That's not what the rule is. If the arm is in an "unnatural position" as defined by being outstretched from the silhouette of the body, it's classed as intentional handball no matter where the ball is struck from. It's why defenders defend crosses with their arms behind their backs. Awful decision from the ref.

 

If it was a Stoke handball you'd be saying the opposite

This is a club in mourning. Please go away.

Just depressing really...

Will finish mid table.

So he doesn't train them in specific fundamentals (as he has admitted), nor does he seem to motivate them... what exactly does Tony do in training?

I really wouldn't mate, I'm a stickler for the rules. Not trying to rub anything in, believe me I know how you feel

To lose to a Stoke side with nothing to play for is a disgrace, he should have been fired at the weekend, he should be fired now, but who would do it?

These owners have destroyed this club and continue to do so.

VENKYS OUT

Hedges has done more in 15mins than Dolan has done in months. Does Mowbray even take training?

Dolan is a circus act. He just twizzles and goes round in circles. My dog has more of a football brain.

Why don't you just go away sexually.

[OldEwoodBlue]

Ok we went behind after 4 minutes.

The worst thing is, we then did nothing for another 86 minutes which may lead you to think we gave a fucking shit.

Let me know when you have a copy of the rulebook in front of you and I'll direct you to the relevant section 😉

[Butty]

Mowbray, Waggott, Venus, Lowe, Benson Johnson and whoever else can all go and if those out of contract don’t want to stay then they can get fucked off with them. 

[OldEwoodBlue]

I dreamt we were second.

12th now in touching distance.

Eltringham gets my MoM for pissing of the Potter.

TBF he was unusually ok today.

[BigBar]

That was a gruelling, painful, frustrating, sickening, unbelievably bad bad bad watch. Feel numb and that's no joke. Utterly depressing and so disheartening. Standard.

[WacoRover]

No emotions left, just another ho-hum Rovers loss

Got to end up one of the worst collapses since it became the Championship. 

Has anyone gone 2nd to 12th before?

Some straight talk...if this situation is acceptable to any Rovers fans who give a damn then your fecking idiots.

We are basically throwing games against opposition Teams with nothing to play for...it's unforgivable!

And as I said, players constantly raise their arms when moving, so it isn't an unnatural position, it's a natural one. One of the few decisions the ref got right (I count the ludicrous booking that I think it was Maja got as one of the poor ones). Take your 3 points, move on.

Why on earth would any of those out of contract players want to stay at a basket case of a club with zero ambition, for shit money?

[AllRoverAsia]

Nyambe is an athlete, not a footballer, who does not have a single clue of what to do when he crosses into the oppo half.

He has something like 7 career assists showing up the crap crosses he rarely puts in.

He usually stops, puts his foot on the ball and passes backwards where the longer the distance the better it seems.

If he cant be replaced then right footed footballers must be going out of fashion.

If you can fine me a Rovers fan that's happy with how things are going at Ewood, besides our resident village idiot, I'll pay you £5.

Gutted to see the club just going through the motions and everybody's time being wasted. Even worse is that nobody will do anything about it. We are left hoping that the arrogant one walks of his own accord. A rotten setup from top to bottom.

There are ups and downs in football, but the capitulation since February and the lack of effort in recent games is a disgrace and an insult to all Rovers fans around the world.

There is absolutely no scope to put a positive slant on any of this or to try and be a super fan on social media by refusing to call things out. Social media image means stuff all, it never has, and especially not when our club is being treated like a joke.

Mowbray said he "doesn't want to be a burden". If he's true to his word, he should resign. Most managers in his situation would.
