At the moment I abhor what Venky's are doing to my club, I talk about Rovers on Blackburn web sites, this is Accyweb. The reason I continually give the plastics stick is the fact that the thread each year trying to deride Liverpool is started my Plastic, never attend Old Trafford Mancs, if there were no thread there would be no comment really well except when I nice interesting comment appears in the news, which some how you never ever answer. I tend to read the Stanley section and comment on things I can, because like a lot of others Stanley are my second team.

Gents I hope you don’t mind me jumping in on this subject. When I was a kid in Accy. when we could afford it or when I could get in for free, I used to go to Peel Park to watch my local team play. Remember 3rd Division North etc. I wasn’t a supporter just a fan. But since 1962 I have been a fan of Liverpool. It was a bit hard to get to see them when you spend most of your time working all over the country and world. But still a fan and I am today. You mention plastic mancs. I cannot abide them. The south of England is also full of them. What annoys me though is down here when and only when Man united are being televised, loads of southerner cram the pubs all dressed in Man Kit and talking in sentences of ( We are going to thrash ) whoever they are playing ) I don’t understand this WE bit. The A holes down here have never been to my county never mind to Manchester. (We Played well, We are going to thrash, We are going to Buy etc.) You would think that down here Near France they would support a southern team, but no they just jump on this Man Crap bandwagon. I am still a fan of Liverpool. I check out Accrington every week. Big argument soon as my mate is a Port Vale Fan. And I go to watch Folkestone Invicta where my son plays and I go to watch Hythe town play. Both teams in the Ryman league. I also Like Blackburn Rovers but at this moment things are not going well for them. But I have no negative comments because one day they will be back where they belong.
