All Activity

Embarrassing again from us. A whitewash is all they deserve.

The only thing those in charge at Ewood seem to care about these days is the financial bottom line, so if the EFL want to spur us into action then a heavy fine is the way to do it.

according to AI, so it may well be rubbish Accumulation Thresholds Remain: The thresholds for suspension (e.g., 5 yellow cards by a certain point in the season in the Premier League) remain the same. The player who received a caution in the abandoned match is one card closer to the threshold and risks suspension in future games, including the replayed fixture.

I knew the cards counted still, what I was meaning was do abandoned games also count towards the ‘cut off’ points (ie 19 games and 32 games) It would be harsh if a player got a suspension for picking up a card in what is deemed game 19 (because abandonments don’t count) when it was really game 19 + bits of two others. Does that make any sense??

Right in the thick of it and looking nervously over our Shoulder as it stands.

Pretty sure they do, think one of Gardner Hickmans bookings for his recent suspension was against ipswich in the abandoned game.

There is simply no excuse for the debacle. The inevitable sanctions from the FA will only serve to further dismay the already battered and disheartened faithful few, whilst the publicity is just another golden opportunity for those who would revel in our misfortune to have a free hit at our once proud club. The situation cannot go on (but we all know that it will) because the root cause continues to fester like an unpleasant chronic illness. The longer it goes on, the more inevitable it feels that it will become terminal for Blackburn Rovers. I am beginning to believe that this is actually the intention of the absent and despicable temporary landlords in the owners' box. The sooner they are gone, the better.

I wonder if the abandoned games count towards the suspension thresholds. It would be unfair if they didn’t.

It appears not,we just watch this slow motion Car Crash unfold.

We got any form of action at all?

If I was making the decision about the outcome to the game. I would make the game away to Wednesday, a double header. This would punish the Rovers without extra cost to the fans, and would not add any extra fixtures.

Do you believe Nixon Chaddy?🤣

Another released Nixon story saying we will spend money the morning after we're the absolute laughing stock of country. Who would have thought that?

More of the same isn’t it. Since 2010 we have had £6m invested in to infrastructure. That is the round sum of nothing for the size of the Rovers estate We we are seeing consequences at Ewood

Sorry I don’t understand why fans would want us docked points that would almost certainly lead to relegation. Docking us points won’t lead to a change of ownership - or any other positive outcomes. A fine is appropriate

Obviously a basic understanding of hydraulics is not something anyone possess down there.

I would have thought that if the pressure of the water in the river, is greater than the pressure of the water in the drain, position or size of the outflow is irrelevant. Solution, fit a pump into the drainage system

I do wonder if discussions between Rovers and the EFL had taken place following the Ipswich abandonment, regarding Rovers mitigating against this in future. Had any such discussion taken place, presumably The EFL would have had to accept our proposals, which failed spectacularly yesterday. In any case, I'd like to think The EFL would now be demanding Rovers properly invest in the infrastructure with works to be carried out at an appropriate time (the club would likely argue the summer for this). Failing to do so after that time would result in punishments. All depends on if any discussions have taken place. As much as I think the club deserves to be punished, it needs to be given an appropriate chance to rectify the problem.

I'd gladly take administration, a 25 point deduction and certain relegation if it meant getting rid of the venky virus.

Why not? We are a member of the EFL and our playing surface is unfit for purpose. We have been found sadly wanting twice within 3 months. Enough is enough. We should be heavily fined and docked points and I would support that.

If nothing else, it's yet again, another spotlight on the poor ownership we're under to the wider footballing world. For years we just had the line of "WiThOuT vEnKy'S yOuS cOlLaPsE" well now the infrastructure is literally collapsing infront of us. It's dragging these clowns back under the spotlight and people are starting to look beyond the immediate issue, as noted by the Sheffield based Journalist in his article (posted in here by another poster) Their ownership is truly baffling, don't want to invest, attend or have any interest in the club whatsoever. And yet, they still won't sell.

The only toxins at Ewood these days Vinjay are the Owners and their Henchmen willfully destroying us.

Nixon news O'Riordan set to be recalled Pickering set to be loan out Gueye will be move on Looking for younger players and prepare to pay for them

I am not saying that will happen. I am saying that we are more likely to have points deducted, than be given points as the previous poster suggested.
