That Beetlejuice in the LT comments said Williams received a load of abuse when he came on? Did anyone else hear that?

Pissed or hung over? Good job we only sign ‘proper humans’.

I spotted on Facebook that some had freebies in the JW upper. Was the BBEND upper actually full?

As tomphil says, takes a lot to move the Rovers support - unless you’re Coyle. I can still remember getting into rows about Kean on the Blackburn End, in his SECOND season. He had much more support for much longer than many like to remember.

Have you heard anyone at Ewood or anyone you know in ‘real life’ that is an attendee saying he should be replaced? I haven’t. And not just that, he rarely seems to even get criticised directly, ‘it is player x’s fault’, ‘player y isn’t good enough’ etc. The total opposite of Coyle and later Bowyer eras.

Some are like that, of course. But I can’t remember a manager that gets such unequivocal support by so many as this fella.

Not saying it wasn’t time for him to go, it was. More comparing how TM avoids any criticism with the majority of Ewood.

Bowyer was at the end of the road. However, he’d been left with a poor squad and spent nowt in the last 12 months. Yet, the fans wanted him gone. This fella has spent £10 million this season, has us in the same position as GB, but because we got out of a tinpot league he gets a free pass from the support.

So Dack turned up and was sent home for not ‘being in the right frame of mind’, I believe.

Thought I’d test the mood music around me today. Nobody had even contemplated his removal. Even when I pushed them by saying ‘well what if we get go say October and we are in the bottom 3?’ Even then there was only a begrudging acceptance that he should be even under threat. Bombproof with the majority of Ewood I would wager.

Wolves last season?

He’s living right in the centre of Manchester now by the looks of it, Beetham Tower, I think. What could possibly go wrong?

Also, does anyone know of any schools outside BwD borough they have been involved?

Reaction to a Mowbray interview... brfcs - ‘more Kean-esque nonsense.’ ‘Bloke’s lost the plot’. LT comments - ‘Wise words as always from Tony’.

Oh aye, crackers they turned a 1,000 folk down.

2500 tickets issued, but will 2500 turn up?

I always find you can get really good prices to Birmingham and sometimes London if you’re quick. But anywhere off the main line and the prices can be ridiculous.

On about loyalty again in the LT. This over sentimentality will get him the sack. Football is a ruthless business, his only loyalty should be to himself and his only aim to improve the team. Rewarding sub standard players with new contracts and automatic starts for finishing runners up in the third division is no way to progress the club.

Night nearly over? It’ll be about twenty past nine. You a young fogie or what?

Was always going to be moved. I know Ewood Blues were worried as it’s their annual weekend trip. If they’d have moved it to something daft like a Thursday or Monday night they’d have been knackered.

‘Hindsight is 20/20’ I.e. I slagged off all you lot for not ‘trusting Tony’ , turns out I was wrong, you were right.

What’s craic with women’s football and attendances in his country? It is now getting a lot of publicity, often equal mention with the men on many news bulletins - 5 Live as an example. Then I noticed Liverpool v Arsenal in the Super League had a gate of 500 the other week. I imagine the powers that be are concerned that yes, odd games can bring in big crowds, those initiatives with free tickets in Spain and Italy, growing sponsorship etc, but our pro top league just doesn’t seem to be growing with paying customers.

Proper away end, right through someone’s back guarden to get to the turnstiles.

He’s not the finished article by any means. But we are safe, so give the lad a run of starts. Play him instead of Dack if it helps this mythical ‘defensive work’ that most of the actual defenders don’t even seem to possess.

TM on Rothwell. https://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/sport/football/rovers/news/17542185.tony-mowbray-on-why-joe-rothwell-isnt-starting-for-rovers/ Also known as I’ve backed myself into a corner with this lad even though it is blinding obvious he should be starting.
