No you won't see me tomorrow. I've got the delights of a friends wedding at 2.30 pm. I hope that's a suitable excuse for you sir. wouldn't like you to be offended. By the way, how many times have you played on Ewood Park??? I've donated over £2000 to do so on a number of occasions..... you just keep being a 'proper' fan.... also I didn't see you promoting the club in the game against the Gencler fans a few years ago.........MUPPET!!
Since we're both season ticket holders, we arranged our wedding not to clash with the fixtures. When Sky TV moved the fixture we chose to rearrange the wedding, because close friends and family are season ticket holders.
I've played on Ewood four times in local schools competitions.
Does any of the Football Aid money actually go to BRFC, aren't they a diabetes charity? (Cue accusations of uncharitable tightness)
I'd question whether having a kick-about jolly with a few opposition fans constitutes "promoting the club".

Onepost. Can you stop with the my dad's bigger than yours type comments. We have Rovers fans from all over the world on here and try to avoid the debates of "your not a proper fan because you don't live in Blackburn" or "your not a proper fan because you didn't go to xx number of away games this season" or various other numpty statements.
And we all lived happily ever after......................so we'll see you there tomorrow with all the other numpties then?
And attributing statements to me that I haven't actually made isn't very good moderating is it?

It is Cue the violins by the way. Why would anyone want to line up a row of violins next to those waiting for a cinema ticket ?.
As for me, I'll pay for a season ticket and go if you pay off my £8,000+ debts incurred by going to university and doing an MA. It'll have to be a cheque as I don't do internet banking.
Ha ha haha haha haha
Ho hoho hoho
You're really funny. All that education was worthwhile after all.
When I did my degree and my MSc I still managed to go and watch the Rovers, (and that's when we were sh!t, excluding the ecstacy of winning the Full Members)
These days I have enough money left over to go to the match or even live in squalor in Pleasington.
Pay off your own debts you sponger and use your student loan to buy a season ticket you lightweight.

Been there, done that.
Do you want to add the beauty of the Ribble valley, the History of Ribchester, or of Blackburn itself, or to display the squalor of your own existence?
I added the last bit to extract a reply.
Why? Because if you can't see the better part of where you live, you'll never see the best of anything.
My family don't live in squalor. I was asked about my "culture" or background.
Just to clarify that Ribble Valley isn't Blackburn, Ribchester isn't Blackburn and Sydney certainly isn't Blackburn.
WTF would you know? What exactly does our man in Sydney contribute? You might have an affection for BRFC, but you're not exactly a supporter are you?

I can tell you our next home game, our remaining fixtures for the season and the results for all the games my memory will allow since I started supporting the club as a 10 year old. Yes, I've never owned a season ticket and I'm sure the number of games I've attended pales in comparison to the number you have, but who exactly do you think you are to go and make those sort of statements about foreign supporters?
I know that there are plenty of foreign supporters on here and others who I have met who do the club proud and are some of the best supporters we have. It kills me that I sit in another country on a Saturday and the best I can hope for is the chance to see it on TV.
I'm sure most on here could vouch for the fact that my support for the rovers is unquestioned and dedicated, just as I could say the same for the other foreign supporters on this site. You are fairly new to the messageboard and I don't know if you haven't come across foreign supporters of the club before, but you couldn't be further from the mark in the way that you see it. Not only do you know nothing about the group of supporters on here but your attitude will do nothing but harm to the club. We need all the supporters we can get, foreign or otherwise, so I don't care if you couldn't tell us what our colours are if you support the team and maybe get your money to the club through the odd kit or game or whatever it is then you are all that I can ask for.
I'm very happy for you that you have a seaon ticket and that you probably always have, I wish I could somehow justify buying one and in the past I have actually considered doing so just to do my bit for the club. Don't question my support though, or that of others on here, and don't get on your high horse about the fact that you have the pleasure of regularly attending matches of the club we all support.
Queue violins..........
I'm certain that John William's plans to get bums on seats doesn't account for any of you lightweights

