There's nobody left in the building who knows what a fan looks like, let alone the purpose of a season ticket or that black art known as marketing. Oh, and of course the Swindle brothers couldn't give a flying fook about fans, as it is much easier for them to rob the place blind if there aren't 12000 souls looking deep into their foul hearts every other weekend...

I think it is entirely possible that perceptions in the fan base about our season overall may be coloured by 'Primacy and Recency' effects. That is to say, the strong start to the season had many of the nay sayers (including me) all positive and really looking forward to pushing on towards some potential rewards. Now, if we finish with the flourish that (on paper) the squad is capable of delivering, especially given the (poor) quality of the upcoming opponents, then it will feel to some that we have somehow rediscovered the formula for success, and that all we need do is rock up next campaign and walk the league.. Sounds far-fetched, I know, but I wouldn't put it past the evil gurning genius to stitch us up like that... More likely, based on the form book and the complete lack of interest displayed by most of the playing and management staff. we will limp on and flirt with a trajectory heading in the opposite way to that implied above. Either way, gawd help us next season, if the Punatics are still in charge of the Asylum..

Aye, and it said Professional Footballer on Danny Murphy's contract when he basically stole a living from the Rovers too..

And everyone who repeatedly and systematically seeks to strip their employers assets for personal gain is a lying, conniving, thieving wretch. Allowing local journalism to condone the illegitimacy of said wretches actions is an unacceptable and highly questionable folly. A journalist will work hard to create a story. A reporter will do as little as possible to file a story. Chalk, cheese, hard cake, rumble tummy...fart. I do like a good story to get me teeth into..particularly one without a bitter end.

No, just someone who works in the print media. Just because someone works at a University, it doesn't make them an academic, a professor, or a teacher.

He is a pseudo millennial wannabe with a self-proclaimed history of mental health issues (according to his WordPress rantings..) Probably a north west expat, now living 'the dream' in London, and wondering why life is so shit in that crowded, git-infested and intolerant excuse for a capital, compared to plying his trade in the relatively stress-free and clean air environs of one of the UK's most affordable rubbish places to live 😉 (like I do)..

It is refreshing to watch a game of football involving Rovers where you feel like there is some interest in winning... These lads all look very good technically, and hungry, temperamental. Bodes well for the future, ceteris paribus 😉

I don't subscribe to the notion that the Brockhall fiasco is off the table just because some nomark journalist has tweeted a picture (.jpg) that it is.. Happy enough if it is the case though, and will wave goodbye to the end of Tony Mowbray and his gurning indifference to my club with the rest of ye. COYB! TIME FOR A CHANGE!

Yes, you can imagine the job description... Manager Required (Football Operations and Strategy) Following the recent progression the club into the English fourth tier, Blackburn Rovers PLC seeks the services of an ambitious, capable and experienced professional manager to take charge of first team matters. The ideal candidate will be able to demonstrate a clear track record of success, including leading teams with a similar historical and professional pedigree through systematic and transformational change, as we seek to climb the football pyramid back to our rightful place at the highest levels in sport in this country. We anticipate the successful candidate will bring not only a wide and well established network of relationships and connections within the game, but also the commercial acumen to build a vibrant and purposeful squad of senior professionals capable of competing effectively at the highest levels. Recognised and accredited professional qualifications are a must, as is the ability to assemble a strong and dedicated team of support staff for front of house and back-room roles. Candidates whose modus operandi includes facial contortionism, directing game play from prone positions, effecting the appearance of sleep during match time, use of supercilious remarks to contain local press coverage, public chiding of staff as a 'motivating approach', dogmatic insistence on the use of assets in clearly inappropriate roles during match play, constant berating and undermining of long term supporters as being somehow unrelated to long term decision making and planning, collaboration with unspecified but potentially unscrupulous others to asset strip this proud club, or any other such non-football-positive behaviours NEED NOT APPLY. Applications to: The Tea Lady (being the senior 'management' representative left in the actual building following the recent departure of the (haha) Chief Executive). Blackburn Rovers Football Club PLC. Nuttall Street, Blackburn BB2 4JF Like that is going to happen...

