‘ Everyone hates the way we play, because we dare to pass the football’. One of these lower league managers with a superiority complex because he has his team passing the ball for passing its sake even when he doesn’t have the players to pull it off. The rest of the league certainly won’t ‘hate’ picking them off and taking three points…

Of course we are ‘average’ in the grand scheme of things. By that benchmark Celtic are an average side, Ajax are an average side, Porto are an average side because they all play in average leagues. Doesn’t necessarily mean we will be an average side this season in comparison to others in the division we actually operate in.

PL carry over. Happens everywhere (apart from here in 2012, obviously!) A season of draws against the likes of Luton and that support will soon fall away…

We had more walk ons on the first day than any of the other local clubs. Certainly looks like last season’s noticeable increase in match day buyers has carried over to this term, which is encouraging. So such a shame STs were priced like they were, as we could have been looking at some real bumper crowds.

Started the season with two wins from two for the first time since 1997…

To be fair to Mogga, he did like to pull out the full ‘Blackburn Rovers’ on occasion. Which was nice.

Just listening to Radio 5, some statto is on. ’Nick Pope is excellent with pre-shot expected goals’. He would be, you’d hope, considering there’s been no shot.

We need to wait until the season settles down. The first home game of the season always has inflated walk ons. Though I’d be surprised if PNE only have 13,000 home fans on for their first home game considering they’ve sold 12k STs alone.

Only in the summer?

Who’s he nicked ‘blimey’ off? 😀

You’re right, 0 wins in five attempts. https://www.11v11.com/teams/blackburn-rovers/tab/opposingTeams/opposition/Swansea City/

Forget about all that, he’s a great craic.

We did seem to be dwindling in numbers, but there’s been a bit of fresh blood in recent months, which is what we need, as we can only have the same old arguments with the same old people so many times before we all lose our minds. 😀

Get over what?

And others can’t debate and try to shut it down with childlike posts like ‘just support the lads’, ‘stop being negative’, like someone ‘slagging’ a player on a thread on this obscure place is akin to booing them on the Blackburn End. Does Big Bar get a kick out of that? Can’t say I’ve noticed it before. But if posters do engage in that, they should be banned as trolls, no?

*Sigh* I am justifying people being entitled to their opinion, however ridiculous others may deem said opinion to be. Posters should then feel free to rip it to shreds by outlining how they are wrong. Not trying to shut debate down by simply posting banal ‘just back ‘em ffs’, ‘sooo negative’ stuff.

I thought Buckley was massively improved on the season before up to January, but like the rest of them looked lost as the pound shop Tinkerman got up to his usual antics…

‘Negative’ police again. This place is getting very daft with all this. For the millionth time, people can have whatever opinion they want on an obscure internet message board… they can ‘back’ them, ‘slag’ them or just think they are ok, it makes not one iota of difference to if a dozen posters on brfcs.com ‘get behind ‘em FFS’ or not. You debate and explain why ‘player x is actually great’ (just like Mani is doing), don’t try and just shut debate down with more ‘negative’ barbs.

There has been a rot at United for a decade… here’s to another!

Define ‘regular?’

Considering the crowd figure is usually given as ‘one man and his dog’, I presume so.

This ‘horse’ thing you lot have suddenly started coming out with (obviously annoyed that the Dingle nickname has stuck so long). Not sure any Rovers fans even know about it, so poor comms from you lot. I only worked out you lot meant Rovers fans a few posts deep on your forum. Any explanations to where such a lame epithet has come from?

Know what you mean Chadster, get Broughton in as the false 9 for the Hartlepool game, see how he goes.

Yet most clubs in the league have either reduced or held ST prices. So thus far this season it looks as if they are trying to plug gaps with fairly steep looking price hikes for the match day ticket buyer…

Talking to actual Scousers. How quaint! For most of us it will be that ‘lifelong Liverpool fan’ in the east Lancs pub, street, office that will regale us with all his deep knowledge from watching those two CL games he played in on BT Sport!
