The Ryan Nyambe Appreciation Thread
Mattyblue replied to blueboy3333's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Hmm, not sure about that. He’s missed a few fair spells out injured since becoming a regular. Indeed, the LT actually did a piece on it earlier this year... https://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/sport/18155315.mowbray-offers-explanation-nyambes-recurring-injuries/ -

He’s getting himself tied up in knots again... a bit like when SG wasn’t a wide forward... until he was. -

Well you posted a fans opinion from a forum I’ll discount his view then. So you know the thoughts of Norwich’s big fanbase how, exactly? -

But I thought you said their fans were happy with the owners and their decision making? Plenty aren’t, obviously, as the replies show... -

They haven’t, see my link above your post. A load of them want the lot cleared out. Though I defer to Chaddy who I believe met a Canary down Great Yarmouth last year... -

They are delighted, they’re organising a (socially distanced) open top bus ride through the non pedestrianised parts of Norwich as we speak... https://forum.pinkun.com/index.php?/topic/138551-why-do-people-hate-delia-so-much/#comments -

Eh? He misses about a third of games every season. -

Mates with Norwich fans, are you? -
Championship season 2019-20
Mattyblue replied to arbitro's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Very simple. Norwich were happy to go down and take the dosh, and as they’ve not overextended, they’ll be back up the top end of the Championship next season. Fair enough, business wise a fairly sensible decision. And this approach seems to be working for Burnley. But it’s all a bit sad. Kind of negates the romance of football, the joy of promotion, pitting yourself against the best . But that’s modern football. -
Championship season 2019-20
Mattyblue replied to arbitro's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Would be a new ground for most, as I’m pretty sure we’ve never played them in a competitive game? But of course, even if supporters do get back in stadiums, will away fans be allowed in grounds next season? -
The Riverside Stand Renovation Thread
Mattyblue replied to a topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
You can tell his low the ‘real’ crowd is for some midweek games these days. I can leave after the whistle, saunter up Livesey Branch to my car and then not see a bit of traffic... -
Excellent to hear Tone, good to know we will be strengthening the back line instead of the usual summer conveyor belt of incoming midfielders...

Championship season 2019-20
Mattyblue replied to arbitro's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Just saw a tweet that says with 3 games to go, no club is mathematically guaranteed to be in the Championship next season. Without doubt the best competition in the country.- 3187 replies

They often aren’t given as reds, but it was still a petulant challenge from a player that, for me, has a lot of growing up to do.

BRFC - The Nostalgia Thread

And Gillespie, Flitcroft, Berkovic, Short, Hignett, Bjornebye, McAteer, Damien Johnson. Some squad that for the second tier, and no wonder the core of it won cups and qualified for Europe in future seasons. -
Oh much bigger than mere grammar and punctuation, who missed the sitter again?

Two mistakes in a tiny match report. In the esteemed Sunday Times, no less.Remarkable. Can you spot them?

Championship season 2019-20
Mattyblue replied to arbitro's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
A win yesterday and we’d have been right in there. Midweek. We play Millwall, Derby play Cardiff, PNE go to Brentford, Swansea go to Forest. Alas, most likely we’l be watching the playoffs with noses against the window... -
Can we have a filter that prevents posts saying ‘people on here want Rovers to lose’? Complete lazy nonsense from folk who can’t debate, ‘err well you love us losing’ , it’s playground stuff that always just derails threads. Oh and as for a ‘dying’ site. Poor stuff S8, the likes of Herbie have worked hard transforming this place with the podcasts, player archives, nostalgia threads. Perhaps you missed it on one of your regular hiatuses (yet you keep coming back, so not all bad, obviously)...

No real surprise then that we’ve largely bumped along at this level for nearly a decade...

Have we ever spent more than a few hundred thousand on a defender or keeper under this regime? Our first choice defensive unit this season was: Walton/Nyambe/Cunningham/Lenihan/Toisin. Not a single transfer fee. That goes up to £300k with Bell in for Cunningham. Quite startling when we splurge £12 million on two very raw forwards.

They will, but with a state of the art training ground, a Cat 1 Academy and are generally a well run football club that doesn’t take risks, so primed not to fall away too far. So what? You might say, many clubs like that, but just remember they were a club in serious strife with a complete ramshackle structure when they stumbled across Dyche. And it was a lucky choice as he’d not particularly pulled up any trees elsewhere.

As you say highly unlikely, but Cardiff lose at Fulham tonight and it least sets it up a bit...

Ground tours need to make a diversion to Birdy’s house, has to be seen to be believed that place (sure he’d take his cut too ).
