I’d describe him as the love-child of Joe Rothwell and Bradley Dack. He had the up-off-your-seat acceleration and dribbling of Rothwell coupled with the audacious finishing of Dack.

When did the person who "has moved" move? Im only really getting Gueye vibes out of those 3. Pickering? Forshaw?

Can you imagine: 1) How did you manage to completely derail last season's play off push before ten minutes of your second match had even expired? 2) What does it feel like to have the worst home record in the Club's 150 year history this time round? 3) Why was Hyam sold in the last few hours of the summer transfer window without a replacement? 4) Why did you say the Club could fix the pitch in lieu of spending money in the January window? 5) Do you regret producing "the list" of perceived grievances against officials? 6) As you've been quite adamant that this season's squad is at least comparable to last season's - how do you explain the dip in position from 6th to 20th? etc etc....... Lol.

It’s a FIFA rule (I’ve only left in the first exception as the other four definitely don’t apply to this player):

A little titbit I've heard from a good source on Cantwell. As captain he fronted up 3 of the first team squad for going out the Friday before a match despite it being a club rule. Of the 3 in question one has since moved, one is linked with a move and one doesn't move (I'm sure you can work out who they are). Apparently they were all sanctioned financially (5k from what I have heard) and there is a bit of resentment towards the captain from them because of it. Having said that, he is loved and respected by the rest of the dressing room and is a top bloke.

Gueye is in the pictures of training on Rovers' twitter which were taken to "showcase" our new loanee. Seems any supposed move is not imminent.

Fair enough if that's the case. I think a yellow or red card protest is a really good idea. Nothing whatsoever the Club can do about it and you can do it again and again at appointed times in different matches. I just possibly wouldn't do it at a match when the main initiative was a boycott. Can never have too many good ideas.

Hope he continues his good form and has a fantastic career. Can see he had talent. Just another one chased out the door by Rudy.

It will have been an absolute non-entity of an event. Business people watching a sanitised set of questions.

Anyone willing to admit they were there ?

I've no idea what the state of his back injury was but I always thought he looked like he had ability. Having been sent to Coventry in finest Gueye fashion it seems as though his major crime was to stick up for that female member of staff who got sacked.

At least we'll have 2 Axels, even if the wheels have fallen off.

Any update from anyone who was there able to give a breakdown

Don't listen to what other fans say, he'll probably end up slumming it at Espanyol with Dolan.

It is worth noting that English clubs will be prevented from signing players from foreign clubs under the age of 18, once Brexit has been formalised. It is why Arsenal example - The highly rated 16-year-olds who have grown up in Esmeraldas, Ecuador, will arrive at the club when they turn 18. Chelsea example - Estêvão would join the club in the summer of 2025, on his eighteenth birthday

Swerving what? Are you going a bit mental ? Why would I suggest it if I wouldn't take part? It was only a suggestion though that I thought up in about 5 seconds. Maybe someone could think of something better, maybe something that didn't require "props".

Do you have a source? Don’t think that’s the case, I believe it was a rule put in place more for African youth players and such.

Well they like rags that's been established.

I was up for the Charlton game, long-planned. We were conflicted (a couple didn’t come to either) about going to both Wrexham and Charlton, but the 12.30 Wrexham k/o made the decision for us and we had a better day out at Clitheroe, instead. The boycott was a big consideration, though. We drank locally, ate from the vans pitched outside Ewood. What I saw on the day was a mix: a lot of people going out of habit/“ignorance;” a fair few in a similar boat to myself (not local anymore, back home for the festive period); those who were there for social/family reasons (gonna chalk this up to “oblivious” though that term is probably unkind). It was sad, none of us felt particularly buzzy about going on, none of us had actually bought tickets until we got to Ewood, we considered sacking it off at lunch in Clitheroe. I’ve never once had that feeling before and it kind of continued in the ground, during the game and after. We weren’t talking about the game, we were talking about whether we’ll keep coming back, whether we should’ve sacked it off after all (admittedly this bit was half time). For transparency, I have done a fair bit of work for the coalition but “left” (if you can even call it that) around the anniversary game. What I’ve since realised is - this is probably a breaking point. I don’t necessarily mean that we’ll tumble down the leagues into obscurity, I weirdly don’t think that will happen. But the core base of fans still attending is too few, too disengaged and too stubborn to ever really cause/back major action. I also don’t think anything has cut through since October last year, on the action front and you could argue the last big cut through moment was the Middlesbrough game. I’m not even posting this as a rallying cry/criticism, so much as an observation of the reality we face. I want change as much as the rest of those that do, but if the rest of the turkeys around you keep voting for Christmas, you’re getting in the fucking oven. We are unfortunately a victim of others’ stubbornness, fans and owners alike. I don’t really know where I am with it, anymore. I’ve talked with friends about the QPR away game in February, we’ll probably go. I’ll watch all games that are watchable via any and all means, but the intensity of the feeling of initial cut-through and subsequent stalling, as well as seeing your fellow fans’ position makes any further action feel a bit futile.

Answer the question I put to you then instead of swerving it: Would you personally actively participate in (for example) a yellow/red card protest inside the ground? I've already said around the time of the Derby fixture, I'd come down to a match to participate in a protest if something suitable were to be organised. I can't boycott, having already voted with my feet some time ago.

Axel Bronner won't cost 1m. No way. Norrköping was relegated and he was one of the bright spots in that team making his debut in Allsvenskan. Could be a good signing potentially.

Biggest mistake seems to have been letting Leonard go on the cheap. 8 goals and 3 assists this season already. I know a lot of us wanted him to stay, he would have ended up getting a decent amount of game time here this season.

Maybe when he was pointing he was right???

McInnes is a good manager (for a rangers man). The SPL produces some good managers but they get looked down on from down south. Jens Askou is a fantastic coach at Motherwell, but can guarantee his name won’t be on many fans lips
