Sheff Utd...or the Blunts as @CP Company Lad used to call them. Lets hope he had a good scrap to compensate

So gonna enjoy them failing to get up if it happens. 

They've had a thread on one of their messageboard for about 2 weeks now: "Potential targets  after promotion".

Methinks someone has "got ahead of themselves".

Wigan have some tough games.

Fingers crossed it's them who drop.

Amen.

Cook, and them relishing in our demise,win my vote in the race all day long.

Glad we hammered their goal difference last night too.

What goes around, comes around.  

Some quotes from the commentator last night that made me chuckle:

"That was pretty unconvincing by Raya."  (a kicked clearance)

"That was a hefty touch by Armstrong"

"Blackburn have been having some difficulties in defence recently. "

You could basically shoehorn those into any game of any stage of this season.

He didn't just get Evans (who plays for wigan) name wrong, he also talked about the wrong Evans as well, saying he'd been called up to the Northern Ireland squad lol

He doubled down!

Bold.

Literally just lost four 50/50s in a row, cmon lads better than that

Crazy weren't it. How bad is that.

Was screaming in living room:  and another lost.... and another......Yep one more...

Aaarrgghh!

Fair assessment that BB.

Seems about right, but still slightly nervous. 

Annoying that we have to even consider this.

We were so comfortable at one point, players have let themselves down.

Assuming he means if you go up automatically - or maybe even at all.

I actually meant win the league, cos that is what he has proclaimed confidently for about 5 weeks now. 

But it's all for a bit of fun and good causes, so I would probably stretch to automatic.

Anyway,  he's bottled it so no matter. Must be something they put in the water in Yorkshire, or maybe he's wearing a white shirt today. ?

I actually still think we will.

Woof woof.

Come on then fella, let's pony up with a wager to make things interesting.

I already have my bet with a Wigan pal for who finishes higher of us two. 

Would be fun to have something going at the other end of the table as I check the scores each week. 

For a charity bet, a quick Google of sites that have easy donation options that are provable gives me:

Disability Sports Yorkshire (If I lose)

Blackburn Food Bank (If u lose)

What you willing to stump up for a couple of worthwhile causes?

£20 or £30?

An article from last month predicting eventual finishes, based on xG. We're slipping pretty quickly towards the 18th we were tipped for in the article (we were 10th at the time).  

Well 18th was our position in the league table someone posted of club squad values.

We were 18th and Wigan 19th.

At the time the 2 clubs were oceans apart. 

Could well see us both ending in those positions.

I used to be on a " Rolex " owners site. It was run by Americans mainly for Americans with more money than good taste. A guy comes on with a photo of a watch he's just bought _ " What do we all think of the watch ? " Well I tell him, the dial is too cluttered, I don't like roman numerals, etc " . A bit later on the mods get on to me for spoiling his pleasure ! Couldn't I have been more positive about his purchase ? " He asked me for my opinion then didn't like what I said. Snowflakes are everywhere these days.

I told 'em what I thought and walked away from the site.

That is some contrasting pastimes you have there.

So, you go from debating the asthetics of fancy watches, to people frothing at the mouth on here about Brereton, Smallwood, and Williams. 

Talk about light and shade.

Please tell me the other 2 bookmarks on your browser are a stamp collecting and BDSM website and my day will be complete. ?

Baffles me that some Rovers would even want him out ? 

He brought you up last season and you are mid table in the Championship. 

Some big clubs in the league with big expectations and budgets to back it up.

Sounds to me like quite a few on here have expectations way way too high.

Reading the match day thread it's pretty obvious quite a few of the more vocal and prolific posters don't even go on yet are first to stick the boot in your manager after a poor run of results.

Be careful what you wish for because like us you have had some shite at the helm in recent years and now you have a manager that has brought a bit of stability yet some of you want him out.

Mark Hughes was mentioned 

Why focus on the 4% and not the 96%?

4% of Leeds fans (I'm being kind!) are racist thugs that wanna stab someone in the face. 

But I wouldn't waste my day focusing on them. Because I'm sure it's not a reflection on the 96% of upstanding, responsible, caring members of the Leeds fraternity.

"Blackburn have had their opportunities" as the graphic shows our one attempt on target.

?

They probably think we've done well to muster 1 shot at goal, considering how woeful the entire team has been front to back.  

Just now, Husky said:

Yes, they are often that clueless at Sky.

Like our Championship relegation game where for 10 mins they had no idea that a goal in another game saved us. 

I mean you've been booked and paid hansomely to work on Championship relegation day. Do your sodding research!

That can't be right can it. 

2016 against brentford last time we came from behind to win

I thought that.

Maybe he's only meaning Championship and not including League 1. 

Just now, JHRover said:

Not as bad as the referee against Bristol City. Minimum of 1 minute in the first half, yet only 40 seconds played. Minimum of 4 minutes in the second half, yellow card issued for their keeper during that time, yet the whistle blown bang on 4 minutes.

Sound like moaning minnies, but I wouldn't care if it was fair both ways round.

I'm sure there's been a couple of times at Ewood this season where a min or two has been tacked on when we were trying to cling on to points .

Don't know why, but it's something that really winds me up.

4 on the board

Thank you. 

Well that's a disgrace then.

Not saying we would have scored, could have had 15 extra mins and our lot would have huffed and puffed to nothing.

Not the point tho, it sets a very dangerous precedent. 

This wasn't the usual players pissing about looking to waste time. There was NO ball on the pitch TWICE for a good amount of time, all while a ballboy just stood there not even trying to look for it.

That ref has just given any team free reign to do the same thing in future.

It's cheating, end of. And refs are supposed to be there to stop cheating.  

Was watching a European game the other night (forget which country), and there was 2 mins injury time. There was a player went down , a sub etc and the clock ticked to 92 whilst the team chasing an equaliser set up a free kick.

The ref went over and said: when u strike the ball for this free kick, your 2 mins starts then. 

Proper reffing that. 

Anybody?!......How much injury time was on board?

I know in grand scheme of things there are bigger issues but it's bugging the hell out of me.

Only 4min30 of added time played also bizarre.

 

How many were on the board?

Missed it.

It was out of play "lost" for about 2 mins in injury time tho. 

Gonna be one of those nights.

BB skies a sitter. 

It's all right.  We're back to 0-0. 

Bell could get away with crap defending like that if he was contributing anything going forward. 

Brereton done well this half.

Effort, nice touches, running at people,  always looking to go forward.

This is more like it.
