And we never have been, it all comes back to this, anyone who thinks Venkys give 1% of care to Rovers and not themselves is deluding themselves.

We are just so much less athletic than Plymouth, we look like we are playing in mud. Carter not a RB and getting absolutely no support defensively , Cissako in acres of space all the time and absolutely destroying him. We are lucky they haven't got 3 they look a gear up on us. We are still in it but it's going to take a big uplift to get a point

That's two derbies now they only scabbed a point courtesy of shocking officiating. Set of soft sacks.

So PNE get the benefit of 2 goals and 3 points for a guy who's been charged and accepted it, I'm peed off Watford fans must be fuming.

Agree. He looks off the pace to me, which is understandable given his lack of a proper pre-season.

An awful performance that exposed all of our weaknesses, no pace, no creativity, players in the middle unable to control a game. I hoped the soft underbelly was a thing of the past, but as so often on a midweek away game it reared it's head. Every team in this league will have a night like that, we need to make sure they aren't every midweek like the last few years. We've so far been punching given the players we have, as Eustace this season is making us a team that has played to its limited strengths and been better than the sum of its parts. Last night he got it wrong. If he's the real deal, he'll get a reaction at Plymouth, I expect Gueye to start. A place I never fancy us at. Hopefully we show some of that grit and grind it out, I'd settle for a hard working point.

Really interesting listening to the Scousers in my office , Liverpool fans, all moaning about digital tickets. Lad next to me has 4 phones on him today just to make sure other people can still use tickets. These are young lads, tech savvy. All complaints about how restrictive it is, how much it's about control of who gets tickets and how. A lot of other issues which interested me about the club, so many walking away, not just digital tickets but the feeling of how the club treat them and football culture in general, one saying Digital, basically stopped his grandad going.

They just don't get it do they, get them on sale early , set them at a max £350, make it cheap in the Riverside Sell 11-12k probably. If you were going to get a season ticket you'd do it 99% of the time when they are cheapest, not think oh well we're doing OK I'll get a 17 game one at a higher price than it was if I'd bought a full one on Phase 1. If they said Swansea and Sheffield United will be £10 adults and £1 children as we want as many fans as possible to be able to get to Ewood to help continue this great start , season ticket holders will recieve a rebate to reflect this which can be debited immediately or taken off the cost of next year's season ticket. We hope to see as many fans as possible who otherwise wouldn't be there taking advantage of our pricing inspired by 94/95. Fill as many as possible until end of November , then put out an enticing half season ticket offer. I am sure we'd get more in than the cost of extra few stewards and pies and long term feel good impact, seats at a tenner and young lad getting a shirt from club shop far outweighs this restrictive Waggot approach. Might even make me get my ST back after Waggot forced me out.

Thanks for this, please keep it up

A good win again. Very pleased to see Eustace learnt quickly from last week and we came out with purpose. We don't seem to get bullied anymore and team spirit seems really good. We're solid, but not spectacular which bodes well over 46 games, I don't get the feeling we'll have wild swings of form this season like previous years. We're clearly in need of Cantwell getting match fit as we've now looked very laboured in attack for the last game and a half. Very pleased we have a lot of the Labore, a bit more Arte from somewhere and we won't be going away. Lots of credit to Eustace, he's had a good summer and the feel good factor is back, time for some cheap ticket deals while the going is good.

We've got bring on Cozier- Duberry, stay wide and make the pitch big.

Just re-watched the match. As others have said, I never felt we were going to concede. Dolan was a constant threat, Yuki is cult hero status already. Owen Beck is a proper fullback, nice to see a defender doing what their first job is rather than being glorified wingers who can't defend. I am delighted that our recruitment looks to be thought out for a change and that their is a obvious team spirit and a bit if steel. The manager it seems has done a terrific job in getting the basics right during pre season. We look a team thats not going to roll over against anyone. Long may it continue. Bring on PNE!

Their entire identity as a football club and as a town is to despise us, this just demonstrates it. It's ruined their season already, they simply cannot comprehend we don't have such a unhealthy obsession that we'd take a well earned point, with 10 men. Absolutely heads gone. If they believe out best chance of beating them was with 10 men against a side that's had over £100 million spent on it, whilst they are 'streets ahead' I don't know, but reality never did land well over there. Desperate for crumbs of comfort to take any form a moral victory in their tiny insular echo chamber. These people are the same who wanted Dyche out for a new style, believe football is all about Xg and possession and box entries. At least when we've been beaten by them, we've had the half decency to slag ourselves off and recognise the realities.

They celebrated Kevin Balls tackle & Micah Hydes fluke, like they had win the champions league, they still go on about it! They have no room to talk.

Showing more fight than the last time is a bare minimum that I'll at least be satisfied with. They should beat us, but we've confounded the odds before. Head says 3-0, but heart is 2-2, late equaliser from Ohashi and the scruffs go into meltdown. Let's just let them know they are in a game and we know what this derby means. I want a few yellows for proper tackles, last time we didn't lay a glove on them.

Will this be available to watch on ifollow overseas? I will be in the Netherlands on Saturday afternoon and I don't think the clubhouse at the club oll be at will have it on.

That statement is to coin a modern term, absolute gaslighting. Every word drips with lies and contempt and feels like it's designed to be divisive among fans.

3-1 Rovers. Our first XI is OK. Shit comes at Christmas

I think you being on here is good as it re-affirms that we are the morally righteous fanbase 😉 If a Rovers fan went on NNN or Clarets Mad back in the day, they wouldn't get more than 1 post in without being vilified, insulted and banned by some small minded cave dweller with a burning hatred borne out of jealousy. However , as we'll always be a more successful and bigger club than you (albeit on our knees at the minute) , we can freely welcome the few of you that have evolved to the level of figuring out electricity and the Internet as well as procuring a specially adapted keyboard and mouse for the additionally digited 😜😁 *As much as I really dislike your fanbase , we should both be proud of what two small mill towns from East Lancashire have given to English football.

"Pleeeease release me, let me gooo"

We're going to a replay then? It's endless

It was tongue in cheek. I wouldn't storm the high court here either.

Can we all just sign in to the hearing and start a chant of venkys out?

I don't need to try and follow the court hearings or find the outcome as soon as possible because Steve will write my article for me after my holiday , he's such a great guy.

If its been and gone, I hope our local reporter was up early and had his finger on the pulse...
