If anyone knows of any bookies who are willing to offer 100/1 for us to just avoid defeat, if you could send me an IM. -

Ipswich would beat us 99 times out of a hundred at Ewood? Get out of it. -
Venky’s, HMRC…The Plot Thickens ?
Mattyblue replied to tomphil's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
End of the day if you’ve had enough, don’t go. It’s your money, your time, your stress levels, your morals. But even if we ended up at Oyston level crowds, this lot still wouldn’t give a flying fuck. -

Mattyblue replied to Riverside under the drip's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
As always a load of pissing about. Just make either Cov or Sheff Wed a tenner and get a big crowd in for what could be an absolute pivotal game for this football club (well, we will see it as pivotal, not sure ‘the club’ is arsed either way). -

Of course some games are easier. It’s not a handicap system. -

I certainly wouldn’t have expected JDT to have won many of these ‘easier games’, we all know that the wheels had come off for him. However, the ‘new manager bounce’ is also often a factor too. Especially in such an evenly matched league and a fair few winnable games to go at. End of the day he’s won zero of them. -
Broughton does get cut a bit of slack on here, but name me a single person that gives Swag a ‘free ride?’

If we’d have been 2-0 down against Stoke he’d have been nowhere to be seen on the touch line… oh and even if he had the Chadster certainly wouldn’t have been saying that was his defeat. -
v Middlesbrough (a) - 16/3/24

Unfortunately Venky’s do matter as they own the club, our enormous decline over 13 years shows just how much they matter. -

Misses the run in due to an injury in a pointless friendly in late March sounds about right. -
Football Media Landscape
Mattyblue replied to riverholmes's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Our crowds have totally missed the boom that has occurred across England this past decade (highest league crowds since the 1950s) - for obvious reasons. However, as always, the authorities will kill the golden goose. We’ve seen it already with the collapse in midweek away followings (and crowds generally though masked as ST holders still get counted in figures) since the red button, and next season will see *five* live Championship games every weekend, including *every* opening game, last game and bank holidays. The high watermark for EFL football has probably now been hit… we were just ahead of the curve, nice one Venky’s! -

I would love to buy you a pint if that happens, make it a keg. -

I’ll make a prediction… Venky’s will own us in a year. -
English is the world lingua franca, I doubt Americans, Australians, New Zealanders are much better. If the USA spoke French, so films, music, popular culture, people working in bars, restaurants abroad all spoke French too, I’d wager French would be much wider spoken by Brits.

No demand for housing in the Ribble Valley?! I think any resident of Whalley, Langho, Clitheroe will certainly disagree with that notion, indeed just drive into those areas to see the vast amounts of housing springing up… -

Mattyblue replied to tomphil's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Cause and effect seem to totally elude these people. ’We can’t compete at this level, and that’s nothing to do with Venky’s’ ’We have crap gates and that’s nothing to do with Venky’s’ ’We are skint and that’s nothing to do with Venky’s’. ’We are a small club and…’ … think you see where I’m going with this. -

I wear blue and white specs, that’s why I only want the best for the club. These other people parroting whatever latest guff comes out of Swag, blindly accepting the decline of this club under these owners are actually wearing claret and blue specs from where I’m standing. -

Mattyblue replied to tomphil's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
As I’ve said previously we’ve somehow ended up with the most unbelievable bad luck, a unique situation from what I can see. We have owners that have absolutely no ambition for the club apart from keeping it out of administration, but also refuse to even entertain selling it to someone who does have ambition for it. We’re fucked.- 3109 replies

Mattyblue replied to tomphil's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Well, I was the first to flag it on here, but it came from an eagle-eyed Facebook pal who had spotted it on the Ribble Valley Council planning page... how odd that the club didn't want to shout from the rooftops, considering it was such an 'exciting development'* as per Swag's rumbled interview to the in house media team. (* Exciting development being to bulldoze half of Brockhall to put houses on it) -

He doesn’t *know* but I’d guess he just can’t see this lot ever fucking off - neither can I. -

Mattyblue replied to chaddyrovers's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
This club doesn't prioritise results, surely the only pro outfit at any level to preach such a non-competitive mantra - and it shows. Think of Bowyer, think of Mowbray, now this guy. It's all an 'ah well' shrug of the shoulders and on to the next one. A development Academy that happens to have one of it's sides playing in a senior league. -

If you have higher standards for Blackburn Rovers than this farce you are ‘living in 1995’? 🙄 Away with your LT comments-esque shite on here. -

Mattyblue replied to chaddyrovers's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Does it matter if folk on here don’t ’give him a chance’? If that’s their opinion, that’s their opinion. He’s had a comfortable ride from the actual crowd thus far, which is fair enough. -
Is he buggery. My initial view is he’s your standard lower league journeyman manager, happy to have a job so will come out with the standard manager cliched claptrap. Maybe he’s another Coyle or Appleton, we’ll see. But some of you have very short memories if you are comparing him to an individual that played a central role in completely ruining this football club.
