To put us out of the picture, yes, but 'Boro could still pip them on goal difference if Sheff Utd lose to Fulham and 'Boro win both their remaining games, one of which by two or three goals.

Yes ..sorry i was just on about us .

Boro could also quit easily  still pip them even if Sheff Utd draw with Fulham with two half decent wins.

This wasn’t the game I fancied sheff utd to drop points in… changes nothing for us.

Sheff Utd win tonight and they only need a point from their last game

As The Human League asked .." Dont ..dont you want me ..? "..Waggott obviously said.. " no we f*cking dont .. "

Liam Gallagher at KGH last night ..

Actually looks like the BBE N0 5 when we re 2-0 down after 15 minutes !

EFL clubs will be asked whether they want to scrap 3pm blackout rule | Daily Mail Online

Better hope we sell some quickly ..because if this comes in ..

You are right re the debt but on players not so much as 10 are out of contract, at least 5 will be sold, leaving a small core on manageable wages.

I’m not suggesting success is guaranteed just it is more than possible but depends on the decisions the owners take re funds and management. The debt - which for clarity we didn’t ‘run up’ but was foisted on us as a leveraged buyout - doesn’t need to be a blocker, though I suspect the owners may well cut and run, sell what they can and bank the cash. But IF they can get Dyche to stay and give him some funds then we have a reasonable chance. 
 

in simple terms I hope for the best but expect the worst.

Whatever happens ,if you come down you ll be in a better position than us ! Decent players will still be attracted to Burnley because of the PL tag ,and the possibility of an instant return to the PL. just need to go all out on a quick return!

Every season spent in the Championship and that attraction falls away  ,players, other fans (even your own fans!) see you as just a run of the mill Championship club going nowhere once that PL tag has disappeared. No longer an attraction..

Norwich bottom of the PL..light years ahead of us ,thats one promotion spot gone already next season.

No PL game has been chosen for that night, so every chance.

The price of ‘success’, ay…

Just baby faced drugged up shits, taking cocaine and not being able to handle their beer! Ruining the reputation of our away supporters which has a high standing in football circles!

Welcome to the 21st Century . 

Late 70s and 80s pissed up "youths" im sure were seen as  intimidating  as they they jumped out of their tranny vans...

Football violence now is nothing like it was back then...so lets not make out like  its something new...away followings have always had that edge.

And im 54 btw.

The attempted promotional activity is gonna actually do more harm than good anyway. Any stay aways who've been tempted back recently will be wondering why they bothered. You'd get more entertainment at Accy Stanley, I actually know a few people going down there these days instead, which I absolutely don't agree with and would never do personally, but each to their own.

Called into Stanley last Saturday to watch Rovers v Fulham in their brand new function room Coleys Bar. Fantastic function rooms and set up, reasonably priced drinks and packed out for both the Rovers and the teatime KO game Liverpool. definitely worth calling in to watch a live TV game...

As for going watching Stanley ..er no thanks!..but same as you Ossy i know a few who have given up on Rovers and settled for Stanley.

I can forgive the taker if he smashes it and it hit’s the woodwork or the keeper but yesterdays kick was really poor. What was worse was expecting Dack to take it in the first place.

I want to know who was on penalty duties before Dacks appearance . Surely someone was nominated and whoever it was should have been trusted to take it .

An away club looking after opposition season ticket holders, that's a new one.

Very refreshing although a lot of travelling hardcores probably aren't ST holders so a tad unfair with the pricing maybe.

But aren't Reading doing what people want Rovers to try and do Tom ..?..attract and target fans that wouldn't go ?

I'm hoping this is just a little bit of mind games in action. He arrived back in England on Thurs morning from what I understand. Game is sat evening. Get him straight in that team. There is no one else anyway cos you didn't sign a striker on Monday!

Correct ...

 BBD  returned  very late on a Friday for our game against Coventry earlier in the season  and was completely ruled out of the game only to appear as a substitute to everyones surprise ?

Take what TM says with a pinch of salt ..

2 horrendous decisions in the Huddersfield V Stoke game. It seems inevitable that VAR needs to come in.

You introduce VAR into the Championship with the standard of referees/assistants  that it has now and games wouldn't finish  until midnight . Be a VAR every five minutes..

Standard of referees/assistants has to improve first ..then VAR.

Strange that the player lets the opposition manager know that he's not available the night before the game.  Best keeping 'em guessing surely?

Spot on Paul ..

Seems to be common consensus that he isn't travelling down tomorrow. If his agent is playing silly buggers, my view would be tough, he'll soon get his head down on Tuesday morning once the window has shut.

What would the other two think if there's anything in it and we let Rothwell get away with it? They'd be entitled down tools and wonder why we hadn't let them do as they want as well.

If Rovers block a move after hes gone out of his way way to cry off with a 'bad back' which im sure Rovers medical staff probably already know if he s crying wolf then i dont see Rothwell being the first name on the team sheet when the window closes and he's still here. 

Suddenly he's in limbo ..

Expect a future statement and publicity front saying how dedicated he is to Rovers final season  push ..

Maybe not a crime but if taken in the last couple of hours ..it says ..hey everybody ..i aint playing tomorrow ...on the presumption the team are already in Bedfordshire.

Undermining us ..?
