  1. Me too. I wouldn’t be interested in shaking the hand of many of them. Too many players that are just passing through the club.
  2. Correct, starting Edun was a strange one given his lack of game time but once he’d decided to sub him it should have been done straight away.
  3. I think they could keep Mowbray and crew purely because they are too lazy to do anything else.
  4. I thought the Lambert appointment was the first sensible things the Chokers had done. Not just Lambert but Irvine and the other guy ( Billy Barr ? ) he brought in as assistants. One way or another it all fell apart in no time though.
  5. I agree. For a start it’s a really good time to play West Ham. They’re playing far too many games for a squad their size. Injuries are starting to pile up.
  6. The rugby was a great afternoon out, until I turned on my phone after our game to see our score go from 0-1 to 1-1 to 2-1 in the blink of an eye ! There’s something rotten at the heart of the club. I think we all know what that “ something “ is. I’m sick and tired of the lack of commitment to the club and the shirt. The culture of failure at Rovers runs right through the club, only a change of ownership will eradicate it. Players thinking that pulling somebody back by the shirt equates to getting stuck in. They make me sick, the lot of them. They should watch the part time pro Rugby League lads, the plumbers and joiners, they really put their bodies on the line every week for a pittance. It’s what’s beating under the badge that matters in sport and too many at Ewood have a caraway seed instead of a heart.
  7. It sounds like there’s been a massive clear out behind the scenes at Burnley. The guy who was chief exec at my rugby league club was a Burnley fan and a few years ago he left to take up a job there on the commercial side. His dream job apparently. I hadn’t seen him since he left our club but recently he’s rocked up at Rochdale AFC, again in some sort of commercial role. Next time I see him I’ll ask him about the goings on at the dingledome.
  8. Thanks as always Tony. I missed the game so your report is invaluable. Thoroughly depressing reading. Have they no pride in themselves !
  9. Rovers to find a new way of losing.
  10. I thought the whole idea of employing coaching staff was so the players don’t have to learn the hard way.
  11. He still couldn’t resist going back to Boro for Morrison.
  12. I was just reading we are also the worst disciplined team in the league with 5 red cards and 51 yellow cards. How many of those yellow cards have been for little lads offences like talking back to ref and kicking the ball away etc ? I wouldn’t mind but this is the softest Rovers team I can recall in many years, apart from 2 or 3 players we haven’t got a battler at the club. Two things win you games - discipline and defence. Mowbray is obviously useless at both of those.
  13. He’s no more idea of why we went on the winning run than he has of getting us out of the losing death spirals. He’s clueless. Does throw any light on it ?
  14. Hand on heart how many of these wasters would you be sorry to see leave ? I reckon we’ve got half a dozen who are worthy of the shirt, after that they can all do one for me.
  15. That’s why I get so much out of my part time pro Rugby League team. The level of commitment is immense. They put more effort into running at the tackle bags in the warm up routine than some of our players put into a game ! There was bone crunching tackles going on all over the pitch yesterday, all for about £200 a game. Real lads not imposters.
  16. I’m thinking more “ 19th Nervous Breakdown “ if they give him another contract !
  17. Brilliant. Nothing beats seeing off your local rivals comprehensively after having a man harshly red carded. Remember the 5-0 beating of the dingles ? It was nearly as good as that. Nice day for cricket. Do they have pro’s in that competition ?
  18. I think we knew that at the time Jim.
  19. Good on him. He’s done brilliantly at Derby. He’s proved me wrong big time.
  20. We can hardly buy a goal never mind a point or three.
  21. Like a keep telling a dingle mate - “ Nothing is forever in life, especially in football, laugh at us whilst you can “. Most clubs have their time in the sun and then it’s over for a while. Decision making in football is like a big game of snakes and ladders. You keep landing on snakes and you end up on the bottom level.
  22. If he’s given another contract it will be a season too far for me. I took “ leave of absence “ when they appointed Coyle and to be honest I felt a lot better for it. There’s the normal ups and downs of following a football team and there’s the un remitting misery of a Mowbray death spiral. No more ! Either he goes or I go.
