Thought exactly the same. Practising throw ins? What is this witchcraft!?

They have DL down as 1.87 & unless my eyes are playing tricks on me, Wharton definitely looked taller than him to me. Think the 'measured him as a kid' line could well be possible.

Woah, come on, be fair. He scored more goals for us than Chris Brown! 😆

🤣🤣🤣.All fart no poo! 🤣🤣. Not heard that before, proper laughed at that one. 👍

Thanks for the reply Joe, bit of a disappointment if that is the case.

The big question is "Have you seen the home shirt out of the packet & are the halves reversed?" 😉

Exactly what I thought, hence my post on the previous page. Assuming @miller isn't having us on ( I see no reason why he would) I can only think that the pic of the back isn't from the new shirt. Might be why it looks like a different material & slightly different shade.

I take it we're on true halves again like last season - LHS of the wearer is blue on both front & back of shirt. Would prefer the halves reversed or 'quarters' as some like to call it.

Just put this on the Championship thread, but my daughter is absolutely made up this morning - the list that Rovers put up on instagram has a picture of her & her mate on it!

IIRC we're not allowed to post the list on here, but here's a link to them on the Rovers website: https://www.rovers.co.uk/news/2022/june/23/rovers-to-kick-off-with-qpr-/ Edit: Incidentally, my daughter is made up this morning as the one they put up on instagram has a photo of her & her mate on it.

I assume you mean this one? Erm, no thanks. Not for the home anyway. Wouldn't be too averse to doing something with it as an away or third kit, but no, definitely not the home shirt. Those halves (or quarters!) are our identity & are sacrosanct as far as I'm concerned

This made me laugh - come on Jon, let's get that first one over those b*stards! https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/vincent-kompany-jon-dahl-tomasson-27254815.amp Edit: bugger, @booth beat me by seconds!

Welcome JDT. On the face of it, quite an exciting appointment which has largely been well received. I'm actually looking forward to seeing what he can bring to the party. Big job needed in the transfer market, but the advantage of this is that we should see him being able to implement what he wants to do more quickly rather than having to try & move on players he doesn't want first. Now come on Rovers, let's see a bit of common sense & try to ride this wave of optimism by extending the Early Bird deadline by another week to try & shift a few more tickets. I know they won't drop the price to anything sensible, so I'm not even going to bother suggesting it, but at least waive the extra £30.

Ok, off topic again (apologies) but regarding own goals, I seem to remember David May scoring an obsolute beauty. No idea who against, but he was legging it back towards goal, the cross came in from the right & hit him perfectly in stride sending the ball flying into the roof of the net, or did I dream that one - I'm not getting any younger & cheese or nuts is a definite no no before bed these days!

Exactly. Why do people feel the need to do it? (Rhetorical question really, it's all about attention seeking generally, coupled with the odd bit of mischief)

Somebody's been at Wiki already! Personally, I'm not getting excited until I see him holding a Rovers scarf aloft. I remember similar with Warnock.

I hope this fella doesn't share the same views as our Head of Commercial, if he does, we're well & truly screwed!

I renewed. Purely for my daughter who is getting to the obsessed point & I don't want to dampen that spirit - I was like that once & we need it to carry on from generation to generation. Also, I'd probably end up going anyway so I'd much rather make sure I sit with the same people I have done for years than risk a seat next to some absolute helmet! - I'm obviously presuming they've renewed too - the nice people, not the shiny purple ones obviously. Am I happy about the pricing & guilt trip? Am I hell!! On another note though, I'd been refused the monthly payment plan last year for some reason (computer said no!) Even though I'd always been ok, & it was for a much lesser amount, but all is well this season.

Wow! Wish I could've seen Ronnie play - before my time unfortunately (or fortunately depending on how u look at it 😆) but I love watching Declan Rice. I think he's probably one of the most underrated players in the prem. Oh, & tonight? Bore fest. Nation's League? Scrap it, glorified friendlies.

Isn't it funny how you can interpret things in a different way? If I know Phil ( @tomphil) , judging by the time of the post, he's just come in from the pub (as have I), gone for a poo & is catching up on things in the process (as am I). Now, I read @Miller11 's post as being that that was what the marketing guy has been told by those more senior to him. However, reading it back again, if you're in a senior position, it's YOUR FUCKING JOB to find a USP of whatever you're selling. Look at this turd. No, not your ordinary turd, just smell the unique aroma, feel the exquisite texture.....you get my drift! So, on that note, if it's from above, it's shocking & needs rectifying immediately. We are Blackburn Rovers!!! Even if you've no affilliation to us, a quick Google search will give u all the info you need. If it's his opinion? WTF are u doing in marketing? Meet me at a pub, time & place of your choice & I'll teach u more about marketing in 2 mins that you've ever known, - & I'm an Engineer!! Not even fit to take down the stalls on Chorley Cattle Market. Get a job doing something else! Anything!

I just hope that this new DoF bloke, Gregg, isn't one of the usual pastys employed by our owners!

Yeah, I'm sure the delights of Blackpool will draw him away from Milan! 😄

🤣 just nearly spat my pint out!

There's only 2 types of blokes, w4ankers & liars! 😅

There are plenty of businesses which used to sponsor football teams but have now been priced out of the Premier league market who I'm sure would be interested in sponsoring championship clubs. Think back to the late 80s & early 90s: Sharp, Candy, JVC etc, even us & Liverpool have both had Crown Paints. Surely with a bit of good old 'knocking on doors' we could get a Hoover, Persil, Morphy Richards or whatever. Thinking locally (ie North West): Tate & Lyle, Heinz, Norwich have Lotus as a sponsor so why not Bentley or Jaguar Land Rover. As Jack said, "Think big!" What about some of these .com companies? I know they have Hollywood A-listers as owners, but Wrexham have Tik Tok. Come on guys, pull your fingers out think outside of the box & more importantly outside of a BB1 or BB2 postcode! As much as I like the Local Company, local people thing, let's leave these guys to the smaller teams in the area. As an example, my daughter played against Langho girls a couple of weeks back & they had McDonalds Clitheroe on their shirts. Fabulous! Do I want McDonalds Ewood on our shirts? Do I F*ck!
