I didn't say anything whatsoever about him being a good footballer. -

That's a completely unfair and inaccurate accusation. Gallagher does lack bravery at times, amongst other things, but he rarely lacks effort (and when he does it's usually because he clearly isn't fully fit). He has ran his bollocks off plenty of times. -
He has played for them before hasn't he? Or am I thinking of someone else?

I have no idea what that post was trying to say, but I suspect you've completely misunderstood the conversation, and pointlessly and ineffectively tried to insult Darwen. -

Well no, it will be because of all of them. And Brereton, Kaminski, etc. Lord knows why you would credit Dack, who has only just come back and missed a penalty plus a sitter last game, or Johnson, who just isn't very good, before you'll credit Dolan, Khadra or Rothwell. -

Wow, he looks considerably more depressed in that interview after a 3-1 comeback win than he did in his interview after the 0-7 drubbing. Astonishing. I think either the talk of him getting both barrels in the dressing room is right (supported IMO by the way he retreated to his bench second half) or the pressure is really telling, and maybe other home life issues too. If that's the case, I'm no fan of his management decisions, but I wish him well. -

You know it's been a good day when you see someone saying 'Gallagher mom' and what they're saying isn't 'Gallagher's mom is probably a better player'. -

Too defensive. Buckley has been poor in front of goal but he can still be more useful in CM, kept away from goal, than Johnson in that role. Rothwell as a false 9, even though his main attribute is carrying the ball over distance...well...we will see I guess, but I'm not sold on the idea as of right now. -

Was he downbeat? -
Afraid I've got bad news...it's actually 1 goal in 9 games.

He is also the reason we won't make the playoffs, which can be seen as nothing but an abject failure from the position we were in. If you think differently, I'm happy to have a wager with you. A tenner to the winner's charity of choice. I'm betting we won't get in the playoffs if you're willing to bet we will. If you don't think we will, from the lead we had at the start of the year, surely you must think that's unacceptable? The club don't owe Mowbray, they owe the fans, and what they owe is getting us back to where we were before they relegated and humiliated us for a decade.

From Mowbray, about Buckley: “Everyone had the option of doing five minutes training (on Thursday) and then coming in to rest, relax and get ready for the next match, but he was out there for over an hour, practicing finishing and he wasn’t told to do that." Wait what? What do you mean they had the option of doing five minutes of training then resting?!? What the fuck does that achieve? And of course he wants to practice finishing, he's been abysmal at it lately.

Problem is I don't see those three as options either. Khadra missed one recently, Gally couldn't finish a Freddo right now and Rothwell barely looks arsed most of the time and is far from a goal machine. Once someone has already missed, anyone else sounds like a better option. Dack wasn't ready, but I'd say the other three were probably just as likely to miss it, and like I said you can 100% guarantee if they had, everyone would have asked why it wasn't Dack. We're in a really sorry situation right now, and I bet it takes a few games for Dack to believe in himself again now. -

You could legislate it actually, by toning down your persistent lofty predictions to account for the crap manager. -

bluebruce replied to roversfan99's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Agree I had serious concerns about it and said out loud he was going to miss. I posted about it earlier too. But like I said then, the problem is who else could be trusted? Gallagher has the composure of jelly, and Rothwell doesn't do the simple things well, at times hitting the ball like a right pansy. If either of them had taken it and missed, everyone pretty much to a man would have been outraged Dack wasn't given it. -

Am I remembering rightly that the commentators said Bristol hadn't kept a clean sheet away from home all season? -

Plus keeper off his line, but both those things happen virtually every penalty. -

We can't recall anyone outside of a transfer window. The ones we sent out aren't ready yet either (if ever in the case of McBride). Be better using Vale even if recalls were an option. Agree with the first paragraph though. -

The last two games were winnable. Now our talisman who we have been eagerly waiting the return of has fluffed his lines and cost us the game, which will be very demoralising. Make no bones, this is a major body blow. Nothing short of a response like the one after the Fulham thrashing is going to turn this season back around now. -

Wow, didn't realise he had gone there. Would have had him over Mowbray... -

bluebruce replied to roversfan99's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
I'm sure my love of the club will overpower this, but right now I don't want to watch another game this season. Absolutely sick to the fucking back teeth of this. I have more important things to worry about at the moment than football coming along to ruin every weekend. Mowbray out. -

bluebruce replied to roversfan99's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
It isn't. A penalty is a free shot at goal with the ball not moving and no defenders to beat. On the miss just outside the six yard, the ball was moving at pace and a defender slid across the easiest part of the potential shot. Adjustment was needed. It was still poor but fucking up a penalty is much worse. -

It isn't. It certainly isn't the Dack of old though just yet. -

I was worried about Dack for that penalty. First game back, team struggling to score, game decider, his 50th club goal if it went in...too much pressure for a lad who has only just come back. Thing is, who the fuck else out there could you trust to take it anyway? Had to be Dack, and yet I felt it wasn't gonna happen. We need to stop diving to try get another.
