There's no end product with Mowbrays football

Ah, I get your drift, but I think you've overlooked things that are a direct 'end result' of this...

• Disaffected fans
• Disorientated players
• Loss of Cat 1 status
• Season ticket sales going off a cliff
• Owners said to be displeased  'couldn't give a feck'
• Strikers playing as wingers or left-backs
• Most players out of contract or back to their own clubs at the end of another bewildering season
• Tactical nous of a fly round a lightbulb
• Facial expressions more normally associated with 1950s toothless bloke competitions
• Young prospects sent out on loan so that Rovers can pay through the nose to blood other club's puppies
• A slow burn (yes - the club is slowly burning down around our ears)
• 170 fine new properties on the ground where Uncle Jack had a vision of a flagship training facility forever
• Drizzle cake all round...

.... to name but a few 'end products'.

Same here, chippies in Brinscall and Withnell always the trusty chip barm.

Hardly a long way from Blackburn.

Yes, but of course only 10 miles down the M65 they're born with 6 fingers....so naming conventions for food items are a mere bagatelle... (or is that baguettelle)?

In Newcastle they call barm cakes stottys. 🤷‍♂️. Weirdos

Aye, had another embarrasing episode on the Big Market up the Toon, when trying to pay for a stottie butty - gave the shrewish woman what I thought I heard her asking for (80p) and she kept say, "No man, neynty pee" which to my more cultured ear (yeah right!) sounded like '80p".. after a while a local stepped in, dipped her hand in my fistful of change and called me something unrepeatable, again adding the ubiquitous "you aren't from roond here, hinny"

Going back to Sheffield, briefly, I was amazed to hear someone order a cake butty - turned out to be a dab on a barm cake..

How dare you! Born and bred. Haven't lived there for 45 years though, so maybe pastry-product related terminology has evolved in my lengthy absence. I still laugh at the fact that one of the first times I visited my local corner shop  here in Sheffield and bought a couple, the woman behind the counter said "two breadcakes, OK love." I said "Is that what you call them." She replied "Yes, what do you call them?" When I said barmcakes she sighed and said "You'll be from Lancashire, then."

Lol - it's like a whole new universe over there 😉

I remember many years back going on a Saturday day out via Manchester, to Sheff Utd (we got battered and arriving into Sheffield late morning. We went to a chippy near Bramall Lane for lunch and I was mortified to have the pish taken out of me by the lass behind the counter, when I asked for peas with my fish and chips, and a 'Dab'. "Thaas not from round here" she said in a loud brogue, "We don't doooow peaAASS, and whats a Dab when it is at ome? - do you mean a cake?"

I think my pink cheeks were probably visible from outer space! (well I was only 15 and a bit of a weed)

Lovely city, Sheffield. Now I mean - back then it was the arsehole of Northern England 😉

ANYTHING to avoid talking about today's shower of shite....

Douglas one of the worst signings I have seen. Almost seems intentionally bad. Useless.

The unanswered question posed by one poster to another.

If we fell to 16th, would you fire Mowbray? (like we did Bowyer)

We're now 16th.

Well, would you?

Rovers' run has left Lewis Travis 'hurting', says Mowbray | Lancashire Telegraph

Travis' fault now. 

Don't give these bastards oxygen (Mowbray and LT, not ye!)

Clicking through on these fanporn links just makes it more likely they'll shovel more shite at us that way.

I used to work at Brockhall, back in the days when it was a large hospital and residential complex for folks incarcerated because they were different or had a child in 'unusual circumstances' and there was a bloke there (Henry) who worked in the Physiotherapy unit. Henry used to rock up for his shift and instead of doing any work, he just used to go into the hydrotherapy pool area (always kept nice and warm) and curl up with a book amongst the great piles of towels in bags...emerging only most days for tea and cake and to bugger off home. Cushy number...

I wonder if TM has a similar MO?

The Telegraph was a poor excuse for an out of touch rag bag even before it started publishing drivel at this level of inanity. Now it is absolutely nailing its colours to the mast, and unashamedly coming out as a propaganda peashooter to pour salve on the half-wits dumb enough to read its wretched content.

Journalism is dead at a local level. We just have brown-nosing mouthpiece morons posing as honest conduits of the wisdom of the ones upstairs.

No wonder we are in such a shitty position.

Sack the fooking lot of them.

Yes that's one of the many upsides to it i think quite a few are now fed up with his cack handed methods. 

Like with a lot of fans though the nice guy tag goes a long way to over compensate.

What I’m hearing is venkys aren’t too chuffed, would like a change in direction with regards to management but wagshit has told them if Tony goes so do I. They don’t have a contact in England ready to step into that role and they can’t run club from India so they have been stuck trying to sort that out. Don’t believe that will change until the summer unless something suddenly becomes available, waggot can be talked round to potting his mate or things get so dire they are willing to risk it. They are not currently sounding out replacements for that scenario. 
both mowbray and maggot don’t expect to be here start of next season , hence both have become a bit arsey. 
Is the current state of play. Without corona , I believe he would already have gone 

Ok, who are you hearing this from...?

Doesn't want to be a Burden but he isn't walking, he's only a burden when the owners tell him he is.

 

So the idea he will walk can be put to bed.

What a genuinely pathetic piece of 'journalism' there from Sharpe.

'Poor Me' written in large sycophantic letters right through it, from start to finish.

Layers of 'I don't know what I'm doing any more' spelled out in gushing prose by the so called journalist.

'It's not my fault I'm here', 'I'm hostage to the whims of some faceless and disinterested bastards who are really responsible for this' set out in total and abject capitulation by the useless gurning twat.

And the worst insult he could possibly add to this shit-show? Yes, indeed, right there in black and white.. "I can't leave until someone upstairs tells me to go'

WHAT A FOOKING COWARD. WHAT A FOOKING COWARD. WHAT A FOOKING DISGRACE.

GET OUT NOW.

Will the BRFCS rep on the Fans Forum please step forward. We need to have a clear set of messages to take from here, to there for the meeting on Monday 8th March.

If members of the BRFCS Trust can also lobby for clear messages to go the club via that forum, and try to ensure these are consistent with the priorities coming from here, that would help to drive home our points. Get on there and join too (£10) rather than spaffing it on this Saturday's inevitable smoke screen.. https://www.roverstrust.com/

Anyone with any connections at the club who has heard anything?

Surely something is happening after 5 losses on the spin and clearly missing our top six target with a quarter of the season still to go.... There will be some owner reaction surely?

Don't hold your breath... 😉

That's what my money is on unless something drastic happens.

Venkys will put their liking of their manager before the fans and ticket sales.

Waggott will accuse people of disloyalty before telling us all about what a small club we are with hardly any fans.

As we used to chant in the BBurn End of a Saturday... "Wanker, Wanker, Wanker, Wanker.."

(I was about 9 and so thin that if I turned sideways I looked like a trouser press)

He won't sack his mate, unless told to by the owners. 

He won't actually have the power to sack him anyway.

As I've said elsewhere ad nauseam, there isnt anyone on the ground (sic) who has the authority to dislodge this gurning Teesside sheister. Unless he falls on his sword, he ain't going anywhere...

Assuming Mowbray is sacked tomorrow, they've left it too long imo.  

Damage limitation is the best we can look forward to for the rest of this season. What a fucking crock.

It's incredible that Nyambe has already recovered from his season ending hamstring injury. Maybe Mowbray is annoyed that he isn't injured and is now going to do his best to correct that.
