Transfer Window - COMPLETE. Where’s Gregg?
Silas replied to chaddyrovers's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
👀 Brereton v Chapman debate September 2022 feels like a different animal. -
Anyway..... enough of the Burnley love in 🤮🤮 and back to more important matters, my Friday night entertainment. Looking like it could be an enjoyable night. Burnley only won 2 of last 11 H2H. And only won ONCE at The Hawthorns since 1969. Sign me up to that record thank you very much. Pack of beers, takeaway and......🍿🍿🍿. C'mon WBA!

I'm just glad they're all questions we've kicked down the road for 4 months now. But on the bit in bold, if we were midtable mediocrity he would have my blessing to slack off, but if we were in a 'battle' (top 6/relegation) there's no way he wouldn't put his literal body on the line for us, I don't have an ounce of doubt. -

I was guessing you get adds ons just for appearances. Maybe International apps and goals too. But I'm maybe basing that on Champ Manager experience mainly. 🤷🏻♂️ -

The only figure written on these pages that's tempted me is the 15 + 5 million add ons. That I would have dealt at. Don't believe any club got anywhere near that. So delighted BBD is still here till Jan. -

So much this. Loved that grin tonight. Whatever happens tomorrow I'm a lifetime fan, and will support his career regardless. A real rare breed in modern football. Good on him. -
How is Madine not booked.
-
What a first(ish) forward thinking touch it was though. Sublime.

More importantly, hide Vale's quick!

Tony Mowbray's Reign...& is he off to Sunderland ?
Silas replied to roversfan99's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
You'll like him at the beginning, be non-plussed in the middle when he's doing an adequate job, and fuming by the end when everything wrong at the club is somehow all the fan's fault. Enjoy the journey. -

Barkley being linked to West Ham, Rangers, and even Newcastle on social media. Moyes has commented on him: I don't know in which alternate universe he's rocking up at our training ground tomorrow. The Upside Down maybe. -

His brother saying he's got news that will rock the World and make Pogba unfit to represent France at the WC. 🤔 -

Imagine having your best friends from childhood and your own brother turn on you just because......... you're rich. Rough. We all knock these superstars, I certainly do, but it must be an very isolating life from a fairly early age. -
You love to see it. I've watched it about 7 times alread.

Any chance we can nail down a yardstick of what's an acceptable result so I can make judgement, otherwise timed deadlines are pointless. Seen it every window, just gets changed up then to still being pathetic if 'you're unhappy only x players came in, should consider yourself lucky we got some over the line'. And then on the merry-go-round seems to go. But maybe it's just me. I'm thinking 3 solid players minimum, ones that are certainly expected to compete for the team sheet. Anything less than that is a big first window failure for me. You got an expected 'adequate' level? -
Me too. I think I'm too conditioned to looking at the feet and the line across the pitch. But it's usually the shoulder lean forward that's the mark, and that can add half a metre or so. That's my theory anyway. Loads that are given look offside to me.

The lady behind called Karen by any chance. There's an expression that's summoned a few managers over the years. -
Think Sancho was surprised no-one was moving towards him when he lifted his head.

Monday night entertainment at OT tonight. Sky are even starting their MNF show half hour early to cover the drama. If they get the game cancelled though I'll be raging. Looking forward to seeing Liverpool rip them apart. And there's no way you can allow a club's fans to get games cancelled twice in 18 months without chucking serious sanctions at them. Would be a very dangerous precedent to set. The ideal scenario would be a decent points deduction to leave them really rooted in the relegation spots. 🤞

v Sheffield United (a) - 20/8/22

Google says last three games we've had 3 shots on target, our opponents have had 21. Horrific. -

Silas replied to Upside Down's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Nah, just exactly the same. Carbon copy, groundhog day, different day same shit........ and any other clichés you want to chuck at it. It's never-ending pain, all blurs into one now, could literally be Henning Berg or right-good-go Bowyer in the dugout. Makes no difference, we always seem to have the same group of surrender monkeys on the pitch. Which is weird cos there's different names on the back of the shirts. I sometimes wonder if I'm in cryostasis. Genuinely don’t know which would be worse- being a Rovers fan 2010-2022 or just being a brain in a jar. 🤔 -
No idea, if it was I missed it. If it was in the transfer thread, blink and you've missed about 10 pages.

https://www.google.com/amp/s/newrepublic.com/amp/article/159252/noor-one-vampire-ship-heroin-turkey-greece-corruption-scandal I did not know about all this. Sounds like he's one of the most dangerous and powerful gangsters in Europe...allegedly. Fit and proper person surely in no doubt. 🤔 It's stories like this that leave me with little sympathy for those crying foul over Newcastle and SA. Football is rife with shady characters and organisations, some that inflict untold misery on populations. If we're going to call out one, we need to call them all out. Not just pick the one that is richest or looks like being most successful. Sour grapes tends to undermine a moral crusade imo.
