As we've seen with the red button for mid week games that would surely be the death knell for the competition. Agree with the nostalgic comments above - when I was a kid and there was no live football on TV apart from the Home internationals, England qualifiers and the FA Cup Final - Final day and the build up was the highlight of the year. These days a lot of it is a bit dull. The broadcasters dont help themselves when they choose to show an all Premiership tie - it's still all about the David v Goliath ties and hoping the minnow can pull off a massive upset. There was a fantastic match involving Spurs and a very small non League outfit last season and when you get something like that it's still the best competition in the world by far.

I agree but at some point one of Ohashi or Gudjonsen are going to break down so we need to plan ahead. Also no more CBs. Sheffield Wednesday are one of our easier games so might be the time for a change. Also bringing on Ohashi to close our games rather than start them could help a lot with our robustness.

No way this game is on tomorrow its properly coming down now. Game will be off I'll bet

Is that over base on an Indian base rate or a UK base rate? If overdraft has gone up £8 million and interest gone up over £1 million doesn't look that competitive. That looks like 12.5 per cent to me.

Horrific at the moment. Heavy rain and very strong winds. The forecast I saw for tomorrow was better. Light rain all morning up until about 4p.m. then heavier rain. With winds half the strength of currently. So you'd expect it to be ok but who knows with this lot. Isn't it ludicrous that we have to be on pins every time there's a bit of rain. When's this drainage sleeve getting done?

i hope they call it off before kick off then,i got absolutely wringing walking up livesey branch road after the ipswich debacle🤒

Agreed. Absolutely bog - standard, like Hedges before we signed him, not the sort of player we'd need to sign if we had any aspirations whatsoever of moving forward at any point. Therefore no surprise whatsoever to hear we appear to be going all out to try and get him. (On the cheap of course)

I know it’s awful. Forecast is showing rain all day tomorrow, 1pm-6pm heavy rain pretty much. Crikey…

All FA cup games to be televisied should be free to watch on BBC or ITV. Maybe the FA should have its own TV channel

Talks might be happening to bring the permanent deal forward by 6 months. Most likely will be how long the transfer fee is pay over. Decent player having a decent season

Speaking of The Dingles, one of their lads is now banned for 4 games for spitting at fans. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/cq5q3jdn6w4o

I still remember the USA 94 world Cup. I am similarly looking to this one despite the expanded or being played a different time zone, and being held during North America summer weather will be challenging for all teams.

Folks, this rain in Blackburn is not going away anytime soon. It's horrendous. Ipswich type rain.... It's in for the night.

Jermaine Stewart - We Don’t Have To Take Our Clothes Off

I’d stick with the 5 at the back, which has served us pretty well given the amount of players we have had out recently. When Pickering came to Rovers his “ highlight “ video showed him almost exclusively operating as a wing back. I’d give him I go, or Ribeiro. De Neve ? Nah, not again.

Two guesses. Are you hedging your bet.

That doesn’t sound like what happened to Bury - I thought that’s what would come next.

I might be in the minority but I hope it's massive failure. All the travelling in the heat. Plus Trump's involvement. just heard about the ticket prices £8000 the cheapest for the final tickets and allowed to go for resale above face value plus they are on that system used for oasis and FIFA takes a 30,% cut.

So it may be another Cantwellesc 2 months out with a knock then?

Good news is if de never starts he can’t be subbed on in the final 15 which will limit us conceding in the final 15, although we will likely be losing by then anyway

Yes please

When you say new project I presume you mean, once this venkys yes man has left, venkys have left and we are taken over by owners who actually care and bring in a manager who can coach with some decent investment of championship quality players

Just prior to him going off he was having some treatment on his calf but earlier in the match he was holding his back after he appeared to take a knee in it.

He’ll be decent in League One when we drop there this year or next.

He's no stranger to the treatment room either tbf but the reduction in quality of the squad now has us bemoaning the loss of Ryan Hedges. De Neve will start in his place 100%
