Many interesting words from many long long suffering fans….and I respect those who still “ follow “ away from hone . Clearly, yesterday was a bridge too far for many …but, after 60 years of following, my pain yesterday was low… I have been numbed by Mowbray/ Venkys / weak players who have little if any pride in the shirt… I felt nothing …and I felt better for it . Until we as a club and a town are rid of the parasites, the suckers of life , pride and decency…we are a what we are …a broken club , without crutches crawling our way down the football pyramid. Ive spent many days at Stanley this year….it’s not the same because it’s not my club but I witness effort, pride , transparency and people who appreciate support…..until we go “ to the wall “…eg Bolton, Blackpool , Bury….we are finished. Venkys ruined my love of Rovers and Mowbray had killed any love of football….but, remember… he’ll never be a burden 🤬

It’s not the draw that appalls me …it’s the whole “ set up “ at Ewood ….I’m at the stage where I want the club I have supported for 60 years to lose …to be rid of this man , who’s name I cannot bring myself to say …as true supporters we are conned, we are disrespected, we are of no interest to the club management or leadership…. We are Blackburn Rovers ….and they are the worst set of employees I have seen in a long, long time ……our “ dug out” is beyond words …no heart, no balls, no brain , no guts …come August …and they are in situ…..it will be THE END …of our club as we know it ..

This is beyond dreadful…nothing on the pitch , nothing off it ..a shambles…the JOURNEY has to come to an end….each loss / draw has to terminate this man’s time at Ewood… preferably tonight ..but I will settle for May.…..

Someone to replace Mowbray

“ We’re on our way back “🎼…..we certainly are…back to where we were when this man arrived… but….He’s been given time, given money ,given support from a very weary fan base …and what has he given us ??…..a miserable demeanour, a voice that is always economical with the truth ,lineups which defy description, a club that looks tired and a divided fan base. IF he is here after this season this club will fall further and further ..in front of “ crowds “ that will become smaller and smaller …with TM we ARE on our way back !

Your last sentence nails it for me …” Who else are going to get?”…..it’s the perfect example of why we are where we are….how far have we fallen ? Scandalous 🤬

Ewood looks tired..the players look tired…Mowbray has looked tired all his life …..the fan base ( those in attendance and otherwise ) are tired of him, his dated methods, his constant criticism of his young players, his personal need to play players out of position… If he is still in post after this season what is left of the fan base will be more than tired it will disintegrate further… Clearly, the chances of promotion are slim….but if our annual fall down the table is enough to see him out …that in itself will feel like promotion to me ..

I daren’t type what I want to type….I would be arrested….but.. MOWBRAY….for the love of God GO …How on earth can this man take a wage ?

How can one man, because of WHERE he places 11 other men , ruin the Derby result and lead us, once more , into the wilderness No words Mowbray 🤬

…and to think some were sucked in by this man who has the audacity to believe he’s saved the club……at least the end is in sight …HE MUST be gone in May …we will have little left in terms of playing staff ..but with him gone we can build…..

Kaminski..started the rot…terrible error at this level Zeefuik…is he another injury every game lad Rankin Costello….VERY limited , can’t believe he gets a squad shirt .. he’s physically weak Lenihan….decent, stupid yellow Van Hecke …hammered by the bully Mitrovic ..shouldn’t have tried to go toe to toe….bad decision led to first goal Wharton ….steady ..a couple errors could have been more costly Pickering..😳…very slow, poor reading of game …was embarrassed by Wilson Travis …slow thinking , slow moving …terrible form at the moment Johnson….should NOT be playing at this level ….unfit Giles….grew into game ( some felt he should have crossed when choosing to shoot late on )…..but he is SOOOOO left footed he hadn’t a chance Khedra… did little or nothing before “ injury “ Dolan….did what he does …he ran…but no end product Gallagher ….a very limited player …but, in his defence, he did show some intent Rothwell…..too little too late Mowbray….suffering as he has been found out….back to players out of position, no plan B ( what is his plan A? ) realising ..it’s all gone tits up It’s hurt to type the truth …but we are such a limited club….Forest, Shef Utd, Huddersfield, QPR , Middlesbrough….even Luton on the rise ….as we wonder where our next goal is coming from….

The square pegs return…Rankin Costello at RB ? …James Brown must be bad Dolan at false 9 ? Giles wide right? …..it’s been a terrible half …we look clueless ….Kaminski …an unforgivable error at this level When Mowbray has to think …we fail.

A difficult day today and it could be somewhat defining for us as a club, short term and long term. Which ever 11 Mowbray puts out there need to be strong physically and mentally …this is an area I question ..eg why was Khadra ( loan player ) allowed near the penalty …where were the Lenihans, the Pickerings, the Travis’ ?? We’re seen by other fans as being dirty , tough, uncompromising…I only see stupid yellow cards ,strange challenges …and as for “ Strongman” , Travis ….he’s no more than a clown who needs to concentrate on his responsibilities not the crowd . I hope to see the present slump arrested…but I do hope that Mowbray puts the necessary bollocking words in their ears as they leave the dressing room….NOT ….you’re a young blossoming team..go out and enjoy it ….I’m looking for MEN today who pull on that shirt and SHOW that it matters….we will see !

