Morbary this morning, allegedly: '' I haven't checked the Table. When does next season start? I live a long way from home, can I have a lift Stewy, you can have a new contract. Oh and crack on with Brockhall Maggs''

It's in the most recent article and a frequent claim of his. Apparently Yarm is a long way away from Blackburn. IF 90 miles is so far then he could always move nearer to his home. His choice. How TF did he survive living in Coventry. It's in England FFS, I spent a working lifetime thousands of miles from home earning the corn so he has NO sympathy from me. If it's so far he is then actually inflicting harm on to all his Boro signings? I think not. Man's a compulsive BS merchant and liar and makes me puke.

What is he on. This is where we are, there is no maybe about it. No acknowledgement that he has run things to put us where we are. BUT he works a long way from home................... He needs help. I mean that. It's one thing being owned by nutters but when the day to day stuff is in similar hands then we are well stuffed.

Did I say I thought he was wrong? No. Its just that football has a way of delivering a kick back to those who run their mouths from insecure ground. BUT not on this Earth are Pompey a bigger club than us - just for the record.

Beat me to it and much more politely. I was going to say something along the lines of Cowleys 'Big Club' aspirations got a kick in the balls by (little*) Accy. * no disrespect intended to Accy.

Thanks. I can cope with that 😊

The week beginning 10th or 17th? I am not being pedantic but Mondays are generally viewed as the beginning of a week and Rovers are also good at time and date resetting. Just trying to manage my hopes and whatever the time frame I hope you are right.

Overall just about the most depressing season I can recall in 60+ years as a fan of Rovers. Owners - Board - Manager - certain Coaches all get it from me. The sense of almost helplessness going forward under the above crap is frightening. We have played much worse and have experienced hard times and relegation but never before I have felt so detached from the essence of what the Club always meant to me. Now I just view the shambles as ignorant spiteful owners, dodgy management and journeymen players. Give me Bobby Saxton or Don Mackay with not a pot to piss in any day.

Damn shame the IPL is off or I'd be watching that.

Downing was there in some sort of coaching capacity. I wonder if he is still being paid as a player or picking up a wedge for being a pretend player and a (trainee?) coach. It is Rovers after all and we like to take care of spent merchandise especially from Mowbrays love club. What a shambles. The game itself bored me rigid. I thought I'd died and gone to hell. Like looking at the worst of Rovers but being played by kids.

“I tried to change the mentality of this football team that we’d come up from League One and sitting in mid-table might have been alright for us while we acclimatised to the league but we have to move on, move the parameters'' The liar re-writing history. I could almost believe that we had spent decades in L1 and didn't keep most of the squad together, and yet I know we have those who will believe that we had to 'acclimatise' to the heady heights of the Championship. No shame whatsoever. No apologies and no comprehension that he may be the problem. Are we back to Year One?

This is the man who messed up very badly in a 2 team league. Think about that. It takes some doing. I wonder what the Clubs PR budget is? Posters on the LT, all over Social Media like a bad rash - doesn't come cheap unless maybe outsourced to a country with a history of call centres and cheap wages.

First point - Mowbrays career stats show he is not a 'survival' manager. He's actually quite good at leading or preparing teams to relegation. Second point - How on God's good Earth can a manager be deemed a survival ace when he cannot organise a defence, doesn't do set play coaching and is indifferent to the Table. That poster has Plant(pot) written all over IT

They will not even give him a Zoom call! He lays out the food chain though: Owners-Pasha-Maggot-Mowbray I wonder when the 'often' phone calls of Mowbray to Pune stopped................LoL He lies for a living. He will though be carefully calculating the budget to ensure there is enough for another Downing year. He is making me fucking ill.

Lucy in the tree with coconuts

in other news, in the Europa Cup, Villareal CF from a Spanish provincial of just 50,000 population see off the mighty Arsenal, whose main claim to fame is an overinflated ego and a nice shirt. There but for a coat of paint.

Touchel breaking the rules and comfortably winning a game with just 32% possession. A bloody travesty .... or so Mowbray thinks, imo. TBH I love it when its proved comprehensively that TM is a bellend

We got promoted into the PL We were not a driving force behind the set up. Without checking the instigators were the usual suspects of Arsenal, Man U, Liverpool, Spurs and coat-hangers. Urban myth has it was all sketched out on Arsenal letter-headed paper.

I have nothing polite to say so will keep stum.

Only S1 and S2, got it all on download so it's on the list of things to do. Just after I posted H definately came up on my Google feed

What does that even mean? Is 'H' a word or secret code known only to certain types? Serious question by the way. Edit: I get incorrect spelling so no need to go all school room. Edit 2: Cracked it. Strange Times but all in the Line of Duty

Well done!

Re-setting a 15 second memory span will not take long.

I'm almost sure Mowbray Rovers have a permanent team set up to do just that. That or the PR truth raiders do it. A third option and cheapest is a Pune writers sweatshop.

That's a bit of a stretch. 3rd year at 2 and currently 3rd. We are the club who are 2nd tier but for sure not firmly. Holtby has disappointed but not at much as the Boro hospital patients and holidaymakers.
