Calf problem. He got a tattoo on it.

Off topic but you've given me a slight way in here. Myles Anderson, who is still playing, spent longer on the salary books at Rovers than at any of the other substantial number of clubs in his career.

It’s halloween , not April Fools Day. 😀😀

I just think your wrong. It wasn’t out of context. The interviewer was praising Rothwell for his contribution to the game and Mowbray decided to drop in those lines. If he was here for the next 3 years but not listening to his manager I could understand going public (think Souey and Dunny). But when you are trying to convince a player to sign a new contract those quotes serve no purpose. It’s just stupidity. However, as stated, I think he’s making his excuses for why he’s not bothered Rothwell will be leaving.

I told one of our staff today that she needs to make more notes in meetings as she forgets some of the things she has to do. I didn't post it on our social media accounts though.

Regardless of the final line, Joe Rothwell wakes up to read that we have to put an extra body in midfield if we play him because he isn't that good. I listened to the interview live on Radio Lancs @roversfan99 and whinged about it to my mate straight away. He also criticises hi first half showing. You dont get players to sign new contracts by criticising half of their performance publicly when they won you the match, and then by stating that playing him give you a problem as you have to play an extra man in midfield because he's not good enough. It all points to Mowbray excusing why he's not bothered about losing Rothwell when he's out of contract. Later on in the interview he states that on Saturday "if he's honest" Reading may have had better individuals and technical players in the game. Who put in a better individual performance or technical performance than Dolan and Rothwell in that game? It is said just to keep that whole "aren't we doing well to compete" smoke screen up.

Well I don't know where you sit but if Brereton was coming on generally from the Blackburn End he always got support. I never heard 'groans' from the crowd as a group. Audibly, the Rovers crowd have always been 100% behind Brereton at games. What some people don't like is the fact that individual fans, whether on social media, on here, in the pub or even in the ground can have a negative view of one of their players - but that has always happened here and at all other clubs. You go on Facebook and say you think Brereton is a waste of space and you will get people angrily and bluntly stating that Rovers fans shouldn't hold that opinion about one of their own players (even though that's all it is - an opinion). And after a bad performance and a defeat where Brereton has been poor, I can imagine someone making the Birmingham story up as a way of deflecting blame onto the people they've spent all week arguing with on Facebook. As others have said, nobody could corroborate the story.

Facebook excuse list:- What can you expect, they’re a premier league team. ❌ What can you expect, look at their crowds compared to ours. ❌ What can you expect, look at their budget, ❌

I'm not a Cantona fan at all but I do find amusing the thought of Matthew Simmons running down a few rows of steps to undoubtedly hurl quite a bit of abuse. About 5 seconds later he's probably thinking "shit I wasn't expecting that". It's like people hurling abuse on twitter that they wouldn't say to someone face to face because they think that there can be no comeuppance. Only that time there was.

I don't know the setup and safety issues at Bloomfield but if Preston had got 1000 more tickets at Turf Moor than Rovers fans were getting a couple of weeks later we'd be kicking off about it.

That’s just bizarre. I’m not surprised PNE fans are fuming.

His defensive recruitment policy is the stuff of idiots. We're never short of lightweight midfielders though.

Defenders are coming. If only they had.

When we've read it as a direct quote from Mowbray it hard not to form that opinion.

Yep. Look at Wilder V Fury 2. Fury outboxed him again but he also physically manhandled him from the first bell.

Great to see the twitter videos of the kids in the JW lower. Unfortunately:- “Dad I loved it. Can we go next week.?” “Sorry son. It’s almost £45 for both of us to attend next week. “

That was probably the only away game I've been to where we lost but I enjoyed it anyway. I think we were clutching at straws a bit so it wasn't a huge disappointment but the fans travelled in big numbers and it was a great atmosphere. It was a big sporting weekend as well. United won the title that day, Jimmy White lost 18-17 the same day for another glorious failure at the Crucible and it was the weekend of the Ayrton Senna tragedy at Imola.

It's in the article. Championship restarts after the group stages.

Can someone change the subject title to 2022 instead of 2021 please.

This has just been discussed on Sky - https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11095/12414519/premier-league-to-resume-on-boxing-day-2022-after-break-for-qatar-world-cup-from-november-13 Basically next season both the Premier League and Championship start 1 week earlier and will have a break during the world cup. Lets hope we have a decent understudy to Kaminsky available by December 2022 as we may be without him !

From the article:- This only makes sense if you are going to be challenging for promotion. If you're not then it could be the same kind of season except your losses are against Luton and Millwall instead of Liverpool and Man City. Last year we lost 41% of the games we played in the Championship. Burnley lost 39% of the games they played in the Premier League.

Don't get me wrong be happy with Huddersfield at £10 a ticket. Anything 'attractive' to try and encourage extra attendances. Our previous 'promotions' have been based on trying to increase low profile games, low income games which don't appeal to the imagination.

That's because they bundle shite games together. People often have to decide which game to attend over Christmas. Bundle them both. Also I presume this still enables you to charge the away fans full whack. £10 for either of those games would work but to increase the crowd but they would lose the away crowd income as they would also need to be charged a tenner.

I don't know what the laws are with regards to 'game bundles' but looking at the fixtures the 2 'Christmas' games which are Barnsley on the 29th and Huddersfield on New Year's Day should be £40 for both games and something ridiculously low like £6 for kids tickets. Try that instead of bundling or promoting some midweek end-of-season dead rubbers against London clubs.

From Waggots interview which has surfaced in the last hour- Asked if he felt the pricing structure at the club, with the cheapest ticket for a Category A+ match £36, was affordable to the people of the town, Waggott responded: “We’ve tried to make it so that the season ticket prices are what we base everything on. “Adult prices are £17 per ticket and senior citizens work out at £12. Which is basically a big screw you to anyone who can't get to all games because of work or travel commitments. It's also hardly a policy to encourage people to try coming to Ewood again (or for the first time).
