Wow, good find!

Yeah that's who I was thinking of, was he the first? But then foreign could also include players from the Republic of Ireland?

Just a bit of fun and I don't know the answer to this. But who was Blackburn rovers' first foreign signing? Think it was some Danish fella in the seventies but I forget him name

Thanks mate. Found this also https://youtu.be/WCZ_8HbuvIk?si=F7t9zsWgEKkFjheY

Hi guys, I've tried to get a cigarette card collection together of rovers players of yesteryear. Thought it would be nice to have on the wall, I wouldn't have seen any of these play, but it's just something nice that is pre venkys. What do you reckon, any good? There's only some players you can get, done that I wanted don't even exist at all. I really wanted Billy garbutt, he's revered in Italy because he managed there. But no doing sadly.

We're stuck with the bastards forever, aren't we? Should've known better than to hope

That made me laugh

Well hopefully they've had their chips, that's what really counts. They were utterly radish, so many times because of them, my heart, it choked. It was a caper they never should've embarked upon. They hired so many chancers and morons, there wasn't mushroom for talent

Please release us, lettuce gooooooo

Could I vote for passively destructive please?

I wouldn't want to call this one at all. QPR I have it on reliable info are absolutely gash. Seems were not much better. My crystal ball says there could be a red card, var controversy, an own goal and a dreadful miss. And at full time, over team wins, by a goal. Or did you don't like that I have other predictions

Sorry to hear your news. Must be very difficult to really process the two things. Fingers crossed for you. I think the caller you can stay, the more that will help your mum

To think we started off by beating West brom and then best Watford away, back when Watford were rated. QPR is absolutely pivotal because if we do go into bottom three, I don't think we'll be getting out of it. Doesn't feel like there's any fight to the club any more. In any case, I think eventually we're going to drop, it's the laws of physics. The uplift from venkys is getting more and more feeble, but gravity stays the same. And if we do go down, we won't be coming back up again, not without a change of ownership

von Grabbi?

Iron egg ftw

Well yeah either the medical wasn't done properly, despite the what professor doctor Chadwick says. Or it was done properly and we signed him anyway, in which case, wtf?

Personally, I think it's 50/50 win or lose, with a 20% chance of a draw 👍

No one fully knows the the risks of vaping, because it's not been around that long

Sounds like a fixed mindset to me. I'm not an addiction counselor, but I read plenty on it over the course of the pandemic. The first question to ask someone with an auction is not "why the addiction" it's "why the pain?", they're addicted because they're in pain, and they're in pain because they've had trauma. It's not a choice, it's a desperate need for emotional regulation that drives them to that substance or to that activity, they can't regulate internally All this moral fibre stuff about it's a choice, maybe it is for some people, but not for those with genuine addictions. Do you think people on fentanyl would do it if it was out of choice? It eats your face away. Please think before judging people, because if you speak to them harshly you may on fact be drilling them further into addiction by knocking their emotional state further out of balance

Firstly, I wouldn't start from this point. The club basically ran itself thanks to some very decent operators. It just required a little bit of dough each year. But no, these clueless wankers got rid of big Sam and started thinking they could run the gaff from India. I'm not going to run through the litany of arse-ups and bad appointments, but I would say the Henning berg saga was the apotheosis of their reign of terror. The club is a total bloody basket case and they are the root cause of it. They are the reason that they must put in twenty mill a season just to stop us from going to the wall. I don't want them to put in fifty mill a season, I just want them to FUCK OFF

Feeling despondent about everything rovers, which is a word thing to say the day after we've won 5-2 in the cup. I think Leicester could well hand out a reaming. It's away isn't it? I think a win for rovers is pretty unlikely

So... Scunthorpe United... Is this going to be is one day? Owner turns off the taps, fans banned, club kicked out of ground, fa belatedly investigates

But why own us in that case? Were costing them sixteen percent of the profits they'd otherwise make, I'm not John Harvey Jones but that to me isn't sundry expenses. Again I have to ask, why do they keep us, what's the advantage?

Northern premier?

The whole thing just makes me so sad. We were such a great family club. Probably the best run town club out there. If it had happened to Liverpool or spurs you'd never hear the end of it. Look what e we've become, we've been hollowed out. How it was even possible for venkys to buy us, let alone all that happened next, is scandalous. But no one outside of rovers really cares, and the gravy train keeps on rolling, so it's all been forgotten about. But more than just what's happened, what makes me sadder still is the feeling that these bastards won't let go of us. Is it being done out of spite? Apathy? Tax write off? The idea that they're somehow into football and want rovers to be successful, well you can shove that. They've been a destructive force for this club, and will continue to be so until the blessed day, if it comes, when they finally, for the first time, do something decent for this club... By putting it up for sale. But yeah, fuck all of em. And their kids. Their best mates. Their stooges. Their butler. Their pet mongoose. Fat barrys under-boob fungal yeast growth I wouldn't piss in their ear if their brains were on fire