All of my posts over the last 2 seasons have been very anti Mowbray ..his negativity, his blaming of younger players, his playing of square pegs in round holes, his criticism of fans and his crazy team selections . ….tonight I have to acknowledge what he is doing..whether he’s “ fallen “ on this selection , whether he’s decided that football is better than possession, whether he’s happy without his journeymen …not too sure but long may it continue. Cant believe I’m going to write this but…well done Mowbray and the boys in the shirts .. dreaming ???

I was with 3 family members yesterday, in the Jack Walker …attending a game I didn’t want to watch. My final words , just before kick off were “Just don’t concede early “…….At 1 down within 2 minutes I expected us to fold ….but , how wrong was I . I thought Wharton was immense, we had a midfield who played the ball forward, Brereton ran hard for 90 minutes and we played with width… simple football with key players, in their correct key positions …Bingo. They displayed guts, heart and I felt it mattered ……with leadership, a half decent manager and reasonable admission prices we could return to the days of having our club back. Thank you boys…In you I have some hope after yesterday…to you Mowbray ….I still despise you as a manager …

Managers , real men admit when they’re wrong…” I got it wrong”…no, all he can say is “ we were in the game at 2-0 “ 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 ” I really fancied us to do something against them tonight “ From minute 1 we hadn’t managed a successful 5 yard pass. This excuse of a man will never admit his failings and his role in taking our club to the depths it is today. His players play in a morgue because of him, they lack focus because of him, they are unfit physically and mentally because of him , we have no pride and no future because of him …. I really despise Venkys ,,,but when you have this man leading/ managing our club …we haven’t got a chance….but as he said “We’ll go again on Saturday “ SHIT

Well, well well..this journey of yours Tony has had lots of stops, many changes of direction, even on a smart motor way you would t manage to follow the advice or instructions……. But, finally the car crash of a football club has happened….I just pray it proves fatal for you

…I agree blonde….our physical fitness levels are poor at best …..but my main concern is that ….we are mentally unfit. We’re afraid , we’re weak …our lads , on the pitch , are younger versions of Mowbray . ….they have no heart for the battle. Would he inspire you to fight ?

Bolton, Wigan and Blackpool continue to be mentioned as examples of “ it’s as bad as it gets” …end of the world stuff….well , I would love to be where any of the 3 are now ..WHY 1 Free of leeching owners who took the local pride and identity out of their club 2 A united fan base ( lower league football ) but with a reason to believe …and what’s more RESPECT the leadership. 3 A manager who speaks the truth, has a progressive outlook on the game , selects players according to position, fitness , appreciates the fan base , who looks at himself when things go wrong ( not kids to be thrown under the bus ) …and doesn’t look the epitome of misery and depression. 4 Increasing gates, regular contact with season ticket holders …phone calls during Covid lockdown, emails , birthday cards to young fans, questionnaires re the direction of the club 5 LIFE…HOPE ( maybe shit football at times eg 4 nil hammering at home ) but a planned JOURNEY …one to be a part of …and one that actually travels in forward gear ….not reverse ….yet we are told to be grateful for what we have …good luck Bolton, Wigan and Blackpool…you deserve your freedom…We do as well …but the road is long 😢

A totally embarrassing performance…unfit, disorganised, lacking in skill..and that’s before I even start on Mowbray …the man’s a pathetic excuse of a manager …where next …even fewer at Ewood, even more morgue like atmosphere..and on it goes …

True….when I was in Delhi I made it my business to find as much as possible about the general opinion of Venkys…people knew of their purchase and some initially followed Rovers ( Premier League at the time) …..no one follows now . Sadly, the thing that came out loud and clear was…..no one could see them selling other than to a fellow Asian …an honour thing 😳 …..not too sure where that leaves us ??

…I agree Paul ….injuries have done for us …but the situation is compounded by crazy decisions…sending Pike on loan, playing Magloire out of position ( if he had to play him at all ) , playing Gallagher in front of Magloire when neither can defend, signing players who are injured ( bloke from Brighton ) signing blokes who look dire in the shirt ..( Poveda) , bigging up Butterworth only to burst his bubble by not playing him again… Injuries improve, get better…with Mowbray no time on the treatment table will make him any better …we’re buggered until he goes… dark days

All football league clubs have MANAGERS or LEADERS….the dictionary defines these as …..” somebody who takes control, administers, directs and ensures things are happening and operating as they should be. ..someone who creates a vision and inspires people to follow that vision and move forward to achieve it…. A LOSER is defined as …someone who is habitually failing INCOMPETENT …is defined as … not having the ability to do something as it should be done We have Tony Mowbray ….and things will remain as they are tonight with this manager/ loser/ incompetent in situ 🧐

….I’m amazed any of them think he’s even remotely capable of sorting anything out ….just Mowbray Out would be of more use
