SIMON GARNERS 194

Half time and we're going down faster than a pro's knickers.

We're offering the sum total of sweet F.A.

Kevin Gallacher just chunners utter shit..embarrassing man.

Welcome to our shit world.

Miller...feck me!

0-1

Bad start this..

Fans are voting with their feet,no doubts about it.

'Im struggling to relate to the squad or manager.' Im with you Glen,for the first time in Decades i have zero empathy or connection with anyone in this Rovers team.No leaders on the Pitch,no Talisman,nothing but a team of sub standard plodders who I feel just dont care one iota. Couple that with an arrogant,stone cold Manager and its an impossible situation.I just hope today is the one we say hello then wave goodbye to this character while we still have time to salvage this awful Season.

Sounds just great...more embarrassment.

3-2 Nob End...we'll get battered off that lot.

How many more references to our foundation year being 1874 do we need,again,they surely cant all be wrong! The Mystery continues......

That's even more confusing! The formation of any Club will be its initial foundation not its first recorded match.I've seen several other publications claim 1874.

But can you Manage? Take yer Bat n Ball with you...door over there.

Totally agree Parsons about your point on the Beauty of History evolving but here's the rub,incorrect info can suddenly become gospel,Chinese Whispers and nothing more. I am lucky enough to own a very rare copy of the Clubs official 'Grand Bizaare' Book dated 1895.This excerpt may be of interest to you,also note the year of our formation( I posted a thread about this a few years ago)...

Mike Jackman,Blackburn Rovers : The complete Record published 2009.. " The choice of club colours also had its roots in the public School background which so many of its members shared. Both of the Hargreaves brothers and Doc Greenwood were old Malvernians,and it was decided to copy their quartered shirt design,but to replace the traditional green with Cambridge blue." There is no reference in any of Mikes fantastic Books to this fictitious White Jersey. Total Hearsay and nothing more imo.

Gav...if Wednesday fans can do it why cant we? This waiting around for them to leave bollox will probably see most of us on here in our Graves ffs!

Boycott called off...watch them go from strength to strength while we fall through the floor.

Make no mistake,he'll be on holiday somwhere like the South of France laughing his bollox off as the coin rolls in. Great if you can get the gig eh.

No "Phoenix Club" for me personally NO NAY NEVER!..there will only ever be one ROVERS CLUB in this Town. Being brutally honest what hurt's me the most is our inability to come together as a united Fanbase and fight the B'stards ruining our Town's Ancient and Storied Club. Massive frustration.

The school was built on the site of were the pitch would have been after Rovers left for Ewood...pretty sure of that

Wow...just wow. If this is the jangled thought process of some of our fans then we are truly finished.

Sickening,the man may even be on full pay!

Parsons, surely info from the Clubs earliest Books/ Historical references should be used here: Its Blue and White Quatered Shirts.

What a shame there are no known match photographs of Rovers playing there.You would have also thought the England v Scotland game at the venue would have attracted the national media of the peroid. http://englandfootballonline.com/TeamStadia/England/EngLeamington.html http://englandfootballonline.com/Seas1872-00/1886-87/M0031Sco1887.html#Team
