Emperor’s new clothes, the last fad was how having a load of possession was a sign of what a great side you were…

The XG-isation of football fans these past few years is such a strange phenomenon. So many have lost their ability to use their eyes to judge footballers and teams. We are *bottom* of the XG league as we eye up an outside chance of automatic promotion… say no more.

You will often get a minimal allocation that you can return, but additional you need to pay for up front. Prime example being JW taking the smaller one for Celtic as he didn’t want to risk not selling out the larger one (and thousands ergo missed out).

All forums are obscure (ask most Rovers fans about this place and see what reaction you get!), but it is their main one…

Very optimistic fans considering they’ve been shite all season apart from giving a hiding to a TM side in the midst of a death cycle… https://oatcakefanzine.proboards.com/thread/307913/stoke-city-blackburn-rovers

So? If the club thought it was a fair price it was a fair price, especially if the player’s head had turned (which it had). *And would there buggery have been ‘demonstrations at Ewood’ 😁

Hmm, a load of Championship cloggers in your side instead of Xavi, Iniesta et al might be a bit of an issue then. Pound Shop Peps all over the place these days…

Loads of PL wins from Scots though, ay @roverandout 😁

Birdy will be putting one on from the Fox & Hounds. I imagine some of the Darwen boozers will be too?

Cracking David Brent corporate away day vibes

Yes, Martin Tyler is on comms (memories thread) saying how Oldham have one of those new fangled under soil heating jobs… don’t want to get that going under plastic 😁

Does it matter if the ‘club would’ve been slated’ by nobodies on social media? In this instance the club themselves obviously thought he was on the way out, so no surprise his contract has started to run down. But generally if the club wants to protect its assets, it should do it, the opinions of roverboi1995 is neither here nor there. Like we did with SG last season (the club did get slated online, but so what) and what we should have done with BB in 2021.

Watford have had as many managers since 2012 (18) as West Ham have had in their entire history…

Yes think it was, the Ray Stubbs narrated 93/94 review VHS is coming back to me…

We did, Tugay scored a cracker. Also a game in the 90s, we played in red and black stripes at Ewood for some reason…

Extended interview (via the EFL podcast) with JDT…

As they only had one season in the PL, I believe they only get two seasons of parachute payments.

‘Value’ is obviously in the eye of the beholder. However, the fact we only have 9,000 ST holders, one of the lowest in the division says that the majority of the fanbase don’t see them as value.

The ‘new’ Riverside is only three years older than the Darwen End… shows how quickly Blackburn Rovers transformed.

I was talking about that one. But on the other games, that’s football, especially with a new manager and a young team.

I think there’s a good chance. A load of ST holders won’t bother… but I suppose it depends on how many of them pass their numbers on to non ST holders.

Yeah, but surely we need to know first if the Dolan postcards are back in stock?

The strange phenomenon of Sky having a Friday night Championship game on every week, but *never* being us is finally broken (even more strange considering we seem to be on Sky every other week each season). Still haven’t had one at Ewood for 9 years though…

‘Lies, damn lies and… ‘

Surely we’ve got to move on. He made mistakes on the day, we got well beaten. It was an awful day, but it was four months ago and we’ve bounced back strongly. All this about it being ‘unforgivable’, of course it’s forgivable, he has us in with a chance of completely transforming this football club after just months in post. We are getting as bad as them for obsessing about that one fixture.
