The song the players run out to at Ewood
windymiller7 replied to sabino's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
I call the 'Old Spice' song (members of a certain age will know what I mean), but its actual title is Carmina Burana by German composer Carl Orff. It's one of those which can quite easily make all the hairs on your neck stand up! -

This has to be the best one - didn't even know his team mates names! https://www.rovers.co.uk/news/2015/march/a-magnifient-debut/ -

Summer Transfer Window 2019

They've just signed pontus jansson from Leeds, so assume, unlike us, they signed a replacement before letting him leave! -
Must admit, I didn't realise he was a left footer until watching that vid. Looks like he's a threat at set pieces too. Welcome to Ewood Bradley no.2! (Only counting current players obviously!)
-
Sorry, my bad. My comment still stands on preference though.

Hmm, look like the halves are the 'wrong way round' again. I always prefer the front blue on the wearer's left with the club badge rather than on the right with the manufacturer.

Surely if you're going to upload a video on your own twitter page you'd make sure it wasn't one of your supposed 1st choice keeper flapping at a cross and your player of the year and best striking option heading the ball in the wrong direction! -
Season Tickets 2019/2020
windymiller7 replied to blueboy3333's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
I would think that if she waited those 4 days, her seat would probably be still available and she could purchase at the reduced rate - the problem these days is 'computer says no'. I suppose the alternative would be to set the age date as 'end of July' or 'beginning of the season', but likewise, I'd be in the opposite position whereby my Daughter's birthday is mid-June, so I effectively get away with the cheaper rates for an extra season when they move up (as long as I renew in time of course!) -
Season Tickets 2019/2020

Surprised I got accepted TBF given my past history! - usually pay upfront but circumstances this year dictated that I was unable to. This type of arrangement I find could be made better. A majority of football fans, especially in a town such a Blackburn & the surrounding areas, are working class, and as a result, pretty much live week-to-week / month-to-month. A ST is quite a big outlay for many but people want to sit with their mates/family week in week out and so this is the only option. The days where you met your mates in the pub beforehand and all stood together on the BBE are long gone. To allow people to keep their seats yet still pay monthly, why can't the club introduce a scheme whereby you pay a couple of months in advance (ie you have to sign up early) and If you haven't paid then (after getting all your reminders etc), the ticket gets blocked. It's all computerised so shouldn't be that difficult to arrange. You could even block it with a month's 'credit' left on to encourage people to ensure that they're up-to date. I know there's the money making aspect in it between Rovers & the finance company, but it terms of fairness to the fans and probably getting a few more STs sold I think it would be beneficial to all. -

Not so much a young-un, but I do know the answer thanks to my Dj-ing. It's Places by Martin Solvieg and Ina Wroldsen I think you're on about. I love this tune! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NJlOmDWyoA8 -
Cheers mate. I didn't realise the PL had relaxed the rules. I always thought they had to be different.

Whilst we're talking about kits, (home, away, change etc), did anyone notice that in the Arsenal v Brighton game a couple of weeks ago, both teams were wearing the same colour shorts? I though this wasn't allowed? Primarily for offside decisions as I understand it. Anyone know the rulings on this (Arbitro?) and why this was permitted?
-
If you look at the mock ups on the previous page I think that the Red logo stands out even more and actually looks good on the kit - likewise with the white on the away. The black logo just merges into a black blob if you ask me (mind you, my eyesight isn't what it used to be!)
-
My first ever away shirt that one & I still have it. Mind you It's a bit of a tight fit these days being size 'Small Boys (SB)'! Does anyone know when 'Away' kits became just that and not a 'Change' strip which was traditionally only worn when there was a clash of colours? Is it some kind of new regulation or something driven more by the kit manufacturers to promote sales? Anyway, darker blue for me, halves on the right side, white shorts, blue socks (I always liked the ones with the red trim from the 80s). Away - have to agree with the suggestion of any colours as long as it's halves (barring claret & blue obviously). Red & black, yellow & black, green & black etc etc

Competition Rovers Player of the Year

The mysterious case of Joe Rothwell.
windymiller7 replied to Neal's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Artists & Soldiers. Artists & Soldiers, that's what you said Tony. Well, the artists you put on the field are more like Painters & Decorators and as for the soldiers, the ones I dip in my egg put up more of a fight! -
I don't think it's pressure from above so to speak. But I think he's very aware that the tide is starting to turn with the fans. Whilst there's no hatred along the Kean/Coyle lines, people will only put up with watching defeat after defeat and listening to the same crap coming out of his mouth for so long and that time is more or less at his doorstep. I also get the feeling that there's a bit of discontent in the ranks adding to the pressure. So whilst I don't think he's in danger of getting sacked any time soon, he's basically in a job where the boss thinks he's great but all his work colleagues, suppliers and customers, who he used to get on well with, now all think he's a bit of a nob. That sort of pressure starts to manifest it's way out eventually.

Mowbray is starting to get on my tits now! I think we are seeing signs of a man under serious pressure starting to lose the plot.
-
Ok. U know me by now. I only post when I feel the need. Rodwell for me is the best midfielder we have by a country mile & needs to start in there. Rothwell needs to start - I don't care if he's run over TM's cat, he has to start. RS I love him to bits, but is out of his depth. Recall Downing at all costs, he's not the best ever but he's a CH and apart from DL is the only one we have! If I can see this and TM doesn't then, thanks Tony, but we have to move on.

? I think Warwick Davies would win his fair share of aerial battles against our back 4!
