  1. I have never been able to fault the quality of BRFCS shirts. I can’t wait for this one.
  2. This following pages of Lesley Fielding being described as a snake, too. The pertinent point that people are choosing to ignore is that competent and qualified people are thankful and/or relieved to get out of Rovers.
  3. Any Potter fans (Rowling’s views notwithstanding) on here? Getting more and more news about HBO turning the books into a TV series, and surely keeping to the accuracy of the books much better than the films did. I know there’s a kerfuffle over Snape being cast as black, but black people can appear pale or pallid or sallow (the only colour-based words used to refer to Snape’s skin) too. He’s never specifically referred to as having white skin.
  4. But you didn’t say his name, so…
  5. It’s not the quality of job he’s doing that bothers me. It’s the persistent stench of Kean and Kentaro 16 years later.
  6. I’m going to half-hold my hands up here. The addition of our long-term target (Baradji) and seemingly a major piece of our jigsaw (Morishita) has started to make this window overall quite an exciting one. Only two things would tip it above 8/10 for me: Forshaw out in favour of Travis (I know that won’t happen). Bring in a striker worthy of the name. I feel like we have otherwise answered many of our problems either with competition, adequate replacements or actual improvements. The irony that it is pretty much the model Broughton and JDT wanted to implement, albeit with a different style. With ALL of that being said, I cannot get excited because we’ll throw it all away after Christmas as we have done now for three successive years. Venkys Out. Pasha Out. Gestede Out.
  7. In fairness to Waggott (that made me feel sick 🤢) the huge increase appears to have been something to do with deferring his pension payments during COVID. Or something like that, I’m sure someone more financially literate than me can explain.
  8. If those Serie A sides were Cremonese or Pisa…
  9. Mowbray got a lot of credit there for walking before he could be sacked. I think I even used it myself as a positive for when he was employed here. Then he clung like a bad smell til the end of his contract, when he really should’ve left about a year earlier. Then again he wasn’t the problem for us. Never was. Just a symptom.
  10. What a difference from the first game of the season vs Swansea in (I think) 2021-22. I really thought Buckley (in the ‘Rothwell’ role) and Dolan (up front) were going to develop into PL quality players, they were both superb that day.
  11. There is no suitable context that excuses chanting that name at a football match.
  12. Must mean the signings are all clueless twats.
  13. To cope with what’s going on, it’ll soon be topping up a flask of whisky with a drop of coffee!
  14. 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?
  15. Wharton has potential to surpass that class of Modeic/Scholes/Tugay if he can stay injury free. I so hope he goes to Madrid.
  16. 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
  17. Scottish legend has it that he ‘cannot pick his own nose’…
  18. I know of a very specific contact that Owen, Gestede, and Pasha all have…
  19. 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.
  20. 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.
  21. He absolutely hasn’t been open and honest at all, he’s tried to throw our captain under the bus.
  22. Newell? Mowbray? Not Kenny? Tugay? Shearer? Souness?
