Oh, was that the reason? I thought Sammie was signalling to Gally "now you and i need to score 2 goals".

I just thought he was telling Pears to fck off!

I was a teenager when Duff left and it really stung me. I haven't had that same feeling about a player leaving since, but I do seeing Wharton in the prem. I'm glad he's doing well, but I can't stand the attention he's getting. He should have been the one we built around to drag us back there. A product of our academy with all the talent in the world and most importantly a Blackburn boy and we've flogged him to the first prem team that looked in his direction. 

Yeah...I am older, but I can trace a line of transfer bereavement..

Newton, Field, Jones, Barker, Shearer, Dunn, Duff, Wharton...

I don’t understand this. As fans we do not deserve to be relegated. We’ve suffered enough. The players and managers deserve an almighty bollocking from the CEO (which won’t happen obviously) but fans deserve better. Much better 

I do.

Those responsible for running the club fully deserve to go down. 100%.

On the field, we are shit because of them.

The trouble is that those running the club don't deserve to be anywhere near Blackburn Rovers.

Of course, the fans don't deserve this.

I don't want relegation, but even if we did survive, which is highly unlikely, more of the same from The Undertaker et al will surely deliver the drop within 12 months anyway.

Fck off, Venky's!!!!

I don't agree with posting abuse online, although I have on occasion told Abbey to 'go away' 🤣

But didn't his wife wage war on Rovers fans, who abused Murphys abject performances online, by posting pictures of her Christian Louboutin shoes! Explaining that her shoe collection would buy a house in Blackburn.

Pairs of ****s and I don't mean the shoes.

In the words of Ena Sharples....."Common!"

If ever a game is shaped by both sides previous match it is this one.

Can Rovers carry on defending well, pressing expertly and scoring freely? In all fairness, the games before Sunderland suggested the defending and pressing were coming back to scratch.

Southampton on the other hand were controlling their game at Ipswich and still contrived to lose so will come to Ewood with a decent backing and win at all costs requirement if automatic promotion hopes aren't going to be extinguished.

Southampton are excellent going forward but their defence is sloppy and vulnerable so we have a chance of making it back to back wins.

Welcome back to Adam Armstrong and Joe Rothwell.

 

....but Rothwell can fck off....just saying...

Good ball in and a perfect header from Dack. Headed down and just to the keepers side. It would have been a pretty good save if he could have kept hold of the ball. But I want our keeper to make good saves. Once it was spilled it was a goal. 
 

if at all possible we want one of our two keepers out in the summer and a better first choice keeper brought in.

Both out from what I have seen...

Between the two of them they've gifted several points directly to the opposition this season it's quite ridiculous for a club of this stature to be so weak in that position.

We are right back to the Steele, Jake Kean level of a decade ago and that's pathetic given how much time it took to get the keeper dept decent again.  Jake didn't cost 800k either and a Simon Eastwood would be number 1 in this set up.

This...and it doesn't half make me angry. How many points have these two cost us this season?!

Talk about spoiling the ship for a ha'pworth of tar...

Yeah, that's pretty damning of GB and Co. The recruitment hasn't been very good at all really.

Bayes is on his (and the club's) case. Good and not before time.

After the January 2023, play-off denying shambles, the recruitment over the next three windows has been pathetic-total shit.

When you consider that we sold Wharton and Kaminski in the last two windows, the quality of recruitment is a mind numbing disgrace.

No amount of management-speak waffle and spin can disguise this awful fact.

If Szmodics says he is fine then he stays on. 

It is that much of a problem really?.

Even if the close minutes he was closing down defenders.  Clearly fine. 

I noticed he was wearing some kind of knee support

The man has always struck me as the sort of guy brought in to deliberately run a Company into the ground whilst it's assets are stripped.

That's why I view him as an exceptionally dangerous person to have around the Club.

Wasn't he called "The Undertaker" by Charlton fans?

Just listened through and the guy certainly talks a good game. The proof will be in the pudding this summer, less talk more signings. And good ones for decent money not some unknown b team players with potential.

I won't be renewing my season ticket until there is some evidence of ambition this summer after the Waggot pre-season surrender last year.

Pedagogy! What does he think we are? A bloody Sure Start project?

Picking through this Paul Senioresque bullshit, one thing stood out.

The small squad thing is a deliberate policy.

We are being asked to believe that this is to allow space for academy graduates( as opposed to saving money) The other thing we are being asked to believe is that this is the roadmap to the Premier League. 

I DON'T BELIEVE YOU!...Blackburn Alexandra is the name of the game!

Don't forget the tennis balls.

The game needs to be stopped for any of this to have any effect.

It may not be necessary to stop the actual game.

I think we need to seek a formula of minimum damage/maximum impact.

That'll be the Mick Rose whose dad was Fred, and brother Peter who both taught at the College back in the day. Not sure if Mick might have retired from the Holly Tree Chippy these days, and passed it on to the younger generation, but I think his missus (or daughter) can still be seen there from time to time..

There are many ex St. Mary's College folk lurking on these pages - you know who you are (in Thailand, Redditch and the like 🙂 ) Some of us have ended up back in Blackburn and let's be honest, there really are a lot worse places to live!
