In your fucking wet dreams, mate. VENKYS OUT!

I am beginning to believe that relegation might be the best option for Rovers. Maybe even down to the fourth tier, where we have never been in our proud history. Anything would be worthwhile if we could rid the club of the scourge that is the inbred band of idiots in Pune, and their sneaky back-room shysters who have drained the life-blood from this club. Just look at the level of froth and fear in these pages - most of us can't even be bothered to get angry anymore, about our criminal treatment by the fit for nothing but a good kicking 'benefactors' (my arse) of the proud tradition of Blackburn Rovers. If it takes relegation. BRING IT ON... VENKYS OUT!

Give over with that nonsense - everybody knows the project is to stay in this division, whatever the cost.

Looks like he's been crying all night, poor sod!

It will be bye bye to any more games this season for me if it is 😉

Clowns. And worse than that, Dangerous Clowns.

Sadly, I feel the negativity around the club and it's clearly troubled finances will negate any optimism or momentum coming from the routine dispatching of the Welsh contingent on Monday evening. I think QPR will come to the game looking to put our heads down early, then use their own guile and shithousery (which we have lost since Trav was shipped off to tractorland) to shut up shop. Without the luxury of any superior quality on the bench it is becoming harder and harder for JDT to be able to shuffle the pack during a game if things aren't going our way. His hands are tied, the energy and spirit of the club is being leeched out, and we have less and less means of turning things around. I couldn't care less about how QPR play, I know nothing about who their players (or manager) are and I don't give a shit where they are in the league. All I know is that Blackburn Rovers are holed below the waterline, apparently dead in the water, with a captain (JDT) who is desperate to get to land but who appears to know the ship is sinking. The mayday calls are there for all to hear. I wouldn't be surprised if JDT was not at the club when the barcodes arrive in town in late Feb, as the owners of the club clearly don't care about anything but driving down costs and recouping some of the cash they've ploughed in over the past years. He will be off as soon as the first viable lifeboat comes alongside, and who can blame him? As for the game, we will labour, we will huff and puff, and stroke the ball around, and Sammie will power everything but the floodlights with his amazing energy. But in the end, our glass jaw will break our Rovers supporter hearts a little more. Rovers 1 QPR 2 GET THE FUCK OUT, VENKYS

Tommy Cooper, long since deceased.

Gallagher adding some value to his transfer potential too. Being well praised by the Relsh commentary team, who also mentioned that Ipswich are looking at him. We need to put this to bed if we can, after half time. No room for mercy, no place for the romance of the cup - all we need is Rovers to keep their heads and do the necessary. Next goal is key.

And once again, we play ourselves into a needless crisis.

ONE NIL WREXHAM

It's on the BBC iPlayer and on mainstream Welsh telly (BBC) I believe.

Well, after Maidstone's heroics at Ipswich yesterday, the pressure certainly ramps up a fair bit on little old Rovers to perform against the mighty erm... Wrexham of League Two, who are only 31 places below us in the football pyramid. They are scoring well and not conceding (54 for, 37 against) in the league at least and only the most insular and blinkered footie fan would discount the momentum and positive feeling they've built from being picked up by Hollywood. With a (relatively) large and likely vocal support at Ewood, all concentrated behind the goals they are likely to sound more like the home club than Rovers are, so there is potentially a psychological advantage to them from the start. What Rovers need is a steady hand, the confidence to weather any early nerves and to focus on doing the things we know how to do well. Then of course a big slice of the rub of the green, and someone (anyone!) to step up and deliver the goods in front of goal (theirs and ours!). I don't rule out the possibility of a reverse, a cup shock, a shameful defeat - it's football and on the day anything can happen. But it is just one game and we will move on whatever the result. Fair play to the more sensible / level headed Wrexham fans who have posted on here in the last couple of weeks - remember how it felt when we had Uncle Jack at our backs? That feeling of magic happening, and an almost invincible air? Being a supporter of a club that is on the ascendancy after years of being in the doldrums is a bit like being in love for the first time - you can't quite believe your luck, and it makes you forget that life might still be a bit shitty for everyone else 😉 So, it is going to be a challenge - their set piece plays and battering ram forwards might well hole us below the waterline. But we are Blackburn Rovers and we too can deliver a smile to our supporters' careworn faces - especially in Cup competitions like this. I can't imagine it will be a walk in the (Ewood) park, but at least it won't be boring to watch (like Fulham v Newcastle last evening, which was as turgid an affair as has been on the telly for many a year). C'mon you Blues! Into Round 5 let's cruise!

