You, Chaddy, don't own the club.............unfortunately!! We have these stay-away owners who know nowt about running a football club. Who in their right mind would want to come to manage Blackburn Rovers with owners like these? Most other clubs have owners who know how to run a football club and at least show an interest in what is going on. Look at Wolves, Burnley, Palace, Leicester, oh I could go on and on. Time for Venkys to show an interest or sell to someone who CARES.

So when PNE complain to the FA about Stoke tapping up their manager Stoke can say Alex Neil? Who's Alex Neil? We were always after Michael O'Neil. Good excuse! ?

I saw him queuing outside the Jack Walker stand for an under 23s game or a youth game when he was still with us. I said to him, "Are you injured or what?" He looked at me and his face became angry and he shouted," He won't pick me, will he". No wonder he left us to further his career. Good luck to the lad, I say.

I watched the game too. Diaby was the one Barnsley player I thought was awful. I watched him, mainly in the second half, and thought I'm glad we have Nyambe and not this donkey. Funny how views differ.

Walton is better than Leutwieler. Two poor keepers. Does anyone think that Fisher, if he were available, would be any better?

But that first game amazed me where Celtic couldn't get out of their own half for long periods. How we didn't win that two-legged tie is beyond me.

You meant to say "Two wrongs and a right is better than three rights"? Think about it.

I hope that's a copy of an email you've sent to the Venkys, Gumboots.

So that, Herbie, explains why Mowbray HAS to go. He keeps playing those stupid plumbers on the football field and hasn't learned his lesson yet. God! I wish we had a plumber like Tommy Finney on the field.

People talking of bringing back Hughes. He would have to select a new backroom team if he did come back. Might not be the same.

Compare that to the Cowley brothers of Huddersfield who were bouncing around and up and down shouting encouragement the whole game. Chalk and cheese.

This is so in national fixture lists such as in newspapers. Check the Rovers programmes of 40 years ago where the fixture list gives games home and away. Rovers score always first. Im looking at a Rovers programme v Man Utd FA Cup 5th round 15/2/85. The fixture list in the programme gives our opponents in bold type for home games. Sept 22nd Notts County (non-bold type and therefore away) 3-0 scorers Lowey, Thompson, Garner. Oct 10th Oxford Utd away Milk Cup 2nd round 2nd leg 1-3. scorer Garner. Oct 27th Man City away 1-2 scorer Brotherston. Seems always putting home teams score first on Rovers fixture list is a modern change. Sorry to go of thread?

We're gonna thrash North End tomorrow. Haven't you read the script? One of our goals will be Bauer O.G.?

Is Ben Gladwin still on the books? According to Wikipedia he is, although it states he signed a two year contract which ended in June 2019. I cannot find him on the Rovers' site; in the first team squad or the development squad. Has he just vanished into thin air? Is that Rovers to lose 2-0? We Rovers fans always put Rovers score first.

PNE will lose tonight.

Injured (allegedly)

We are going to win this. You watch.

No chance the loons in Pune will sack TM. Unfortunately.

Referee is Darren England. I seem to remember him being a shocking ref at Ewood last season.

No and don't intend to get it. I thought there may be a one-off charge to watch this game.

Sky can shove their red button up their Jaxie. Want me to upgrade an extra £18 per month. Bollox to them. I'll listen to Radio Lancs.

Mowbray has never won a game at St Andrews against 4 other managers; Bruce, Hughton, Clarke and Monk according to BBC stats.

Earlier in this thread someone said Holtby was limping badly on Saturday after the game.

What is the red button? Never used it before. I presume it's a Sky channel and they will make a charge for using it?

Holtby may be injured. If so he won't be in the squad. If he's on the bench I'll be livid.
