Upside Down

Also other contemporary sources of quite possibly the first ever game played at Church which states that the team wore blue and white quarters.

Just to make sure.

I can accept the club failing and the team performing poorly. I can't and won't accept when those things are done deliberately by choice.

What a gimp.

End of the day the only protest that will raise any awareness is one of two options 1. Total boycott - Not happening 2. Cause so much disruption that the game gets abandoned - Also not happening

No evidence to suggest that the team ever played in those colours though. The date of the foundation of the club is also up for debate.

I'd hazard a guess that it's the same clique as before, just a few new faces.

Exactly my thoughts. We need to emphasize that they are bringing the reputation of the Indian nation into disrepute with their levels of sheer brain dead incompetence.

100% Born in Blackburn. Bleed blue & white. Rovers till I die.

What a load of fucking bollocks. The fact they gave one to that dolloper Mowbray one completely devalues them. More cheap easy shit.

You need a shred of integrity to have those emotions.

Yep, 100% everything in that brief article is totally correct. Especially the line "venkys make Chansiri look competent".

Nice fireplace

Well there's all that lovely commission for one thing.

Filled out the survey.

Don't know if anyone else has read this, not about Rovers specifically but it highlights how much of a proper football town Blackburn is and how pivotal the town was in the development of the game. https://www.thefootballhistoryboys.com/2023/09/blackburn-olympic-footballs-most.html?m=1

It's on some football kit website. That's it. Every contemporary source says the team played in blue and white quarters, i.e halves, reversed on the back.

Finding it really difficult to argue with you on this one.

It's the same as with the players who played for England. They were allowed to wear the England badge as an honour of being an international player. This whole Maltese cross garbage has become the gospel now because it would take a cursory five minutes to read through some of the actual history to understand why one or two players had that on their shirts in the earliest photo. Notice that not all the players have that badge on their shirts. As with anything at venky Rovers, even putting in a derisory amount of effort is deemed to be too much. The Maltese cross is cheap, easy and can be generated by AI in a few seconds. An actual commemorative badge would take effort and care along with the most basic understanding of the club history.

They will deliberately let Ewood Park fall into a state of disrepair and then sell it off as they move towards a ground sharing agreement with Clitheroe or someone similar. They've already deliberately relegated both the men's and women's teams this season. I'm sure some walnut brained troglodytes will applaud the move coming out with the usual guff "wot duu uww oxpikt wiiii iz o smoll tuwn klu6". Fuck venkys, kentaro, SEM and fuck anyone who supports them in any way. Absolute cunts.

Yes, I agree with you completely.

This bollocks will have been deliberately spread out there by those in power to find leaks and to try and make the fans look like mugs. Heavens forbid they should put the same amount of energy into just doing a moderately competent job running the club. The fact that this was believable says everything really.

It doesn't align with party policy. In one season they've deliberately relegated both the men's and women's teams. That's quite an achievement even for them.

It's in relation to an article posted on here a couple of weeks ago about how the Indian banks would loan large sums of money to wealthy individuals or companies for whatever reason and then when things came to a head they would just write off the debt. I'll have a look at seeing if I can find it again as it was an interesting read. Pure corruption obviously, but you'd have to have the naivety of a toddler to not think that's the sort of world venkys operate in. As for them being just the face of ownership, the last 15 years has had enough mental shit happening to suggest this is at least a possibility.