But I don't get how appointing a quality 'Head Coach' of the calibre of JDT fits this model. It isn't just short term window dressing, surely? There are too many unanswered questions around this stinking mess of a club, and it is about time we got some answers 🙃

It was covered earlier in the thread. The club couldn't care less who is able to attend the game, probably because they will get a few extra quid from TV money and they can save tuppence ha'penny on staff overtime by letting them knock off at normal time for a monday. The police advice thing is a complete red herring and more than likely a lie. Unbelievable incompetence. Or, on reflection, cynical undrmining of our fan base.

How pending is pending. Does it depend on any dependencies. If so, can you defend the dependencies? Tum te tum... pending further consideration, I've decided it was a typo, and should have read, "impending indecision from the owners.."

Come on Rovers (i.e. FWaggot and Baldy enthusiastic guy) get a wiggle on and do some sodding deals. How hard can it be to pick up the phone, tell them what you want (for outgoings) what you'll pay (for incomings) and let them speak? Get a move on. It is the end of January next week. If someone (Ipswich for example) wants one of our players, write the number on a piece of paper, then read out what it says - whilst speaking to your counterpart at the Ipswich / Palace end upon the tellingtonphone. Then send them a WhatsApp pic of your genitals, followed by a dark message that there will be more of that sort of thing if they don't get their fingers out. Should move things on nicely. For incoming players, it works like this. You ask your well connected scouting network to identify some options. You pick up the phone to their current club and tell them that if they don't sell said option(s) to us for a knock-down-knacker price in the next nano-second, their WhatsApp accounts will be receiving unphotoshopped and very graphic anatomical offerings in large volume and high digital fidelity, until they see sense and let us have their player for thruppence ha'penny. Sorted. Sorry for the lesson in how to do business like a football god. I'm just a bit bored with all this waiting around for something to happen 😞

Personally I'm loving it. It is clear that the only way to dislodge the rats that infest this club below decks is to sink the flaming thing and watch them scuttle off with their sorry wet arses handed to them. Venkys - £200 plus million down the drain. Hooray! Steve Waggott - £300k salary gone in a flash. Hooray! Baldy bright eyed bloke - back to a day job washing spuds and scouting for planters. Hooray! Crap marketing man - back to school you bereft of business brains buffoon. Hooray!! JDT - off to rebuild his reputation after suffering a rude awakening having dared to dream for this club but being treated as collateral damage for the whims and egos of the hidden ones. Boooo! Fans of BRFC - once again able to make eye contact with counterparts of other footballing persuasions after years of embarrassed foot shuffling and hiding in the shadows. HOO-FOOKING RAY!!! I don't care if we are playing in the West Lancaster League - I will still get all misty eyed about the blue & white, cos I'm Rovers till I die. Now, where's that hole punch and lump hammer??.....

Someone should call the club out on this - the plod would have a) no interest and b) no actual power to enforce such a closure unless there was clear and verifiable evidence that there was a significant threat of serious disorder or harm. If they have indeed got such intelligence to hand, why isn't it being used to ensure the likely perpetrators are held to account and prevented from causing a problem, rather than some boneheaded blanket ban on ticket sales that is likely to damage the club? It is the first I've ever heard of a club being told to shut up shop for a low-volume fixture like this one. FFS, there will be fewer folks at the game than there were for the last match against Huddersfield, and I don't think the police kicked off about that...? I smell the foul hand of Waggott around this. Police advice, MY ARSE. VENIAL VENKYS VAMOOSE WITHERING WAGGOT aWAY

Fixed that for you... War chest. The Rovers version.

It looks like it is even worse than the (physical) ticket office being closed - the link clearly states that the ticket office will be closed on matchday (Monday 29th) and tickets are available only on sale till 5pm. GOONS! The lot of them. I was going to go, depending on what kind of a day I've had next Monday, but feck it, why should anyone bother with these morons trolling the fanbase at every possible opportunity. MORONS! CLUELESS VENKYS OUT! CYNICAL WAGGOTT OUT!

No, it is because there aren't even any 50p pieces left that we can rob from the leccy meter. We have no money to spend. We are brassic. Next stop its White Lightning and jellies as we roll around in our own piss in the gutter outside what used to be the Home of Blackburn Rovers. Cheers Venkys. And get stuffed Waggott, you useless arsewipe of a leach.

That is inspired work sir! Not sure the chicken should be looking quite so pleased with itself though 😉

Rumours of his demise are greatly exaggerated 😉 I understand that poster took a well needed break from BRFCS for 'mental health' reasons. Expect fire and brimstone any time soon 🙂

Aye, but you pay peanuts, you get monkeys. It does make you wonder what on earth we ask these people to do, and whether they actually understand we are a professional football club and that perhaps it might be good to employ some players in the areas where the head coach acknowledges we have gaps...
