Being posted on several accounts though. Either copying each other or something in it

Legia is in serious money problems. They need the cash they can get. They are even in more problems than Blackburn. Selling a player cheaper than they want to is least of their problems.

Nar its probably bullshit but yeah, you're right, gets it out of the way at least. Reckon we'd be in for a proper pasting though.

Southend are playing Cardiff and St Mirren are playing MK Dons at the same stadium so there’s no guarantee our matches will be against Spanish teams.

There's absolutely shit loads of teams in Spain, shouldn't be an issue finding opposition although the standard won't be great I don't think. Real Murcia and Cartagena would be the obvious choices.....

more chance of venkys appearing in blackburn,he`s not going for the peanuts we offer,thats for certain,think legia want 4 million for him,seeing as we will probably offer 400k,it is definately a non starter

Better on a Saturday in August than a Tuesday in January tbf, not that I believe it's a legit rumour like.

Looks like Steve Kapaudi is the left sided centre back they are focusing their attention on, with the stumbling block being Legia owe a 35% sell on. 6 foot 5 french born Congolese international, spent his entire career in Eastern Europe. Scored in Legia Warsaw’s 2-1 win over Chelsea last season. Being reported by a Polish journo on X…

12pm

Do we have a rough release time?

Carsley should have stayed as England manager

No way Pickering can play LCB when we play two CB’s.

Two good goals from Elliot. We need to find a striker though, the lad from Big Club never touched the ball.

Twitter rumour that we are away at Southampton on the opening day. Would be a horrendous opener.

New signing in the medical department 😉

It’s not our first rodeo.

I wonder what sort of take up they’ll have for these 🙄 https://www.rovers.co.uk/news/2025/june/25/2025-26-etc-trial-dates-announced/ Oh and ‘changes in structure’ - that’s one way of putting it. https://www.rovers.co.uk/news/2025/june/25/rovers-women-trial-dates-confirmed/ ‘Begin a new journey’ - what an absolute piss take.

All going as predicted so far. Linked to players we can't afford. We laughed at the 90 percent of players signed by pre season -and right we were. Baath/Weinman gone Dolan as good as gone Forshaw back in... quelle surprise. Two cheap Euro signings in. No contract renewals in sight for Travis, Brittain, Tronstadt or Hyam. I'd say its going exactly as most of us envisaged.

Yeah sorry, it was meant as a dig at the club, in the I hope that they did chuffin' well go and see him live!

I’ve no particular issue with four senior centre backs and then relying on youngsters. It was the club who suggested (by seeking a left footed CB and to retain Batth) they didn’t think four is enough.

Just wondering with Batty now looking like staying, whether they are considering Pickering as a left CB option. That would leave the new signing (whoever that may be), Wharton and Pickering as left sided , with Hyam, Carter, Atchison and O'Riordan on the opposite side

Batth played a bigger role than expected with Hayden Carter injured more often than not. RCB we have Hyam and Carter, and LCB we have <new signing> plus S. Wharton as backup, with Pickering and youngster being able to slot it. While Batth had a great season and was a contenter for player of the season, I wouldn't offer him a two-year deal. We have plenty of experienced players in the squad, and hopefully the ones left have learned a lot from Batth.

I watched the Central Lancashire League a lot. I remember seeing Gary Sobers making 140 odd for Littleborough against Castleton Moor at Partington St. They ended up with 9 fielders all on the boundary ropes. Just the bowler and the wicket keeper near the bat. Sobers walked out to one ball, missed it, and just kept walking. The keeper ran up and stumped him. Garys knees were knackered. He was wearing the most elegant whites I’ve ever seen. He looked a million dollars. The Moor were financed by a local bookmaker, Tommy Heneghan. A typical bookmaker, a little tubby guy in a suit. He’d set up a table by the ground entrance to take all the entrance fees himself. With Sobers playing it was going to be a big gate. I’d arrived about 10 minutes late. Just in time to see Sobers hit the ball out of the ground right by where Tommy had set up his little table. The ball was in the gutter so I said to Tommy - “ Give me the ball Tommy, I’ll throw it back on “. Tommy said - “ No it’s OK I’ll throw it on”. So Tommy goes to throw the ball back on, only It stuck in his hand a bit, and went straight through the windscreen of some poor spectators parked car. This was just as the owner was getting out of the car ! The guy wasn’t pleased to say the least. He marched up to Tommy saying- “ What the f—k are doing you dozy little bastard ! “ Tommy shit his pants and said “ Look at that sign up there, you park at your own risk “ The guy said - “ I’ll take my chances with Soberx but not with a fool like you “

I’d forgotten that one! We can’t be blocking those (dare I say cheaper) youngsters with better, more experienced players can we.
