Mashed Potatoes

Thanks. Must be a very difficult conversation for those at the club who have to tell a young man of 18 that unfortunately he's not going to make it. Even harder for him if he's the only one of his year who isn't going to go on.

I have never seen the player in question so am not in a position to express an opinion on this decision, if it has been correctly reported. But to be fair to those at the club who have to decide who goes on from youth level to the pro ranks, I can't offhand think of a single mistake in the last 10 years in failing to hold on to someone who proved to be any good.

Great spot by Mowbray to bring him in on loan

See above - but even so money etc does not guarantee happiness

I feel sorry for Lambert who I think has "gone" as a manager. As noted before on this thread the decision to give him that new contract looks like madness - unless there is some kind of break clause.

Brilliant !

They've also got a lot of players injured. Not the manager's fault.

Absolutely !

The poster I was asking works negative remarks about our manager on to this board regardless of the relevance. He even managed it on a discussion of the attendances at Newcastle United a couple of days ago.

QPR are certainly motivated.

What are your views on a manager whose team lose like that to 10 men ?

The great Alex Neil, eh ?

The Venkys share price is down about 30% over the last month .

Chris Brown surely.

They are also great supporters - yes.

That was a protest against the owner.

Success is relative. I think Darlington fans do deserve some success - but they are not going to win the FA Cup.

Rovers fans had a title win in 1995 and league cup in 2001. Newcastle fans have had nothing but are still there. I've had a quick look at past attendances at Ewood Park. Opening home game in 1984-85 v Carlisle had an attendance of 5,121. The 12,000 were nowhere to be seen.

Crowds in the 80s fell everywhere down to hooliganism. Even clubs like Spurs and Arsenal had crowds like that.

They are loyal, mate.

I disagree. I don't think there is any club that can match the loyalty of their supporters despite years and years of relative disappoitment.

They haven't won anything since 1969. Yet still get 50,000 in the ground. To be fair, I think their fans do deserve success.

Confirmed what ? Khod was doing his job.

Two problems - nothing to back it up - and totally false about me. Are you saying people can post lies about other posters on the grounds that they can rebut ? Surely lies should not be tolerated full stop.

Do you think it is ok to name other posters and say they are posting on behalf of the club - with nothing to back it up.
