Assuming that the BBC is right; XG has us winning 3-1. It wasn't a smash and grab. Give Ismael some credit. 

Our XG all season has been quite positive...We just lack quality uptop. Our friends at Derby are a prime example of smash and grab last time I looked.

Yeah, thanks very much for guiding us to ten points from eleven games.

If goalkeepers can win you matches Toth won that one for us today.

From a website near here…👀

I've got a feeling Toth has to be our 23/24 Szmodics with his heroics ... might need him to score a couple too.

Bit strong - it's only a week since he let the opener in under his body v Coventry.

BBC Sport are an embarrassment. Today on Final Score from the reporter at the match. And I quote "Southampton have have been beaten in a humiliating defeat at Ewood Park". Excuse me BBC but that was 2 shitty teams in the same division trying to prove who was shitter or less shit. I don't think or ever will think that we are classed as giantkillers against a one time trophy winner in the ilk of Southampton, Norwich, etc. Trophies won make a big club. We are one of the biggest. We will rise again after these bastards and their henchmen are hounded out

That’s a one off. He ain’t gonna be perfect every week. Nonetheless he’s been outstanding. Clearly and upgrade on pears

I didn't think you posted it, I thought you quoted a post with the picture in it.

If that comment isn't urging people not to buy tickets,then I'll let others decide.

Top tier isn't open, only open for Dingles and Man United. 

I never said you were wrong about me encouraging people not to go. I do encourage folk to not give the regime their hard earned money for the reasons discussed.

The top tier was closed by the club, therefore if you used to sit in the top tier then you were forced out of your seat with the option of either relocating or stop going. That has absolutely nothing to do with folk not going, that has everything to do with the way the club is being run. 

You say you didn't think I posted the picture, well evidently you did:

In know why they're not going , but you spend all week telling people they're mad for going and urge them to stay away, then post a picture of how sad it looks. 🤦‍♂️

Best you give this up now as it's getting almost as embarrassing as when you proudly proclaimed that you didn't understand what luck is. 

Also, I'm not sure what point you're trying to make here. You say you understand why people aren't going yet seem to look down on those who choose to not go. Just because you pay a small fortune every year to watch the games at Ewood doesn't make you any better or worse than someone who chooses not to. I don't care either way what folk do, it doesn't change the fact that giving money to the club subsidises the owner's costs.

I chose nearly 15 years ago to not give them a single penny and I never have and never will. That doesn't make me any more or less of a fan than you or anyone else (apart from the venky apologists. Fuck those stupid cunts). 

The fact remains that seeing Ewood in it's current state is thoroughly depressing after spending many years there in its prime. 

When these criminals are gone, I'll be there to pick up the pieces with the rest of the Rovers faithful.

Did the ref forget he is always supposed to be biased against us as per EFL mandate?

He did not see Ohashi get mugged.

Yeah 3 points at home against a bottom 5 side with -11 goal difference.  I’m as surprised as you are.

He reads the game better too and acts as the sweeper when necessary.

Not sure what you’re trying to prove @M_Bwe all know what he’s like!

Anyway. I thought we look disorganised again today, huge spaces between and behind us and a chronic lack of final ball! But… the workrate brought us through.

I think 9/10 days, Armstrong buries those chances but you’ve got to praise Toth. He’s more than an upgrade compared to pears!

 

a very welcome three points. First home win at home since April? 

How many times today did our own players get in each others way, it seemed a lot and surely an ominous sign like they don't know their roles.  Happy for the win, ecstatic for a bit, but damn we are poor it hurts my heart to see us now
