86 MINS: Olsson wins a free-kick for Rovers on the left, Savage to take but nothing comes of it.
85 MINS: Gallagher out wide to Rigters on the left, back to Gallagher but from a tight angle his effort could only find the side-netting.

-4 MINS: Fingers crossed that the power problems that we've had here have now gone away for at least ninety minutes.
-5 MINS: The team-sheet for today's game only mentions five subs for Rovers, which is clearly wrong as there are a further five players (Derbyshire, Olsson, Santa Cruz, Rigters and Gallagher) who have been warming up. We also have a new player, Aaron Mokoela!
-10 MINS: Only two sides of the ground open today, the Tom Finney Stand (where I am), and the Bill Shankley Kop behind the goal to my left, of which Rovers fans occupy all but one blank area of the seats.
