Two weeks till the season. No owners, 5 outfield players and they are on strike, no pay for 5 months, no changing rooms or hot water at the training ground, no season tickets on sale, no kit, at least minus 12 points.

You said we weren’t far away, I presume that means from the top 6? So an improved side ergo has us challenging, no? No extremes with me as we’ll be mid table again, it’s you that sounds like he needs to cool your jets. Where is the improved ‘game management’ coming from defensively, by the way? Just this keeper who we don’t even know? Or a young lad who’s hardly played centre half?

14 points with a crap goal difference, and yes it is when there were 10 other clubs in the way. I presumed as you thought we ‘werent far away’ said players being a ‘step up’ would push us to the top 6..

Not too far away? We finished 15th. Largely because we couldn’t defend. If a new keeper and a young lad that’s hardly played centre half is going to make all the difference in your view, then fair enough, though I doubt it was how TM was visualising it in May.

If ‘defenders are coming’ turns into one young loanee then that’s a big choice the club has chosen to make. Raya was the main culprit of our appalling defence must be their thinking. Well on their head be it.

Some people obviously do like it, social media says as much. But some people DO buy anything with a Rovers badge on it, I’ve spent years on a coach to aways with a load of such fans, great fans they are too, but taste doesn’t come into it... I bet you can work out the group in question, by the way. Oh and Swansea was last game of the season, when the shirts had been reduced to £15... so go figure.

I think 45+ years is a decent amount of time to be a tradition, but it’s not every season anyway, so fair enough to me.

So no beef. A staple (though not every season) since the 70s.

As I’ve said, not every season, but it obviously has been part of the shirt standard palette for decades, I.e since the 70s.

Eh? Did I say nobody actually likes it? I was actually talking about kits generally and about last season’s very plain shirt, If you do like this season’s effort, good for you, all money for the club. I’m assuming you don’t as you were hoping it was fake yesterday. However, In MY OPINION (you know that everyone is free to have on here, glad to see someone is known for banging that particular drum after a summer of posters telling people what they can and can’t post), plenty of fans will buy anything with a Rovers badge on it, not sure why that’s controversial, I and I bet you know a fair few of such folk.

Well obviously not every kit, last season didn’t either. But it’s a staple of a Rovers home shirt.

A red trim has been part of the Rovers home shirt for decades.

I thought last season’s yellow was plain and cheap looking, like something a team up Pleasy would wear, yet looking round Ewood against Swansea I could see loads of folk with it on. As long as there is a Rovers badge on it, a sizeable number of fans are simply ‘take my money!’

To be fair they could have launched a bin bag with arm holes and it would’ve been 50/50 on that group.

Careful now... kick one Darrener and they all limp

City pay thousands a week to scholars, so that means little.

Olympic were ‘working class’ Rovers were founded by public schoolboys.

You know what can’t even be arsed. Obviously a very touchy individual.

Plenty, you?

Well I never!

Not been launched officially yet. Obviously someone cannily had a search round the online store.

Oh they’ll be plenty on facebook groups saying they do.
