Embarrassing Gav.

Not really, it's standard fare everywhere especially for government and other institutions like that. The whole institution of 'journalism' is completely co-opted into that. That's why you never see any real exposés of any corruption or what have you. It's not really journalism it's just propaganda. There are smaller independent journalists that actually do their job properly but they're harder to find. They are out there though. Venkys use a lot of the same tactics as governments but just in a cheaper and shitter way which is why they're so easy to predict. Unless you were talking about the woman fighting her toddler over a bag of smack, which again is a daily occurrence in Blackburn and not really much of a newsworthy story.

I believe they should be. Looking forward to some of that famous chaddyland logic to come avalanching down.

A massive improvement for this club's approach.

To be fair, if we'd have just dumped a sack of spuds on the goal line it would look much more assured than Pears.

This lad should have been in the nets all season. Highly likely we'd have finished in the playoffs had he been in there rather than the walking disaster that is Pears. Great that he's got a start for Hungary.

It's access journalism. If he starts reporting about what is happening then the LET will lose access to the club. Given the fact Rovers are the only thing keeping the LET afloat, there will never be any kind of investigative stories on this matter from them. If they lost access to Rovers all's they've got is headlines like "EXCLUSIVE! Woman Fights Her Three Year Old Son Over £10 Bag Of Heroin"

It was the stone age wilsden, thankfully we are spared from such horrors in the modern game. Dark times indeed.

He made some of the most baffling decisions I have ever seen. Literally both sets of fans and players left in total bemusement by some of the things he gave.

It's been like that since I have been watching the game. So obvious that players from the 'big clubs' are favoured for selection. There's a reason they never gave the job to Brian Clough.

That's just disgusting. I hope we never have to see such barbarian tactics again.

Thankfully we now have top tier coaches like Russell Martin who can show us the right way to play the game. Hopefully we never have to return to the dark days of crossing wingers, tackling defenders and the dreaded two up front.

I don't understand why the wingers crossed the ball into the box. They could have lost possession there. What they should have done was stopped and passed back 5 yards to the nearest player.

Hopefully they have to pay three times the total amount they've sent over here since 2010.

I'd give them a hand throwing all their shit into a skip when they're leaving. I'd even raise a leg to boot them up the arse on the way out.

That seems incredibly similar to the model of 10-15 years ago where we forced out all of our proven experienced players and got in a load of random Portuguese lads....

Yet they're so far ahead of the teams in the division below.

Just saw earlier that Uriah Rennie has died at the age of 65. Quite saddened and shocked by that to be honest. Along with being a referee he was a martial arts black belt I believe. He was a shit ref though.

Only if he's smoking synnies

You can give up on the league in December when the three relegated teams are already confirmed in November. Last season was the most pathetic season of football there has ever been. So boring, so predictable, such low quality from top to bottom. And I'm not just talking about the premier league there, that's across the whole of Europe at minimum. Just another glaring example of how selling off your culture to billionaires and multinational conglomerates leads to nothing other than an end product that is at best mediocre and completely toxic at the worst whilst also being massively overpriced and overhyped.

Exactly, boycott the club and support the coalition.

Those old boots were made with real leather and were well made. I'd hazard a guess they were made in Germany. The boots nowadays are synthetic shite made in the cheapest sweatshops the company can find. Modern clothing is awful quality and made with cheap plastic unless you spend an absolute fortune. Look at football shirts. The old ASICS ones from the 90s I have are still in new condition. Made in the UK as well. Compare that to the cheap shit you get now. When you look into the way the clothing industry operates it's no wonder our whole global ecosystem is completely fucked.

I see what you mean now. Even more of a reason to do our own version. The official 150th anniversary shirt brought to you by the supporters coalition.

I would suspect that they wouldn't have started the process without knowing they would secure some kind of conviction. Really hoping the money runs out soon. Administration can't come soon enough.

Or they're reversed on the front.
