Was it? I remember not dealing with a long throw, not defending a hoof forward, and a loose pass from midfield.

Pears/ Kaminski.. summer plans?
SBlue replied to NeilInBristol's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
You have two decent defenders, one of them is exceptional at last minute tackles but passes the ball straight to the opposition midfield or plays a teammate into trouble 30% more than the other. Those last minute tackles do save a lot of goals though. Who you picking? A stretched analogy yeah but it’s funny how people act so obtuse as if distribution doesn’t matter. I’m fairly happy with either, but Kaminski was poor for a of last season, throwing in a few Pears would’ve been crucified for - and if he was injured he shouldn’t have been playing. Flip side is, TK would’ve saved the winning goal in the FA Cup semi. DECISIONS DECISIONS -
Consensus seems to be that Chansiri must have given him a paltry budget to rebuild their ageing squad coupled with unrealistic expectations so he's walked. 40 odd days out from the start of the season, no manager or coaching staff, no head of recruitment (left last week for Blackpool), and only 14 senior (league one level) pros. They'll do well to stay up this year imo. Never know though, the owner might have something up his sleeve. Recent history makes this doubtful, however. "Venky's of the Sea"

23/24 kit; is a new sponsor needed?

When your peer reviewed study is published I suggest you send it directly to Public Health England and the NHS. If anybody suspects any retailer of illegal activity please report them using the information provided here - https://www.citizensadvice.org.uk/consumer/get-more-help/report-to-trading-standards/ That’s all from me. (can’t say I’ve ever been a fan of the TW logo, mind) -

Season ticket prices would've been bumped up even further if we got promoted? With that windfall I would have expected them to be subsidised! Ass-backward strategy imo. We've got 20,000 seat to fill, a new generation of fans to engage. So short sighted that it almost seems cynical. Also, how many female toilets actually are there? What kind of run rate would sanitary products experience? To imply that we can't offer that because it's potentially cost prohibitive is a bit dubious. -
Jesus Christ lighten up. It’s a bit of fun. The only embarrassing thing is your reaction.

Oh right. Probably not then. Got me hopes up! -

Has been linked with Prem jobs so maybe out of our league but surely Gregg would be having a word with Kjetil Knutsen from Bodo/Glimt? Hear he's highly rated. -

SBlue replied to NeilInBristol's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Honestly don't think he's that bad that I'd stop going to games. Maybe just me then. -

SBlue replied to NeilInBristol's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
He is. But that much better that you'd get a refund on your season ticket? 🤯 I think Pears is ok. Not great but ok. If TK doesn't want to stay past the end of his contract then I can see the logic with trying to get a profit now. -

SBlue replied to NeilInBristol's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Usually we'd just let him leave for nothing, so that's an improvement. Kaminski is a good keeper that can command a fee, but he's certainly got better in some eyes while he's been out. Can't imagine wazzing in a season ticket if he was sold. Maybe a bit of an overreaction there. -
There'll be lads and lasses in their teens and 20s that follow Rovers where Graham and Diaz are amongst the best players they've ever seen represent us. Give them their moment, it's all good "engagement". Wish Ben all the best & hope he does well in Spain, it's a cracking story and on his day he was great for us.

Did look shot at in the last 5 or 10 minutes, but I’m not surprised - he was everywhere. Potential to be world class.

The signings of Hyam & Szmodics would suggest it is possible. Just a different area of the pitch. -

I think BRFCS should just put WE WON or WE LOST on a big banner on the homepage and save us all the trouble -

Second half certainly, until they scored, but I’m a hopeless optimist and forget we couldn’t finish us dinner. They might have defended better, because they had to. We didn’t have to because they had little attacking threat. We had more. So yes and no. -

We’re operating at, and aiming to operate at a totally different level than we were five years ago. Get Dom Samuel in. -

SBlue replied to Upside Down's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
No, but I’m terms of performance, passing, intent, control, tactics. The thing that gives a team an identity and the platform to consistently win games rather than just scab a few with a Diaz. We are going in the right direction. It’s been a good season. Doesn't feel like it at the moment mind. -

It’s handball. But can’t expect that to be given at this level, at that speed etc. It is what it is. Would rather try and focus on the performance.
