Would like to see us move for Abu Kamara, he's had a solid return for Pompey this season and receives loads of praise. Right-winger, left footed, will go back to Norwich with only a year left on his contract there. Might cost a few million, so if we're allowed to spend (unlikely) I hope we move in for him - could turn out to be the next Morgan Whittaker... only 20 years old too, so ticks that box!

I've always sensed a bitter vibe from Hyam, more so this season. Can tell that he didn't really want to come here, but Coventry gave him no choice - if they wanted him back I bet he wouldn't even hesitate. He has no passion whatsoever for Blackburn Rovers, his heart isn't in it - yet he was made Captain. Rip the armband clean off him, play Carter for the rest of the season and tell his agent to find him a new Club.

v Leeds United (a) - 13/04/2024
TheRevAshton replied to Upside Down's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
For the first time in a very long time, I might not even bother watching the game... it's almost guaranteed to ruin my weekend. After last night's shit show, i've never been so sure of anything in my life, we'll lose this by at least 2. -
2024/25 Season Tickets
TheRevAshton replied to TheRevAshton's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
It's a start! Assume we're still likely to be looking at ~400 for an Adult ST. Hopefully the Family discounts are taken up and are decent, I have 2 Adult and 2 Kid ST's to buy when they drop! -
I recall that season ticket prices were discussed during the secret meeting with Swag and a few of the senior players recently... do we think there's any chance that he's taken the feedback on board, and will offer prices more reasonable for the area? What do you expect the prices to be this year? Of course, the league we are in will be a big factor. If we stay up, i'd hope for the maximum adult ticket price to be £350 - in the JW Upper. £299 in the Riverside, and somewhere in the middle for the JW Lower and BBE. Though that's probably dreamland stuff with Waggott running the show...

Dilan Markanday.. potential talent or ?
TheRevAshton replied to NeilInBristol's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
I've always seen the potential in Markanday, and he's starting to show us what he can do. He seems much more comfortable at this level now, and lately has started to look visibly stronger, faster and more skilful. Hope Gregg offers him an extra 3 years on similar terms at the earliest convenience, can see him having a blinder next season. -
Final table calculator
TheRevAshton replied to Bohinen1983's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Recent displays have restored some faith for me, I think we'll manage 2 wins and a draw from our last 5 and survive fairly comfortably with 53 points. Bristol City 0-1 Rovers Leeds 2-0 Rovers Rovers 2-0 Sheff Weds Rovers 1-1 Coventry Leicester 1 - 0 Rovers -
Would like to see us go for 4 at the back again; There's a very good case for starting Dolan over Gilsenan, it's likely the more sensible option... but I honestly think that it won't take Gilsenan long to make that LW position his own. He's young and hungry, give him a chance I say! I avoid posting my predictions, as historically they always tend to go the opposite way - but I must say that I have a good feeling about this one, for some unknown reason. Not sure if we'll win, but I don't think we're gonna lose. COYB!

Rovers Rumours & Speculation
TheRevAshton replied to Herbie6590's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
So they’ve had recent approaches from potential buyers, but will only consider selling us if we get promoted to the PL… problem is, they as our owners won’t do anything to help us achieve that. Sickening stuff, we’re gonna be stuck with these clowns forever at this rate 👎 -
Venky’s, HMRC…The Plot Thickens ?
TheRevAshton replied to tomphil's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
We're absolutely screwed. We've sold our star boy just to keep the lights on, no chance of reinvestment... all due to being owned by dodgy, incompetent morons who couldn't give 2 shits about our Club. Ewood will be beyond toxic in light of this, that's if anyone even shows up... this will send a massive ripple through the Club and likely affect the players, relegation seems almost guaranteed. -

TheRevAshton replied to tomphil's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Nope! Us fans are the ones who genuinely love the Club, worry about it, and care about it's future. We deserve timely updates, particularly given the current state of affairs... instead, we're constantly left in the dark, by morons who couldn't give 2 shits. So much for "togetherness"... -

Venky’s, HMRC…The Plot Thickens ?
TheRevAshton replied to tomphil's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Good spot. Likelihood is that the funds have been approved as expected, and 20/08/24 is the date in which they'll have to request to send the next batch... conveniently, slap bang in the middle of the transfer window. If we somehow manage to stay up this season, the owners won't do shit to assure that we're safe next season. Expect the usual circus in the summer... - Most/all of the Wharton and Raya money will go towards bills. - Tiny transfer pot if lucky, but can't be spent until after 20/08/24, due to "financial uncertainty". - Free's and majorly cheap loans mainly. - Relegation well on the cards, with 2 heavy dickings guaranteed from the dingles. -

Anyone have any idea on the timing of it all? As in, will we know by dinner time, evening, tomorrow etc. -
v Middlesbrough (a) - 16/3/24
TheRevAshton replied to chaddyrovers's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
A few games ago, I stated how I couldn't see where the next win comes from... but at this stage, looking at our fixtures, I can't even see where the next draw comes from. We are comfortably the worst side in the league under Eustace, embarrassing in pretty much every aspect, with Sammie being the only shining light. 'Boro have struggled a bit themselves this season, despite being capable of a cracking result here and there. There's a small chance that we could snatch a draw... however, I honestly believe that even if they don't turn up and play terribly, they'll still have enough to beat us. 3-0 'Boro. Venkys Out. Suhail Out. Waggott Out. -

v Plymouth Argyle (h) - 09/03/2024
TheRevAshton replied to Upside Down's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
This will just be a rinse and repeat of that dross from last night; - 5 at the back against a team around us. - no will to win. - no urgency to go forward. - just make sure we don't lose. 0-0 draw. Apart from Sammie and Scotty, the rest of these players just don't give a shit. You have a bunch of them who aren't good enough and just enjoying the ride, then another bunch who are good enough but genuinely don't care, as they'll happily be sold on the cheap and shipped off as soon as we go down. They need to fight for the badge while they wear it. They may be able to fuck off when shit hits the fan, but us loyal supporters will always be here... they need to show us and our Club some respect, and be willing to die for the 3 points. -
v Millwall (h) - 5/3/24
TheRevAshton replied to chaddyrovers's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Millwall have had a proper new Manager bounce with Neil Harris, winning their first 2 games with him in charge, and against good sides; Southampton (A), and Watford (H). Unfortunately, I can't see them having much trouble with us. Half of our players simply aren't good enough at this level. 0-2 Millwall 😔 This is what happens when cost-cutting is the only priority. Waggott and Suhail are desperate to appease those scumbags in Pune, even if it's at the expense of our Championship status. Get the rats out of our Club. Venkys Out. Waggot Out. Pasha Out.- 751 replies

There was a small passing moment that I loved in the first half last night, not sure if anyone else clocked it; The ball was in the air after a big bounce and going towards Jacob Murphy, he was looking up and moving in, clearly very intent on challenging for it, then he looked down and saw big McFadz bulldozing towards it and just backed right off. 😄 Could see that he had one look at him and thought "Fuck that!" - his whole life must've flashed before his eyes 😄
