I humbly bow to your much superior knowledge. I was going from 11 v 11 stats.

Ignore the wankers.

Only because its the first time we've played them in a competitive game

No disrespect meant to Morecambe but I really did not think I would live long enough to witness us losing to Morecambe in a competitive game in which we fielded a strong side. Well done Mowbray. Well done Venkys. Fuckwits.

TBH I am totally confused by it all re RoversTV and website. I want to see what RoversTV do for a home game that's not on Sky and not selected for any international broadcast. Basic stuff like do they have a camera and cameraman, or is it all outsourced.

On closer investigation on the Morecambe site the game is ''not yet ready for purchase'' ...... no idea what happens next.

Morecambe have the game as being live on their iFollow, but unclear if it's audio and/or video. Maybe we will announce something 5 minutes after KO and viewable if you buy a season pass. https://www.morecambefc.com/matches/fixtures/first-team/202122/august/blackburn-rovers-vs-morecambe-on-10-aug-21/

I'm no lawyer but have an expert forensically examine the transfer details and take it from there. I'm basing that on 15 million cash plus a player for 6 million that we don't actually pay for. I'm happy to be told my reading of posts on here is wrong.

All we still have is a link to 2 mins on YouTube. Poor do.

A lot on speculation of what the fee is, add ons, £6 million for an unproven etc etc and now the likelihood of AAs fee being undisclosed. Let's be clear on one thing. Mike Ashley will know and get his full 40%. In a contest of Swag v Ashley there can be only one ..... winner

Spot on.

I just had a look at the Match Centre for this game. Wonderful detail, someone is doing loads of work. Thanks. I have to admit though that I cannot follow how the accuracy figures under 'Passes' are arrived at. Example: It shows Butterworth making 2 passes, no key passes and with 1% accuracy. I recall him making a sublime pass that created a chance which Rothwell crapped over. Even if it was not a key pass it must be considered accurate. I actually think all the accuracy %s for Rovers players are a bit off.

Just woke up and saw the thread name. Excitement to depression in a nanosecond.

I think its to do with a loyalty bonus.

Fair points but it was never in AAs interest to formally request a transfer.

OK AA really wants to stay at Rovers and it will break his heart to go to the PL and quadruple his wages. He didn't really need the Mowbray 'mental break'

Spot on. The interested clubs are playing their hand well. They have the cash, we don't, we want to sell, players wants to go. Mowbray has spent a year at least pushing this sale. In response to elsewhere Venkys will get their pants pulled down if they are not careful. Stubborn is one thing, pig-shit thick is another.

From RoversTV FAQS: ''If there is not a pay-per-view match pass available in your territory for the game you want to watch, then it is not available.'' My head is hurting.

My dad said lager was gnats piss so I took up beer as a hoppy. Good old days.

I saw a post saying that with AA we could have been 4 or 5 up by HT. Nonsense. AA is and always will be a 1 in 6 at best. Dolan's skill set and effort are to be admired but his shooting was lame. Great result for us but Swansea were awful. At HT I predicted they would gift us a goal - didn't take long to arrive. That was a game that made a nonsense of possession stats.

My memory may be fading but I thought Mowbray had already gone public and said no funds from the sale of AA for players. The storyline changes daily.

This appeared on the Club's website around about KO time yesterday. It confirmed that the Swansea game was on RoversTV but only in Unsold/Dark countries - which most of us had anticipated. The only option for an International Video Pass was the full season at 170 quid. No monthly or matchday video pass was offered. https://www.rovers.co.uk/news/2021/august/Watch-Rovers-v-Swansea-City-live-on-RoversTV-/ The real test of the capabilities of RoversTV comes when a game is not being broadcast anywhere else. I would however be interested to hear the viewing experience of anyone who watched via RoversTV.

Rothwell went for goal, and fluffed it. Enjoyed the game despite the weak referee.

The Swansea keeper must have had the most touches in the game. They have tried to give us a freebee and if they play the same they will. Oddly very happy to see Gallagher score from a central position. Dolan has some engine but he's not a central striker.

It really is a joke. Isn't it?
