Re: 100% at Wembley? Hang Your Head In Shame, AI . . .

Bristol Rovers lost a play off final at the old Wembley, 2-1 to Huddersfield in about 1998.

Re: Hartlepool v Barrow?

Good morning, could anyone please confirm that this photo shows Hartlepool v Barrow in the early 60's? I thought that might be your keeper Brian Caine and I can't identify the bald defender. On a side note, does anyone know if Brian Caine is still with us and maybe his where abouts if he is as I'd ...

Re: David Dunn

So you would be happy to risk being relegated because last season went well? Twisted logic. Last season is history, it means nothing now, stop looking backwards and using the past to make excuses for the present. I have faith in the board... Think they have more to lose than you or i... Fair enough...

Re: David Dunn

If it does fail so be it - we were happy enough to support them last year when it was going well, time we repaid that faith... This all night long.

Re: David Dunn

Always check facts - in what way did DD have a dreadful record at Blackpool? He held the reins for four games as caretaker manager when the team won two, drew one and lost one, a points per game haul which would put a team in the play off places in League Two at the moment. Noted, though in truth o...

Re: David Dunn

After 48 years out of the league the appointment of Dunn was nothing less than a naive act of self harm by the board. How on earth that man made it to the top of the board's list is beyond comprehension. I can only think that as Barrow seem to have a decent relationship with Blackburrn, some of his ...

Re: New Manager Discussion

Rob Kelly with Dunny https://twitter.com/reluctantnicko/status/1280069058206064645?s=21 Fatty Dunn is more of a figure of fun to Burnley fans, especially as he apparently used to support them as a lad. Hate? Now that would be Simon Garner. Unfortunately if it is Dunn, I'm not convinced he is the ma...

Re: Ian Evatt

Tbh No one is bitter, it's more disappointment that he's chosen to take a side step rather than move up! You surely don't think he's made the decision purely on the basis of what league Bolton are in next season? He's joining a club that is light years ahead in terms of size and infrastructure. At ...

Re: Ian Evatt

Congratulation on your promotion. You are now a very small fish, in a big pond. Everybody on this forum would have made the exact same decision as IE has done. Anyone saying they wouldn’t, would be lying. Bolton are a massive club compared to Barrow and that is why he has left. You are tinpot and a...

:skill: (bear with me) Aaaah Bolton, where the grass is always greener, or is it? 10 years ago Notlob did pretty much the same thing to Burnley they are trying to do to Barrow now. Owen Coyle had done wonders at Burnley and got them promoted to the Premier League. Then Owen Columba Coyle was linked ...
