Norwich in front at Wrexham.

Yep. That’s another shocking decision. Wonder if it makes Val’s list?

If a striker pushes a defender in the back with two hands and he goes down it’s a foul every time it happens. Do you know why? Because it’s clear and obvious. Refs shit out when it’s a penalty though The only thing I would say is the ref could be looking at the ball he misses it, but the linesman is looking across the line. But then linesman don’t have the balls to give them either.

Cantwell elbowed in the face. We know the ref is shit. But what annoys me is the lack of support / argument / complain from our lot. Just accept it and carry on.

Anywhere else on the pitch, or if it’s a lush on the defender, it’s given as a foul.

Like Coyle was, he will be here all through the transfer window to “align” with Rudy’s plans. In February he might become Rudy’s scapegoat.

Left footed centre backs blah blah blah. It’s all bollocks. You need centre halves who don’t put the ball in their own net in that position, and don’t watch the man and let him have a free header when the ball is coming the other way. It’s basic defending. If we have two Dom Hyams either side of a Danny Batth we don’t concede either of those goals. Might not be able to play a cultured ball up the left wing from the back though. 🙄

He played at Hull.

2-0. Who is the defender at the back post just watching the man and not watching the ball? Jesus Christ.

Toth is facing the guy putting the cross in. It’s difficult for him to be looking what’s behind him at the back post and giving Cashin a shout.

The two apparent founders of that board were two of the most personally abusive posters we had over here.

I've been away all week so only just catching up on goings on. Thenodrog 😀 Surprised that forum isn't called lancashireunitedfans In fact, I've just searched the term and he's still on about it now like he was on here back in 2005. The only way this football club can survive long term is if we merge with Burnley and Preston. 🙄

It was widely reported as the fee being €1.8 million. This is reported on several sites and the Telegraph reported it to be "in excess" of 7 figures. Of course this will be including lots of adds on's and stuff, but I imagine the selling fee will also include this. edit - "Blackburn target striker Gueye, 2.5mill could seal the deal" said Alan Nixon back in July 2024 before he signed.

He was under contract till 2027 anyway, so there was no need to sell and leave us with no strikers. Also read this from the Lancashire Telegraph, and then ask yourself if it sounds like we were desperate to keep him and offering him a new contract.

I'd be taking them to the cinema or Arcade Club or something. Or doing something else I rarely do with them whilst I have a "free" afternoon. Not spending on the ground, as a tactic, would only really work if it was implemented across a period of time / games rather than a one off which won't be either felt by the club or noticeable.

Wonder if that's what Colchester fans said when a young Sammy Szmodics didnt score in a season and a half for them when he started his professional career?

Credit to all the lads who have made their debuts this season who played today. They worked hard and held their own. But it was a dire, dire game with no quality.

As a season ticket holder I wouldn’t have that choice to make. That would be up to non-attendees. But if you want someone removed, financially rewarding them would be a bit odd. Other than to prove to the rest of the fan base that there is a significant number of people boycotting, what impact would it have on Suhail and the owners?

Not at all. I only tagged you in as you don’t seem to believe there generally are fans who think that Venkys have done OK and the criticism is over the top. Now if the Lancashire Telegraph did a 5 night special expose listing everything that’s happened, people would either be exposed to the truth for the first time, or believe it more than reading it on here or twitter. But that’s not going to happen. We have to accept that there is a portion of fans out there like this and any protest isn't going to be unanimous agreed with and followed. Therefore anything that is done needs to be as successful as possible by involving those who are aware and possibly aren’t happy with Venkys, even if they still attend. Which is why I don’t think doing something inside the ground as well on the 24th will work, as it just dilutes the protest. I also think that as many people against the owners aren’t there, it would be difficult for someone like @Wheelton Blue (possibly , I don’t know) to face away from the pitch holding up a red card for 2 minutes, when the majority of the stand may not want to take part in that protest. That would only work if there were enough people in the ground to take part.

Depends on the situation. I’m not going to start shouting back across a couple of rows to correct them, nor do I want to spend 10 minutes during a game trying to outline all of the Venkys wrongs they don’t know about. But I heard it said (about the chants / pitch) in the pub after the Sheff Wednesday game and I had a long conversation chatting to two lads. They didn’t know half of the issues, but I also felt like they didn’t believe it either as I couldn’t really prove much on the spot.

If people choose not to boycott a single game with the Watford game, I doubt the same people would protest in the ground. For example turn their backs for 5 minutes, show red cards etc.. Any protest inside the ground will occur next to people who think it’s stupid / pointless and many people will naturally be less confrontational . Therefore an in ground protest as well on the 24th would be spun as “most people are happy”, as the majority who would take part won’t be in the ground. The other point is @Dreams of 1995 says “I am of the opinion that all supporters have the same opinion - that the Venkys have been nothing short of a disaster for Blackburn Rovers.”, but we have to accept he is wrong. Not on the opinion, which I agree with, but there is a significant portion of attending adults who do not think they are doing that bad a job. For the abandoned games, a group around me were laughing at the Venkys out chants, saying Venkys cant control the weather whilst being unaware of the lack of investment in the pitch. Those people don’t read sites like this or social media. They won’t be aware of Brockhall, FF minutes, payday loans from some guy in Bolton, court cases in India etc.. They just think they put the money in and the managers fail.

I’m not sure he’s that good, but I’m also adamant if he was under contract longer he would have featured at some point instead of Henriksson and Diamini up front. If we did go down it would be more mismanagement.

Could be worse. We could have been Millwall this weekend.

Mac 1-0 up at half time. 117 places between them. The biggest shock in FA Cup history is on the cards.

I’d actually take Bishop as a backup striker. A goal every 240 minutes last season in this league is better than Ohashi. Before that he scored 41 goals in 2 seasons in league one and won Pompey player of the season. (A goal every 180 mins). Clearly having a bad year this year.
