Old Codger

If he goes, I want the players to down tools in protest, for us to plummet spectacularly off the scales in terms of goals against, and everyone in football to look at our club as being the finest example of what happens if you let inbred maggoty half-wits take control of your business. I'd be happy to register regular record breaking scores against us, so that the shadow-hugging faceless morons would be forced into the light, to answer the questions that their destruction of our club so obviously require to be asked. Eustace Out means Lights Out means VENKYS OUT!!!

Exactly - at least at other clubs there will be no hidden agenda, and the actual purpose of the club won't be shrouded in mystery whilst being hamstrung by invisible rules like the manager has to operate under at Blackburn Rovers since the DESPICABLE PEOPLE took over.

And there are plenty of empirically researched and factually underpinned theories confirming that when any organism loses hope, it eventually just withers and dies. That is what is so despicable about the Raos, badly advised, bearing a childish grudge or whatever... They absolutely know the damage that they have inflicted upon this club, its supporters, the town, those who have ever contributed to the possibility of success that comes from being in football - and yet they refuse to do the honourable thing and let someone who actually might care take over the reins. The Raos are responsible for creating a hopeless situation that chews through managers, players, employees and fans expectations as if they are irrelevant - when in reality it it those expectations which are the lifeblood, the essence of a football club. They are just spoiled, entitlled brats - children in the most fundamental ways, and we are treated as if we are some meaningless toy that fell into their lap in 2011 only to be shoved to the back of the cupboard and gather dust since they realised they didn't like this game. Despicable people, surrounded by sycophants and leaches, incapable of anything honourable, and insulated from reality by their polluting, obscene, corrupt and enslaving chicken killing machine. I once said (on Granada Reports outside the ground) that I was 'quietly optimistic' about the prospect of these Indian milllionaires taking on the club. In hindsight perhaps we had grounds for quiet optimism at the time, but that has long gone, to be replaced by an entrenched feeling of dread and learned helplessness about the future of OUR club. The wheels are coming off, but this lot will keep driving until the rusting hulk is rotting in a football graveyard. DESPICABLE PEOPLE.

I wonder, what would we all do, if the club really did just disappear one day in administration? It's a bit like thinking of the last days of the Romans in Britain - lots of infrastructure, a glorious past, reminders of what once had been all around, but in reality everything out of step with the here and now. Blackburnus Romanus Fama Defuncta.. I remember them..

Hmm.... The issue is though, he's brought some self-respect and sense of identity back to the team, and somehow managed to knit together a disparate rag bag of players into a reasonably cohesive unit. Not many other managers we've endured recently have been anywhere near that, and most have had a much better deal in terms of money being spent. If he does go, I think he will be a success wherever he goes, Derby or anyhwere else, as he clealry has the management and leadership skills and capabilties needed to make a real difference - and that will be really difficult to replace.

Stop it! You'll be banging on about Andy Pandy next, then Spotty Dog, and the Woodentops. All of whom would waltz into our first team, as things stand..

Derby know it is £750k to lever JE away from Ewood. Waggott will see it as another nice little coup for his Lords & masters. Everyone else will know it is yet another shuffle up the gallows staircase for our once proud club.

Aye, but Always Look on the Bright Side of Life. Even when the Waggott's welding the knife,

Laboured, lacklustre, leggy, lightweight, leaderless, lost little lads, lacking leverage in losing like languishing laguards. BbC showed Waggott several times, looking like some deranged bog eyed escapee from Old Gates. The manner of the loss wasn't the issue. It was the inevitability of it. Ah well, let's see if JE can steer us to a decent finish. 15 cup finals here we come.

Just like that. 2 minutes. Lights out at Ewood Park. 😐

Cantwell FFS Toth FFS Playing out from the back. FFS

We are holding our own here, but I'm not sure about Toth. Kargbo looking up for it. Batth imperious at the back so far.

Betting suspended on Eustace for Derby County according to my news feed. Make of it what you will, but if he goes, I think there would be decent odds on the Rams finishing higher than Rovers this campaign.. Back to today.. it is a scratch team, but JE did say he would be throwing in the new boys for this game, and so it appears from the team sheet. If we suffer an embarrassing reverse, Ruby should be hung by the knackers from the statue of Uncle Jack. If we somehow win, then perhaps he could be given the reins, if JE decides to head to the midlands. COYB!

For anyone actually going to the game, just a reminder that Livesey Branch Road is CLOSED at Green Lane, due to a gas main leak which is still under investigation and repair. It will be chaotic due to being the approach to the ground for many of the 4500 Wolves fans making the trip from the MIdlands. There is a diversion in place, but it won't cope well will the extra traffic. Be warned! Be early! And B R F C S forget the gloom and doom sayers, it's a game and we want to win! COYB!

That is very dark. Care to shed some light on your statement?

There's nothing to suggest much interest in this game locally, and certainly nothing on offer to incentivise local participation in the event. It will, without a doubt, be more like a home game for Wolves, than for the Rovers. It speaks volumes of the desperate and disheartening times we are now forced to endure to compare the relative fortunes of today's sides with those from 20 odd years ago, when Wolves made it to the Premier League. We had quality right through the ranks then, and it just goes to show how far we have fallen to think how many of the players in the game above are way better than those we look to for inspiration these days. So, not being funny, but I don't see any prospect of anything other than a defeat tomorrow. Rovers fed to the Wolves: BRFC 1 WWFC 4 Lambs to the slaughter: Bo Peep FC 0 BBW 5 Wolverine meets scratch Team: Rovers 1 Wolverines 3 Not really bothered either way. But wft, COYB!

Forshaw and Rankin Costelloe coming on?? WHAT??

How many Rovers fans have travelled this evening?

Not a lot in this game. Could go either way, so let's see who has got the nerve, the nous and the need. COYB!!

Dolan and Wiemman, off , Cozier Dubery and Cantwell on.

Confident strike there from the lad. Get in!

A traffic cone would be an improvement

So much for keeping it tight at the back. Ah well, shit happens! 😞

Hmm. that didn't go well!

Aye, but Hedges kept running it into one of theirs, losing control, putting the ball out - lots of huff and puff, but no real impact or threat. You need your wide men to create things, for themselves and for the strikers - I didn't feel like Hedges did anything to worry the PNE back line all evening. Watch him get the nod and score a wonder-goal and get an assist for two others this evening (in my wildest dreams) Anyway, COYB!!
