As for a result on Saturday, meh.

Only one result actually counts now, and it isn't what happens on the pitch on Saturday!

Mowbray Out!

Waggot Out!

Pasha Out!

Balaji Out!

Mrs I'm so far up my own arse I think I'm the Queen Desai OUT!

Venky's GET THE FOOK OUT!

We are the Rovers, We are the Rovers, Keeley's gonna get ya! Hooo!

I would love to sing it... did you have a tune in mind when you wrote this? 

We used to sing something with a similar cadence in the Blacburn End in the 70s..

Goodbye Burnley, goodbye

Good bye, Burnley, goodbye

We'll see you again, we don't know when

Goodbye bastards, goodbye..

Usually followed by a raucous shout and general waves of bouncing down the terracing until you got held up by a crush barrier...  Eee, them were the days 🙂

Obviously times have changed somewhat, and I suppose it might look (and sound) a bit odd a near 60 year old singing such songs, but then again I'd gladly join in if we were back with the roles reversed once more over the true claret and blue foes!

Oh goodbye, Mowbray, goodbye

It's time you were off - we know why,

We'll see you again, on the dole with Sven

Goodbye Mowbray, goodbye

Go now Tony, go now

That you've kept your job, gawd knows how

It's time to depart, you gurning old fart,

Go now, Tony, go now

Time's up, wastrels, times up

You've brought us despair but no cup

Your old friend Steve Waggot is nowt but a maggot

Time's up, wastrels, times up.

Get lost, you schemers, get lost

You've had enough fun at our cost

There's no hope of staying, this shite we keep playing

Get lost, you schemers, get lost.

It's time to leave us, it's time

We'll handle the loss of you fine

We want, as supporters the club that we ought to

It's time you left us, its time

Get out, you liars, get out

As one all true supporters will shout

It's OUR Blackburn Rovers, loved all above others

so Get out, you liars, get out.

Goodbye, Tony Mowbray, goodbye.

The taxi is waiting to fly

Away you go singing, after we beat Birmingham

Goodbye, old man Mowbray. Good bye.

AARRNNA bastard!

Clearly hasn't read the script.

Don't you read the news??..

Now, back to Waco's scones..

Do you say 'scon' like john or 'scone' like bone..

Rovers fans forum joins the International Apathy League...

Well, it would if it could be bothered...

Rovers' form on the up as the Gurnmeister seeks to implement arse-covering tactical manouvre number zehn from his almanac. Rotherham's form in the toilet in recent games due to the end of season prospect of having their fate in their own hands.

Nailed on solid home banker, to take the season down to the wire for the Millers. TM so asleep during the game he misses the bus home.

ZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzz

There can only really be one reason for the constant changes to formation and the bizarre rotation of players and that is, he doesn't actually know what he is doing.

If we had a strong and distinctive playing style that actually worked, why wouldn't you do everything you could to ensure we did that week in week out?

Mowbray has proven time and time again that he is just some bloke playing darts in the dark, and because there are more capable managers out there who can plan effectively and get a tune from even less able players, the hit and hope approach has been found sadly lacking over the course of the season.

Now we have a likely situation where we don't even have the backbone of a full side to plan around over the close season, which means next year will have to start with even more uncertainty than this season is ending. Only one way forward from here, I'm afraid - bin the gurning chump and get someone in who actually knows what they are doing.

What would it cost for Rovers to replace the current (however ineffective) management set up? I mean, given the penny pinching and cost-cutting approach taken to the Ewood set up, and the fact that TM has a further year on his contract (requiring compensation if terminated early, I presume), plus the potential compensation due to any club whose manager we might have designs upon, might that be a reason for the lack of movement?

Oh, please rid of us this scumly plague that rides our club into oblivion...

Yeah the “top 6” fans spat their dummies out over their respective owners (some have been great for their clubs) having 2 days of nonsense. Try it for 11 bastard years causing irreparable damage. 

Oh, the damage can be repaired... it will just take the sacking of the Loons from Pune, the re-instatement of a decent and Rovers-passionate Board, the appointment of a manager who actually gets what it means to run a professional football club that means something special in it's community and the recruitment of a set of players who give their all for Arte et Labore, week in, week out.

Summat, and nothing really 😉

Time to go Tony Mowbray, time to go,

For we've seen all your stupid tricks you know

How you treat the fans like morons

And the players you pour scorn on,

time to go, Tony Mowbray, time to go.

On your bike, Tony Mowbray, on your bike,

And take that no mark Waggot, if you like

For two wins in 17 matches

Don't mean shit, this form in patches

On your bike, Tony Mowbray, your bike

Off you trot, Tony Mowbray, off you trot

For you've won the fan base round, oh I think not!

All your baffling team selections

And your gurning misdirections

Off you trot, Tony Mowbray, off you trot..

Say goodbye, Tony Mowbray, say goodbye.

And we wont be sad to see you go - here's why:

For a man who claims such honour

Should have way back been a goner,

Say goodbye,  Tony Mowbray, say goodbye.

Time to jump, Tony Mowbray, time to jump..

We're not bothered if it's shit teams that we thump,

When you think what really matters

Next year's team sheet's all in tatters,

Time to jump, Tony Mowbray, time to jump.

