  1. Must mean the signings are all clueless twats.
  2. To cope with what’s going on, it’ll soon be topping up a flask of whisky with a drop of coffee!
  3. Commenting only to comment on other people’s posting patterns sounds like trolling to me. Why do you think it’s strange for a Blackburn Rovers forum to have a thread about a Blackburn Rovers fan (one of us) who might ‘make it’, having generational talent with the potential to be one of the best midfielders in the world?
  4. Wharton has potential to surpass that class of Modeic/Scholes/Tugay if he can stay injury free. I so hope he goes to Madrid.
  5. I was actually referring to Steve Kean (worked with all three) but played along with the potential for the fellow you may be referring to
  6. Scottish legend has it that he ‘cannot pick his own nose’…
  7. I know of a very specific contact that Owen, Gestede, and Pasha all have…
  8. Because we did it all from around 2012-2017 and nothing happened. We got slagged off all over SSN and my dad (then in his late 60s) was spat at on the concourse for wearing a Venkys Out shirt by one of our own fans. We held joint protests with other clubs, issued joint statements, gave the red card to Venkys vs Man Utd, did the 1875 protest vs Wolves, nobody in the press (not even our own fans) gives a shit about Rovers.
  9. Thanks Parson. @chaddyrovers You don’t need to like posts replying to me, and then copy and paste it as your own quote too. It’s part of why you have a reputation of being unable to form or properly defend your own opinions.
  10. He absolutely hasn’t been open and honest at all, he’s tried to throw our captain under the bus.
  11. Newell? Mowbray? Not Kenny? Tugay? Shearer? Souness?
  12. So exactly the structure Blackpool in 2009 had. Only with inflation, meaning it’s about half in real terms.
  13. It rings in my ears nearly 4 years on: ‘There’s nothing special about Blackburn Rovers’ - then Head of Marketing, Paul Fielder. A man who couldn’t convince his own son to support his own club (Hull), preferring to watch Arsenal fans (not even Arsenal games) on YouTube. And the obsession with NFTs… fucking hell.
  14. A rare bit of praise, note that Aynsley achieved a Happy Gilmore yesterday. Hole in One on a par 4 hole.
  15. He once spent weeks on here teasing a striker pre-Venkys, what a masterstroke superstar signing it was going to be. It was Franco DiFuckingSanto on loan…
  16. Ties in with why he got so arsey with Glen with the ‘Ask Venkys yourself’ comment.
  17. I’m fairly sure Ian Holloway was once placed on gardening leave by a club, purely to prevent him going to a rival until the end of the season.
  18. This is a much better post than was originally being made, which led to my reaction. I too would like some clarity on why the minutes differed between the three versions.
  19. I think they’re fact that you’ve described it yourself as ‘a witch hunt’ tells its own story. I disagree with a poster being rounded on without the opportunity to defend themselves. As should any right-thinking person. For a good couple of days certain posters have practically been begging Glen to throw O2G under the bus. There is a tone of ‘Go on Glen, name and shame, who should we hate next?’, and I’m glad he clearly has the restraint to have not done so. Whatever people may think of the minute-taking, I got the feeling from a number of posts since the first mention of his being on holiday that they wanted specifically to target O2G for some sort of character assassination. Perhaps my post was an over correction, but as a Mod, I want this place to remain a welcoming place, particularly for Rovers fans, and especially so for those fans who give their time to more than most fans do. I also felt that if K-Hod were to have made a similar post, he would have been accused of nepotism or sticking up for the club or some other nonsense. I was simply trying to nip in the bud any suggestion that O2G has maliciously done anything wrong, and (as I stated) focus ire on the actual wrong-doers. My own takeaway from the most recent minutes is that the mechanism of them being delivered needs to change a bit. As an example: When I take minutes of RT (or other) meetings, I make sure anyone who wants specific things mentioning to write them down in real time and pass to me at the end of the meeting. That way I collate everything agreeable. If anyone wants something omitting that someone else wants mentioning, then tough, it gets mentioned in the interests of honesty unless it specifically needs to be off record.
  20. Well the Online Safety Act means people have to find new things to have a wank to.
  21. Is there a cheap tactic for us to pull here? They’ve already proved they are sexist by so easily enforcing a below-head-height ceiling on the women’s team. This behaviour from the club could sound like a petty bit of homophobia in some quarters.
