Been Donkeys years since I shopped in the Club store...says it all really.

Rovers in Blue and White 'eighths'? Like Bristol Rovers?.....absolute rubbish!

FWIW - looking back to that season brings into sharp focus the higher quality of players in that squad. Mimms, Hendry, Cowans, Speedie & Newell had joined from 1st division clubs; Wright was an u21 international; Moran a full international...that side oozed quality.

Plus the manager was pretty good looking back at his record. ?

Let's put it this way...they would have played this current lot of soft lads wearing our shirt off the Park.

More interested in making embarrassing tv shows with their Chav Wags now.

Lose to that lot and this board ain't going to be a nice place....

Of course we know!....results,league position and form are NOT good enough.To claim otherwise is folly.

It's nowhere near good enough and we all damn well know it.There seems a be general malaise around the Club and apathy is setting in amongst the support.

I said give him until Xmas and matters aren't looking good.

Does anyone genuinely think Mowbray has what it takes to make the PO's and/or get promotion?

We have no form...we have no consistency.

No chance of getting out of this league anytime soon.

One hell of a charm offensive in the Telewag these last few days!

I don't reckon TM is picking the team based on who Olivia Attwood hangs around with tbh,

Are you 100% sure about that?

Your entitled to your opinion David Dunn.

But please don't preach to long standing supporters of this Club who have been genuinely dismayed and hurt at the collapse of this great old institution under THEIR tenure.The last ten years have been horrible and embarrassing,the animosity runs deep.

Concentrate on Barrow and gorging into that bucket of Venky Express fella..Mmmmm

 It's like getting knocked over by a driver who is driving recklessly and being grateful to them because they are paying for the electricity on the life support machine to keep you alive.

Love that..so true.

How long does this continue for,another decade of stagnation?.

I just can't wait.

Rovers 2  Man Utd 0  Ewood Park 1928

Stuart,let me make this clear it was Venkys and the 'chancers' who were responsible for a fractured supporter base NOT the protesters.

Those who stood up and had the balls to protest are indeed the reason this Club is still here.

Fake/citezenship/ passports - Formica, a recipe in Italy.

Hidden work permits in drawers at Ewood - Shaw/Agnew - leaving rovers with a decimated medical team - whilst they played King of the castle.

Kean's contract written by himself, with ludicrous bonus and a hefty personal loan off rovers for himself

Kentaro massive business associate in Venkys pharmaceutical business (this has always bugged me, that relationship of the people who were in Kentaro continues) Yet its still laid out they were naive. Anderson a snake and well out of the picture, but he was never the pied piper, he was just allowed to be one of many lunatics in the asylum. It goes much deeper than him and not on these shores.

Why did they get away with it and there will be no retribution? Simple Kentaro were one of the FA's biggest Financial partner/sponsor, with their support massive with our own national team. 95% of gagging orders were issued by our own FA as they knew this was much bigger than Blackburn rovers, and would have had  lasting damaging implications to the administration who govern our english game.

Regardless of the current climate, £100 million plus later spent, the day they darkened our door, was the day the heart was ripped out of the club. Whatever the future holds, the club will never have that beating heart of being the pillar of our community as long as they own this club. Many say we should forgive, be grateful, we would be no more without them etc.  I'D RATHER PUT PINS IN MY EYES

To be honest I wish this thread had never materialised...it brings back such angst and pain it's untrue.The supporter base ended up fractured and decimated like never before as a consequence.

At the time the feeling was one of ever increasing helplessness and isolation as the Club was dragged backwards through the mud and humiliated.Our intelligence being insulted as:

•Singh telling the attending fans at the King George's Hall seminar to 'shut up and listen' to his clueless diatribe.

•Keane openly goading the travelling supporters at Wigan.

•Protesting fans having the piss taken out of them by sections of the football media.

•Listening to our new owners admit to being 'confused'

Our famous old club reduced to an absolute Circus that I will never forget nor forgive.

It was a Vipers nest of self interest and pure greed.We had owners who were totally clueless and wholly reliant on others.Certain individuals took full advantage of the situation and the Foxes got right into the Chicken coop so to speak.They knew what they were doing and were cold and calculating..reading Glenn Mullans blog on the Singh/Shaw/Keane tenure is quite frankly mindblowing.Chancers,nothing more,nothing less.

How the feck was the Club allowed to decend into such a state of affairs after years of careful stewardship?...rest assured, I fear we are not out of the Woods yet.

"The whole situation was a recipe for disaster, as media coverage of the situation turned ugly and often crossed over into the boundaries of racism"

Bullshit insinuation!

The fans anger was at the total mismanagement of the Club and to suggest otherwise is unfounded shyte stirring.

Like him,looks confident and commands his area well.

I think the next question regarding Armstrong should be how much can we resist a bid for him come January?...

That's more like it Rovers..a very welcome win!

Turn this possession into goals Rovers or it counts for sweet FA!

Surely we can beat this mob...can't we?

Just can't put Rovers on an Accy atm..so unpredictable it's untue...roll that Dice??????

We are regressing at warp speed and quite frankly,like many others no doubt,I am losing interest.

This Manager is as dull as Dish Water and does not enthuse anyone...Groundhog day Tony.
