Bet John Eustace never even thinks about us now, but at least we waved some snakes at him while he beat us twice. 

Our fans are idiots for targeting him and our owners are even bigger idiots for forcing him out. 

He had the last laugh when he sent Brum down after they ditched him, wonder if he'll laugh when we're down. Probably won't care if he gets Derby into the playoffs.

To be fair to our fans (I didn't or wouldn't wave a snake!) human nature is to lash out. If you have something to lash out at in front of you, or thousands of miles away who couldn't give a toss, people will pick the physical being. Rightly or wrongly.

I went to Derby away last season and it was one of the worst days I've ever had as a Rovers fan, up there with the three relegations I've seen and the losses to Burnley, probably more embarrassing as well tbh. We had the pissed ripped out of us for 90 minutes non-stop by the home fans and then all our players went up and started hugging Eustace at full time. There was some Rovers players sat in with the away fans as well who looked mortified.

Away end is bouncing at Bristol, players showing a real togetherness and a club so obviously on the up.

To think just over a year ago that was us, it's fucking heartbreaking really.

The club was never on the up. There was a togetherness within the playing staff and fans etc but the club has not and never will be on the up under venkys.

Totally get your point and massively agree that it is embarrassing and something I wouldn't do. I just can't dig out fellow fans for expressing their frustrations in a way I don't agree with.

No, it's embarrassing. They should use their own eyes and brain (if they have one) and get angry with what has been happening right in front of their faces for 15 fucking years.

Their behaviour was completely and utterly cretinous and embarrassing, and they deserve all the shit they get given for it. 

As the old saying goes, if you don't want to get called an idiot then don't fucking be one.

[Rover down South]

Despise their fans for the way they took the piss. Given our circumstances with our owners you’d hope they’d feel a bit sorry for us!!

Always said I wish John Eustace well. Thoroughly enjoyed that short period he was here. Despite all the shit behind the scenes he galvanised the players and fans alike.

Club should have backed him no question. 

A lot of credit to Trav as well. When he was in the team here last season it clicked. Same happening there.

I have often thought fan vs fan will be the end of this club, up against billionaire owners. I stand by it.

[JHRover]

The perfect Venky master plan is coming to fruition.

Our 150th anniversary plagued with failure and embarrassment, probably relegation to League One whilst the manager and players we needlessly forced out sit in the top 6.

It isn't an accident, it isn't bad advice, it's unforgivable.

Don't really know why anyone gives a shit about him one way or the other. 

He's become an obsession with some people on both sides of the argument.

He's the perfect example of everything wrong with this football club. He is the proof that it is the owners that are the problem. Why wouldn't you be bothered that a capable, up and coming manager left a club in 6th place to join a club who were bottom of the league. Then 12 months later, the clubs have completely switched places? 

That's why people like me keep bringing him up, we're not obsessed with him, I've nothing against him, he seems a decent bloke and he's obviously a good manager. We bring him up because his last year and a half in football sums up the last decade and a half at Ewood Park.

Because he was shunted out because he possesses the one thing the hierarchy have never possessed in the last 15 years - ambition.

And if it has to be pointed out indirectly by bringing him up to some of our bone headed fans who thought he was the devil incarnate then so be it - they have got the club they deserve.

[John]

I always keep an eye on the managers and coaches who did well with us - from Sparky, Souness, Eustace, etc. I’ll always be grateful for the good and better times.

As for Eustace, fair play to him. He’s a hell of a lot better than the sack of **** Ismael we have to put up with.

I honestly don't understand the logic that some fans deserve what has happened. 

What has any fan actually done which has caused the downfall of the club ?

I can't say that any fan has 'caused' it.

What I can say is that there is still a section of fans who actively support a regime that has caused nothing but misery. So called supporters that have physically threatened protestors and so called supporters that partake in pile ons on social media and on the LT comments to anyone anti Venkys. 

To me that is a validation of shit ownership despite all of the evidence smacking them between the eyes and, yes, through that validation they have the club they deserve and I make no apology for saying it.

It always ends up fan v fan.

No doubt if Venkys left and the new owner took us out of existence, it would be blamed on those who boycotted. Obviously it wouldn't be their fault, but they'd be beaten with that stick.

It's opinions on a computer screen and people have strong opinions, but they don't really affect what happens, not really. 

[London blue]

At what point do the people in charge take a step back and consider the fact that they've really fucked things up?

They won't. They've no self awareness, dignity or respect. 

Just selfish toddlers that's all they are.

[DE.]

Eustace bet on himself in a massive way when he left us in a top six position to take on what appeared to be a hopeless situation at Derby. Fair play to him, he was 100% right to make that choice. 

That kind of ambition and courage is frowned upon here. It has been since the day Venky's arrived. It seeps down from the top to the bottom of the club. It's why our squad always ends up as nearly-men when push comes to shove. It's why even with our massively superior team we couldn't come top of League One. It's why we have never been able sustain a top six challenge. It's why we're heading down this season. 

You get brief spells of things going well, but it can only ever be a limited period as the crushing weight of the owners' malaise ultimately poisons everything.

The Snakes bollox with Eustace was orchestrated by people within the Club with a grudge to bear.

Yet another embarrassment.

I’ve been embarrassed about our club so many times under Venky’s ownership, but our own fans waving inflatable snakes at Derby away- that was not a highlight, I’ll be honest.

[RevidgeBlue]

That "snake" Eustace eh?

Instead of vying for play off contention with Derby this season he could have been managing us in League 1 next season.

On less money.

What a mug.

Still, some of our fans waved inflatable toys at him after he tried to stand up in vain for himself, the players and the overall good of the Club.

That'll show him!

Not exactly - the higher percentage is definitely more from  one side than the other despite factual everyday evidence weighing strongly and in favour on the other sides views

yes all out in the open and in front of the whole world nothing hidden just everyday fuck ups and disregards ( especially against the fans) constantly .. and yet still people can't see it -  this is what does not form any logic or common sense.

And if things  do start ramping up and most can unite together  as much as possible  it will make a difference as it will start to force issues at some point

Rovers will remain in existence, as many have said they would rather drop and get rid of the poison and cretins within the club  with owners and people ( regime) who care  and turn it back to the  club/team worth supporting.

 What is there at the moment is  not the ' Rovers; most of us know and have been supporting  from each individuals own start point .

Everyday is an embarrassment and nothing to be proud of.

WONKYS  AND THE USELESS POISONOUS  ENTOURAGE OF CRETINS OUT
