Speaking of "YouTube" players. I wonder how (2009) Carlos Villanueva would fare in the 2025-2026 Championship? I bet 2009 Aaron Mokoena would be the best player in the division. Wonder how many other of our "bang average" players of Pre-Venky (Premier League) years would be absolute studs for us now... Jason Roberts, Zurab Khizanishvilli, Alan Fettis (🤣), Shefki Kuqi, Vince Grella (💀), Keith Andrews (👈).

Not really the fault of Pep, it's the fault of everyone who can't see that the only way you can play like that is by having the best players in the world (and the refs on the payroll).

How about this. If Brittain is still with us when the season kicks off, I will pay £100 to a charity of your choice. If Brittain has gone when the season kicks off, you pay £100 to a chaity of my choice.

No Tugay? Really?

There's is zero chance Leonard is seen as third choice striker. If he was, he would have been in Spain and not turning out for the U21's against Oldham.

I was talking to my brother who said Hitting it into the top corner female keepers have no chance

Sadly I agree on the relegation bit, we are being steered in that direction. Lord know their reasoning. Does me head in, just a few mill from a real.crack at some serious income and they put the brakes on. Nuts.

Which is a good 30-35 years and covers all recent history (good and bad). I think it's a pretty good span, to be fair. My team would be mostly similar, but with Nelsen in for Henchoz, Berg in for Neill and probably Ripley replacing Dunn.

Daughter's fella made a good point. He said women keepers can stand their ground until the kick's taken and have a chance Daughter's fella made a good point, saying women keepers can wait till the kick's taken and have a chance of getting to it. The men have to gamble or they've no chance

Henchoz was the one really good signing RoyBoy made amongst a lot of very average players.

Like I said we discussed yesterday where I said I would bring in another striker over centre midfielder instead. We will see what happens in the next 5 weeks. Let's see what happens with which positions we signed players for and who we sign, then take from there tbh RF99 I dont need justify anything as I am just passionate Rovers fan and STH.

He did it more than once. Indeed, the manager liked him so much in that position, Eamon was worried about losing his place in the ROI team and he refused to play as a full back. He promptly got dropped, as a disciplinary measure.

Didn't start watching football till the early 90s

You clearly have a short lifetime!

You mean after leaving us ? Eamon Rogers was great, a David Dunn who could tackle as well. He was an attacking midfield player but he could play in most position. I saw him play as an emergency right back once and he looked like he’d played there all his life.

Very tidy.

It doesn’t matter what the reporters are saying. Doesn’t matter what Ismael is saying. It’s another cry out like his predecessors before him that falls on death ears above him. Been a long time since the club has produced what the manager wants in the market overall. The reason why a few have walked before him.

If you’re going to side foot it - it’s got to be all along the the ground and in the corner. Going high down the middle works also.

I was merely asking your opinion. Not what you think Ismael thinks, Gestede thinks or plans, Jackson thinks or what "Nicko" thinks we will do. Do you agree that we need at least 2 more? And would you be disappointed if we didnt? I think I am pretty sure that Ismael wouldnt "want" a striker who has spent 2 years injured and hardly set the league on fire before that as any choice any time soon. Just as he probably doesnt imminently plan on bringing an academy player through that hasnt even been in the first team extended squad in pre season, which was another of your pre-empted attempts to justify that you seemingly dont expect more than one more attacking player being brought in.

It is pretty obvious is it not? Other teams scouts scour this board and have picked up on "Rev's Reviews" and are therefore not interested. Actually it is a good question, Cantwell either having no interest from anyone and I expected Eustace to be all over him. I thought that mostly cos of Cantwell's comments prior to joining us. All cos of Eustace he was making out.

You'd be fumin' if you were that Charles lass - she looked alright when she came on.

Well well Luke did it after 5 nil down again. Amazing player

Haven't we already discussed this yesterday about these issues? You have seen Ismael's comments and what Jackson has reported. Its appears 2/3 more and in those positions reported by Jackson and Nicko. Maybe Ismael wants Leonard as his third choice or equally after the first couple they changed their mind and sign another striker. Or Maybe the player they wanted for the attacking right side can play up front. We will sign in 5 weeks time RF99

Didn't Eamonn Rogers (sp) also have a career ender shortly after joining us. Never saw him olay but heard he was good. Have we somehow gotten away from the transfer thread. Bet there's a few of us tearry eyed with some of those memories. I truly loved Blackburn Rovers. Might still, dunno, easier from afar perhaps. Never.missed home games and only a few away but now if I was still present I can't say I would still go.

There were at least 3 very poor pens. I was talking my Mrs through why they were poor and her answer was "so you need at least one of power and accuracy? So why did they do that?" I know pressure plays a part but if you're not confident of hitting the corner you have to give it the Pearce/Bronze.
