If its off for snow it generally safety on the roads and the surrounding areas. Never because of the immediate area around the ground and the pitch. If traffic is moving its not an issue but if cars aren't getting up Cravens / Livesey easily its going to be seen as a problem.

Those lads from Chile must be thinking WTF?

I don’t. I think you’d be surprised how many of the ‘Oxford’ attendees would come out for that. Plus people who have never been to Wembley. For games like that, people tend to take their families as well. I know for the Worthy final I had family members who had been to Ewood only a handful of times in the previous 10 years going down with their partners. Not saying we would sell out but doubt it would be the numbers you are imagining. Lets hope we find out!

Agree. He also looks more agitated and animated during games now than at any point in the last 3 years.

I saw a guy try that at Wigan a few years ago and he got punched for his trouble. If I am in a stand and I toss a bottle on the pitch at an opposition player I would expect to get banned if I got caught. Therefore if I elected to do it I couldn't complain at any reprisals that action may have. I dont understand how anyone that did get banned could have any complaints about it. Do they seriously not think that is not what is going to happen to them?

That winning run didn't include Gallagher though. The problem with Gallagher is when he plays as this 'wide striker' role, he is simply ineffective picking the ball up outside the box or out wide. The winning run predominantly had Khedra in the side who, for his faults, can pick the ball up anywhere in the opposition 3rd and drive forward and look dangerous. If we are to persist with the formation which has gotten us this far, I think it has to be BBD and Khedra / Dolan in that role.

The stats for BBD in games he has played for Rovers recently don't make good reading and are a problem. I was more picking up on the fact that you were including games which he couldn't possibly have played in to make those stats worse. Games when he wasn't available as a first team play, just as Bradley Dack wasn't.

This is true, but therefore BBD scored against Argentina 😄

Rovers have gone over 40 games since Bradley Dack last scored. Fact. It’s a useless one mind you.

Problem is we would have played Carroll like we expected him to be Chris Waddle.

Better 2nd half. Back 3 outstanding, especially Nyambe. Bank the point and move on.

JRC or Deyo. Who Zeefuik is worse?

This is lacking basic ball retention. It’s like we’re 1-0 up in the last minute of a crucial cup tie.

Who, even under their previous manager, have only lost once at home and have by far the best home defensive record in the league.

Yes

Dembele 95th minute winner for Bournemouth

Results are currently going ok if you look up. 🙄

I remember Kevin Keegan said in the interview after the game that Gillespie himself said it wasn’t a penalty and that he ‘anticipated’ the contact and went down. I think that was Keegan doing Kenny a favour and taking any controversy out of it. I remember at the time thinking Penalty but watching it again it’s a rash challenge but he dives in mid air. It’s about 1hr 42 in on here.

I’ve only just seen a clip on twitter and haven’t heard any commentary or opinion. But if it’s not a foul (which Im not sure it is), then surely it has to be disallowed for offside. edit - Although apparently he doesn’t give that either

They mean “it’s too expensive…..when I can get it for free”

And I’ll say it again, on a weekly basis I talk to people around Blackburn who watch every game, who know all the players and who are fully tuned up on what’s happening at Ewood.. Many are former attendees, either regular or casual, at Ewood and yet have not been for several years. Stop iFollow thus stopping illegal streaming and attendances will go up. It really is the elephant in the room.

I’ve said it before. Ditch iFollow. Stop streaming the games. Get the IPTV viewers or dodgy streamers back in the ground.

Rovers odds against to not finish in the top 6. Fill your boots lads.

Completely off topic, but if Rovers thought Speedie's contribution was so difficult to replace and was probably worth £750+ to replace, had we gone to Southampton with £4million instead of £3.3million I'm sure they would have took it. Don't get me round I was gutted he left, but considering we could outbid and buy most players in the league at that point, we could surely have increased the bid to an offer that Saints couldn't have turned down.

It looks like you may be right reading the rule. So if a long ball if punted up field and Brereton chases it down the wing from the halfway line, finally gets to the ball level with the penalty area and the flag goes up, the defending team is ‘penalised’ by having the free kick on the edge of their own area instead of on the half way line. Odd.
