If we do go down this season I’m not convinced the current lot are good enough to get us back up either. Edited October 19 by Tyrone Shoelaces 2 Quote

Upside Down Posted October 21 Posted October 21 (edited) Don't know if anyone else has read this, not about Rovers specifically but it highlights how much of a proper football town Blackburn is and how pivotal the town was in the development of the game. https://www.thefootballhistoryboys.com/2023/09/blackburn-olympic-footballs-most.html?m=1 Edited October 21 by Upside Down 2 Quote
Members rog of the rovers Posted October 23 Members Posted October 23 Things get so existential when Rovers are on a bad run, particularly under the current regime. This song has been in my head all week, its hauntingly nostalgic tone and Ol Blue Eyes singing his heart out. Has struck a cord, particularly the lines "Cos the old team just isn't playing...and the new team hardly tries. And the sky has got so cloudy, when it used to be so clear." The 150th Anniversary is almost making it all worse!! This time will pass.......he says in hope! 1 1 Quote

It's strange because in my head I'm watching the game sat in the stands ...but it black and white. The old boys playing their hearts out...grainy images of moustached gentlemen heading a ball, thousands of people crammed in waving their hats... then the pitch is empty. The stands are empty. Right back to work. Possibly the worst week in a while for a Rovers fan 2 Quote
