Glad I bought 5 last night, I wasn’t aware of this ludicrous decision. I remember when this kind of thing was all we had to moan about, how times change….. VENKYS OUT - NOTHING ELSE MATTERS

I’m told this is the official programme of last Football League match played on Christmas Day in England (1965) @Tyrone Shoelaces Over to you pal 👍

The players being on the piss is criminal for me, as more and more stories come out about the the 6 day piss up when fans have paid thousands to travel. I'd fine them the players fees for the remaining tests as a minimum, astounding they they think thats acceptable. English cricket was in a very good place before we left for Oz, the numbers don't tell lies, make changes now and its back to 2 wins in 17 tests, stick with the current regime for me, let me own this Ashes series and make adjustments to suite.

Give over Mashed 🤣

Rohl has steadied the ship thats for sure, they've been ok in the league since he arrived, but they are lacking in real quality across the squad, its going to take a big rebuild to bring them back to title contenders.

Well beaten Rangers today 👍

‘We’ need a projector, aimed at the main entrance to JW stand with: VENKYS OUT PASHA OUT WE WANT OUR CLUB BACK Delivered from the anywhere off club property, every game as people arrive at the club. Not a thing the club can do. A bit extreme, but you get the picture.

Any truth on the ‘Pasha Out’ banner being banned from games moving forward? Some rumours it’s been banned with season ticket removal threatened? (Is that really a threat 🤣)

I think I heard recently that England had only won the Ashes back once, since the 1980's, in Australia, which shows how tough and frankly how dominant the Aussies have been over the past 40yrs! Listening to TMS team, the coverage in my opinion has been really poor this time around, they all thought we were nailed on winners and when reality struck, they all spent the rest of the time telling us how bad ‘bazball’ is, as they’d been duped by positive press and media too! I’m unsure what will happen next with the current setup, I hope they keep the same people in post, as the past 4yrs has been tremendous for English cricket, but they have failed at the final hurdle and that may well see a change of the guard. All that said, I’m still looking forward to Melbourne test and more sleepless nights.

Been really disappointing with only Archer close to the level required.

Just watching the Spurs v Liverpool game, it’s that quiet I just heard a mouse piss on cotton.

Excellent knock from Crawley, a player that has been picked over the past few years with eyes firmly on this ashes series. His technical ability and shots at times are sublime, but he needs to improve to called world class right. All that said, he’s scored plenty of runs in Australia, certainly been a success on the batting side, where as Pope and Ducket, who have been scoring bags full before arriving in Australia, have been found out big time, very disappointing.

I try extremely hard not to tell people whether they should attend Ewood or not, its personal choice and many fans have personal reasons for going above and beyond the owner protests, posters should keep that in mind! We all want the same thing, or at least many do, a new chapter in Rovers history without those rats from Pune. That day will come, make no mistake, its only a matter of time. VENKYS OUT - NOTHING ELSE MATTERS

I was talking to a Millwall mate of mine earlier, he was telling me its £38 for him tomorrow, is that right? For a lunchtime kick off, on TV, 200 miles away? If so that is bloody scandalous Rovers...

His numbers say he is that good Chaddy, ranked 9th in World, we only have 1 player in top 20, Gus Atkinson, which tells its own story. bowling Total wickets 69 Bowling avg 18.17 Maidens 102 Best Figuresvs England 26/12/2021 6/7 (Before Brendon Mccullum took over, nothing like blocking up an end and batting all day eh 🤣)

Australia have 5 of the best bowlers in the world, look at the number of wickets Starc, Cummins, Lyon, Boland and Hazelwood have taken. We have Archer, who is world class on his day, our 2nd highest wicket taker is Joe Root, let that sink in! All the populist nonsense about us being 'under cooked', not enough warm up games etc is rubbish, our real issue is this current crop of players, career wise, have not had enough cricket in Australian conditions. To add to that, I think it was K-Hod who initially called this out and he's spot on, if you don't take catches you don't win matches. I would concur and no amount of warm up games helps with getting the very basics right. Lets face it, in Australian conditions, we are a long way behind this current Aussie team, especially with the ball, its that simple.

BBG Sports, the company that owns Snicko, has accepted culpability for the mistake. "Given that Alex Carey admitted he had hit the ball in question, the only conclusion that can be drawn from this, is that the Snicko operator at the time must have selected the incorrect stump mic for audio processing," BBG told BBC Sport. "In light of this, BBG Sports takes full responsibility for the error."

I went to see Richard Hawley tonight at Sheffield City Hall. A more humble, down to earth chap you’re never likely to meet, he can hold a tune and play a guitar too! I wasn’t aware his god father was Joe Cocker. Richard said Joe never hung around the house due to music, but because he fancied his mum and fit radiators with his dad for the gas board 🤣 But he did say his dad introduced Joe to his first Ray Charles record and the rest is history Superb evening

One of my favourite goals from 1970’s, Leeds Peter Lorimer:

He’s just another in a long line of lambs to the slaughter VI, I’m sure he’s doing the best he can. I’ve been saying for many years now, we could bring Guardiola in and the owners and the acolytes would find a way to bollox it up. VENKYS OUT - NOTHING ELSE MATTERS Safe trip home everyone.

Why you on here then? Maybe stick to moaning about our result today and let me enjoy that shower getting spanked in a 6 pointer at home 👍

Maybe the rivalry hasn’t reached St Helens, or what it means, but that lot losing, losing well, gives me immense pleasure, regardless of the shit show at Ewood.
