Amo Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 In 2000+ posts I have tried to be balanced and fair. Be ashamed for using that word. Disgraceful language. You live in a different age. Mercerman was only using it in the same context as 'moron' or 'imbecile'. He wasn't intentionally mocking the handicapped. He's apologised and that should be the end of it.

He's apologised and that should be the end of it. I've just seen his apology. Retard is unacceptable nor in the same range of the words you suggest. It isn't the end and the word should be banned.

Backroom DE. Posted June 2, 2015 Backroom Share Posted June 2, 2015 I wouldn't swap Bowyer for McDonald. The latter's only proper stint in management ended in him being sacked after a year. If we're going to replace Bowyer I want somebody with a track record of some kind, not another assistant/coach who may come good. We've taken enough gambles already. Good luck to McDonald at Blackpool, quite frankly he's going to need it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck to McDonald at Blackpool, quite frankly he's going to need it. Have to agree with this. What suggests McDonald would be better than Bowyer? If he is rated why has he taken a job at the worst run club in football? I can see Bowyer is not perfect but to suggest McDonald is better than Bowyer after getting binned by Carlisle and now needing go to a basket case club for a top job is daft.

Jock Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 The Chelsea game in the cup when he was in charge was a cracker. Didn't a square head miss a pen for them? One of the last exciting games at Ewood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

onlyonejackwalker Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 Seems a tad strange him going there. I know he's happy up north however. Maybe a win win situation in some respects for him. Be interesting to see how he gets on. Best of luck to the lad. He did us no harm and was seemingly hardworking, professional and conscientious.

Jock Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 Private land, could be why no charges I suppose ?That could be his defence.I was also told that you can have a shotgun in a public area if there's no shells in it and the break is open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gav Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 The clubs going nowhere under Oyston and whilst I think the family have done a decent job its clearly time to go now. The Blackpool fans are doing the right thing, keeping the club in the press, stopping the game was a master stroke, its mentioned weekly in the media and now they've got a bid together to tempt the owners. What are we doing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davulsukur Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 Good on the Blackpool fans. Unfortunately Gav, Venkys have made Rovers pretty much unsellable. Only an incredibly wealthy Rovers fan would be willing to stump up the required millions to buy the club, clear the debt and take on the running costs.

What are we doing? We aren't doing anything to rid ourselves of the Loons. It has been easier for Blackpool fans to put the heat on Karl Oyston as he actually attends matches and also lives in Waddington. Singing songs about Karl Oyston and Amanda Thompson in front of his wife has probably brought it all to a head 😄. Can you imagine the awkward silence at the dinner table after that.
