Probably will tbh. I'd only end up spending more in the pub if I didn't! 😅

Finally! £15 for adults. Riverside is shut but BBE is open. https://www.rovers.co.uk/news/2024/august/20/ticket-news--rovers-v-blackpool/

I said similar to my daughter yesterday when she asked if we were going: "If it's a tenner then yeah it's a no brainer. £30 and they can fuck right off!" 😆

You're gonna need to learn how to spell his name!

Not gonna lie - I welled up a bit watching that. Best of luck Sammie. Pity your Prem dream wasn't achieved with us - but we all know why!

Isn't JDT's lad still with our academy as well? Obviously young so time will tell if he makes it or not.

Wasn't sure where to put this, but as we're obviously after a new keeper, here seems as good a place as any. Just read an interview on the Sky website with David Raya, he doesn't really say much about his time with us, but I thought this was quite telling: Why? Why Dave? Why weren't you coming for crosses? Is this our famed goalkeeping coach at work? Wouldn't surprise me, nearly all of our keepers of late are/were shit at coming for crosses!

I watched the highlights back earlier & I think the biggest issue (apart from how quickly it rebounded to him), was that it would've been more suited to a left footed finish. He tries to adjust himself to take it on his right but doesn't have the time to. Maybe a swing & hope for the best with his weaker foot might've been a better option.

Tracey's Nail Bar PLAYER of the match is....

Hmm Fabrizio Romano v Alan Nixon 🤔

They actually did the N05 steps up from the concourse last season so you never know! (Don't hold your breath though)

Not sure if I'd say worse, but definitely equally as bad! https://www.skysports.com/watch/video/sports/football/13104167/blackburn-goalkeeper-aynsley-pears-gifts-ipswichs-conor-chaplin-the-opener

Oh most definitely. They seem to know when you need cheering up & when you just want to be left alone. With regard to emergency vets, all I can say is thank god for pet insurance!!

Not wanting to de-rail the thread as we get ourselves excited at the prospect of signing a new keeper, however, as I had a few nice messages & likes, I just thought I'd post to let everyone know that we picked the dog up from the vets yesterday & she seems absolutely fine now. We think she may have had a reaction to either being stung/bitten or eaten something in the garden which she shouldn't have. Thanks once again for the previous likes & replies.

🤣. That made me laugh far more than it should've done. Have had to take the dog to the vets today & leave her there as she's not well so that cheered me up a bit. Thanks.

Just looked it up & Donnarumma's out of contract and only has a transfer value of £300k! We should be all over that! (Ok, it's not THAT Donnarumma, it's his older, shitter, brother, but I'm sure if you post on FB without his first name, you'll get a few bites! 😂)

Perhaps it's me misunderstanding things, but I thought we were talking about Big Mak in relation to being unable to speak English - his first interview would seem to confirm this. But yeah, Yuki seems to know enough to get by. Loved the "Mr Shearer is a Legend"!

Their clothes are quite good quality tbf! 🤔

I think the highlighted bits are quite telling as to what they are/were willing to spend in total. Essentially, they were going to send over £26m, but ended up sending £14.9m. Not far off half what we were originally going to get. I think it's fair to assume that they have a total which is allocated to Rovers and with them having to put an equivalent amount into the bond account, we're only ever going to see about half of that figure now, at best. So, if we think of the magic £20m a year, that'll now be £10m a year or thereabouts. From where I'm sitting this means that unless there's a few more Adam Wharton's lurking in the U21s, we're f*cked!

120 according to the club website https://www.rovers.co.uk/news/2024/may/21/loyalty-points-scheme-information/ I'm assuming that, as usual they've f*cked up & put 23-24 instead of 24-25!

Was just about to post similar. In real terms it's 4 years as they have a further 12mth option according to this which, unless tells lies like the Rovers equivalent, is likely to be correct: https://www.wearehullcity.co.uk/news/2023/april/mcloughlin-signs-new-long-term-contract/ No chance they're selling for £500k

This pissed me off as well, it's been the same since we switched to Macron for some reason. Don't know if it's something to do with Macron or whether Swag just conveniently used this as an opportunity to introduce yet another tax (I know what my money's on & it's got FA to do with Macron!). It always used to be a nice softener for me after buying the STs I could then get my daughter's shirt at a reasonable price. For the discount you also only had to swipe/tap your ST, no code required. You can't use your discount on any Macron stuff - that's half the f*cking store! More importantly, it's really the only stuff people actually want to buy! Basically, you can get your discount on a mug, pencil, beach towel or 'Run JRC' T-shirt, fantastic, I'll start the car now boot up the laptop now!

Yep! Danny Murphy is bloody awful! Pair that with a female commentator & I'm done! I'm not sexist at all, but there's something not right about a female commentator on the men's game. I expect a ban here btw & if so then it is what it is.

Just read that Clive Tyldesley has been axed by ITV and his last game on commentary will be the last 16 game between Germany & Denmark. At a time where there are more and more (poor, imo) female commentators creeping in to the men's game, I find this a bit baffling. I actually didn't mind listening to Clive and actually really enjoyed his rapport with McCoist. Find this a bit sad if I'm honest.

I like the idea but haven't alcohol companies been banned from advertising on football shirts? If I'm correct with that, does that extend to their alcohol free offerings? I was thinking the likes of Heinekin 0.0, Guiness 0,0 etc - could be a way of the big breweries getting back into sponsorship. On the subject of companies which The Vs have their sweaty palms involved with, didn't I read somewhere that Lavazza coffee was one of them? Would certainly look a bit more adventurous. I'm sure they'd have a few pennies more to throw at it & very few would know of the link.
