Mike E

Zac Carroll was taken ill 3 weeks ago with an aortic tear. Despite multiple life-saving operations, he deteriorated and never woke up from the coma he was put under. He sadly died yesterday afternoon, didn’t make it to 40. A gentle giant, and a family man through and through. His wife and 5yo child now have a funeral to plan and a life without their husband and father. If you can help, please do. Little amounts add up. https://www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/victoria-szabo?utm_medium=CR&utm_source=CL

Can you guys set up on BlueSky too?

Only three years ago the England Women’s Team won the Euros thanks in large part to a goal set up, assisted, and scored by three Blackburn girls. Yet another legacy the club are happy to ruin, after having no problem with briefly getting on the bandwagon. @glen9mullan is the Coalition reaching out to Toone, Walsh, and Stanway?

Must be. The season they rocked up, we had an average attendance of 20k+ and the highest prices ST in the BBE was £199. Funny that.

Have to say, of those I’ve met, Duncan and K-Hod are exactly who we need on the fans forum. Both passionate and not afraid to ask the hard questions and do so doggedly.

Currently only with Fans Forum (selected by the club and fellow attendees), and WATR (which doesn’t represent the wider fanbase, only its members). The more open 6-monthly meetings that became reasonably regular pre-COVID are the minimum imo.

He’s off then?

I hope he has the foresight to do other qualifications while trying to recover. A career in football is easy to get at his age if you want one.

So managers are always right and fans opinions are always irrelevant? 6 different managers persistently picked Jason Lowe over a 4 year spell spanning Premier League and Championship. So obviously, Lowe was one of the best players at the club in that time, right?

That Sabino chap doesn’t half like downvoting criticism of Venkys, Pasha, or Sufi. Funny that.

As ever, a sabotaged January window has cost us. Players have given their all for the season, but let down by the men at the top: Venkys Out. Pasha Out. Waggott Out. Gestede Out.

I’m as frustrated as you are, and I’m sure @K-Hod is too. But it isn’t in any way his fault or the fault of any fan that attends.

Bit unfair on @K-Hod as well as other BRFCS members for folk to keep asking him to breach trust and be taken off the forum leaving BRFCS without a formal representation on the fans forum imo.

I think PNE (like us) will always have the history angle, players like reflected glory and will be willing to sign for them. I wouldn’t bet on them getting stuck in L1.

@Herbie6590 Turn this into an article, it’s brilliant.

Newcastle bound.

In honour of 150 years: £15 per ticket, pie and peas in the hospitality lounges. £1.50 big screen on the pitch, fill the JW Stand

Agreed. All I’d say to that is next season depends entirely on how we deal with half a team fucking off.

I recall being told if we had a chance of the playoffs going into the last day, then Ismael has been a success. It feels both a success and not, so far. But he has earned til January before he is driven out by lies to a relegation threatened Birmingham City…

Feel dirty saying it but we need Burnley and Boro to win next week 🤮 as well as win ourselves, so it’s incredibly unlikely.

Not to pre-empt, but Andy Cole might like a chance to claim his £30k back from Swag?

No, but only because he steered it into Ewood Park and left it in such a state that we’ve never been back to where he found us (13th in PL) or left us (2nd in Championship).

It’s a Morecambe and Wise joke: eh? You’re adorable B! But you’re beautiful etc

eh? 😜

Which in itself would not be needed if the club had been managed properly from the off.
