Mowbray comment you could easily belive him making, before a ball is kicked.

"The season is going well at the moment. I have just checked the table and we are up to third". 

He doesn’t check the table, especially the treatment table.

You'll eat your words. He's a top talent and only been held back by two injuries sadly. Was immense in his half at Fylde, best player on the day.

I hear some good things about him and a crop of other youngsters too.

And winds lots of us up and turns us off the point of a forum.

End of the day that’s just my view point, maybe its just bad timing in my part that I catch ;cathartic, unfunny attempts at humour in threads, or unsubstantiated conspiracy theories, or flip flopping, writing off players, accusing posters of “defending the club”, posters accusing renewers as “supporting our decline” etc.

Anyway, to the pub for what should be a historic day for English football. 

It shows you care and a bit of sarcastic humour, isn’t up everyone’s street.

Enjoy the pub and the day. Hope we are all on a high later.

No they won't. They will have bought in good faith. If the club decides to close a stand after selling tickets there, they shouldn't charge extra. When I go to the theatre we always buy the cheapest tickets for seats we are prepared to sit in. If they move us we don't pay extra. If the rest of the theatre is full then we sit in the seats weve chosen gladly

Have you seen, comedy of errors?

i think it`s even worse,at least kean was a clueless idiot who did`nt know what he was doing,in that respect he was going to get the bullet or resign due  boardroom pressure,mowbray and swag have the club to themselves with no one apparently bothered about what they do,look at some of the performances last season,it was clear no one gave a flying ****, the manager was sat on his arse at games looking comatosed more often than not

im`e not in any way trying to defend the cupid stunt kean but at least he did try to show some leadership on the touchline,mowbray is just taking the **** out of us,he might as well go to the telegraph and announce he`s not bothered about the fans and club,just his fat salary,in that respect he`s worse than kean and he disgusts me

There was a rumour that when Kean was playing at being manager, that he organised a fancy dress party, with the theme being Cluedo characters. When the manager turned up, no one could work out, who he was, until Danny Murphy announced that he was Kean, as Mustard.

Poor old Tony takes all the flack

Hoping to be saved by Bradley Dack.

His pension fund is his only concern.

When will those Rovers fans learn?

But his mate Steve is on his side.

Trying to flog Brockhall was pretty fucking snide.

We won't be free until the Coventrio are binned...

And the Venkys stand on the Ewood turf with a mic....

"Sorry to all Rovers fans and especially Uncle Jack... for we have sinned"

Are these Words worth more than the club?. I’m a poet and I didn’t know it!!

It’s unbelievable that people are trying to use this as evidence of us being well run.

We are well funded because we have to be… because we continue to be run absolutely terribly.

Another thing, how much longer can people continue to absolve Venky’s of all blame and pile it all on that wanker Anderson. He’s been out of the picture for at least 9 years. Apparently. 

Whats the tipping point? Half a billion? We are steadily heading towards that. They’ve wasted more than the GDP of some small countries already. Something simply has to change quickly, but nothing ever does.

Being well run ........... into the ground.

Well not 60k crowds like Wembley but flocks of blue and white scarves. A host of golden Rovers fans. 😉

Beside the lake, beneath the trees, we will drift into obscurity, with the greatest of ease.

Not sure if this helps. It is about Reading, from a while ago & seems to suggest, certain signings, can be https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/www.getreading.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/what-efl-rules-state-transfer-16498445.amp

Yes if I had to go for one of them I would say Matt Jansen would be the closest to Tony Field

Imagine Jansen, before his accident, playing in league one. He would cause havoc.

The good points of a hybrid, Matt Jansen/Damien Duff

That might be cheating. I think Field was a one off, especially in the old Third division.

I can claim to have seen Tony Field play for 4 different clubs - Southport, Rovers, Sheffield United and New York Cosmos.

Brilliant. I was asked today, which other Rovers player was Field most like. I can’t think of anyone, in the same mould, can you?

Tony Field played with Pele but he was in a different league to BB...

Was that at New York Cosmos?

Brazil's most important media group, O Globo, have Ben Brereton on their "ideal 11" team after the 1st round of Copa América, playing center forward alongside Messi & Neymar.

Brereton in the same team as Messi. That’s the stuff of dreams.

Thanks for the reply.

A couple of clarifications.

Burnley is not a city. It is a shithole from medieval times.

Rovers are a big club. 

I don’t think Lord Baltimore needs convincing. Town & City is very confusing in Spanish, as they refer to everything as Pueblo or Ciudad. I have it in my head (probably wrongly) that ciudad is more like a City & Pueblo, more like a town.

So Burnley es un Pueblo lleno de Brujas, y mierda, will have to do.

Perhaps, but I didn't get that sense.  I think they were laughing more at the "hate each other to the death" (se odian a muerte).  I don't get a sense the panelists are familiar enough with English geography, rivalries,  the Championship and "minor" Premiere league teams to find it amusing that Rovers rivals play at a higher league.  But i may be wrong.

That’s exactly what I though and what I posted on here, yesterday. Thanks for clarifying.

Todo bien?

I just saw this.  Let me see....

So the reporter at Ewood park is just relaying basic info on Rovers to the people in the studio (and wider audience), they ask about the BB shirt he is holding, was there a store, how much was it (size XXXL, only one left in store as UK$70 BB Rovers shirts have all sold out).  He points to the Rovers emblem and explains the importance of the red rose.  

Beginning min 16:10..."Rovers was the champion of the Premiere League, something very few small clubs have done.  This is a very small club.  The 'clasico'/derby bor Rovers with with Burnley, which is the neighboring city.  They hate each other to the death, I was told by the Rovers press chief [a little chuckle from the studio].  Burnley is in the Premiere, Blackburn is in the Championship, therefore they're down below.  They're struggling.  It's true, they're struggling a lot."  He then goes on to relay his attempts to obtain the sold out Brereton shirt with his face on the Chile flag and was given the only shirt they had left which is 5 sizes too big and he'll find someone to gift it to.

A better translation than mine, (Spanish is my second language) but I thought I had better reply quickly, as the poster thought, the guys in the studio, were laughing at the fact that Burnley are higher than us, just now. 

Estamos en la sede del Blackburn Rovers, casa de ben Brereton.

(We are at the headquarters of Blackburn Rovers home of Ben Brereton)

Good publicity this, I reckon, come what may. 

He mentions us being Premier league winners too. Refers to the shirt and the ground as super pretty (quaint) and loves the rose.
