Tony had a dream, To win a football game...

Free kick rolled into the path of Vaulks whose low shot from the edge of the box makes it beyond Kaminski, despite him getting a hand to it - LT There's a shock.

Was it from a set-piece?

Cardiff in the running for best pitch of the season. No excuses on this surface. Rovers finishing up their warm-up - LT It should suit our Total Football style.

John Buckley is currently out doing some work with the fitness department - LT

Blackburn Rovers | Lancashire Telegraph Travis looks excited to be starting on the picture accompanying today's live blog. Visibly excited😉

"Our fans expect us to win some matches between now and the end of the season" Not with you in charge we don't!

He literally calls himself 'Rovers Reporter' at the top of his articles. Anyway, I found this on t'internet Journalist vs. Reporter: Differences In exploring journalists vs. reporters, it’s critical to remember they are both parts of the news industry. The difference between the two seems to lie in the amount of research that the individual does as part of his or her job. Reporters who craft stories supported by their own research may be considered journalists. However, not every reporter is a journalist. For example, a local television news reporter may take information that is gathered by a research staff – including material that was written by other journalists – and relay that information to their audience. Journalist vs. Reporter | Maryville Online Which one is Sharpe??? @jim mk2

That's John Claret under his latest nom de plume.

I wasn't saying otherwise. Rovers can trigger the contracts, the players can say they still want to leave. It just means paying a less than committed player for another 12 months. The only hope is they sign new deals.

I used to bet against us because if we lost I won money. It eased the pain. Now of we win it just means another stay of execution for the Winless One. I am bereft of hope.

Of which reporting is one aspect. If that's all you do you're a reporter who reports. No analysis, no investigation, just reporting of events. It's hardly Woodward and Bernstein.

I've made that same point many times. He will be constrained, you only have to look at the flack he took when he criticised one of the players (Gally?) and he got hammered by the likes of DG and some of the other players. That said, he's still a waste of space when you compare him to the likes of the Cov journo's. At least they had an opinion and went out of their way to dig out info.

I refer you back to my previous comment.

Journalism requires analysis. Reporting doesn't. Hence, why Sharpe is primarily a reporter. He reports. He very rarely analyses. He has merely reported on the Brockhall saga, he hasn't at any point analysed the potential ramifications of it, or indeed if it was justified and to the detriment or otherwise of Rovers. So many angles there, from finances, to Cat 1, to player development. What did we get instead? A timeline of events. Embarrassing. Also, after 1 win in 14 I would have expected a sports editorial of sorts on Mowbray and if he was the right man to lead the club forward. In fairness Sharpe did skirt around the edges a week or so ago but in the end it was a bit half-hearted. So yeah, a reporter, not a journalist.

Nope, a journalist is a reporter, but a reporter isn't always a journalist.

It's striking the difference between the work of the journo's writing about the Coventry Training Ground fiasco and the work of Sharpe. Sharpe is just a reporter, he's not really a journalist.

Only just watched the Everton game. I thought we were good, passed the ball well all over the pitch and have some decent players. As others have said, they play 4-3-3 far better than the 1st XI. It probably helps having a decent winger or two. I like the look of Durrant and I thought Butterworth was excellent considering he's been out for practically 2 seasons. The only thing that will keep that lad from playing Championship football is injuries. The striker Barnes looks sharp, great finish for the disallowed goal. Nolan looks tidy, as does Garrett. Overall some really good young players. Josh Bowler was good for them. I'd never heard of him but he's 22 and cost £5m from QPR a few years ago. He's just the kind of player we lack in the 1st team.

Mowbray clarifies situation with Rovers' out of contract players | Lancashire Telegraph “My focus is to win some matches over the next four weeks and see what the summer brings.” You fucking the fuck off hopefully.

Mowbray clarifies situation with Rovers' out of contract players | Lancashire Telegraph JRC does have an extra year. Sounds like the club will trigger the majority of extensions.

He can break the record live on SKY against Sheff Weds. It would be fitting if it was brought to his attention in the post-match interview. He's on a journey into the record books. Record-breaking based manager.

Do you have any more info that you can share on why it's not going ahead? it's it a specific planning issue or an intervention by the Owners etc? Or is it simply that local opposition will make it unworkable?

I'm not sure he even believes it. Probably just wants a job at Rovers.

Anyone think the following happened;- 1) Waggott approached Venky's and said he could make them some easy money selling Brockhall and that it would be for the benefit of the team? 2) Venky's bought it and said 'yes' 3) Waggott tried to crack on in private but was rumbled. 4) Venky's are shocked by uproar and send Pasha over to knock it on the head.
