I listened to the post match hour long show yesterday and I did find it very weird how he always just calls us 'Blackburn' and I really don't like it at all. Maybe he is trying not to sound biased, but that shouldn't be a problem as every pundit on there is picked for their affinity to the local clubs.

You would think someone local who played here almost his entire career would know different. 

Weird, but you do you I guess. It's just the people who want to bang on like it makes you any less of a fan or is somehow offensive to us that irritate me.

Does it bollocks 'require' him to refer to us that. If we were playing Tranmere or Doncaster, sure, otherwise of course he could refer to us as Rovers if he wanted. Like it's gonna stipulate in his contract he has to call us Blackburn!

He calls us whatever he feels like because it doesn't matter for shit. Blackburn, Rovers, we are both. All I agree with is he is a proper Rover and loves the club.

 For someone that "agrees" you might want to get out of that E Lancs bubble.

My son won't be there you'll be glad to hear. He's a jinx. He gets the very odd game in when he visits. Norwich last home game. Previously Hull City a couple of years ago.....we lost. Before that Doncaster Rovers in the league cup......again we lost. He cannot remember seeing them win at Ewood.

Here's hoping for our first home win of the season.

My grandson is a bit like that, however he has seen us win occasionally.

That doesn't seem to make any sense in response to what I said.

It’s because he’s been part of pro football since being about 8 years old, he’d have been surrounded by pros at the club all saying that.

If he’d just been a fan with his Grandad I doubt he would… still should though, just sounds wrong with an east Lancs accent.

I heard Stuart Metcalfe say "Blackburn"...and he was Rovers through and through.

I think this is what the yanks would call a nothing burger...
