Venky’s…Fool If You Think It’s Over…😆

I can never understand that. If we manage to clear the ball it’ll only come straight back again because we have nobody down field.

No doubt there will be a big tribute to Chris Rea at the Riverside on Boxing Day. Insert your own remarks about Rovers, Venkys and the road to hell.

@rog of the rovers made this precise point on the Christmas Special podcast…👌

Up to Smoggyland…can Rovers return with a point or three..?

For me, nothing less than sweeping changes will now suffice. Because there is simply nothing good to have come out of the first three games. So theres absolutely nothing to lose. And nothing to gain by repeating the process with these players. Root made a ton. Archer got a 5 for and bowled at 90+ and made a 50. Stokes showed true grit, with bat and ball. All of which we expected. The bare minimum from those three. What else did we get? Wood got injured. Crawley got past 50 a couple of times. Brook hit a few sixes. Duckett and Pope collapsed. We dropped catches. All of which we expected. The series is over in eleven short days. Of which we enjoyed maybe four. Eleven days. Its pitiful. Which has far wider implications than just irritating me. The travelling English fans. The Aussie fans that bought tickets. The Aussie venues. The TV companies. Corporate and hospitality. Grass roots. Promotion of the game. Millions of pounds have been lost. Touring England teams used to have 4 x 4 day warm up games before the first test. Acclimatising to the timezones, weather, pitches, humidity, conditions, different ball. You know, like being professional! This lot are going on a 6 day bender when 2-0 down. They are slovenly and it shows. There's something badly wrong and rotten about the set up. No standards, no responsility and no accountabiliy. Failure is constantly rewarded. I'm really disappinted.

Sad about that. On The Beach---great album.

during his sojourn to venkyland,pasha has been attacked by elephants released by irate indian rovers fans,the power football eh,we could`nt get rid of him,it took a group of indian farmers with a penchant for blue and white halves to do the job😁

Thanks for clearing that up. It is totally unacceptable at any level of football. Who the fuck is training them at free-kicks. I would also wonder why the keeper isn't taking the kick.

don't comments on the stats that proves you wrong with your comments

He is, but that balls always going to the far post. Gueye is always going to be the target. Players often purposely stand offside initially but has Gueye stayed onside, Ohashi would have been hoping for the ball to come across.

And Ohashi is more offside than Pape!

Oh the irony.

There are two offside. I think the other is Ohashi

I would venture to suggest that the manager of Spurs knows a great deal more about the qualities of his players than good 'ol Chaddy.

I do think Mengi would be good signing, young player and knows the league. Also depending on the fee its another one where he comes here, does well and we sign him on. I have mentioned previously Mads Andersen before cos he knows Ismael from his Barnsley and he is at Luton also. Thanks Jacob for sharing. Good article. Like reading articles like that. Please continue the good work

Whilst we may well look for a centre back, if Luton want their money back on Mengi (or more), then he will be well outside of our price range, as are most things that are worth more than a half eaten mars bar these days 😉

Good evening. I've just finished writing an article recommending a signing for each Championship club. Let me know what you think of the Blackburn suggestion. I'm an Ipswich fan so most of the picks are from an outsiders' perspective, but seems like centre-back will be a position you'll look to strengthen in January?

Thanks for your custom 🙂

Offside. Absolutely numb

Done. Many thanks. Happy Christmas/ Venky’s out…

Just wait and see. I wonder if he will be back for the Wrexham game at home on New Year day. I guess we have a new CEO appointment shortly after the New Year. That appointment will tell us if Pasha is coming back or not

It’s available now…👍 https://shop.brfcs.com/products/joyeux-noel-blackburn-rovers-tribute-tee-shirt

It seems that since Ventre came in we are mixing things up on set plays (as we should too) and a variety of signals are used by the various corner takers. I My thinking on Saturday was that as Millwall posed a real threat from corners it was all hands to the pump.