What can we do , as a caring fan base , to bring out a change to this terrible situation ? 

We could establish an organisation with the single business objective to wrest control of the club back from the ignorant and plainly corrupt few, so that it could be returned to the supporters as a gift in perpetuity.

It could be called 'Blackburn Rovers Fans Collective Ltd' with articles of association, a limited company registration, officers and resources.

That would be a start, IMO. There are plenty of people on here who could bring significant business acumen and experience, capital and that vital ingredient - a passion for what happens to our small town club, winners of the Premier League.

I'd chip in on a monthly basis by Direct Debit to help fund the cause..

Importantly, can Rovers still sneak into top 6?

It would require mass administration for all of the clubs above us, with attendant docking of points, plus a large dollop of something in the pre-match brew to make our squad of misplaced misfits get their fingers out of their arses and do some work for a change.

Oh and the gurning one would STILL find a way to keep our heads under water.

So no, ain't happening 😞

This is what it means to be a fan, a die-hard, sticking to the club & loving the shirt no matter what goes on from within, or without. 

I’m an American, so everything from my point of view is different than many of you. I’m no Chicago Cubs fan, but I admire a fan base that can not only stand by their club, but pack the park for 100 years between championships. That is love for the club. 

Rovers have a smaller fan base than the bigger English clubs, but there is a core of fans who are loyal & will be totally “all in” at whatever point new leadership- the right leadership- arrives. 

I chose to support Blackburn Rovers. I had no prior history with English football prior to 2012. Blackburn Rovers are the Green Bay Packers of the EFL- based in a small town, and surrounded by other, bigger clubs vying for a big piece of the pie, but Rovers have a history that makes it an attractive club. The Packers went a long time between NFL championships/Super Bowls, too! (from 1967 to 1996)

 

Man, you've got blades of grass bigger than the Rovers in Texas! I've been up there in Green Bay too, at the GBP stadium (some years back just around the time they won the NFL), and I was struck by the similarities between the places (Green Bay in beautiful northern Wisonsin, and Blackburn on the edge of the Trough of Bowland), especially the locals' attitudes towards their team. So to me it is brilliant that you lend your long distance support to our beloved Rovers, and I completely get what the Mighty Chaffinch is saying about his support for the club too. We are bigger and with a much longer and prouder history than the past 11 years, and we always will be.

One day I hope to buy the club back and when I do, DarrenRover is being offered the Chairmanship of the Board, and we will paint the streets blue and white once again with our brand, our songs and our love for the legend that is Blackburn Rovers!

COYB!

One thing that last night reiterated for me is that I’d rather be at Ewood watching that dross than sat at home. At Ewood I can vent my displeasure with management , urge on the team and in general see the pattern of things much better. I am one of the few who renewed my season ticket and have no doubt that It will renew again next season. I can’t not be there. If Mowbray is still in place come August I will be unhappy to put it mildly but I will still be there...probably watching us fail to win on the first day of the season for eleven years running...but I’ll still be there. Rovers have endured many peaks and troughs throughout our history, gates have fallen well below 5 figures, but in my lifetime we have won three promotions, the Premiership and league cup. Football is cyclical...I might have to wait a long time for the cycle to repeat but the hope remains. I will be there. 

I can see where you are coming from, and if you take the Venksters and the Fraudsters out of the picture, and focus on the heritage and spirit of the club then yes, this is a long game built around a proud tradition.

Damned hard to wash that nasty chicken nugget taste out of the mouth though.. and as for employing a manager who openly admits to driving the getaway car blindfold with the headlamps off in the dark, well there are plenty of reasons why many of us feel the tradition of glory, but can't stomach the 'journey' at the moment.

Venkys Out! Gurning Lying Fools Out! Swindling Lying Falsehood Repeaters Out!

Mowbray doesn't see or hear swearing.

I've put myself on swearing lockdown.

I learnt all mine in the Schoolyard from 5 years of age and blame the Teachers.

 

St. Mary's College has a lot to answer for, as has Mill Hill St Peters! 🙂

Thank you for that wonderful mental image Deecee - I genuinely laughed out loud reading it! 🙂

As for this evening, I can't help worrying we will be served up a whole load more 'hoss shit' as we meander disgracefully towards the exit of the gurning turd.

Derby need the points more than our loon believes we do, and has been amply pointed out elsewhere, TM seems hell bent on giving us the one fingered salute as he fades away, so 1-3 for me.. bahh!

No matter where on the in-out spectrum you sit hopefully there is enough in there to provoke reasoned debate.

Might want to forward to 20mins in if you aren't interested in general performance metrics discussion and want to just see the pure Rovers based stuff.

That is the worst, most defeatist speech that I have ever heard from any manager.

He also admits that his possession approach, without huge cash input, cannot secure promotion and that long-ball is probably a better option.

A decent Journo as part of that 'interview' could rip him a new one.

Arrogant, smug TWAT. FUCK OFF.

He is clearly beginning to give some of us more than just an uncomfortable feeling that something is wrong. Pass the beta-blockers, Mark 😉

Can you imagine the full backs being Hird and Bailey, with the wide midfielders in a 442 being Dolan and Elliott?

I could lob one off at that prospect! 🤣

Or Le Saux and Alan Wright with those two ahead of them.. oh ya!
