Well wasn’t that a half of Mowbray ball? Ahhh….the memories…the boring infuriating memories…

Thanks! Gave me a much needed chuckle.

So…to try and be positive: Hope Kargbo gets another start with Beck behind him. Hope they strike up a partnership. Hope Gueye start with Dennis cameo. And that’s it…

This business is all about money. The only thing an out of work coach/manager would look at is the paycheck. Why do you think Eustace took the job at Rovers? For some of these guys it’s not about reputation it’s all about money in the bank. FFS…look at our managers before Mowbray. It’s a cash and grab. Pay me 10k a month and I’ll be your manager even if you fire me after 4 games. I don’t care. Just pay up or shut up. And thus JDT and Eustace walked hand-in-hand out the door and lived happily ever after! The evil chickens in the east continued to prepare their master plan that some day will show everyone who was right! Bah - enough internet for today….until 8 that is.coyb.

Not long before the saudis offer a new passport as part of a new deal. Haaland will be Norwegian and Saudi, but prefer to play for Saudi as it is better paid and he can play with Mbappe in the WC. Just wait. International football is no less stupid than domestic leagues, and the saudis has the money to prove it.

All talks of closeness to family etc should never be uttered at Blackburn Rovers. Robbie Savage saw to that in his transfer from Birmingham. Laughed my ass off at that one, but always thought I would be furious if I were a Brum-fan…..untill they became Big Club:-D (for those borne after 2000: check out what you can find on this transfer. Entertaining!)

I’ve always enjoyed your overly positive posts for what they are, chaddyrovers, but looking at your reactions last week has me really worried. You are usually the one to find light where there is only darkness….even if it is actually dark. Hope something happens that will bring that over the top positivity back to you, mate. This truly is the most horrible timeline!

After looking at Wikipedia (yeah I know…) I wouldn’t mind him coming. Might be another one ala Eustace (who I did not want….how wrong I was). He’s done ok as interim manager in clubs not unlike Rovers when it comes to the madhouse factor, so that would imply he’d be able to do some work here. Not necessary head coach for 3 years but in the interim untill summer? Sure. Get him in. Not my first choice, but look at where we are. Can and probably will do worse.

Impossible to say this one. Will the players be poorly motivated and kinda deflated after last days chaos? Or will they for some reason come out roaring to perhaps attract a decent manager? What about the new guys? And who picks the team? Not sure I can conjure up enough mental strenght to watch this one tonight, but going by previous shitshows I’ll probably be glued to the screen again at 8. Prediction? 2-2. A dodgy penalty and an OG puts Rovers ahead. West Brom score 2 at the end and just unlucky not to get 3. Director of the movie in my head: M. Night Shyamalan (what a twist!) - so it’s gonna be ok until you start thinking about it and then it’s to late. You’ve already parted with your money and it turns out everyone was dead all along. Fuck this timeline!

100% agree with jim mk2, but it probably won’t happen. We will rather end up with a cheap gamble from abroad that noone has heard of except Gestede. Bah.

Can’t vote for Ribeiro, Dennis or Woodrow

What a weird game that was to experience. At first happy to see our new signings performing and then 5 min later find out about Eustace leaving then Wolves scoring. Poof! Absolutely numb and deflated to be honest. Really hope he stays and we can build on some of the performances today.

Kargbo off for Weimann. Kargbo my MotM unless something special happens. Great debut.

Cantwell for Big Mak ACD off for Dolan

Really positive start to 2nd half. Pull on back and it’s game on

Gueye to come in 2nd half to score his first hattrick. Please let it happen!

2-0. Game over. Harsh and unfair, but here we are.

Of fuck me….Toth keeps the legacy of our keepers going. Mongo is appaled!

Hate to say it but with VAR we would be at least 1-0 up + a penalty

Is this ref drunk? Time to put the conspiracy hat on. oh…and the new guys have been brilliant

That was…not good.

Let’s win this. Header from Hyam will do. COYB!!

That is just the point. Keep transfers to the summer and make owners plan for an entire season. Injuries and suspensions is part of the game. Plan accordingly. Or tell the fans that we can always fix it in january and what we have is probably good enough anyway. Repeat ad nausem. I stand by my previous post: it’s stupid.

This january window business is just getting stupider and stupider every season. Not just at Rovers but cross the entire EFL. This season EVERYONE needs a striker or a forward. And the respective owners of clubs just dally along promising strikers, Ronaldhinio or the next Haaland whether you are in League 2 or PL. A way to balance the books perhaps? Keep putting things off? A way for the relegated clubs to use their financial muscle to steal players from competing clubs? I don’t care anymore. So please just go back to transfers only in summer. That way the respective owners will have to plan for the entire season, and not just wait and see if things are ok come january. It is the same shitshow every season and it is just getting worse. We - fans and supporters and particulary those that travel - deserve better and need to know that the middle of the season won’t define the entire season based on transfers…..like losing your top striker or midfielder to another club to keep the lights on. It is just stupid so stop it! But by all means I would love some mouthwatering transfers in january, but the more I think about it I’d rather have that player at the start of the (pre-)season. This thing is just disruptive and dumb. Get it over with and roll on with the rest of the season. Give me a couple of wins and all is forgiven. Rant over.

Site is all wonky and I can't post from the iPad. Tried Chrome, Firefox and Brave on the pad. Posting from android phone now, but still looks off. Brilliant first half! Who is this new striker? Gueye?
