My wording came across as disrespectful, it wasn't meant to be, poor word choice from me. Sadly the chance of that being tested by Rovers meeting Bodø/Glimt in a competitive game anytime soon are zero. Rovers will never qualify for European competition under our current ownership. However I personally think Rovers would win over a home and away tie. I like the Bodø/Glimt story but I do not believe in Broughton's competency to be a successful DoF in the Championship, but will be delighted to be proven wrong. Journeys and Projects are simply well used methods of kicking the can down the road to prolong employment chances.

A 5 year journey arrives at a project that is a rebuild to put us on the path to becoming a sustainable PL club owned by the Venky's, I presume. We then kick off the rebuild by appointing a DoF with no experience in the job above academy level in a small league abroad. And yet after all the hard lessons of the past decade there are those who believe the narrative. It just boggles my mind. If we stay up it will be an achievement by JDT and his team who have been dealt a hand from a marked pack.

Internet problems meant I only saw the final 30 minutes. Adam Wharton and Morton looked good. Whose idea was it to let Pickering take a close in free kick, only going to end one way. Lots of huff and puff but nowt to break the walls down. Dolan nowt but a show pony.

Buy League 1 and you'll get League 1. It's not difficult to understand.

£3 for a soft drink ..... I will assume that comes in a pint glass ...

I know nothing about work permit requirements apart from being more difficult post Brexit. How does this guy qualify? Edit: Just saw his stats changed on wiki and that he has some youth international appearances.

I think Ayala is out of contract in June 2023. We most certainly need him until then, at least.

We have now recruited a replacement lifeboat for the one we thought we could loan. It needs a bit of work and a work permit as it's currently beached,allegedly, somewhere on the Indian coast. It may be useable by the end of this window. It may not. Waggott and Broughton have already reserved seats.

I don't give a shit about West Spam but losing to Moyes will be hard to take.

At last a CB that can Jump

Ben's armless. What's that about.

3rd games are week commencing 7th November ....

Some cracking goals tonight in the EFL Cup, got to say that SSN coverage is good. Dack is back and puts it in the sack. It's what he does.

At least Jack Vale at 6' get the average height of our somewhat height challenged forwards up a tad.

I have a bad feeling about Smallwood v Dack, take care lad against that friggin carthorse thug.

Fleetwood v Everton is being broadcast internationally including ESPN+, Bein2 Aus and SuperSport SA .... so easily available ...

Me too, but that wouldn't be a match where I dislike both teams.

It's the fecking transfer window Recruitment should be the priority. The team is No. 1

Fernandes is just perfect for ManUre. Mouthy poser They beat a totally out of sorts and injury ravaged Liverpool. Big fucking deal deluded pimps.

That Lancs Live article was JDT speaking to the fanbase and I sense a widening rift between him and the DoF. It can't be any fun being the front man for a cockup, transfers and recruitment, over which you actually have no control and when the DoF is in hiding. However JDT is only a couple of months in to a 3 year contract so it would be silly for him to walk soon. Better he stays and outs the academy imposter.

https://www.lancs.live/sport/football/football-news/blackburn-rovers-transfer-admission-tomasson-24823443 ''First of all, it is understandable, if I was a supporter as well, I would be going crazy," Tomasson admitted. "If you count the number of players we lost who played minutes last season, 12 left and three have come in.''

I think it would be his senior debut. I have watched him play for Gibraltar a few times but they are so amateur as a team it is difficult to critique a single player. You will have seen him at Rovers youth teams so I fully accept your view.

Even JDT can hear the alarm clock ringing. Meanwhile back on the Titanic the violinist says 'well ok my feet are a tad damp but I can still play the violin'

18 mins left after the Phillips sub off, then SU score 2 in 6 mins to put us 3 down. JDT had already created a potential problem by using 2 sub opportunities to bring just 2 new players on. There is now just one sub opportunity remaining in which we could use up to 3 subs. Instead after going 3 goals down and with just 11 mins remaining he decides to do fuck all, in case we get an injury. So what if we do, we are already getting hammered, surely better to bring at least a proven goalscorer on and give it a go I think he just said the first thing that came to mind when asked about Dack, and only succeeded in making himself look a fool. Or he doesn't rate Dack at all and prefers the L1 SS who is so shit he gets subbed early. Unbelievable and distressingly naive.

The previous imposter manager set us down that circus route and the current lot are continuing it. I am still struggling to understand the sheer bullshit JDT spouted when asked about why he hadn't used Dack. If I had been interviewing him I would have asked "Jon, wtf are you on about". Just look at when and what subs* we made, what the score was, how much time was left to see through this utter tripe. He needs to engage his brain before running his mouth. If he just doesn't rate Dack then he needs to do something about it as what is happening is an insult to Dack but much more importantly an insult to my (our) intelligence. * 1. Headless runner for headless runner. * 2. Protecting a child who should not have been playing a 3rd senior game in a week, whatever the circumstances. Yes, my doubts about smiler are mounting but I never had a boner in the first place.
