0.02xg Are you kidding me, that it pathetic, even for a fake stat. Rovers would have to play that half FIFTY times (or for 37.5 hours) before they would be "expected" to score 1 goal! 🤣🤪

Another diabolically standard Tuesday night Championship away performance from Blackburn Rovers. What minute for the typical 2nd half home team winner? I'm going 76th. 😴

Was about to post the same. Everything is either a foul or "advantage" for them, whilst absolutely nothing given for Rovers.

The Government should enforce that prisons show endless repeats of Blackburn Rovers Tuesday night away matches. That deterrence alone would likely end crime forever.

Great thing about Eustace is that he'll be able to bring in his own first team coach and GK coa... oh wait. Will he fuck! The Lowe-Benson cockroach monologue will survive.

"Hello Duncan, On behalf of the Blackburn Rovers supporters, I want to apologise for the shambles of a Football Club we now associate with, and for all the events of the past 10+ days. We - the fans - would have been lucky - and thrilled - to have you. However, this current iteration of Blackburn Rovers does not deserve you. Do not - under any circumstances - consider joining this farce/circus in the summer. This club is Rotten, and until the owners (Venkys) leave, stay well away. If you could do the thousands of supports here a huge favour, PLEASE, tell the world (US Media) your story, embarrass our football club, name and shame those to blame. We could really use your help! Apologies again. We will track your career with interest, and support you from afar. Good luck, and most importantly, whatever you do... NEVER sign for Burnley! Regards" Likely never gets seen. But felt compelled.

Just "won" £49 on a QPR victory, only 1 place to put those winnings... The Bookies are giving away money! 8/1!!! Get in whilst you can. The fans could afford to buy the club in 3 months with them odds!

Ayari, Garrett and/or Fleck cannot be any worse than Moran on his current "form". Tactics ain't working, again.

Gallagher, McGuire and Telalovic as the 3 forwards. Hopefully they had a loan lined up for Leonard. The lad may have potential, but he needs a chance to play 15+ games at a (good) L1 team. Bolton?

In a vacuum (ignoring literally everything else), £600k for Niall Ennis, 6 months after joining on a "free", might be the best bit of business Rovers have done in the past decade+. Shame about, you know, the rest of it.

1996: Shearer - Newcastle (£15m) 2003: Duff - Chelsea (£17m) 2008: Santa Cruz - Man City (£18m) 2011: Jones - Man Utd (£17m) 2021: Armstrong - Southampton (£15m) 2024: Wharton - Crystal Palace (£22m) I could stomach it when it was United, City and Chelsea (even Newcastle) taking our world class players and wonderkids... now it's Southampton and fucking Crystal Palace grabbing our stars?!?! Thanks a fucking lot Venky's! Take your £22m, sell up, and fuck off! You've killed this historic Football Club!

When Gregg tells Swag to "Roll out the Red Carpet" for a signing.

Let's imagine that Rovers do finish this window and these next 8 hours in a positive fashion we don't anticipate - Maguire signs, other (good) money signings too, sensible loans (in and out). That does not excuse the fact that - YET AGAIN - Rovers have had their reputation dragged through the mud due to obvious incompetence from the very top. Laughing stock, unreliable, unprofessional, incompetent from top to bottom, clown owners and senior management. Signing some players will not erase that. How much for 5,000 tennis balls?

To be fair (only thing to be fair about), Orlando is 5hrs behind, so it was only probably 9:30am EST time things got resolved... so stressing about talks resuming all morning was redundant as they would have been asleep/not working until 90 minutes ago.

The thought of "Asking" to loan Wharton back to us - when we currently already own him - and being told "no" and then ACCEPTING IT anyway, makes me so fucking angry. We own the wonderkid, Palace knows that his price will go up in July. How hard is it. A competant management would say that Adam is only for sale (today) if we keep him on loan till the Summer... if you can't accept that. Fuck off. Rovers need to fucking grow a pair and add £5m to the fee - as that is what relegation would cost for losing him. This transfer stinks. "Hello, Swag here... Hi (Palace)... oh I see, £18m, rising to £22m you say?... Well, Adam is only available if you loan him back to us till the summer, John needs him as we already loaned out our captain....... oh, I see... you don't want to do that.... ah okay then, we'll do it your way, always a pleasure, take care.... oh wait, got any 18yr olds that need game time?" THEY play by our rules, it's our fucking player. Imbeciles.