This may well be a bit boring for everybody, but One Post wanted me to substatiate why I found it ironic that he called Mr Boise a 'poo stirrer'. He sent me a PM about it and was very upset.
A good example is in the recent thread where an American poster suggested making his own kit.
Pointless antagonism against his own fans? I would define that as looking to cause unnecessary trouble.
And to JansenPrestyWales defence of Friedel in a different thread he, without provocation, threw in a:
And when Flopsy accused him of being sarcastic (nothing more or less) he replied:
All of which strikes me as looking for a bit of an argument, hence the comment which I think is justified.
Anyhow, compared to the abuse that is handed out around here on a regular basis, including by Onepost himself (he sent me a very colourful and amusing second PM), it is pretty small beer.
Mihir BOSE is seeking to discredit BRFC so I, in response, looked to undermine his reputation.
The people that you are defending didn't exactly greet me with open arms did they?
We also definitely have different opinions on what constitutes being a "fan". Shooting the breeze on here or actually getting down to a game. Also, the chap from Texas who you are defending wants to put something like "spill blood for the Rovers" on his camouflage jacket...............I NEVER antagonise real fans.
And if by your use of the word "colourful" you are suggesting that I used profanity.................well, that's not true is it?
A college year out in America doesn't automatically make you a "smart" person does it?

That's about right, though the literal translation is "We will be seen for that which we do." Doesn't QUITE have the ring that dying for the Red Rose of Lancaster does, alas.
Still, Arte et Labore has its own charm, and screwing with the motto seems a worse idea the more I think on it.
Well, I've ordered the bits for the camo jacket, now to see how it comes out.

You shouldn't feel too bad, there's people that live within 10 miles of Ewood that can't be bothered.
However, it amazes me that some appear to believe that exciting a few electrons on the electronic interweb constitutes support of a football club. When I was working in Holland for the latter part of the relegation season and the first half the first Championship season I had season tickets and was back for ALL the home games and some of the away.
We're 5TH IN THE PREMIERSHIP and you don't know when your next game is...............

I don't think they had mobiles (US: cellphones) in the Serre trenches, but after the war I think the motto became "Don't become the cannon-fodder of incompetent public school boys and their manipulative calls to patriotism"
By the way, isn't it great that we have all these American soccer fanatics now, monitoring the progress of the famous blue and white half stripes. I too can't wait to see if we progress into the "Champions play".

"Inference" and "conjecture", aren't those attributes a journalist's stock in trade Jim? Surely the connection isn't that opaque.
If only..........

"One of the problems is the number of Premiership clubs in the area. That corner of the country now has seven - Blackburn, Wigan, Bolton, Liverpool, Everton, Manchester United and Manchester City."
Let's have a look at the author of that statement, Mihir Bose. It would appear to me that he is an habitual sh!t-stirrer, the evidence suggests that Mr Bose just doesn't like the North-West football oligarchy.
In 2000 Mr. Bose had the following 320 page tome published:
"Manchester Unlimited: The Money, Egos And Infighting Behind The World's Richest Soccer Club"
Mr Bose is in the process of updating that work, which is scheduled to be republished in September 2006 as:
"Manchester United: And the Business of Soccer"
Evidence of an unhealthy obsession? Is he now turning his attentions to BRFC in the light of our recent successes? There's plenty of conjecture in this thread already that a hack journalist could weave into a work of fiction masquerading as fact.
Let's have a look at his modus operandi. In April 2004 Mihir Bose, The Telegraph's Sports News Correspondent, was deported from Zimbabwe after failing to turn up with the appropriate working visa to cover the controvial England cricket tour. His reasoning for the deportation was he was "singled out because he was British and Mugabe has a pathological hatred of the British"
Mr Bose also states "One of the excuses given for my deportation was that as a British journalist I might try to foment trouble." That would be fairly astute reasoning then.
(Just a reminder for the patriot Mihir Bose....................the North West of England is British too.)

For vocal harmonic quality what about..............

In acknowledgement of our industrial heritage what about...............

Bagpipes?
A Mariachi band?
A road drill?

How ironic that this should exactly mirror my own experiences and feelings about this board and the sum of its contribution to BRFC.
You sound uncannily like the wife, although I'm sure she would take umbrage at your use of "middle-aged man".
Wishful thinking.
Me.
