Alan "Birdy" Birkbeck - RIP
Gordon Ottershaw replied to Herbie6590's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
I migrated to Australia in 2009 and was delighted when, a few years later, Rovers took part in a pre season tournament in Sydney. I felt quite pleased with myself having flown to watch Rovers from my new home in Adelaide but hubris deflated my ego when I saw Birdy and his Mrs strolling around Circular Quay! Amazing! A true 'Super Fan'. R.I.P.- 86 replies

Venky’s, HMRC…The Plot Thickens ?

Sadly Jack's family wanted the moolah and couldn't get their hands on the Rupees quick enough. -
Rovers Down Under

Adelaide based here. I'm trying to wean myself of Rovers though as as following the club makes me sad and angry. Life is too short. -
23/24 kit; is a new sponsor needed?
Gordon Ottershaw replied to alex l's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
I wonder if our Commercial Department got on the blower to Autolab? It's a Blackburn company which, apparently, supplies high end vehicles to Footballers. It would seem like a good fit and nothing like as cringe as a Vaping company. -

Gordon Ottershaw replied to alex l's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
I certainly don't want Rovers to go cap in hand to the Issa brothers but is it beyond the club to sell them a mutually beneficial commercial partnership on the basis that their various businesses and Rovers are Blackburn based entities with a national profile? Apparently it is. This sponsorship is very disappointing. I'm sceptical about the anti vaping propaganda but I just feel that vaping is poorly regarded and percieved which reflects negatively on the club. Such a poxy logo that looks terrible on our shirt too. -
They won the League on Pathe News.

BRFCS TV - Nostalgia Thread
Gordon Ottershaw replied to Herbie6590's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Such an effective team. I remember us going up and then taking the Second Division by storm. We played Derby away early that first season back up. I think we drew but Mickey Speight thwacked the crossbar with A free kick and we battered them. Sadly Kendall was too good to not attract the attention of First Division clubs and him going was inevitable. -

I was there as a 14 year old and went on the train with my snot nosed mates! Great season, great memories. -
v Stoke City (a) - 10/3/23

That is a bit before my time but I seem to remember Rovers playing in all red at Ewood in a UEFA Cup game. -

No matter who the manager is Stoke always seem to be fairly direct and physical, the sort of team Rovers traditionally struggle against. They are rightly regarded as a big club and have a recent Premier League pedigree. They have a good manager and represent the type of opposition that Rovers often trip up against when we're seemingly on the cusp of success. The pessimism is probably due to a combination of those factors. -
I know a few Burnley fans. Some are ok, some have got a screw loose. Also worked in Burnley in the 90s. I know we laugh about the place but there is a weird vibe about it. There seems to be a disproportionate amount of Not Rights there.

Well, I hope they have at least one more performance like that in them because they owe the fans big time after that disgrace at t'Turd.
-
I get that but last night's performance was out of the ordinary. I absolutely hate to say this but b*ly are consistently comfortably better than us.

I couldn't take another pasting off the Inbreds.

Is anyone going to mention Dolan's touch in controlling JRC's sublime crossfield pass? -

Whilst accepting the valid points made about Tomasson's achievements under trying circumstances I can't get past the capitulation at b*ly. I can't listen to Tomasson or bear to see his face. -

Gordon Ottershaw replied to sympatheticclaret's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
I live overseas but work with a lot of Expats most of whom are Football fans. They're all talking about the game and showing lots of interest. Personally, I can't wait for it to be over, I actually feel sick. -

How long before Spurs are reported as "lining up a swoop"? -
I love a horrible scrappy home win, they are the stuff of successful seasons. The Yahoos have had 2 in a week and they've got Rotherham at t'Turd on Wednesday. Anyone that finishes above them goes up for me but I fancy we'll get our first draw of the season in the Land That Time Forgot.
