No greater tribute than a goal in the 49th. Bellers positive pants moment!

[Andy Bayes @AndyBayes]

I know that I really don’t need to ask for support on this, but in the 49th minute at Ewood today, make the biggest noise you can to remember a truly great lady. Bellers’ family will be there to lead it. @danjewellmedia & @kevingallacher8, 2 of her pals on commentary.

❤️ Saturday's #EFL Championship game between #Blackburn #Rovers and #Middlesbrough will see a minute's applause for our much-missed colleague Jen Bellamy.

Jen’s daughter @hbellamyx has been sharing some special memories.

Just a wonderful pleasure talking to @hbellamyx ahead of an emotional day on Saturday. She’s so much like her mum.
Bellers was besotted with her family. She deserves her moment during the Boro game so much.
Give her everything you’ve got on minute 49 #rovers & #boro fans.

Both of us are glad that the championship is back! Not much conversation, just watching the game together.

Please share @hbellamyx original tweet far and wide across all platforms.

Tell your friends. Mention it to those you sit around.

It feels so incredibly wrong to be starting the season without @EricBlueMonster but this would be the most fitting tribute 💙

⚪️ "The way [Jusef Erabi] connected with the fans. He was geeing them up. I love that. He produced, and you could see the reaction. He lifted the crowd."

Alan Kelly and @AndyBayes pinpoint why Erabi has become an instant hit at #Preston North End

[BBC Sport Lancashire @BBCLancsSport]

⚽️ "He [Nicky Hayen] must have led from the front and given the talk that mentally put them in a position where they thought, no, we're not going to accept this. We're better than this."

Alan Kelly and @AndyBayes discuss #Burnley's fightback against West Ham.

🔵 ⚪️ "Mark Atkins was saying he thinks Tony Mowbray is a man who builds teams, who builds squads, and who builds mentality within dressing rooms. He doesn't let outside things that he can't control affect what he does in the dressing room. The performance epitomised that."

Alan Kelly reviewed #Blackburn's 2-2 draw against #Wolves

Should the Championship have VAR? 🤔

[Andy Bayes @AndyBayes]

It's early days but #pnefc fans look to have really taken to Jusef Erabi and the feeling is mutual.

[BBC Sport Lancashire @BBCLancsSport]

⚪️ "The best thing to hear is good words from the [head] coach. That's the one person that you want to impress week in, week out to hopefully play all the games."

Some classic TM here.

The best thing here is for Toth's future to be decided, ASAP and move on quickly before the deadline.

[BBC Sport Lancashire @BBCLancsSport]

🔵 ⚪️ "I want them all to enjoy their careers. It's very short. Football gives you some of your best moments in your life, apart from the day you get married to your beautiful wife or you have your children... If the goalie wants to go and do it somewhere else and win trophies and play in the Champions League, who am I to tell him he shouldn't do that?"

#Blackburn #Rovers head coach Tony Mowbray won't stand in Balazs Toth's way if he wants to leave Ewood Park

Some end to the game

[BBC Sport Lancashire @BBCLancsSport]

⚽️ "This is something we can build on."

#Burnley boss Nicky Hayen was proud the Clarets battled to a 2-2 draw with West Ham.
