Other than the play off games, the one I always remember is Game B on here: https://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/sport/10456956.match-80s-blackburn-rovers/ It was my first full season watching Rovers & I was one of the 5,837 at Ewood that day. That game cemented Simon Garner's God like status for me, as an 8 year old I thought he was the best player in the world as I walked up Livesey Branch at full time.

😅. The Buckshaw Bernabau as it's known.

Ok, I know this is kind of football related, but it's good news (no Mowbray hasn't been sacked as far as I'm aware) so I'll put it in here. My daughter's football team played their first match after lockdown this morning & got a storming 10-1 win. It was only 2-1 at HT with both goals from Keira. Here she is making it 3-1 just after HT to score her first ever hat-trick. #prouddad!

I noticed that. Not that I'm bothered, but it's a bit rough that. They'll have played Sat, Tues, Thurs & Sun. Can you imagine the uproar if you'd asked Klopp or Pep to do that!

I honestly think all these players are waiting to see what happens with Mowbray et al. If you knew that you could get offers elsewhere & for more money due to a club not having to pay a fee, what possible reason is there for you to stay here under the 3 stooges? This is something which Venky's will have no idea about in relation to the manager's future. They'll be getting told by Mowbray & his cronies that Nyambe etc aren't committed & don't want to be here so will end up leaving for nowt or next to nowt. No-one is going to be telling them "look, Ryan & the Joe's won't sign whilst Mowbray's still here. The reality here is that this could cost us £10m (Conservative guess) in incoming transfers & another £10m to realistically replace them like-for-like(which wouldn't happen). That's £20m! Let that sink in"..... ""Shall I clear his desk for him?" I'm obviously hypothesising here but it wouldn't surprise me if I'm close to the truth.

Bar the odd game (mostly early on this season until we got sussed out) the football has constantly been shit under Mowbray. Today was ok, but we Looked vulnerable every time they attacked. Ok, we hit the post 3 times, but Moore also missed a sitter for them in the first half & we were lucky to have 11 men on the field imo. Plus, their keeper had a 'mare for the 1st goal. We were probably worth a point at least, but let's not get carried away Tony, that could easily have been another defeat. Mowbray out!

Another thing I was thinking about, is also, don't forget that prior to 1981, a win only got you 2pts so back then a draw was a much 'better' result, hence why it was changed to stop teams playing for a draw quite so much.

I suppose the number of points also comes into play here then. Theoretically, (as I've not looked at the results of those games) we could've got 15 points, whereas Mowbray has what, 6 is it? 7? With another 8/9 points right now we'd be safe. Has anyone looked at our worst run of points? I'm assuming that this is where the "worst run in 43 years" comes from coupled with the 1 in 14.

I actually translated that as "we got busted & then got our pants pulled down when someone looked into the details" As others have said, well done to all who put in a lot of hard work. 👋

Why am I feeling the need to buy a pass for this match? I must need my head examining! Every bit of common sense is telling me to avoid it and do something else but I feel that if I don't watch, I won't have the right to feel really angry and complain - "You weren't there man!"

It says it all really that I don't think I've actually ever heard the the phrase "1 win in 14" used before when a football manager is being discussed! I think the worst is probably "1 win in 10/11" Unbelievable Geoff!

Definitely not, but I wonder if an away club would? Probably not, but you never know.

A quick google & it looks like they start at around £600+VAT https://www.airads.co.uk/Aerial-Advertising-Products/

He's pissing himself laughing at us now as he knows his mate won't sack him, Pasha is a pussy, & the local press won't push anything too hard. The only way he'd get any grief would be from us in the ground and he knows that that's not an option we have. FWIW I think he'd cave under a barrage of abuse from the fans on a matchday. I'm so angry, & feel so utterly helpless that it makes me even more angry. (I've noticed Les isn't answering his phone today btw!)

This is getting toxic now & it didn't need to be!

What do you mean....look at the evidence - top players! 🤣 (that's Mourinho bottom right btw)

I disagree. What the books say isn't necessarily what works in real life situations which he would only know if he'd played the game at any reasonable level. I see it regularly at work, give me a lad in the design office that's got a bit of site experience over one that's just come through the academic route any day. What works on paper doesn't always work on site or will end up costing a shitload more.

Sorry guys, just catching up. Yes, 01254 372001 was the number that came up on my phone but on the voicemail he left the number 01254 508215 which I assume must be his particular DDI.

Anyone else had a call from the club today? Just picked up a voicemail from "Les" asking if I'd be back next season & to call him back if I'd any concerns. That's going to be an interesting discussion when I call him back!

This is like trying to get shit off a blanket!

Oh dear, 12. Think all my guesses must've been wrong. Basically all the dates & numbers other than 1875! (Hangs head in shame)

Personally, I like hearing little tit bits of rumours no matter where they're from. I'm a big boy now & I'll make my own decisions on whether or not to take them with a pinch of salt. Usually this is based on who they're from. Some I will ignore as they don't have a particularly good record, others I will take more notice of as they either have a good record or don't generally post rumours. I don't see what calling people out achieves. If you don't like it, scroll past & move on. Keep posting anything you hear & I'll apply my own filters. 👍
