What are you on about? The lad has been injured for past 2 months and hasn’t played any competitive football. He’s probably not ready. Ffs the new manager has been here one week and you have him writing people off because they’re injured. Get a fucking grip -
Jon Dahl Tomasson - Officially No Longer Our Head Coach
ossyian replied to Tom's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
I’ve teetered and finally fallen off. After 59 years following Rovers all over the place my season ticket has been binned a couple of weeks ago. Never going on again until they F off (probably pop my clogs before that). Can’t stand it now at Ewood -

That’s it for me this season at least. I’ve lost all hope at this moment for this once magnificent club. Season ticket binned. 59 years attending. I’m done until these disingenuous owners and their yes men leave. Hurting me but I have to walk away for my sanity -

Cos he smiles a lot and has played in the World Cup mitigates the fact that he is a shit head coach. Add in his condescending attitude to everyone who questions him by deflecting his answers to the “new coach”. He wins some people over. Not me. Fucking clueless. He has no fucking idea how to set up a team not to concede. Oh for Howard Kendall -

I think you need to use our local fan base as East Lancs instead of just Blackburn as do Burnley and Stanley. Then you’re talking around 550000 population. Most Burnley fans live in Nelson, Colne and Padiham. Hardly any in the town itself -

Almost right. DE and BBE 8000 each, JW 11000 and Riverside 4500 ish. Hence capacity 31500 or just above or below -

It was usually “Andy Crawford 1 ~0” Game over. Jack didn’t like us or Kendall much did he! Howard Kendall was the best manager in football at Everton in the 80s and was pretty bloody good at little old Blackburn Rovers beforehand. My second favourite in my lifetime after King Kenny. -

Ronnie and Bryan came to my dads pub in Ossy (Tinker and Budget) in 1968/69 on a Tuesday darts/doms night just to push over some pennies on a pint glass. Imagine 2 England internationals doing that now for nowt apart from Garth Dawson taking your pic for Accy Observer! -

Burnden was a horrible place to go in the 70s I got a right kicking at the bottom of them steps outside the away end after a match in 1975. But I remember the 60s when Rovers would take the Leaver End without a punch being thrown. They were shit scared of Rovers Grebo following (most or whom had no connection to Blackburn) who came for a fight! -

ossyian replied to Upside Down's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Yes great to see Trondstadt filling that position we’ve been so obviously missing all season. Could be advantageous now for Adam to do his stuff further forward now we have a midfielder to break up play and protect the defence. Think this set up would suit Bucko much better whom we need to recall in January -

Yes very sad. My true footballing hero as a kid growing up in the 1960s. Didn’t much care about United but Charlton, Law and Best were fantastic. Probs Englands best ever performer was Bobby and so humble with it. Believe he passed up on Utds European Cup win party in 1968 to go and pay respects to his mates and colleagues from Munich who didn’t survive. Speaks volumes about him and his values. RIP Sir Bobby. The football world will never forget him. -

What a pile of shite. The highlights were teamwork, players showing emotion, players caring about individual and team results, playing under immense pressure to the best of their ability. The best team event in world sport bar none. Football has much to learn but never does. Oh and Rovers were crap again making the same silly mistakes time and time again. L1 beckons again. Oh for Howard Kendall “boring”us with magnificent 1-0 wins week after relentless week until the opposition gave up. Don’t think JDT has that in his locker -

Quite right. Hedges is L1 standard at a push. -

I didn’t tar you all with the same brush. But that is how Riversiders were known. Mark Patterson and Jason Wilcox were 2 others who got grief -

It’s been the same since I’ve been going from 1965. It ain’t going to change. Riverside boo boys they were known as then. Nowt’s changed really. -

ossyian replied to philipl's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Sign L1 quality and that’s where we will end up. Having to expect a 19 year old kid to run our midfield is unfair on the lad and disgraceful from up above. They could ruin him before he’s started . Adam is not ready for 40 odd games per season at this level. Let the lad develop in his own time fgs -

If only we had a Bradley Dacks goalpoachers instinct in the squad! -

ossyian replied to philipl's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Too many senior players who are L1 standard in that squad. Hedges,Szmodics, Dolan, Pears, Pickering S Wharton, Gallagher. Plus young kids and Adam performing like a L2 man today. Long winter ahead! Apart from that we are play off certs! I would love them all to prove otherwise btw -

And who replaces them? They have been shit though tbf along with Szmodics
