v Coventry City (h) - 27/4/24
Wheelton Blue replied to chaddyrovers's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Well said. I've been going on for 49 years, the only time I gave it a swerve was for 3 seasons or so after these clowns took over and potted Big Sam. I'm so fed up with BRFC and football in general; the season can't end soon enough so I can spend my Saturdays fishing instead. If my daughter wouldn't threaten me with ostracism, I'd be seriously considering to ditch the ST again next season. -
Leicester will probably need at least a point from us to assure their promotion spot, so I'm writing that off. Let's say we get a point from Coventry. For us to then go down, Plymouth would 2 points, Wednesday 4 points (due to GD), and Birmingham 4 points. All very possible. I think if we beat Cov, we're safe. But I very much doubt that we will.

I think we'll be leaving Ewood after the game knowing that it's all over bar the shouting. To come back from that disaster class yesterday will take some doing. If we go down a couple early doors, Ewood might explode. 3-0 Cov -

I'm sick and and tired of watching shite and losing, so personally I don't care what style we play just as long as we win a few chuffin' games along the way for once. -
£50 for two people...crikey, I'd love to know where you eat out these days for that @chaddyrovers !!!

Supply and demand. Sky charge what they do simply because the demand is there. The money swishing around in football is purely because of the armchair viewer. The match going fan is an afterthought to the powers that be; we don't register with them.

Calling something 'the best' is subjective at best, and in the case of Sky and the PL, is done purely as a marketing exercise for the gullible. I don't watch any PL football at all, mainly because it's on Sky, who in conjunction with the PL and FA, have ruined football for the average punter. For my non-Rovers football fix, I subscribe to La Liga TV for £8 a month which gives plenty of live matches. The Spanish game is totally different to what we're used to, but can be just as exciting in it's own way IMO. It's El Classico on Sunday night. -
I paid £11.99 for a NowTV day pass to cover the Leeds game, versus the £10 is usually costs to stream a single game on RoversTV. I really begrudge paying Sky a penny, but can't help myself when it's BRFC.

As with any player, we'd only regret Dolan leaving if we don't replace him with better. Therein lies our problem, though. We wouldn't.

The proven solution to increasing ST sales lies both a few miles to the south and to the west. -

That upcoming £6m summer spend is looking like a shoo in..... -

Szmodics and Hyam perhaps as signings from the previous year? -

Correct. These statements are for the financial year ending June 23. The real sh!t show won't be revealed for a another year. -
v Southampton (h) - 6/4/24
Wheelton Blue replied to philipl's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
The worry of letting Gallagher go isn't so much losing him as a player. Rather it's the ability of Broughton to replace him with anything semi-decent. The evidence thus far tells us that we'd just end up with yet another dud. -
Talk of getting rid of both Buckley and Travis is madness. We skirted with disaster only a few weeks ago when Tronstad was out injured.

v Southampton (h) - 6/4/24
Wheelton Blue replied to philipl's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Good point yesterday. Eustace clearly has the team set up well, organised, and we're hard to beat, albeit with not much up top. On Southampton, I thought they were dreadful. Their style of walking football is just plain dull to watch. -
So are thousands of others. Come on, what else are you yourself doing proactively, which gives you carte blanche to throw keyboard insults at those who do still attend?

Premier League 23-24

3 games undefeated now for the Dingles, with an under strength Wolves to visit the Turd on Tuesday, followed by a trip to Everton who themselves are on a Rovers-esque winless run. I dread to think, but they've given themselves a sniff of a chance. -

The rationale behind his approach here... The more Leeds fans that come to Ewood the better. The fewer Rovers fans that go to Elland Road the better. -

It's obvious what game Waggott is playing here; it's called 'smoke and mirrors'. He's fleeced the Leeds fans to maximise revenue from them, whilst knowing all along that Leeds would charge us full whack in return. He'll have built this 'subsidy' into his overall calculation, as a means to appear the good guy. Don't be fooled. -

The Dingles play Forest on the last day. Things could be about to get very interesting... -
John Eustace - our head coach
Wheelton Blue replied to chaddyrovers's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
The damage was done months ago. Tomasson, Eustace, whoever.....it really doesn't matter who's in the seat. These players are so poor that I genuinely think whoever our manager is, no-one could get a tune out of them. I'm resigned to the inevitable now. -
v Plymouth Argyle (h) - 09/03/2024
Wheelton Blue replied to Upside Down's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
I suspect, or hope, that the public message is rather different to the private one. I personally don't care if he comes across as dull - or wears a perma-grin for that matter - as long as he starts winning games. -
Eustace Or Useless?
Wheelton Blue replied to Upside Down's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
If he keeps us up, I don't care how dull he may be.
