  1. Sadly, Ewood Park has never been renowned as having a hostile atmosphere which is often worth a goal start. Highbury was once nicknamed The Library' because it was so quiet. In the main, Rovers fans are a docile lot at Ewood Park, too little passion and too many happy clappers.
  2. Saw somewhere they've already sold 4,000 tickets which is bad news for Rovers as Mark Robins (he's that kind of guy who wont want to let their fans down) will ensure his side are 'at it' irrespective of whether they have a play-off chance or not.
  3. Any professional footballer, including goalkeepers, should be capable of cleanly striking through the back pass Hyam provided. Pears was not expected to control the ball, take it around any approaching SW player and then produce a defence splitting ball which would create an opportunity for Rovers. All he had to do was launch the feckin ball to an area of safety. It was simply a huge error made even worse by his lamentable efforts to rectify it before the ball entered the net. As for the first goal, being so far out of his goal, he should quite simply have played safe and found touch as clearly Hyam would be under pressure. The bottom line is Pears is a very poor all round goalie with so many flaws in his game it's untrue. Many of us have been saying this since Mowbray brought, metaphorically speaking, one of his 'favourite sons' to the club. Pears has cost us both countless goals and points and should be jettisoned from our club as soon as possible. Sadly, he may have caused our club irretrievable damage.
  4. Damning Gallagher statistics. Underlines the absolute idiocy in not selling him to Ipswich in January for circa £1.5m as well as getting his relatively, for Rovers, astronomical wages off our books. No matter who we might have replaced Gallagher with they could hardly have been as ineffective. Seeing Gallagher in a Rovers' shirt simply makes my blood boil - IMO, he's stealing a very luxurious living from the club.
  5. 3 shots on target and you are getting orgasmic! That stat is pitiful when we desperately needed to win at home against a bottom 3 side. Which defender would be dropped! Feck me, we aren't talking about Real Madrid's back 4. As for our bad was that showing - well I've supported Rovers for 60+ years (decades before you were even a twinkle in your dad's eye) and seen some horror shows - let me tell you, yesterday was utterly abysmal given the importance of the game. IMO, a team of total bottle jobs orchestrated by a USELESS head coach with a dire record since being appointed. Wake up, smell the ☕️ and stop trying to defend the indefensible.
  6. If your goalie is a mistake waiting to happen then it rapidly undermines the confidence of the rest of the team. IMO, after the calamitous third, Sammie wasn't saying to Gallagher we need 2 goals now but rather saying Pears had cost us 2 goals - Sammie must despair after his Herculean efforts this season and I'm pretty certain he will be seen at Ewood in a Rovers' shirt for the last time come Saturday.
  7. For goodness sake Chaddy. Firstly, if folk in the work place performed as poorly as these, IMO, overpaid, overrated, cowardly bottle jobs then bollickings from both colleagues and management could be both expected and justified followed by a swift departure through the exit door. If our 'soft lads' can't stand the heat, which comes with the territory, then get out the feckin 'kitchen' I don't know how you sleep at night constantly trying to defend the indefensible.
  8. Think we are a shambles from top to bottom. IMO, we have a bullsh1t joke of a manager leading a bunch of the most spineless individuals, masquerading as footballers, I have seen in 60ish years supporting Rovers. We won't go down - a point against a knackered and disinterested Coventry is all that is needed. The club needs sweeping clean from top to bottom but sadly, unless the Indian courts bring about our insolvency in August, this will not happen and relegation will almost be inevitable next season. Time for a long walk, a few pints at the local and a nice bite to eat tonight.
  9. IMO, Pears will cost us at least 10 goals a season and countless points. Sadly, the shambolics of Leo make Pears look good in the eyes of the naive and gullible.
  10. Why? Two very poor teams but Wednesday are utter dross. Lumped on Rovers at 8/5 and also stuck £20 on 3-1 to Rovers at 10/1.
  11. We are so poor. A one man team. God help us next season when SS has gone and the sales proceeds have been snaffled up by our owners.
  12. Absolutely nothing to beat here. Three points and safety nailed on
  13. I remember the Owls pretty well from the Jack Charlton era. Their fans didn't half make some noise in the old Darwn End. They were a physical and aggressive team and names like Bob Bolder, Mel Sterland and Terry Curran readily spring to mind. Some good battles were had home and away.
  14. Let's not pretend otherwise, 7,000+ Owls' fans are going to give their team a huge, huge psychological lift and they will be super adrenaline charged. Rovers' fans at home aren't generally the most vociferous. IMO, it's a huge own goal. Told this morning it was on some SW related social media yesterday that we'd had given them a further 400 tickets - sorry but haven't got a link and don't know which media but I'm sure those well versed in social media will find it.
  15. Your support of every Rovers' decision is incredulous. Wharton DID NOT ask for a transfer. We did not need to sell him. Another player relatively 'given away'. If he was still a Rover, we would not still be worrying about relegation. IMO, our club is a complete shit show from top to bottom and the sooner you see the light the better.
  16. Looking at remaining fixtures for those at the bottom, providing we get a point against Coventry, think we will be safe, possibly just on goal difference. 20) Rovers 50 points 21) Huddersfield 50 points 22) Sheff Wed 50 points 23) Brum 48 points 24) Rotherham gone Time for dinner now and a few drinkie poos! Good night!
  17. The way Leeds, Leicester and Ipswich are shaping, you could see Southampton scraping into the top 2. There's no doubt if the Saints 'hit their straps', they could win their remaining games which might just be enough. At the bottom, think Rovers will do only what Rovers can do! Think SW will be too physically strong and intense meaning we need at least a point from the Coventry game to avoid going to Leicester with the risk of the trap door still opening. On paper, we beat Coventry as looks like they will be on the beach, sadly, as we saw today, games aren't won and lost on paper!
  18. Actually, the odds were 19/2 which I agree are pretty ridiculous for 2 teams in the Championship, however, football is a 'funny old game'! To cap it all, had the winner in The National today whilst the wife (who picks her horses by name or if Rachel B is jockey) had a nice each way on Rachel Blackmore's third placed Minella Indo. With Rovers winning as well, will be an enjoyable Saturday night!
  19. Full credit to Eustace and Rovers. Tactics spot on. We stopped Leeds playing to their strengths though their lack of imagination was startling for a team in their position. They didn't knock on the door often enough especially when the ball is not running for you. As for SS, where would we be without him!!!??? Sadly, it's impossible to see him here next season. Really has been mainly a season of shite and today brought some long overdue and welcome respite.
  20. Went for Scheffler pre tournament and seen nothing to change my mind but given my winnings today on Rovers, have already put a cheeky £fiver on both Fleetwood (50/1) and Fitzpatrick (85/1) as they are two very talented lads capable of making 'a charge' as invariably someone does.
  21. Will be picking up a special bottle later today with part of my winnings!
  22. I read the script! Seen too much football over the years not to sense the almost inevitable!
  23. Leeds there for the taking. They are ridiculously ineffective for auto promo seekers with 4 games to go.
  24. Lost count the number of games I've been to and sensed early on Rovers wouldn't score and they didn't! Leeds aren't creating anything and also the ball isn't running for them in the box. Rovers look solid and the time wasting is 'professional'. Get your feet up and open a beer or two or a bottle of wine and relax and enjoy the anguished Leeds' fans.
