in cup. He proved himself to be a right vvanker that day, couldn’t even take victory on the chin, horrible, horrible man!!!If he did ever get the England job, god forbid, he would deffo need a personality transplant.
Agree. Personality is much more important than tactical knowledge and a football brain. Keith Chegwin for next England manager!
Isn’t the Fulham team getting on a bit now?
If they lose Hangeland and Dempsey, in addition to the bloke who’s already going to Utd, they could be dragged back into the pack of teams who’s priority is to stay in the Premiership.
Superb effort by Fulham, 19 games and beaten nearly all the favourites along the way, not to mention having 2 of the worst sending off’s ever go against them against Roma.
Hope they go on to win it now and if Hodgson doesnt get Manager of the Year its a disgrace….only downside of them winning it is the Dingles and that idiot Laws being in Europe next season

I’m afraid you are probably in a minority of a very few, JR. Would you say the same about him had he not made those comments about Wigan? Get the chip off your shoulder, matey.[/quote]Probably not, but he did. A very similar situation to me hating anything to do with the chubbies with vengence. Things the fans and that twort lyndsey said all those years ago still stick with me. Call it a chip or even babbies yed un gravy if you want, but there will be examples you have experienced in life and reacted to the same.
You know what I mean Griff, the very same feeling you have for your missuses ex boyfriends, the ones you know poked her, have done you no harm, but the very fact they did poke her means deep down you hate the barstewards.
Roy Hodgson is and will always be that pathetic no mark who belittled the team I love for no reason. He probably also poked my missus before I met her so I hate him even more. ;)
From Matlock to ManU
What a journey!They are a brilliant example of what can be acheived when you think beyond mere survival in the league.They are an absolute credit to the game and have restored my faith in it a little bit.
Im also so glad the scousers didnt get there as they would have commandeered the whole event and we would have had thousands of the b@stards turning up without tickets etc etc and taking the deserved media spotlight away from the club that truly deserves it.the very same feeling you have for your missuses ex boyfriendsNah, I was the first 8-)
Mind you, she’s only 14 :shock:
and well done madrid and forlan!
Yes, well done Caleb. Always knew you had it in you.[/quote]
I take it this is some sort of pathetic ex wigan player linked joke when you say Well done Caleb when in fact his name is Diego ! The nights do really fly by in the from Skem household !!

How long have you actually BEEN a ‘fan’?
Now people, please back me up here. When Caleb FOLAN played for us, back in 2006-07 season, was it not the case that many people referred to him on messageboards as FORLAN? (It was annoying)
That was the ‘joke’ behind it. It wasn’t pathetic at all. It was all tongue in cheek, and I’d expect fans to ‘get’ it. :roll:
