They don't have to be exciting, they have to be better than Mowbray.

Time for Tony to go. 5 losses in a row is literally Keanesque. Plenty of options out there: Hughes, Wagner, Cowleys, Bilic, Jokanovic, Silva, Ainsworth, Davidson, Ross, Ferguson, Robins, Appleton, Neil, Ismael, Cooper etc

Watford have scored more away goals vs us than they have against any other side.

Watford have scored 10 goals away from home. 1/5th of them vs us 😑

'Performance related coach' makes him even worse. We've played far worse than our results or position in the table imo.

Starting to actually hope Tony goes now, ideally that he walks. I'm reminded of the 'good resignation' speech from Malcolm Tucker: It IS possible to have a good resignation, you know! Look, people really like it when you go just a bit early! You know, steely jawed, faraway look in your eyes! Before they get to the point when they sitting round in pubs and say "Oh, that fucker's got to go!", you surprise them! "Blimey, he's gone! I didn't expect that! Resigned! You don't see THAT much anymore! Old school! Respect! I rather liked the guy! He was hounded out by the fucking press!" How about that, ah? What a way to go! Yeah!

Think it's a touch unfair to target Sharpe. Seems to me an editorial decision to treat the issue as a news/housing one rather than a Rovers one. Not his fault. Plus he's not afraid to ask difficult questions of a manager, as we're seeing in recent weeks.

Bentley and Rio vs Man Utd, Feb 2006

Re: Jack's legacy, and given how long it takes ideas to die, it's not to be sniffed at. 'Jack's legacy' is so integral to the spirit of Blackburn Rovers and punching above our weight. Much like the reason it takes racism and homophobia so long to die away, is that it generally takes 2 generations for ideas to disappear. The reason we still obsess about the World Wars are that there are still grandparents alive who fought in them. Only when those born 2010+ are left will Jack's legacy begin to fall away in spirit imo. Dismissing it is a nonsense.

The dishonourable member?

What's the aim and how do you propose to get there? Fantastic post btw!

You've been reading the Rovers Trust Marketing Prospectus, haven't you? 😉

Tea-Mobile?

Sorry guys, I thought people knew I'm Acting Rovers Trust Sec. Here's the link: https://www.roverstrust.com/

We're always open to new members. Always. Just sayin'

Anyone got some paint they need me to keep an eye on as it dries? I don't charge for the service.

All feeling very reminiscent of Souey's last weeks here. 'Matteo at left back' vibes. I think he's lost the plot personally. Needs to go before he loses what's left of my goodwill.

Consider acting like it then?

Congratulations CLB and darrenrover!

We say this every year, but (pandemic permitting) we should have a few BRRCS members meet up for a round.

It's an interesting debate and I see validity on both sides. Yes, DeChambeau is a talking point on tour, and it's not like he's tearing up courses winning every tournament. Equally, they need to nip in the bud any situation where a next generation of pros are inspired to just 'go long'. With that being said, 'go long' still needs an amazing short game to win anything.

How about a series of What's in the Bag? Driver: Mizuno ST200 Woods: 3 + 5 Adams Irons: 3-SW Ping Zing 2, plus an old Mizuno 60deg lob wedge Putter: Odyssey 2-ball White Hot (original). Ball: Callaway Chrome Soft. Probably change to Vice Pro Plus once I lose them all. Looking to finally take the plunge after my 30th and get fitted for Mizuno irons and wedges 🙂

That very nicely sums up the feelings I had when I thought Orton was going to topple Edge at the last hurdle!

Christian returning. How do we fancy having him challenge Big E for the IC title? A challenge for the deprived of him for the same title against the same guy in 2014 due to concussion... Obviously to elevate Big E.

Side note: Carlito was SHREDDED! Is he back for another run, I wonder?
