Rightly so. Petulant behaviour! -
Tony Mowbray Discussion
Leonard Venkhater replied to Neal's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Absolutely. This is my sense as well. He took a similar tone several months ago about the time of the home fixture against Barnsley. I think he knows he is losing the fans now because there is so little belief in any method or pattern of play. After 3 years there are still too many no-shows with square pegs in round holes/polished turds( choose your own description!) Any notion of a long term, slow build project is hardly supported by the number of replacements that are required this summer and in so many key positions. Despite loyal fans' fervent hopes and willingness to herald any flashes of improvement in Brereton and Gallagher, they are both down there with O'Mara, Chris Brown and our whole back catalogue of shit strikers. If this were a normal club, we would agree It needs a catalyst and a new broom (Gordon Lee/Souness/Mackay)....but you know the rest.... -
Barnsley v Rovers
Leonard Venkhater replied to roversfan99's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Proven failures, indeed. I am trying to think of any success brought by Gallagher on the right, yet TM continues to repeat the selection. I agree we are "bound" to try. I actually gave up believing at Derby. Lockdown brought naive sense of hope and Wigan screamed unbelief.. -

This also begs the question re TM's skill in the market and how optimistic we can be around the significant additions required. I have been reading people's analyses of TM's transfer dealings and what percentage of successful buys should be considered a good return etc. Statistics are one thing, but my own actual spectator experience is that TM's dealings do contain too much in the way of disappointments/dross...Johnson, Gallagher, Brereton, Samuel, Rothwell, Bell, Hart, Gladwin and Chapman all fit into that category for me. It is a significant worry for the future. -

Agreed. So much for TM's long term building strategy -
It wasn't a putdown or anything. I meant it.....starting to test my patience indeed! I think he is shit...there...said it....

Brilliant, that. Understatement is such a tonic- especially when I am raging!

BRFCS TV - Nostalgia Thread
Leonard Venkhater replied to Herbie6590's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Good idea...I would like to hear Arbitro's analysis of that infamous decision by a certain Spennymoor headmaster at Selhurst.... Also -under the heading of "Possible Atonement"- his comments on the high number of penalties awarded to Rovers in the 3(?) Rovers games he refereed after 1989! -

Now that is very funny... One of my wife's elderly aunties referred to Philip Schofield, as "coming out of the press!" -

So, as a child, you were sent to the shop for "messages", which you put away in the "press"? -

Slaughtered! But as for Giggs saying Hart "went too far", I guess his own brother might say a similar thing about him! -

Well done, everyone. This is a brilliant thread. I remember so many of these games very well. And I love the biblical hordes in the old fashioned Blackburn End... -

OMG! Must have missed that. I assume that was a game in which he made a boob? (An embarrassment of hubris is right up there up there with a murder of crows..) -

What happened in the tunnel? -
Alan Myers? Now there is someone with a Ph.D. in Venky Apologism! "Handshakes replacing snowballs" and other on-line gainsaying of any supporter criticism of the Raos.... He makes me bloody sick. How dare a mere PR pillock presume to reconcile fans of this historic club into accepting the unacceptable? What if this had happened to his beloved Everton? " If ya know yer 'istory" indeed!

Season Restart
Leonard Venkhater replied to joey_big_nose's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
As a season ticket holder, I must say I do have sympathy with the club, especially losing two big money makers in the Leeds and WBA games. I can even stomach not receiving any refund, but the idea of paying for a cardboard cut out of myself-£25.00 or £45.00 for one in pride of place- seems a wee bit tacky. I wonder if we could get giant ones of Steve Kean/Jerome Anderson/Owen Coyle? How the mighty have fallen! -
