v WBA (a) - 9/8/2025 - The Big Kick-Off!
bluebruce replied to Herbie6590's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
God I hope we let him go when his contract is up (or sell him before, 10 quid will do). But I can't help but think we won't want to miss the chance of extending a contract for a player who isn't in demand elsewhere, just to show we can extend senior contracts sometimes. He is gash. -

The Ribeiro free kick after the red? Because that was a terrible spot to shoot from unless you're a free kick specialist. We don't have any of those. The cross was the right call. -

Fair enough. I've no idea why you read it as that. -

Not many teams tend to look good in the first game of the season. Full match sharpness is rarely there yet. I don't think we have been worse (caveat - I did miss the first 30 minutes). Looks like an even game, we just haven't had penetration. Neither have WBA really, they've mostly just launched it from distance while I've been watching. Their goal should have been disallowed (I do get how the ref missed it though) and we should have had a penalty, so could have been 1 nil to us at half time. The Championship referee lottery will continue this year. -

Just seen why Mcloughlin didn't score in 6 years for Hull. -

Seeing a replay of their goal, is Alebiosu not getting dragged all over the place when trying to clear? Looks like it shouldn't have stood to me. -

'Teasing low ball' our commentator called it. Nah mate it was just shite. -

Seems daft to be discussing Cantwell leaving at such length when there aren't even any rumours about bidders or him wanting out. -

Under normal owners that would be lovely. Under this lot it's taking the piss. -

As has repeatedly been pointed out though, Gestede has said outgoing sales make no impact on the budget. Whilst I find that hard to believe (surely it at least affects next year's budget), it does mean there's little reason being happy or even content with any sales of decent players. By the same token as 'we've never made the playoffs with him', we've also been on the verge in 3 of the last 4 seasons where he has been playing. The one he played the least games in, where we loaned him out to Ipswich for half the season after sidelining him here, we nearly got relegated. -

Venkyโs v Indian Government (a)
bluebruce replied to tomphil's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
The 25k every time the case goes to court even if it isn't seen thing can't be real. That's an insane amount of money in India, the figure must be in rupees. If it is real, in pounds, and not just a reflection of the lawyer fees, no wonder the courts put way more cases on their docket than they can possibly see. -

Only highlights clip I could find of him, it's from years ago from his time in Japan and Belgium, but perhaps gives a flavour. Apologies if already posted. -

Personally I'm sick of it and think they should force clubs to reveal the terms of deals. The fans deserve to know if money is being spent wisely. -

I'm expecting him to be better defensively, just as good or slightly better at covering ground, and less effective than him at the final ball. We will see. -

Has anybody said that? I've seen people say we have downgraded from Brittain, but nobody who has actually said he's shite. -

We are waiting for Ronaldinho to sign on a pay as you play first, but Beckham has signed. Possibly, anyway, he has been photographed in a Rovers shirt but nobody is sure if we pressed send. Don't worry though, we have a 1 billion quid warchest waiting for us if we can just get approval from the court toda- ah they've adjourned. Something fucking like that anyway. -

You can pipe up in proceedings? Now that seems like something we could exploit...50 fans all coordinated sort of thing, that would have to garner some attention. -

I'll be disappointed if we do. Vile song, that frog was annoying as hell! Plus the original song is great and would serve the same purpose. -

https://arsenalnews.co.uk/2025/08/05/arsenal-have-had-second-bid-rejected-for-blackburn-rovers-striker-igor-tyjon/ Dunno if already mentioned, but Arsenal still sniffing around Tyjon, second bid rebuffed. I'd imagine they've had encouragement from Tyjon's side to still be trying. -

I think he was just joking that Amaruso was in the same category
