Chuffed for the lad. Just watched his cameo on iplayer and he really impressed. Playing (& training) at that level is only going to help his club form and confidence. Nice to have something to be positive about for a change.

I imagine ToMo would have been sat there watching with pen and notepad highlighting things he needs to knock out of him when he gets him back to training.

He seems to have disappeared from public view yet again since the training ground shambles.

Not answering the phone from the LT scribe.

Probably off somewhere flogging time shares for Le Brockhall luxury resort and health retreat , plan B 🙂

Surely the most important data for any football club comes from the League table and the list of results. ToMo as already said he doesn't bother with those stats , so little hope for anything else. 

Maybe the recruitment stat lads / scouts could be cunning and present the data by way of different coloured iced French fancies next to players names to grab his attention in between naps.

This is the time of year once again that people learn ,that carrier chickens are nowhere near the level of reliability as carrier pigeons

Rovers loanee Brad Lyons plays through ex Rovers John O'sullivan who earns a penalty for Morecambe in the play offs second half of extra time. 1-0 Morcambe

Final score 1-0 

Well done Morecambe

season ended 3 weeks ago. He should back at the club along with CEO or Senior management team talking to players or their agents or their clubs trying to get deals in or set up deals. 

 

You really are heartless, Did you not read the interview by ToMo the other week? the strain of being half a world away from his  family, surely you will give him 2 weeks to get there spend a couple of days with his family then the 2 week journey back *

*depending how many rest stops the donkey and cart need, its an epic journey

Oops, Didn't look at the start date of this thread , thought it was about the 2021/22 season, still going to vote No, new contract offered after the historic 18 passes strung together in our own penalty area and 1-1 draw that stopped Peterborough's 8 game losing streak to keep us in the Championship by one point .

Next season is the time to prove. We are the pride of Lancashire. 

Hate to say it , but we have to possibly wait until earliest August 2022 to try and attempt that, that is  if our six fingered friends get relegated next season.

Blackpool promoted back to championship. Can't wait home & away.

"We can not compete with teams that have that new owner/ promotion bounce especially when they find a way around our possession precision passing based football by wanting to score more than us, add to that the pressure of a  local  derby "  Tony Mowbray 5.50 pm on the day of the game v Blackpool 🙂

Glad Blackpool won, but wanted it to go to extra time , was a enjoyable game to watch.

I can answer that question

 

No, it costs money

Maybe the tech team will be based abroad  😉  , 

Look forward to dealing with "vincent, no I am based in London , Sir" who is telling me I have a virus on my Rovers TV (joke, I hope)

Has Barry any investments in the tech area? 

Anyway hope its a seamless switch over and pricing remains in the ifollow range.

This has to be one of the most bizarre call ups ever. Great for him though. 

 

Is there a Chillean brand of cigarettes called Brereton's ? (ref: Mike Bassett)

Why is any one bothered about this guy career anymore? 

Because we are still owned by Venky's so there is always a chance of him returning, so worth keeping an eye on him !

Burton O'Brien - 300k (Did he ever play?)

Apparently 1 appearance must have been a cup game because according wiki 

"O'Brien blamed his lack of first-team action on a clause in his contract, saying that a league appearance would mean Blackburn had to pay St Mirren an extra £300,000"

Official ...5 year deal !

Gianluca Pavanello, Macron CEO   “The Macron Hero is our logo that represents dogged fighting spirit, that passion and determination to reach a goal, as well as the exuberance of winning a challenge. "

Wonder if they will have a different logo on our shirts?  representing the not bothered about results , or the league table, instead representing the never ending journey so favoured by our leader ToMo

Sorry, that's ridiculously unfair. Mowbray is the same position as lots of people where the best way they can provide for their family is by accepting an antisocial/long distance job. Not take the job? Fine, but how else is someone who has only ever known football going to earn decent money at his age? Move his family down? Fine, but that means taking his teenage kids out of school, and probably away from literally everyone they know. These are really difficult decisions and he's entitled to miss his kids without the likes of us having a go at him for it. 

 

I wouldn't care but there are more than enough footballing reasons to want TM gone. I don't understand why so much attention needs to be paid to throw away comments he makes when someone shoves a microphone under his nose, especially when it comes to something like this. 

Don't recall him mentioning missing his family and kids when things were going well in the third division and people were blowing smoke up his arse. Same amount of travel time

He also didnt blame supporters picking injured players at that time neither as I seem to recall

Blacksnape for me. You have a wonderful view of Darwen Tower when you are lying flat on your back after being clattered by the opposition centre half (Tyrone?).

What day in the last 30 years was it clear enough to see Darwen Tower from Blacksnape?  You usually couldn't see anything during the footy season because you eyeballs had frozen. 🙂
