I read Arbitro’s posts avidly, we played in the same primary school team, but there are two separate issues: was it a foul? Probably not. Did Hedges need to make any contact at all? Definitely not: it was a foot from the touchline and six feet from the corner flag, there were two defenders right there and another not far away, zero risk in that situation.

Clumsy tackle. In the modern game, you should never give the opposition an excuse to go down, and that's what Hedges did.

Yeah moronic challenge right in front of the linesman. Seconds to go. When will we learn.

This.

But you believe everything the Club puts out on social media?

fixed it for you 😉

No need to do what he did.

Sometimes I feel really out of kilter with most people, I just can’t watch this and see it as a horrendous decision. I think it’s a foul more often than not for an attacker or a defender in that situation. Not quite shoulder to shoulder but shoulder into the back. Naive and stupid from Hedges (who has been good overall this season)

Not sure what Todd Cantwell has to do with a discussion about Ryan Hedges

Yeah still harsh on him though. He’s been outstanding in that left wing back position. Doesn’t deserve the criticism. Ain’t his fault he’s too strong for the opponent.

Can I believe Cantwell when he uses social media to tell me to not always believe what’s said on social media? 🤔

He needs to realise his bosses comments aren't helping matters he seems to be implying Todd is swinging the lead.

You don't really touch on it in your post, but what do you make of the players that came off the bench, the bunch of mainly recent Gestede signings; De Neve, Henriksson, Gueye and Baradji? You put the closing stages down to fatigue but we had made plenty of subs who were fresh but again totally incapable of managing the game or making correct decisions to lighten the load on those behind them.

Ince is up there.

I just remembered something else he said on radio lancs today which I didn't really understand. It may have been a bit lost in translation, not sure. He said something along the lines of "I wish we had conceded the equaliser earlier rather than right at the death". I don't know why that makes a difference, maybe he thought that would give us chance to still go on and score again. Usually when a team pulls level against us, they go on and get another. So f*** knows what he was getting at.

"don't believe what you read on social media" I don't, and haven't. I've just been paying attention to the way this club has acted for the past however many years. It may well be an injury, but I won't be told I'm a moron for expecting the pricks running the show to keep doing what they've always done.

val getting angry with the ref,it was his substitutions that cost us 3 points,first time this season he`s really annoyed me,putting deneve on at a crucial time in the game when it`s clear he`s got no defensive nous at all

They know what they are doing but are still stupid. It'll end in tears.

I think a better mantra is “Don’t believe most of what comes out of Blackburn Rovers employees mouths”

good for you, please for you

I prefer the more likely explanation---we owe Rangers a bonus payment if he plays more than 50 games for us.

That’s exactly what he was doing. I refer you to arbitro’s post above and he refereed on the league for teens of years

maybe not for you. Does for me, as Todd says don't believe everything written on social media

I thought we were excellent today until the closing stages when fatigue set in for one or two. Even so, we looked comfortable until the most ludicrous free kick was awarded by the linesman. Clearly, the guy had never played the game as it was simply a case of the excellent Hedges being far too strong from the Wrexham lad. As arbitro said earlier, the referee had let so many tackles go and then awards the softest of soft free-kicks. I thought Forshaw was outstanding in midfield and was very much on the front foot. Hedges too, was a real workhorse down the left side. Pratt again, kept it simple and cleared his lines without fuss. The lad is beginning to really grow into first team football. A word of praise too for the often decried Pears. He made some good saves and did well under pressure on corners. It was good to see him coming out and catching the ball. He really did look the part today. Once again, it was another away performance that was a joy to watch and in stark contrast to our home performances. Certainly those of us who travel to away games have seen the best of Rovers this season.

I will think what I want, as it least it means that I think for myself. I get no consolation from seeing the opposition saying how good we are having failed to beat them. Became a weekly occurrence 2 seasons ago after defeats.
