He's paid handsomely to be an impartial pundit. 

Yes he is. 

And can I just say, he's an absolute bloody bore. Whatever they're paying him, it's far too much. 

The team played like Spartans. OK, so we didn't score all our penalties. But hindsight is a wonderful thing. I'd have preferred to win. But somehow we now have to pick ourselves up for a relegation battle

How poor was that ref? Dear me, he had a shocker 

The stadium is a physical manifestation of the club, of its values. If Rovers were the religion, then Ewood is the temple. 

The kit is the vestements.

Quite where that puts waggott and the venkys in this analogy, I'm unclear. The holy vestments have been defaced with the blasphemy of vape, the temple is falling into ruin and suffering the desecration of the ducting of the tape, and our best priests cast into exile to appease the Gods of Rupee. 

I assume their corporeal appointees are not made in their image. What sort of male God let's his tits fall out of his shirt? 

These are false idols and I suggest an exorcism. Or perhaps an enema

Hey no problem, I think people should be free to express how they really feel on here, within the guidelines. It's not good to bottle it up.

Win, lose, draw. It all leaves me cold. Looks like I'm not the only one given that there's just thirteen pages here. 

When's the next court hearing?

If you look at our league form across Dec/Jan/Feb, the last 13 matches have yielded just 8 points!

Given we have 15 matches to go and probably need another 15 points to be safe, then I would say the alarm bells are well and truly ringing.

If anything is worse that we've got that bit of a cushion, because it may mean we do into bottom three plate on, and if that happens we just won't have the fight and the wherewithal to get out of it. 

I did think it would be next season that we go down, but despite the buffer, if we carry on as we are we'll eventually be caught

Just now, simongarnerisgod said:

we won`t go down this year,though i`me seriously worried about next season,unless there is some serious money spent

I'm fairly sure there won't be. We should have enough of a cushion to stay up this season with only one place left to play for. But we're so bad, I'm not totally sure. 

I think it's odds-on we'll hardly spend this summer. If the investigation is still on, then we may even seek sammie. In such circumstances it's difficult to imagine the worse teams than us. I'd have to go off grid for the Burnley games

It really does grieve me. They just do not care at all. Never mind that thousands of people will be heartbroken about this. How about taking some fucking pride in your job you doss bag of spilt fuck? 

But then I guess if you don't give a shit about your personal appearance why the hell care what the stadium looks like? 

It's bloody maddening really.

I am crap as you are crap you're as bad as me
We're in the shit togeter
See how we scoff like pigs at a trough
See the club die
Fans are cryin'

Sitting with my cornflakes
Waiting for Duncan to come
Corporation tie & shirt, stupid bloody deadline day
Man, you've been a naughty boy
You left the fax machine on

[Gregg]:I am the eggman
[Venky's]:Who is the eggman?
[Waggott]:I am the walrus
Goo goo a'joob

Indian judge in court sitting
Got our excuses all in a row
See how they burn like a Zep' in the sky
This is how the club's run
We're tryin',we're tryin'
We're tryin',we're tryin'

Mowbray never had to deal with the financial and recruitment insanity that JDT has had to put up with. JDT could only dream of having £7m to spend on a handful of players, let alone a single striker. 

 

Never mind if we spent seven mill, it would be the egg that spent it! 

Particularly the last few years Mowbray was robbing a living, and it's mine boggling to be that he's been given yet another gig

A picture speaks a thousand words. 

"god almighty, get me out of this room" 

"wonder where the gaffer is going onto, maybe he'll take me with him?" 

"it's hot in here and the air is dry, I'm starting to feel ill. Or is it just listening to Waggott that makes me feel that way?"

Let's be honest, the players seen in the meeting would've had no choice in attending. It was clearly a Waggott attempt to deflect attention from the shambles that is BRFC; the players couldn't not go, or not participate once there, and at that point they have a duty to the other players, especially the younger ones, to voice their concerns.

I hope this doesn't turn into a fans v players situation, because it's always ever only been about fans v owners/management, but I fear from the reactions of many on here that that's becoming inevitable, and if so will only end in relegation no matter who replaces JDT.

It's also again at risk of turning fans against fans, again splitting the fanbase so that we seem like a disparate bunch of individuals when we really all need to have one voice, a loud & clear one that is directed at Venkys & their stooges.

Couldn't agree more. 

If you get angry at the players, you're just playing into this guy's hands. It's classic divide and rule stuff. 

It's a shame if that did happen, because at this point I don't think it would take much for the whole without to come tumbling down. I'm not sure if this is his last play, but it's got that kinda smell to it. 

Surely these are the dying days of the Venky cong. How could they possibly continue? It just needs yer man with the wig in the court to tell em to ram it, fat Barry to finally tumble he's on a definite loser and they'll go. Surely it's not feasible to carry on like this. It's just ain't all round and who's benefitting? Just Steve and shadow man

After this meeting and the events of the last week- I genuinely think this up there with as embarrassed and ashamed as I’ve ever felt about the club.

The McGuire thing really shook me. You just can't treat people in that manner, it's just not right. This is what these people have done, absolutely trashed the good reputation of this club.

The brazen lack of care is astonishing. The sheer brass neck in turning up at work day after day picking up a King's ransom despite being shit and not caring. It beggars believe. If it was me I'd be reluctant to step outside my front door.

Not that you can blame them, but the body language of the players looks terrible in that clip. The old "what on earth am I doing here" vibe.

Oh god yeah, I think it's Sammie da Szmo covering his face with his hand. 

Whenever anyone says "right you lot" I cringe inside. I can imagine Waggott saying things like "you lot" . "Right you lot, I've got the fans in, they've got something to say." 

It's like displacement activity. I'm a useless sod, but I'll leverage my authority to make it between the players and fans and get myself off the hook

The conclusion has to be that Venky's don't want promotion.  Our 2 big chances to go up in recent seasons, under Mowbray and Tomasson, and the funding was never there to give us that final push into the playoffs.

I think it suits them for Rovers to be out of the top flight, where the glare of publicity and worldwide attention that the Premier League receives would cast a spotlight on the owners and their "activities".  I still maintain Rovers as a club have for the past decade been used as a money laundering (tax dodging) vehicle by Venkys

 

 

Strange isn't it what nick Harris said that the owners still hope we'll get back to the premiership

I thin it's more likely she doesn't want to spend any more money and is seeking to recoup some of the losses built up over the years. Sadly, the Wharton deal might have given her encouragement to hang on in the hope of selling other assets.