There are perfectly good electronic display systems on the Fox & Hounds site and adjacent to the Darwen End on Bolton Road that could be utilised, if we were to put a little effort into crowdfunding a statement or two. There are also railings a plenty in the approaches to the stadium to which a variety of custom made messages could easily be appended and photographed (for wider publicity means). Of course I'm not saying we should do such a thing - I mean, shaming the club on it's own doorstep? Who would dare to think of adopting that kind of guerrilla tactics anyway...? Audacious upstarts? A lunatic fringe? Actual supporters with the best long term interests of the club at heart.....?!!

Please nip out to the bog, Gumboots - you know it will be the difference that makes THE difference 😉

The point is, there ISNT anyone at the club in a position to sack him - we literally have no oversight or governance in place at Ewood. He could take a shit on the centre circle on telly this weekend and there would be no comeuppance at a local level, as we no longer have a decision making structure in place at our club, just cronies and yes-men in the shadows. It makes my blood boil - fooking Pune morons pouring their scorn on OUR HERITAGE.

Fixed it for you..

It is a very good point - this clueless buffoon (the gurning one, not you Frosty) seems insulated from reality by a single 'flash in the pan' success from donkeys years back. The media don't seem aware of the truly appalling form that his so called tactical nous has churned out week after sodding week since mid November. The season has effectively ended for Rovers. The gunning one has clearly missed his stated target for this campaign. The players are either baffled by his approach or, more likely, just coasting to the end of the season with no effort (& let's face it, what IS there to play for?). The ONLY question left unresolved imo is Why isn't the fat lady singing for this managerial misfit? Please just go and gurn somewhere else Mr Mowbray. You don't need the money, you know your continued presence here is actually damaging the club, so why are you hanging around like a bad smell? Off you go now, like an honourable chap, and all that..

Just woke (sic) up have you? The club has effectively been sleepwalking into oblivion since the loons took it on. There is no one at the helm, and because of the lack of oversight, the hired help have their fingers in the till..

Read that as He has 3ft strikers... I known Anna is a shorthouse, and Gally jumps like he is nailed to the floor, but I think both are a bit taller than that... Sigh.. did someone say Rovers were playing today? I think the manager forgot to tell the players..

I just don't give a shit what the result is, as it just doesn't matter to the matters in hand. Gurning soundbite deluded morons and their slimy sidekicks OUT!!!

Yes, it is a bit like watching a slow motion car crash, where you know from the start that it ends badly for the spectators, but that all of the occupants of the car itself walk away unscathed and laughing as if nothing bad actually happened. Maddening and completely unfair on the Rovers fan base. Get thee away from me, Satan! Gurning Goon 😞

I've said this for a while now - if the gurning one got any more disinterested he may invert himself and disappear up his own arsehole.

I'd send it to Mihir Bose too, him being a prominent Indian heritage journalist who has a passion for sport.

How much does it cost to advertise on that LED multimedia board outside the Darwen End on Bolton Road, I wonder? Might be worthwhile crowdfunding some messages of Home (& Away) Truths to be broadcast to the great and the good driving past there every day.. There's also the big screen thing on the Fox and Hounds site at the bottom of Livesey Branch Rd. Failing that, there are some very appealing looking railings to which slogans and banners could easily be affixed, again around the Darwen End on Bolton Road. Take the fight to the shite is what I say. Make our feelings known close to home and perhaps the gurning one and his shifty organ grinder would start to take notice..

Bit strong implying Dackers is an utter reckless fukwit - mind you, there is a bit of a mentality around the so called 'professional footballer' these days...as there always was, of course

Fooking police state. Next thing you know, your sodding Alexa will be dobbing you in for saying something unpatriotic about the fat boy with a bad prvileged persons attitude prime minister.

You crack me up m8 🙂

Go on then.. what is he thinking?
