Right now, not here. 😄

Seat map still not updated to show the true picture. Waiting for it to reveal the non-renewed seats. Although, for all I know, everyone could have renewed. 🙃

Correct. I changed seats and both were showing unavailable when I checked 30 mins after payment.

So it's the footballing giants of Luton and Coventry gracing Wembley eh..

Hits home hard just how much we bolloxed matters up in the last few games.What a chance we squandered.

Yeah. It's a season long but for me the hand of wilson beat us.

We allegedly picked their pocket for Hyam. 
But they’ve just got to Wembley with 2 clean sheets against Boro. 

Maybe it’s the Coventry scouts and recruitment team we should be after 

But dont forget if it wasn't for their "keeper" pushing the ball into the net against us, Rovers would be in playoffs.

The incident was mentioned by sky commentary team tonight. 

Wilson has more tricks up his sleeve.

No shame keeper is a handful who continues to get away with it.

I think one win will be enough for them, although that dent in their goal difference today means that if Leeds got to 35 point they would be lever with Everton but now would probably be ahead on goal diff.

 

I'd rather leeds stay up. Don't want to see of hear them at Ewood.

LT "Rovers' celebrations cut short by stewards blocking their route to the away end"

Great support by Rovers.

Sad end to season to miss playoffs on goal difference but what a performance by JDT.

Give the man a new contract.

Presumably they advise booking online as they are charging an extra £2 to anyone who does. That and it saves them having to do it at the Club shop.

Went down this afternoon to renew as I was passing Ewood. Pretty straight forward procedure & there are plenty of staff behind the counter should a rush occur.

However, due to a credit card manufacturing blunder my transaction declined. Neither the club nor me are at fault just an inadequate credit card company that failed to informed its customers that re-issued cards don't work and are being re-issued but there's no timescale. 

May end up paying the £2 online. 

Rovers: Pears, Rankin-Costello, Carter, Hyam, Pickering, Travis, A Wharton, Szmodics, Hedges, Dolan, Brereton

Subs: Hilton, Brittain, Ayala, Garrett, Thomas, Dack, Leonard

Dack is lacking games but I'd still start him. His ability & game know how will be a problem for Luton.

2-2 now. 

Cracking goal by Florini from well outside box. 

Rovers: Pears, Rankin-Costello, Carter, Hyam, Pickering, Travis, A Wharton, Szmodics, Hedges, Dolan, Brereton

Subs: Kaminski, Brittain, Phillips, Garrett, Dack, Thomas, Leonard

Part of me says I think it's all over but with 3 games, regardless of the opposition, it isn't.

Players will do their best & we will all get behind the team.

I’m struggling to shake off the disappointment tonight - I’m normally pretty relaxed about results, win, lose or draw, but that one feels like a really tough one - maybe it’s coming so soon after what happened on Wednesday, I don’t know, but I just feel sick at the moment. 
God knows how the players must be feeling 

According to Kevin Gallagher after a defeat the players dismiss it straight away.  They have too it's part of their training as professionals.

Not blaming Hyam, it happens. He was unlucky. Hedges should know better. Dolan was bad but JDT dealt with it.

 I'm still gutted but tomorrow's another day. 

One positive, JDT knew Dolan was crap and took him off after 45 mins

He'd do well with quality players.

Ayala will play for u21s today. Could be a welcome return if we get to play-offs.

We are due a win today, come on Rovers!

Stop punishing yourselves, the ref gave it, it's gone.

Good point rigger. Even without him seeing the handball his overall performance was that bad at Ewood last night I don't want to see him referring a game again. Pathetic is an understatement.

Rant over.

I watched the sky sports highlights last night, and it has 2 or 3 replays but I can't really see the handball, definitely not how some people are describing it (catching it). There's a lot going on in the box, very crowded, it obscures the view. Anybody got a replay that shows it clearly?

Did look like he barged Pears over the line, definite foul but the ball was already past him and going in I think.

As I posted earlier on BBC Breakfast news this morning they show the ball clearly with Wilson prodding it with his hand. No doubt in my eyes. Shocking from a professional footballer. 

Just seen their hand goal on BBC Breakfast News. No way ref could have seen it. But........how unprofessional by their keeper.

If a bad foul was not punished by a ref then the EFL would bring in a retrospective charge. This is surely worthy of something from the powers who look after our beautiful game!
