Bygones are bygones, I'm afraid.

Quite. So many appear to have re-written our history for the pre-Walker years and it serves as a reason for accepting the unacceptable. Since 2012, we have hardly even made the play-off positions in the 2nd tier. Going nowhere, then in reverse. Our last dip into the 3rd tier was largely an anaesthetic for our Venky disease, although it did create a feel-good factor for a while.. However, we pissed away the momentum. FOV!

That is what is so galling. We all knew and we have known for at least two windows. Tony knew too....

"Walton is shite. I could have done better with my hands in my pockets" ??

Tony was plumbing the depths when he played him at Charlton...

Defeats are coming

Completely, I'm afraid...

...and then die....

Astronomical-Armstrong on the moon!

same here

Excellent, DB. You are wasted on here!.. Next, the blue and white man's burden....

Rudyard Rovers, we are here... If you can tinker -and make tinkering your aim; If you can meet with disaster and disaster, Yet your tactics remain the same....

"Move on. Get real!"

A double whammy really. Sacking Big Sam, then replacing him with the inexperienced reptile- which had always been the plan, apparently.. When I was getting anxious about the prospect of the new ownership, I consoled myself in the knowledge that the emerging stewardship of the Walker "Trust" was taking us down anyway-certainly, within a couple of seasons. What a miserable nightmare this has been!

Anger is coming!

Interesting. Most of the seasons in the so-called 80's dark times saw the Rovers in with a shout certainly until February. Hence Bill Fox's quote "We get promoted in February." The Venky's years in the second tier have all been like a Beckett play. No point, nothing happens.

In the old days, we would bite the bullet, sell Dack and use a percentage of the fee to build a balanced squad. The heartbreaking sale of Tony Field allowed us to build a promotion-winning team. But that would take someone with the nous of Gordon Lee in the transfer market. Tony's transfer record is a huge worry for me. Even the purchase of Dack can't make up for the likes of Brereton and Gallagher and the woeful imbalance in the squad.

Management issue: the defence is not fit for purpose. This has been a problem for several transfer windows.TM said emphatically that he, himself, knew it was a significant problem. It has not been addressed.

The Alan Spratley incident at Ewood and the Jim Brown one a few years later. Rovers fans, chanting Kingsley Read's Blue and White Army on the London underground in the 70's. Paul Agnew saying on Radio Lancs that " the emergence of Jason Lowe" was the reason for Salgado losing his place....

"Post snatcher" lol

Our very own Titus Oates is plumbing new depths. An attention-seeking controversialist, seeking to ride on the post Bulgaria indignation. I think this is a low blow and up there with the "dark forces" slander.

It seemed clear to me that the reason they got mentioned in the first place was because posters are conscious that we are so shit at the minute...and we are!

Seriously? Well, here goes. Bazza said Bell was a million times better than Goulon. You said Bell is not a million times better than anyone. My diplomatic conclusion is that, in a sense, you are both right. ...because, I thought it was well established that Goulon was worth nothing ( in terms of contribution to BRFC)..... Well, it is more interesting than the current Blackburn Rovers...

A million x 0 = 0

But I would have preferred a public execution on a hot afternoon in Dubai...Oh well..
