I had no idea the other Messageboard existed! It's a shame that posters over there don't feel comfortable posting their different views over here. I think we need to ensure that we are respectful of other views. I wonder whether sometimes people mistake someone disagreeing with them in a measured polite way as being offensive because they don't like being questioned, but personal insults etc are not really acceptable. I am concerned at how divided the fanbase is as this greatly reduces the impact of any protests and I obviously feel we need to do everything we can to rid ourselves of these horrendous owners. I do understand the opposing view and respect it though. I can see where they are coming from that they pay the bills etc but I just feel we are eroding as a club under their neglectful (albeit they do the bare minimum) ownership and I cannot see this trend being reversed whilst they are in charge. You only have to attend Ewood and witness the general malaise of the fans and the progressive dereliction of the facilities to see this. I read a post over there about fans being 'entitled' who want the owners out....this might be the case for some, but personally I would take a relatively poor owner who is engaged and L2 football than the current footballing purgatory we find ourselves in. If wanting owners who care and the return of a passionate fanbase regardless of the league we are in is entitled then I'm guilty. The other fairly annoying comment I read was about members on this Messageboard being 'lefty liberals' and not allowing free speech. I wonder how welcomed my comments would be if I signed up and defended migrants in the 'migrant watch' thread. Free speech works both ways.

U18s with fairly strong side today away at former dingle Dean Marneys Stoke updates Holt Wilkinson Decandia Kelley-Quinn Pates Vare Dunn Mbonzale McCoy Flynn Higgins Subs - Joseph, Ball, Sergeant, Cryer

They should be given the vast amount of money and wages invested by the US owners. They seem to be making their way up the league, which in my opinion is probably the weakest for a very long time, but we have played them twice already and were the better team on both occasions. Notwithstanding this, our record at Portman Road is lamentable, think Kenilworth Road returns, and so I expect we could well get a reet hiding today 🙈

Hello pal, hope you are well. The last time I thought we'd never score was Charlton at home, we of course scored 2! So i'm not falling for that Ricky 🤣 But you're probably right, good side Ipswich too.

I feel a bit of fake giving advice to someone going through such a life changing experience, as I've personally not been through it myself. But what I can say, is someone very close to me was given only 10% chance of survival when diagnosed out of the blue with ‘C’. This person thankfully is still with us today, 10yrs later and I’m 100% convinced staying positive, exercising in her case where she could, and just cracking on with things, helped this person immensely. It sounds like you’re adopting the same approach DeeCee. I hope you don’t think I’m preaching here and as you know, K-Hod rightly says above, we are all behind you pal.

Have you seen the line up Gav? A battling draw at best I reckon. Not convinced there’s any goals in that team based on recent form.

Safe trip @Parsonblue and to the rest of the fans making the 500 mile round trip. This could be one of those games that we sneak a result, I hope, for the travelling fans, we do just that. Ipswich 1 Blackburn 1

Well, here we are 3 months and another scan later and it seems the immunotherapy hasn't worked out. My tumour has again grown and also lymph nodes appear to be affected. Next stage is a head scan, another consultancy and to sign consent forms then a course of chemotherapy (every 3 weeks for 21 weeks). Another scan after that will be, I fear, most revealing 🤔

I know football is bonkers but there's a 15 year old doing the rounds on social media. Ty Livesey - for scoring 70 this year.

It warms my cold, black heart to see Palace get picked clean in the transfer market.

Mr Thenodrog.....Mr 'Lancashire Utd' How could we ever forget.God bless him.

The Palace fans are correct Unless they are avid viewers of Championship football, I am not sure that the Brighton fans will have seen too much of him to form much of an opinion either way, he has only ever played 19 minutes for Brighton over 2 sub appearances and one of those appearances was only for a minute

Living on the south coast just along from Brighton, I'm mainly surrounded by Brighton and Crystal Palace fans. The Brighton fans don't rate Cashin at all. The Palace fans still think we sold Adam Wharton too cheaply.

I said 9-0 Ipswich on my rover predictor 🤣

500+

You going mate? How many we got heading to Ipswich

James Brown And The Famous Flames - I’ll Go Crazy

Are we ruling Mercers info on a potential bidder as either false or that they have been told “no - not for sale” (the latter seems to be the common case), given we’ve just spent a few million in the January window (something we never do)

Jesus

On the bonus side if Toth looks good today keeping us from a hiding his value is looking good..... Got to get with the Ewood way of thinking.

8-0 Ipswich.

Likely to be plenty of shots on target from the Tractor Boys XI.

I didn’t even know that group existed tbf. Had a quick nose this morning and obviously the first thing I did was search my name. I actually come out of it ok lol. I did have some decent debates with Drog and hoped I’d never over stepped the line as a mod as I always tried to be fair. He seems to feel the same. I’m not saying I always got it right as no mod ever will. You have to make judgement calls that will in no doubt upset someone. I’m not a huge poster on here anymore but I’ve been around for a long time. Pretty sure Grooby was the first person to make me a mod back in the late 90s. I’m sure it was when I was still at uni but could be wrong. I have no bad feelings towards anyone over there. I’ll have a nose through the posts as I enjoy reading rovers related content even if I don’t post a lot.
