Shall we start a ITK locked MOD thread @Herbie6590 where we submit the tweets and we do a tally of the best ITK for the end of Jan, and the worst

I think you're looking for reasons to be offended there ( particularly if you're boycotting yourself anyway) but hey ho. There will no doubt be some supporters who take the stance "Im not being told what to do" no matter what the rhetoric is surrounding the call to arms.

Not sure how much of the last four years you've missed but Rovers do not reinvest money received from transfers.

I thought about this with accuracy including Nixon, rewarding first reporters with a gold silver bronze

The lad is an illiterate goon with nothing else to do to make himself feel important

Apparently it's the Tyjon to Arsenal rumour again. Though he says nothing been agreed ! That's breaking news for you. Nothing to do with Alebiosu

For the next window, someone needs to make an ITK top trumps game, with scores for being cryptic, evasiveness, bullshitting, shit stirring, originality, etc Any other suggestions?

Speedie Gonna Get Ya (member of Coalition) said ‘If you are content with the current ownership and the way the club is being run then attend’, that is complicity re-worded.

Fair enough, well done for supporting it when the time comes. Personally, I can't see it matters one iota which actual match is chosen as long as there's plenty of advance notice given and it's well publicised. No-one from the Coalition has used language like "complicit" as far as Im aware, that's come from one or two posters on here.

The king of the bullshitters. Never offers anything concrete and copies other sources in a desperate attempt for attention. That account never gets anything right either. 2 accounts that sum up why transfer windows are insufferable.

Yes, it makes perfect sense. Not sure why you are finding this so difficult. But once again: The Coalition needs support, there’s nobody else that’s going to front it and campaigns take many steps, so I’m happy to do my bit… but I think they should have chosen a different game and I don’t like language like ‘complicit’ aimed at anybody that doesn’t take part. Guess what, life and the decisions you make aren’t always easy, aren’t always black and white.

Right, so if I understand you correctly then, you're actually complying with the request to boycott for one game (kudos to you if that's the case) whilst at the same time constantly criticising the call for a boycott and saying it's the wrong thing to do. Makes sense.

Rodney Marsh and Georgie (on the same team) tackling each other for a laugh 🙂

Blocked from leaving hence why pissed off although i doubt there is any 'cashing in' going in whatsoever. More like maybe a face washing exercise like the Ennis scenario. One good thing about cheap foreign lower league punts is they seem easier to move on than Brits, probably down to wages and a willingness to bolt out of England as fast as possible.

They're not going to leave because of people boycotting for the Watford game or even for the rest of the season. They've got the Season Ticket money already. Imo though the only thing that rattles them is them not hitting their appointed targets for Season ticket revenue. (And presumably to a lesser degree, individual matchday revenue.) Which again would be achieved by a boycott. Just as a matter of interest, would you be prepared to consider not renewing your ST next time round in an attempt to try and force them out?

Well, no, you don’t have skin in the game for this particular protest as it’s an ask of people who do go, to not, as you already don’t you are a bystander, sorry. This is a place to exchange views. Unfortunately for you the thread hasn’t been locked after one post of ‘great idea, just get behind the Coalition FFS’. I’m going to do what’s being asked of me on the 24th and I’m a paid up member of one of the Coalition groups, so if I and others want to post an opinion (‘carping’ in your world) on a message board on what could be done differently, what might have been more effective, we will… and others are free to disagree, like Speedie further up, but at least they are doing it respectfully.

Was he blocked from leaving or did he just miss the door.

You might not have used the particular term "winner" before but that's been the gist of all your postings on this topic - that a boycott won't be particularly well supported and that as such it will somehow form some sort of PR victory for the owners. Which I think is absolute nonsense. Stop carping at those who are acting in good faith to try and make a positive difference at the Club. BTW I went from late 1970 to 2022 before finally being worn down by the evident lack of ambition at the Club and from the Coventrio - Waggott Mowbray and Venus. Sorry if that's not "super - fannish" enough for you.

Good riddance! 👋🏻

Lad is made of glass unfortunately, be better suited to somewhere warm and less intense.

I honestly don't oppose the boycott, people can do whatever they feel is right. It does make me wonder though, why it has taken an official one for people to act,i mean come on, they've had 15 years. Also how it is now being seen as some cliff edge, do or die moment, and if you don't comply(not saying that the coalition have said this) you are somehow responsible for the ills at the club. It's absolutely ridiculous. You're right, I obviously do wish they'd go, but I don't think for one second that they'll be forced into it. The result of what's happening, in my opinion, is much more likely to result in a statement confirming their intentions to stay, rather than an intention to leave. If that does happen, you can guarantee that the boycott hasn't helped, quite the opposite.

Every ounce of them just shows that they don't care about us one little bit. Not you, not me, not the town of Blackburn, not the local businesses, not the jobs that a successful team can offer locals. Nothin So all those chanting and cheering getting behind the lads go on Alebiosu .....yea well your new favourite player has been sold for profit. They don't want us to succeed. They don't want to see us do well. Happy to ruin an entire towns pride and historical footballing heritage.

I like the use of the word ‘their’ - speaks volumes.

Another one for the 'twitter' column, don't know if already mentioned but going off a post on there it seems Toths agent expects him eased back in then looking at their options in summer.
