v Birmingham City (h) - 16/8/25

[Ghost7]

Never felt such animosity towards the board and the owners before the first home game of a new season. It used to always be an exciting day but due to their continuous negligence the squad is all over the place.

Gestede out

Pasha out

Venky's out!

If you read the article, it says different people will receive these caps throughout the season.

Thanks Parson.

@chaddyrovers You don’t need to like posts replying to me, and then copy and paste it as your own quote too.

It’s part of why you have a reputation of being unable to form or properly defend your own opinions.

Rovers can bring back all the past successful players, managers to hype up the atmosphere. but the truth is the players dont really care and fall short of the quality and standard we should be showing.

4-0 to Birmingham. I hope im very wrong of course.

Newell, Dunn & Mowbray.

I read this without my glasses on and thought it read Cantwell, Dolan and Markanday. Glad I was wrong.

We hadn't lost to Burnley in over 30 years before this lot bought the club but now we haven't beaten them for over 15 years !

I was having this discussion with my son, in the 30 years prior to his birth I’d never seen us lose to them. In the first 10 years of his life he’s not seen us win.

I find the cashing in/using Jack as a deflection tactic being employed more and more the last 6 months. Anytime there is unrest it seems a reference to a time (these lot have no place talking about) when Rovers were something to be proud of is rolled out. It really sticks in my craw

Not Kenny? Tugay? Shearer? Souness?

The fuckwits don't have memories going back further than the last cheque they signed (or the first) and so hold a bastardised concept of what history means for Blackburn Rovers. Expect even more public humiliation and shame as they haplessly and shamelessly scrabble around for anything to deflect attention from their complete and utter disrespecting of our club and community. 

I challenge anyone to come up with a single example of anything that the Rao family have done that has brought anything of positive impact in the 5000 plus days they have held the keys to Ewood Park. They are the football equivalent of long Covid - unpleasant, unwanted, unseen (except for horrible symptoms) and difficult to dislodge.

Time to go, Venkys. The experiment failed long ago, and your continued ownership is the biggest single threat to the future of Blackburn Rovers.

VENKYS OUT!

WORK EXPERIENCE MAGPIE MEGALOMANIACS OUT!

HIDING IN THE SHADOWS INDIAN HENCHMEN OUT!

As for the game, a front 4 of Kyogo, Stansfield, Gray and Anderson terrifies me

💯 agree although I still admire the fact that he'll never be forgotten and we do keep him in the forefront of our minds. 

I know you say these lot have no place talking about him, I honestly don't think it's them so actually take my hat off to those still in the advertising that do mention him often. 

I like seeing his face dotted around and though bitter at the present shenanigans it's nice to keep the good times alive and live in hope that we become the team we once were.

That’s a no-win scenario though isn’t it ?

Imagine a situation in the anniversary year where Jack wasn’t front & centre…we’d all kick off big style wouldn’t we?

[Wheelton Blue]

A debacle on and off the pitch, playing against a side on the up backed by a large following.

The writing is on the wall and it'll get a lot worse before it starts to get better.

I hope that I'm totally wrong, but I can't see beyond an easy away win here. 

0-2
