I was at a rugby league match with my wife and the opposing team had a young, very slight scrum half. My wife said - “ He looks like his legs are pinned on to the bottom of his shorts “. That remark came back to me when I saw DeNeve for the first time.

My heads hurting after that mate and it's not because of the overly priced beer.

Haven't seen anything of today's game and must admit these days of one of the first eleven kicked me in the bollocks I wouldn't know who they were. Although I'd never suspect a rovers player of being so on target. Anyway. Haven't all of our seasons followed the same pattern. Initial struggle, then put together an amazing sequence of wine, to the table, fall away gradually then either stage a recovery and push for sixth and not quite make it or end up lower mid table ISH? It's this season going to be more of the same? Seems not?

sidnei was struggling after the hour and should have been replaced.birmingham started to get on top at this time de neve at fault for the penalty,he was badly outmuscled and turned giving no choice to the defenders,they had to stick out a leg.frankly de neve looks more out his depth than telalovic did,if we wanted a **** wide player,we might as well have kept markanday today really showed how far we`ve regressed,birmingham an ok side but nothing special,we made them look better than they are results like today are hard to forget,i suspect results will now completely fall off a clff,it looks like we`ll only be saved from relegation by clubs that are worse than us,lets hope there are 3/4 of them

Said in jest but actually a fair point - if anyone can rent it out, maybe a suitable protest message? The annoying thing is - Rovers probably have some sort of veto over what appears on that board so a protest message probably wouldn't be allowed whereas a sickly message saying how wonderful the opposing Club is, is apparently absolutely fine. Symbolises perfectly what a joke Club we have become.

He’s on his way into my Blackburn Rovers worst 11.

Lot of effort and generally we were ok. However pieces of poor play combined to see us lose it. De Neve, Tavares and Miller have to stop that situation before the penalty. Tavares corner is shocking, as is the decision to commit so many men that far forward. Not sure who the defender is who doesn’t even stick a leg out to stop the cross for the winner. As Travis is clearly first choice midfielder then his promised ‘replacement’ should also be first choice. Let’s wait and see.

That isn't how I saw it today,I couldn't see Birmingham scoring from open play whatsoever. It was Rovers over committing to the win which cost them.

So much talk on forums for example “Venkys Out” “Pasha Out” etc etc etc but so little action! we have a so called action group that from what I can see don’t really do much apart from bask in the glory of being invited to meetings! Where are the pre game protests? After game protests? Action during games? The ground is completely silent! This action group can sod off as well as Venky’s!

How come we all know this was going to happen as we ticked down to the 90th minute, it’s a Blackburn rovers thing. We never get late winners, always losses. somebody surely has to take a professional foul to stop them breaking on us when we are caught on the break. That’s lost points on not having champ experience, even forshaw would have stopped that I reckon. if travis is going, are we replacing him or is it still just a rw to come in? We need a good few and a few of these new recruits don’t look up to it. We are already up against it

Got a picture?

10/10. character and mindset. That is the difference. There is a losing mentality that pervades the club from top to bottom.

Any team playing against us always know there’s a chance of us imploding no matter how late it is in the game. Against other teams they might lose heart but against us they’ll always have a chance. So they keep going when otherwise they may not.

I suppose it'd cheer a few up.

I was thinking this, too. Going into the last 5 mins I felt sure City would have at least one big chance to get something from the game. And when it went to 1-1 with 10 extra minutes to play, I felt no confidence whatsoever that Rovers would strike back. There have been so many of our games that play out like this late in the match - and (virtually) never in our favour. That speaks not to refereeing, or 'luck', but to character, mindset, fitness, confidence, or all the above. The club has become overrun by losers and people who aren't good enough for whatever role they have, at all levels. We are a mess and I defy anyone to say administration and a fresh start would not be preferable to this horrific experience.

Do they charge by the word? How much for three? Fuck Off Venkys

Bad teams concede at the death regularly. Good team score at the death regularly. How long ago is it since we came from a goal down to win in the last ten minutes ? It must be years ago.

I'll be surprised if Potter isn't the first PL manager to be sacked. Id put him in the same sort of envelope as Russell Martin, if he were made of chocolate he'd eat himself, he could talk a glass eye to sleep going on about "trusting in the process" but I simply can't see the attraction.

With those Elonex signs, I think anyone can pay for the digital ads wherever they want to target. Did you see Liverpool fans did it to the big hoarding as you arrive into Manchester when they won the title in May?

I'm really sad to say this, but the only way to get the fuckers out is an empty stadium v Derby, I would stand outside shouting Fuckers out, empty ground and a massive statement. Jack Walker's BLUE AND WHITE ARMY! 135 YEARS Rovers, 15 years of pain.

That is absolutely embarrassing.

I think Birmingham City will have paid the private company for that ad space, won't be anything to do with us. It's impressive attention to detail from their owners that our owners couldn't possibly grasp.

Casual is exactly what I've been saying after the game. Wasn't impressed with him at all. He'll need to improve if he's going to be a starter. Will be interesting to see who they bring in to replace Travis.

At least the club got their priorities right in kissing the arse of the away fans.
