It would help if they got match details out there. I hadn't realised Rovers had a match last night until I came on here on Monday. If you're not engaged enough to be looking at the fixtures then they need to be much more proactive with information. It was the same with STs I think. I know a number of people said that friends and relatives who aren't on social media weren't aware when they went on sale

Well its not pointless at all as we need rectify the problems of the lack of proper and organised transfer planning during the last transfer window for future windows
The club needs to rectify it. We can discuss it till kingdom come but there's nothing WE can do

Chaddy the first thing about the transfer isn’t the money, length of contract or signing on fee it’s the particular clubs own ambition, what are the hopes and how does that player fit in to those plans. That is the managers job, to sell it. The rest is down to the legal sand agents.
Can you have illegal sand?

Most clubs have soundbites at least on official Twitter feeds. You get little bits of club news, bits from interviews, pics of training

So what if it was?
Was just an observation. I'm not suggesting or implying anything. Just stating a fact, or what I believe to be a fact.

The point is surely that because of our poor defending we have to score at least 2 goals to stand a chance of winning. Mowbray has failed to replace Armstrongs goals. Therefore where are those 2 goals per game going to come from? And sometimes, of course, because our defence can be even more fragile, we'd need more than 2 goals per game. I just don't see how that gives us a better chance than we had last year of finishing above half way or anywhere close to it.

They don’t usually.
‘ST holder in the BEnd Upper? Tough, it’s closed’
’ST holder in the DEnd? Tough, it’s closed’.
That's precisely why they need to be careful. We had 4 tickets in BBE Upper. We now have none anywhere

Replying to chaddy No, they can't afford to alienate any more st holders than they have already

Shame that we’ve learnt this lad isn’t from a NW club. Got excited about Anthony Elanga possibilities (because what a player he is!).
Not got a clue who Waggott is on about though. Would be a bit annoying if it’s the Brighton one just being described as a #10
Could have flown down from Scotland. Doesn't have to have flown up from the South coast

Sounds likely then😄

All speculation on your part, Chaddy. We know Mowbray said a few days ago he hadn't spoken to Obafemi but that's all. We don't know how much is going on with agents, family, current club. Sometimes deals get done quickly but moving from Southampton to Blackburn is a long way physically and dropping a league so having to readjust your career expectations. Now it might work out like Armstrong, but you might be giving up your Premier league chances for ever so you have to think long and hard. I dont know if you've ever moved area of the country but it is a challenge. All sorts of differences you know nothing about beforehand but show up when you've moved. If the lad's only 20, he's got mates locally. Will he find real mates apart from his team mates here? We just don't know what he's having to think about. Rather he took his time a bit and came fully committed than have him rush into something and get homesick, miserable and not find form.

It is, as has been said, incredibly brave to come on here and admit to the problems you have been having. I'm sure we all wish you well and are delighted that you've reached a point where you can admit to yourself and to others that you need help and support because that's the first step to recovery and managing the ongoing situation. It won't be easy but there are plenty of people here prepared to listen if you need it. Best wishes and let's hope Rovers can continue to give us the performances and results we crave. Best thing to give a quick lift is a good result for your team!

Probably a good job or there'd be no point signing him

So we let Boro buy him then loan him in. All criteria satisfied.

Hate to break it to you, guys, but I've been signed up as mascot. Middlesbrough connection and useless.

The issue is, for a lot of people, if they can only get two a few matches because of work commitments, childcare, transport or whatever, it makes no sense to buy a season ticket. However they want to attend the matches they can get to. Off putting then to be asked for £32. For me £30 is a barrier. Not because I can't afford more but because it just seems too much. I dont want things on the cheap but I do want them within my reasonable range

No. The rules are much more complex than this. It’s a points based system based on league, league appearances, cup appearances, continental cup appearances and then international minutes. You need 15 points to get a GBE work permit.
Some players get their work permit based off their league minutes alone. Some play in random leagues that offer little points but they play for the best team in that country who won the title, won the cup and featured in the Europa League, thus get the points
Brentford signed Wissa from Lorient this week. He was on their bench last n8ght

No. I thought it was over the top. Celebrate, yes, but there's a long season still to go. And it'll be all over our Facebook because we have Brentford supporting relatives

They celebrated like they'd won the league! It's one game. They may keep doing it but who knows?

That would definitely push it into grounds for divorce!
When you've spent years cooking for a husband and 4 kids after a day at work you might understand my attitude! Only time they ever dared complain, I packed my bags, got in the car and drove half way to my mum and dad's house on Teesside before I thought better of it. When I got back the kids had cleared up, cleaned up and got ready for bed. They never complained again.

We had hot dogs for tea tonight, and Mrs E cut down through the buns from the top instead of side-to-side across.
Is it grounds for divorce?
My answer would be, if you don't like how I've done it, do it yourself next time

Attendances: A cause for concern
in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard

I know little about the Issa brothers but you do NOT have to be a fan of a club to own and run it well. You have to have business sense coupled with an understanding of the demographics of the town and surrounding areas, a willingness to engage with fans and those who have the best interests of the area at heart, and a desire to learn fast to get the best you can. A successful football club brings benefits to the town. Shops round Ewood pick up trade. The whole wider area benefits. I remember moaning about Newcastle fans taking over Clitheroe when we played them, but it brought trade to the town when they came here for pre match drinks.
Owners who are fans is a nice idea but let's get good owners first then let them fall in love.
