  1. 3-1 Watford aren't much better, they are just far more organised defensively.
  2. If only we'd invested in some quality defenders instead of out of position strikers.
  3. Elliott is far more effective wide, no idea why Mowbray can't see this.
  4. Yes but Tony didn't buy him for a silly amount of money. The only way you're getting guaranteed game time at Rovers is if the club wasted over £5m on you, you're on loan from a Premier League club or your surname is Bennett or Evans. Otherwise into the tombola you go.
  5. I see the alcoholics on Facebook are on it today. "The "so called" fans should recognise what a great job he's done! His goal wasn't promotion it was progress and that's what he's doing." They clearly can't count. Even if they have the table upside down it wouldn't be progress.
  6. The hope is that the lad is into football and wants to win football matches. But yes it's a poor do when we're hoping that a young lad can come in and do a better job than people 2 and 3 times his age.
  7. Venky's motto - onwards and downwards.
  8. The more I read about the trio of Waggot, Mowbray & Venus the more it smacks of Shaw, Kean and Agnew. https://www.skybluestalk.co.uk/threads/blackburn-selling-off-training-ground.129388/
  9. Reply to JoeH (wouldn't let me directly quote), Jack Walker wouldn't have Mowbray as manager and Waggott as CEO. Arguably both failures in their previous positions. His motto was "think big".
  10. Let's face it chaps, we're waiting to play a team that have a right stinker and make a load of mistakes. A tombola followed by a lottery.
  11. Humans are not infallible. Some learn some don't. Some care some don't. Right now the Bristol board/owners are the opposite of ours.
  12. I reckon they anticipated a flirt with the play offs could have offset some bad will but Mowbray cocked that up and that's why it was hush hush. I still think there's something in Mowbray saying he won't have them training on an artificial pitch (four years later!)
  13. Or it could just be the same people who supported Kean. In the Riverside I witnessed a guy try to initiate a fist fight with the two blokes behind him, with his wife and small child watching, all because one of them shouted Kean out. Nothing more, no swearing or anything offensive. Infact there had been swearing in that section but not from them. The guy with the wife and kid just went mental, accused him of being a Burnley fan then started squaring up. The two guys, I'd say around their early forties told him to calm down and didn't take him on. Another bloke who he didn't seem to know had to hold him back from hitting them. Stewards came, saw the guy was with his family and moved the two guys who had done nothing wrong on despite other fans explaining it wasn't them. Had the two blokes felt like it they could have broken the guy in half but I guess Kean was much more important to this guy, more important than scaring the life out of his kid and his wife. Some people are just gullible, brainwashed or just don't want to face the reality.
  14. I bet they don't even know he's called Steve.
  15. Proactive and ambitious. The opposite of our lot.
  16. Amazing as just under a week ago I saw lots of people saying he wouldn't come to a smaller club in the Championship. It's almost as if they know fuck all and just wanted to run Rovers down.
  17. Agreed but it's their club and they should know what's going on with it. You'd think after what happened with the spiv and his Scottish sidekick they'd have at least kept an eye on proceedings and boned up on the rights and wrongs of football clubs. If rumours are true the only time they exert any sort of energy towards the club is if someone questions whether the manager is doing well or not, which ends in an angry sacking. The average pound shop has a more logical management structure. Their management structure seems to have been adopted from Queenie in Blackadder 2.
  18. I still have no idea why Venkys bought Blackburn Rovers FC if their plan was to basically run up loads of debt and sell off its assets. Have they benefited from it in any way?
  19. Over the years there's plenty of footage of him being interviewed with players playing on those training pitches. Another statement to feather his own nest rather than better the club.
