Re: Players released by other clubs - who we might be interested in....

Redweb asks when did a 5' 9" centre forward become a midget, i think the answer is when Carlisle signed a 6' 9" goal keeper. That's the long and the short of it!

Re: Sporting Director Announced

The way I'm reading this It's the BOD finally realising we can't keep employing managers who want to completely revamp the whole club, change everything then get sacked and here we are again with a new manager who wants to change things again. With a Sporting Director in place for the long term the ...

Re: Steve Calvert

Sorry to read this. My memories of Steve were from athletics at school he was representing Westshore on Walney and I was running for my school St Aloysius, it was the inter schools cross country I was leading in the final straight and he pipped me at the tape, the strange thing was we had to give ou...

Re: For the older fans

Must have been the best manager we ever had. As a 15 year old playing for the under 18s he used to pick me up on A Sunday morning to take me for training at Holker Street. How many managers would do that. He later offered me an apprenticeship at the club which I turned down in order to get one in th...

Re: Cold Case Review

I was playing for Barrow under 18 team at the time and we were given seats inside the perimeter wall on the edge of the track, I had an perfect view and it was on the edge of the penalty area near the corner of the box. I played for Brian some years later in the reserve team and he said he was alway...

Re: FOREST GREEN. AWAY

As a veggie for over 30 years and a Bluebird for twice as long I think it's a bit sad to be criticising Forest Green for being vegan, the team aren't vegan only the owner. And to suggest Barrow might have an advantage over them because the players might be meat eaters is rather pathetic given our re...

Re: Mentality

How many times do you see teams at the bottom of leagues try to avoid relegation by defending deep and playing with fear, only to find it failed. Then for the last few games with nothing to loose they play expansive football and beat teams near the top. If we continue to play with fear of losing we ...

Re: Ian Evatt

What these Bolton fans don't seem to understand is that they are failures and as such should be speaking to our highly successful fans with humility. Now the thing with humble pie is that it is supposed to be eaten quietly and not covered in sqirty cream and dressed up like millionaires shortbread o...