Pretty sure (with zero research) that the "shirt retiring" joke is directly linked to the fact that Birmingham City actually did/have retired Jude Bellingham's.

He was certainly the "golden child" of his year (2018-2020). It was obvious from within, that he was the hope of that (average?) crop. For record, his class was Luke Brennan, Dan Pike, Jalil Saadi, Jordan Eastham, Enzo Boyomo (who is doing well over in Spain), James Connolly, Chanka Zimba, Sam Burns and Sam Durrant. Not exactly the class of '92.

I'll remain seated for that one! 🤣

I'll be the first to say it... shame on any "fan" who boos Sam Gallagher if/when he comes back as an Ipswich Town player on March 29th. (Say what you will, but there will be boos!). The lad gave (gives!) everything for this club - on and off the pitch - 100% effort since day 1, and that is all that counts. Fact is, Gallagher isn't far off having a 1 goal every 4 game ratio. 43 goals in 200 league games. Not bad for a guy utilised 75% of the time on RW. (214 appearances with 46 goals total). Save the boos for the Bradley Orr's, Shane Duffy's and Danny Murphy's. Not only does Sam Gallagher deserve applause, I'll personally be standing when I do it.

Some thoughts on today. Rovers were lucky to draw, got away with THREE 2vs1 or 1vs1 counter attacks. 1-4 was a real possibility. Shout out to the officials who I wouldn't trust to referee an U8's football match. He's the guy that "lost the plot" for the final 20 mins vs Bristol City last month. That's a clear penalty (and by law - maybe a red card). VAR can't come quick enough in this league - 12 hopeless idiots every weekend. Always harsh and rash to judge a player on debut (Rudy Gestede - who was there today - being one!), but Chrisene was pure garbage in all facets. Szmodics was poor. Garrett (after MOTM last week) was ineffective and lasted far too long. The "tactics" after the final subs were BEGGING for a Huddersfield winner. Why? Sorba Thomas (those booing him was nonsense - glad the applause took over) was the best player on the pitch. I remember him drilling every cross low when at us, and I couldn't understand why, showed today he knows how to play. The irony of going to back 5, and then having two of them gain serious injuries. Final shout out to Huddersfield "Football in a library" Town, who came to Ewood and sang that chant (at least) 7 times. Though our home fans mainly only sing about Burnley, so who am I to comment. Can't wait for the next 3. 😳

Arrived in England, comes on as a sub days later at the Millennium Stadium in a cup final, gets a Worthington Cup Winners medal, played about 300 minutes of football, scored two tap ins and left. Legendary form compared to Telalovic or Ennis.

Rovers will continue to play (a maximum) of 1 central striker. Options (as of today) are Ennis, Leonard, Gallagher, Telalovic, Vale, or the "False 9". If you don't think that Sam Gallagher is unquestionably the best option for that position - by a significant margin - then I don't know what to say to you. It's Gallagher, and it isn't even close.

Lewis Travis should have been the first name on this team sheet! Almost every game for the past month, Blackburn Rovers has showcased a mentally weak, soft and pathetic "performance" from it's starting XI... yet our captain (and passion!) is shipped out to 2nd in the league because he actually shows some cojones!

This defense is funamentally broken. Is that JDT, Rene, Benson (set piece coach?) or the players? Andrew Moran with a blinding 45 minute game of hide and seek. Disgusting half... there's playing badly (Hyam, Brittain, Leonard), and then there's hiding, which is worse? Hyam (mk 2?), Leonard and Moran need hooked. If Gallagher and JRC have 45 mins in them, get them in. Give Chrisene a run out too. I'd genuinely be making 4 subs.
