Football League Suspended
Oldgregg86 replied to Kamy100's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
This is going to be controversial but I will say it anyway. Players would have more support if they weren’t being pictured partying and not social distancing etc in public. With the exception of jack Grealish the culprits were all in the BAME category . Just an observation. And yes I accept it’s a small few but it doesn’t help. Discuss -

If I was an owner that’s what I would be doing. It is what it is. If you don’t want to play after every play has been tested in the most sterilised environment possible then that’s fine but you arnt getting paid. There would be no repercussions on my behalf for not playing and to argue you should get paid for doing nothing after being asked back to work is crazy. I’d love to see what my boss would say if I said no I’m not coming back but I still want a wage. -

For me any player should be able to refuse to play. Any player that refuses to play doesn’t get paid . It’s that simple for me -
This was the year I got my very first season ticket ?

Travis has personality on the pitch where it matters and off it he has never caused a fuss or ruffled any feathers. A true professional that I’m honoured to watch in a blue and white shirt for as long as he is here and when the time comes for him to further his career I will wish him all the best and hopefully use the the transfer fee to replace him or improve the first team squad . The way forward is getting good fees for our prospects and improving the squad with the money . The way Brentford have. There is no shame in being a stepping stone if the player gives his all whilst in a blue and white shirt

There is a thing called cup therapy using suction cups. I don’t know anything about it just saw something on it once , something to do with blood flow to help blood to an area and help healing . Maybe that at a guess. It could also be where his beer cans have been resting ?

Rovers in Netflix football series

I noticed the blue half was on the left on some and right in others. So historically it doesn’t matter -

I do like your mentality vinjay. I agree with quite abit of what your saying and some I thinks crazy but I do get where your coming from. I don’t think supporting teams in the MLS is the best way to get away from commercialism though and if Las Vegas has a team then I should imagine it would be the exact opposite of what your looking for . -

Now I can get behind most of that . I would fully back all players to speak there mind and say it how it is . We signed players like Bellamy before and that paid off. I just don’t agree with downsizing the academy, signing “characters” if they aren’t going to put the club first or bringing maradona here. I’m all for thinking outside the box but there is being innovative and there’s kamakaze and whilst I can agree on some things your saying I also think you need to remember what Blackburn rovers actually is, a proud historic football club in the not so cosmopolitan part of east lancashire. It isn’t thinking small or being defeatist to remember your roots and be proud of what you are. I would rather watch average hard working footballers than try and turn us into a circus for corporate gain and media publicity -

So downsize the academy and sign players like Anthony stokes , sack Mowbray and sign maradona . Am I missing something seriously because I’m struggling with this -
Arguing if the keeper caught it out the box which would be a stone scratch, jumper, can or something random , there was always one keeper who would run out and catch the crosses miles away from the goal so had to make a “box” good times

I was pointing out how ridiculous as always your post was . The point wasn’t to be insulting the point was to highlight all the things your advocating or suggesting have failed and failed miserably whilst the complete opposite happened down the road to great success i would have worded it differently if I had known that city fans got defensive over their Yorkshire neighbours -

The venkys grabbed all the headlines for the wrong reasons, signing beckham and Ronaldinho, why hasn’t the keeper scored more, 5 million and champions league football, jacks legacy, manager after manager, the stupid advert, the fans vs the fans vs kean, agents, agents sons and even a nonce for a mascot. I even recall us being linked with maradona as the manager I don’t recall that working out to well with the fan base being decimated, the debt bigger and more unsustainable then ever , league one and the biggest bunch of losers to ever wear the blue and white halves in my life time . We were literally only missing the Netflix special and thank Christ we never had to endure that . Meanwhile our six fingered friends up the road where off to Aberdeen on there jollies and barely got mentioned in the telegraph -

And yet growing up in Wigan surrounded by jjb shops owned by former rover Dave whelan and I would have to get my dad to drive me to Blackburn or Bolton to get shirts. Really used to annoy me that. I once saw a gillingham shirt on the rail and your usual shirts untied Liverpool Newcastle Bolton Wigan but not a rovers shirt on site. Never will understand that -
I always thought of hignett as a really good, versatile and reliable option. A solid back up player.
