  1. Season after season with that awful feeling of hopelessness. Struggling to find words not used for year after year. Waggott and Venkys the cause of it all. No matter how bad the team was tonight, it isn’t their fault.
  2. Should we just stick at nil and go home?
  3. Is this girl commentator a Stoke fan?
  4. Is this meant to be a comedy show? Never seen anything like it.
  5. Just shows to me how little they understand Rovers fans. there’s only one way to increase attendances and that’s by sustained success on the pitch. Once fans become disillusioned about the club they leave. It doesn’t matter what price season tickets are. When they leave, they’re gone. They won’t come back. Trying to entice youngsters to come down to Ewood to replace those elapsed fans - rather than be armchair Man U fans again relies on success on the pitch. That doesn’t happen overnight either. Wish John Williams was here. He understood the fans. The worst single decision Venkys ever made was to allow him to leave rather than listen to him.
  6. Rovers fans aren’t the most dissenting group of fans. All that will happen is that ST’s will fall to their lowest possible level along with the gates. All the local kids will become ManU or Liverpool fans. Just as it happened after the 1960 FA cup final tickets affair. In other words, Venkys will take us from being a successful Premier League club back to where we were at our lowest point. If they don’t F off, that’s what will happen.
  7. Waggott and Venkys. shouldnt be in football.
  8. I’m not sure what you’re basing your view on, that we wouldn’t have got more for him. The longer we’d have kept him, the more his talent would have become apparent to every club. There would have been a queue a mile long for him.
  9. Anyone used this? Stayed over in Liverpool last week and have just used it for info on the exchange flags buildings. A taxi driver gave us some preminary info on the links between exchange flags and Bletchley Park during the Second World War. Gro 3 helped quite a lot. I was impressed. It does feel at times, as though you’re talking to another human being.
  10. He’d have left Rovers at some point - but at the first opportunity, to the only buyer, at such a low fee, when he was happy to stay. what a bunch of tossers. None of them should be in football.
  11. Unlike a few previous appointments, he’s coming in at a good time. We’re very well placed and now we need that extra boost to lift us for just a couple of months. Currently that’s all that matters. Go for it Valerian.
  12. Its results that matter, not the style. You can’t play shit football and get promoted. If you’re winning you’re playing well.
  13. Successful managers basically achieve success by bringing good players in. There’s not much point paying top money to attract a better manager if there’s no budget available to allow him to bring the better players in. That’s manager wouldn’t come here anyway under those circumstances. That’s the truth of where we are. We’re hoping on getting lucky. Lucky with the manager and lucky with the freebies and loans.
  14. Sure I heard the commentator say Preston/ Burnley was the biggest Derby in Lancashire.
  15. Not sure what the discussion is here. Some folk said he was awful, which he was. Me included. Now we can actually see that there is more to him than was first evident.
  16. I’ll keep it short because everything’s already been said. The bond between the players and fans after the game was very apparent on TV. That and the performance was quite simply brilliant. well done all of you. Superb.
  17. Whenever I wanted to change jobs I made sure I had another one lined up before I handed in my notice. That meant asking around and even going for interviews while still in the job. Did I feel unloyal in any way? No, why should I. I knew for certain that if my present company decided they didn’t need me any more they would have made me redundant. Same with Eustace. If Rovers had decided he wasn’t up to it, they would have sacked him. It’s the real world. The thing for any company including Rovers, if you want to keep someone then do your best to keep them happy. We have downright awful owners and some folk are discussing the manager not behaving as they personally wanted him to.
  18. Oh and that statement wasn’t an official club statement. It was a personal angry response from someone. “Significant investment” and saying “with six new additions, several of whom impressed during yesterday’s FA Cup fourth round tie against Wolves” these are no more than an individuals opinion. The club doesn’t have an opinion. Amateurish in the extreme.
  19. I’m not really bothered what Eustace has allegedly said or done. It doesn’t matter. The big picture is the important thing and the direction that Rovers have been taken by these owners. It’s more than terrible. It’s turning fans against fans - and in many cases fans against a club they have given their lives to. and what’s even worse is that club statement that tells me for sure, they don’t get it. They don’t give a damn. Waggott, Pasha, Venkys you all need to move on. Go find someone who wants to bring everyone together and drive the club as far forwards as they can. Some with a bit of passion and more importantly someone with real ambition.
  20. https://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/news/24923493.farington-cricket-facility-reaches-significant-milestone/?ref=ebls&nid=781&block=article_block_a&u=ee4ab9d53f7274626c9edb1c6eb84aa9&date=110225 just a couple of miles from my house
  21. Significant investment. Paying the wages of 5 players to help out a very small squad from February till the end of the season. What was the option? That'll attract the best managers for sure.
  22. Couldn’t care less.
