  1. There's quite a few appropriate analogies embedded amongst this sketch, to the point that it's more hilarious (but not funny) than the original film. Try it and apply your own! I love Blackburn Rovers but am struggling with the faith, even though I have enjoyed some of the football we've played at times this season, it's time for a change. Otherwise the club is going to be strangled to death by the hierarchy and 'hangers on'. RTID but come on, cut us some slack! edit: I posted this because I thought we'd ragged a point logging off 6 minutes into injury time. I've just found out! How the fuck did we win that? Tony, You lucky, lucky bastard!
  2. Absolute Rubbish Mowbray. That's yet another abject home performance where we got more than we deserved. If I was a Millers fan, I'd be really pissed off leaving with just a point. There's feck all else to say!
  3. Quite funny Jim but feck off. There's a time and place. I'm surprised you can still crack jokes after that sh1t show in the first half.
  4. Abso bloody lutely! Never in a million years did I ever think I'd be saying that! We miss his energy and effort down the left, which then frees Arma up and dissolves him of any responsibility, leaving him free to concentrate solely on finding the back of the 'onion bag'! Big Ben has also given much needed balance to the team which we miss. I feel a bit sorry for Gallagher, hopefully he's able to reach into his own sole and turn around his career similar to Brereton. Come on Rovers, second half, come out fighting and look like you mean business. This look of couldn't give a shit, that I took from that first half, is just not acceptable in any way, shape or form. COYB!!!
  5. Absolute fecking garbage. Somebody put a rocket up everybody's arse, it's not bloody Christmas until 25 December. We're Blackburn Rovers FFS, not bloody Tranmere Rovers (no offence intended to our friends from The Wirral) I can't tolerate this nonchalant, couldn't care less attitude much longer: WE ARE THE ROVERS, Blackburn Rovers, play like the badge means something, hopefully that's not too much to ask!
  6. Aye, exactly. Remember Stoke at The Britannia Stadium in 2018! I was watching on my laptop in The States and was ecstatic at 3 up, spent the last half hour biting my fingernails but that's Rovers for you!
  7. Sad to hear today that George Sharples has passed away aged 77. He was one of my earliest memories of a player in the late sixties. He had blond/silver, receding hair and buzzed about a lot. Played wing half (in old money, midfield in decimal) and I think we signed him from Everton. Condolences to his family and friends. RIP George
  8. Thats a bugger! I've still got mine, so the fact the prices are escalating is music to my ears! We all make mistakes and hopefully learn from them, all except ToMo!
  9. Thanks Tyrone, I was beginning to think I'd imagined it. You should have invited them on here, it would soon have toughened 'em up! Americans can often be like that but can't hack gold, old, Lancastrian honesty and forthrightness!
  10. Turn it on it's head: We were Premier League Champions only 15 years prior to Venkys buying us and even then, 10 years ago, were still a well established PL Club, having only been outside of the Premier League for a couple of seasons since its' conception in 1992. What did that matter?
  11. Mediocrity, with a mere sniff of a bit of success every now and then. Keeps everything rolling along quite nicely and ToMo, Swag, Venus, Lowe & Benson in a cushy, well paid job!
  12. I had some dealings with Damien Johnson a couple of years ago. He's a relatively nice, if not strange, sort of a character. He is however frightened of his own shadow and totally unsuited to the role of manager. I'm a reasonable judge of spotting potential in folk and being able to pigeon-hole them into a position that reflects and suits their specific, individual strengths and weaknesses. I would place a definite cross through Damien Johnson's name as a candidate for the job of 1st Team Manager at BRFC. Having said that, knowing our lot, he'll probably be installed the week after next!
  13. Believe whatever you want but it's true. (The Barrow bit at least, I don't know for sure about Rovers these days. They were doing a combination of first class rail/bus most of the time and flying on occasions) I've not been to a game live for a while BigDog, home or away, so I don't tend to find out much. Know what I mean pal? 😉 Covid-19, Tier 3; it's all a bit of a bummer for us that normally go both home and away but keeping safe has to be the main priority.
  14. I've got to know a bit about Barrow through a pal of mine, who's son plays for them. Some of which surprises me. To say they're skint, they hire a training ground in Middleton, Manchester because all their players are based round Lancs, Manchester or Cheshire. They stay in plush hotels, the night before every match home or away, travel either first class train or fly to away games etc.. Paying Dunny off won't be a problem, even little Barrow and those associated with it, live in a completely different world to the one we all live in.
  15. Says who? I'll leave it there chaddy, you can't just grasp even an element of what I'm trying to say. No surprises I suppose. (Head, brick, wall)
  16. Spot on Mercer, those are my experiences and thoughts generally too.
  17. I said it to emphasise a point 🙄. They're all out of work currently and who knows? Sales, procurement, financial and operational senior management tends to teach you a trick or two. 😀 Just taken the top off a rather nice IPA in a silver can from Lidl, first of the day! If you like IPA's, I'd highly recommend it.
  18. "Aim for The Moon, even if you miss, you'll still land among the stars!"
  19. Probably not but who knows? Pick the phone up and beg the question, any decent CEO worth his/her salt would. If they say no, just cross them off the list and move on. During the conversation, they may say no but leave inklings in the conversation that lead you to believe that they possibly could be persuaded. You then work on it until you're enquiry has completely run out of steam and reluctantly accept that you have tried but been unsuccessful. Remember Jack Walker? (rhetorical question) He had that type of attitude and approach and was extremely successful as you know (pfft, Kenny Dalglish, no chance!) We either accept the current approach, general malaise, mediocrity and general, all round averageness, nonsense spouted through the media or we strive to improve and get better. It may be ok for you but it's not for me and countless other Rovers' fans either. If in your opinion, you're happy with how things are going, then fine your entitled to your view. I think Mowbray has done a decent job, he has, attracted some decent players but he's treading water now, as is the club. As I've said previously it's time to thank him for his efforts, wish him well and appoint someone else who IS CAPABLE of getting a more productive tune consistently, out of the squad of players that we have. I know I'm far from alone in thinking this way.
