23/24 kit; is a new sponsor needed?
RTM08 replied to alex l's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
The colours are alright but that pattern is awful, looks like someone wallpapered over the shirt with no thought of its shape. -

The sponsor is still awful looking (aside from morally questionable) and that collar is nasty - sky blue doesn't work at all. It's a no from me. -

Well, that's another season where I won't be buying any shirts. I don't know who is in charge of getting sponsors etc but Recoverite aside I can't think of any since we came down to this league which didn't seem like an awful option from a brand standpoint. -
Jon Dahl Tomasson - Officially No Longer Our Head Coach
RTM08 replied to Tom's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
The cup runs were fine (even if we did throw the quarter final) but I'd have traded both of them for the extra point we needed. At the end of the day we're not going to win either cup so the league has to take priority. -

RTM08 replied to Tom's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Yeah, I'll have really fond memories of a season where we got absolutely humiliated by Burnley, Preston, relegated Reading, Rotherham, Luton, Coventry etc, played some of the worst football I've ever seen for over half a season and blew the chance of play-offs by winning 1 "cup final" out of 9. Not a chance we finish any higher than this next season, especially with the teams coming down and I have no faith that this football is at all effective over a season at this level. -

Because even in the event that we won, the chances of us actually getting into the top 6 was remote at best. Way more pressure on Millwall than us. -

RTM08 replied to arbitro's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
We haven't been "done over" by anyone but our own shocking football over the past 6 weeks. They don't get a pass because they decided to play once it didn't matter despite having it in their own hands until about a week ago. We have a goal difference of -2 - that's what ended our season. -

Play-offs is still better than we've ever managed and ever will with Venky's in charge. -

How anyone can have watched this last month or so and thought he's the one I'll never know. Regardless of the lack of a striker the football we play is still suicidal, the team has no fight or will to get back into games and the game management is non-existent. Absolute dross. -

As always we have no bottle for a big game. Still not convinced how this new brand of football is supposed to be entertaining when we seem to be completely incapable of competing with anybody. -

May as well throw Wigan at home while we're at it. We've been god awful against some of the worst sides in this league. -

Yep, contrast that with: Burnley Home and Away, Preston Home and Away Rotherham Away Reading Away Luton Away We have been absolutely shocking at times this season. -

Biggest mistake Venky's made in the last 10 years is not getting Warnock through the door. It wouldn't have been pretty but I bet we'd have made the playoffs. -

RTM08 replied to roverandout's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
I hate this framing. This framing implies we've fought for where we are. The actual facts are, since they first started talking about "cup finals" and "big games" at the FA cup QF, we have won ZERO games. A SINGLE win in any of those and we're probably in the play-offs. Yet again we had a massive advantage and completely and totally bottled it. Instead, we have to watch this turgid, lethargic, tippy tappy football with absolutely no urgency to suggest that we actually want promotion. Taking the table out of context completely distorts what has actually happened. -

As expected - bottled it but not quite enough to just get it over with. Not a chance this lot take points at Millwall next week. Every single game that they talk up as a massive game we fail to win, because this team has no leaders, and not winners. -

What's the betting we draw and bottle it when there's a chance at the weekend? -

Imagine serving this drivel again and again at the business end of the season and then complaining that no one wants to pay over the odds for a season ticket. -

Any players that were here last year AND this year for the total and utter collapses need punting immediately. -

A manager who would rather play pretty football than effective football and it's screwed our season. Honestly won't lose sleep if he goes elsewhere in the summer. -

RTM08 replied to roverandout's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Another half with no goals. I appreciate we don't have a striker but this "new improved" brand of football seems to have removed our ability to grind out narrow wins. Hope we can nick it in the second half but we absolutely don't deserve playoffs based on the last 6 weeks. -

RTM08 replied to roverandout's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
One thing I will say, is whoever on the media side of things who keeps highlighting the players saying all these games are "cup finals" needs to stop. I'm actually sick of hearing it now. We've heard it since coming out of the international break between every game - we've won zero and it's starting to grate a bit. -

RTM08 replied to roverandout's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
I'm not sure where this idea of Luton being on the beach has come from as they're significantly more potent than we are and just beat Boro. They're one of the form teams in this league! Add to that the fact that we always struggle against them and I just don't see where a resukt comes from - the away fixture was one of the biggest wastes of money I've ever spent. At the end of the day, we came into the month with 9(?) "cup finals", and literally winning even one would have had destiny in our hands, but they've bottled it completely (yes, January is partly to blame but winning none of that run of fixtures is still abysmal). We don't create anything and this team doesn't scrap. Rovers 0-2 Luton
