Pointless from the owners perspective because they have no ambition, therefore it was a waste of time hiring JDT/Eustace and his staff. Might as well have kept Mowbray as the limit of their ambition is keeping us in the division.

I found it a little concerning that they said they tried to get someone else to cover him on Saturday but the rota was set, they should not be even trying to bow to them. There is no world where the club doesn’t back down if the LT stay firm

I think this does does exactly that. Come Saturday if it’s raining heavy again, and we're 2-0 down to Stoke, if I'm VI I'm telling my centre backs to go find a puddle and make sure a short pass sticks. Even if there's very few puddles and standing water on the pitch, it's mainly playable, I'd be pointing them to the one big one, and saying - 'Go splash around in that!' I.e. Shenanigans. If I know we're going to have to come back another day and start from 2-0 down, I wouldn't bother. What's the point. Might as well carry on and see if we can get the conditions to help us bag a goal and get back into it. I.e. No shenanigans. I actually can't see how coming back another day to play out a match can be used to someone's advantage, either side. Maybe if your team is knackered during gameplay and the rest might help. But the other side is going to be rested too.

Not really because both JDT and JE performed better than Mowbray under reduced circumstances in a shorter space of time.

I thought it was entirely the wrong decision, and Im surprised we havent appealed but you're right, from a purely footballing perspective there's no point whatsoever harking back to it or bemoaning our luck -we just have to get on with it. You're also correct that the over-riding problem is the insufficient drainage and the negligent upkeep of the infrastructure at Ewood in general.

Go Get after it early tonight, weve had 2 setbacks recently time to bounce back. COME ON YOU BLUES 🔵⚪️🔵⚪️

Cool it. You can disagree and have an opinion one way or the other, but you can't be so confident in your own position. They do it in other leagues, and it's a rare enough occurrence that relying on 'precedent' is really solid ground. Just let other people be frustrated by what was an undeniably frustrating sequence of events. Not only that, but regardless of how confident you are in the EFL's correct decision, there's also no denying the fact that Rovers got the short end of the stick in every aspect.

If they normally train later for an evening kick off it's not a problem. If they dont I think it's out of order. His birthday was on Sunday. Can't see what was stopping him getting back in time for training on Monday as usual - if all else failed he earns more than enough to have hired a private jet. Of course if we win tonight it'll be completely forgotten about, if not it's another stick to beat him with.

Waggott was a rubbish CEO if you wanted an ambitious club, but he was absolutely perfect for Venky's. Lunacy to get rid of him from their perspective. Same goes for Mowbray tbh. Perfect manager for their level of ambition, absolutely pointless letting him go when he would have quite happily stayed.

If you think it's acceptable then good for you.

It simply is an issue if - as suggested - staff are unhappy with it. It's not that deep to you.

report from the 3-3 draw last night

I think you’re probably on your own on that one

its not that deep and quite pathetic some fans cant accept it

I don't understand why its chaos, they are coming back to play a game of football whether its 10mins or 90mins. Just playing what is left with 11 vs 10 and at 1-0 is perfectly doable and would have been the fair outcome. Just because something hasn't been done before is no excuse to never do it in the future.

All the above have been denied by Elliott and the LT.

Well I do, as I read that link I just posted, which explains it.

No it doesn't, he needs to run as long as it takes to get these shysters noteriety in the public eye, big time!

Well I do, as I read that link I just posted, which explains it.

You've told me that I've been wrong for having an opinion for years now, calling me a conspiracy theorist and many other things simply for offering a view. Yes they could have set a new precedent. And it would have led to all sorts of chaos in future. That's why it has never been done before in a century of football, because as 'unfair' as the decision is on Rovers it is the only outcome that works and ensures fairness in the long run. My only criticism is that it took them a while to make their minds up and inevitably we are now going to wait until November or beyond for the game to be rearranged. As far as I am concerned it should have been replayed last Tuesday or Wednesday and bollocks to whether that was inconvenient for Ipswich or their fans.

but we don't know what these certain things are.

Tempest in a teacup mate.

Oh sorry, I thought you had just posted that you didn’t know what Elliott and the LT had done, for the club to ban them, but seems like you did actually know then.
