[Archived] Venky's, including Mrs D., in town this week ?

[Gally]

A saint is he? From Wiki........ "Peter Coates, director of Bet365 and a lifelong supporter of the British Labour party, has donated hundreds of thousands of pounds to the party. One particularly large donation coincided with the relaxation of gambling legislation and the lifting of a ban on television advertising by the Labour government.^[17]"

Not exactly on topic, but the donation was made well over a year after the bill was passed, hardly coinciding when you consider he's made lots of other donations over a long period.

I try not to judge on appearance but he looks like such a drip.

[Rover_Shaun]

Hopefully the bin man will get stuck in snow and Bowyer can take charge on Tuesday

would you have him in your house building shelves?

[K-Hod]

The only good thing that happened on Saturday was one of the Venk's getting hit in the face with a snow ball.

And I had a front row seat

good reply from both mark and dan, short and precise.

Not quite sure how this warranted an article of fan comments on it at all to be honest

[Billinge End Blue]

At 4pm tonight, two stretch grey Mercedes drove over Revidge Road in the gently falling snow, seemed like Mrs D in the rear one. No snowballs were thrown. Perhaps heading to Brockhall from Ewood?

Are they finally getting round to 'changing their baby'? Even with all the Kean wet-wiped away there is ongoing serious nappy rash at BRFC!

The relationship between the owners and fans has been always been bitter ever since Venky's took over the club.

Well that's a lie.

[Amo]

Well that's a lie.

Mmhm. Little bit of spin in that article *shock horror*

Most fans were open-minded about Venky's taking over and things only kicked off when they backed Kean unconditionally.

[Stuart]

Sounds like the "R" word could be about to rear it's ugly head again.

No, not that one...!

I think some people shold grow up, yeah the snowball thing has blown out of proppotion since it was only a snowball but it ain't clever or funny. Snowball fights are lots of fun, when two or more people join in the game and throw handfulls of snow at each other, good fun. When getting hit in the face by a snowball when you are least expecting it and trying to go about your own business is definately not fun, when someone would do this to an elderly man or your own grandad then that definaetly is not fun or clever unless you don;t have a brain cell. If thats going on whilst some people are continually shouting f-ing scum! you f-ing scum!, then some people really need to get a life, I'm angry about whats happened to rovers, I would boo no problem or shout 'you don't know what you are doing' thats fine but when fully grown men vent their spleen by effing and blinding at someone than they need to find more in their life and not rely on brfc so much, and try to act in some small way as role models to the children around them or at least have a little respect.

Sorry, I'm still laughing at the fact Robert Tressell popped up immediately afterwards!

Bad timing Robert.

But please don't compare my grandad to Mr Desai...

[Robert Tressell]

haha, sorry if i ruined that for you, it was more a response from trawling through the last few pages.

Southampton fans need to follow the example of those at Blackburn or the very soul of their club will be in danger.

He's not an old man. He's only in his 50's. Quite young in this day and age. Pity it hit him and not his odious wife.

Not sure I agree with this. You can't compare the situation at Cardiff or Southampton to us. We're pretty much unprecedented in terms of owners coming in and absolutely wrecking a club from top to bottom.

It's a bizarre decision by the owner to change manager, but Southampton otherwise seems fairly well run and the owner there has brought them success. Similarly, whilst Cardiff have endured some changes to the image of the club, they're experiencing success.

What success have we had? None. We suffered the most demented, clueless manager in history for nearly two years, got relegated, watched all the club's competent staff leave and be replaced with utter cretins, been treated like dirt inside the stadium, been lied to over and over again by almost all members of the club ...

Southampton and Cardiff have a longgggg way to go before they can begin to fathom what this club has been through and continues to go through.

Sorry, but in any day and age, 50's = old.

[Stuart]

You won't think that when you get there!

[forumquizmaster]

Sorry, but in any day and age, 50's = old.

Its all relative. Anyone with elderly parents would look at photos of them when they were in their 50s and think how young they were back then. When I was 30 I would have said 50 was old. Now I'm nearly 50 I don't think so at all.
