I posted somewhere else on this, but from where I was sat at Accrington, it looked Carter had pulled his hamstring to me.

We were on the 'Accy' side of the centre circle. I noticed Carter pull up, then a few moments later he was feeling the back of his thigh so I thought 'hamstring' straight away. My daughter said the same. Hopefully just a twinge though. We also noticed the horses near the away entrance. Perhaps there for traffic control, I dunno, but their presence looked a bit odd considering the low key occasion.

'We've got a little fat guy who'll turn him inside out'. Classic Cloughie quote in reference to Robertson.

Down the side, centre circle.

I was in line behind him. It looked to me that he was feeling his hamstring.

Montgomery got up the pitch well, but his final ball was poor I thought.

Similarly John Robertson at Forest.

The one thing which will cause the fanbase to vent is results on the pitch. We were close to that situation last season, until Ismael got a few results towards the end to divert attentions. Looking at the state of the squad, it could go south fairly quickly into the new season.

The website is naff still, took me a while to find them just now. Click 'Single tickets' then 'Men's away matches'

Should be announced today then, in that case.

Exactly. All this nonsense about interviews and cameras in dressing rooms, it's the thin end of the wedge, IMO.

As I said, "simply for 'benefit' of the armchair dwelling , non-match going ,TV viewing 'fan'." As is every supposed 'improvement' they seem to make. We are not even an afterthought.

Yeah, so simply for 'benefit' of the armchair dwelling , non-match going ,TV viewing 'fan'. Whether that be Sky, BeIn or whoever and whereever on they planet they reside.. All the while, the oft ignored, true match going supporter, gets ripped off ever more.

Cameras in the dressing room? That'll go down well when we've just lost 2-0 at home on a Tuesday night in January. Designed purely for the supposed benefit of the Sky fraternity. Gimmickry nonsense.

Yeah sorry, it was meant as a dig at the club, in the I hope that they did chuffin' well go and see him live!

Surely they watched several games of him live and in the flesh though, before splurging the majority of our budget.....🤔

Ultimately, we should simply judge them on how well they run the club both on and off the pitch. And we all know the answer to that.

These aquaintances of yours who you say 'support' both Rovers and Stanley. What would they do if say Rovers played Stanley in a cup tie? 'Support' both teams? Wear half-and-half scarves? Hope for a draw?

Aye OK 🤣🤣🤣

And the 'spotting' of the likes of Nzonzi and Samba 20 or so years ago, would most likely have been done the old school way. ie watching the players in person, rather than sat behind a desk.

'Support' more than one team? In my world, that is inconceivable.

I'll repeat what YOU said...nothing to do with the owners. apart from the odd game we will never fill Ewood again At face value, that comes across as a pretty small minded comment to make. I wonder when Jack designed the stadium whether he thought we'd never fill 30k home fans.

Nonsense. That's exactly the sort of small minded mentality that those who purportedly run our club have.

Cue the wails of '...but that's the modern game...' from those amongst us who also see no issue with all manner of random kick off times, because they can get to every home game no matter what.

The only thing that really matters is names on trophies. Everything else is ifs, buts, and maybes.
