  1. Yes very much so, Bellamy was a better player, but take nothing away from Sammie. Its been a joy watching him this season, he, like the fans, deserve better.
  2. Tony Mowbray is a footballing man through and through and if his health improves sufficiently enough, which it sounds as though it will, he'll be back at Brum and pushing for promotion next season, if those bonkers owners allow it. I was with a Brum fan on Friday, his opinion, they wouldn't have gone down had Mowbray remained in charge and they should never have sacked Eustace!
  3. Pears kept us in the game several times today, the lad had a blinder and Eustace kept us in the league, job done. We can all look forward to next seasons relegation battle now... But spare a thought for Birmingham City, who had new owners take over in the summer. New owners who thought it would be a good idea to replace the then manager John Eustace, who had the club sat in a playoff spot. You reap what you sow, its always the fans the suffer sadly.
  4. I was in a room yesterday with a Blues fan, a Wednesday fan and 2 Rovers fans........ We all agreed Plymouth would go down, a couple had put "Heart break" bets on, getting 18/1 and 20/1 respectively. It will be interesting to see how tomorrow plays out, the bookies don't often get it wrong 🤞 Ps - Just a word on Rovers fans travelling tomorrow, tickets sold out a while back I hear. You are all a credit to this great club of ours and deserve better, much better. Each week we read about the tremendous support away from home, you should all be very proud of your efforts. Leicester 1 Rovers 3 (Do it for the fans)
  5. Utter nonsense. If we’d have sold his buys at the right time we’d have almost halved the current debt, that’s how good his buys actually were.
  6. Well congratulations to Leicester City on winning Championship. It cannot be underestimated how tough this must have been with a £60m wage bill and most of those Premiership players retained for this season. A couple of goals from £140k a week Jamie Vardy must have been the icing on the cake. Well done Leicester...
  7. One of my favourite watering holes was in Emley, sadly burnt down in December, but I’m told it’s going to rise from the ashes later in the summer.
  8. Where I live we have many different football allegiance's, Udders, both Sheff clubs and Barnsley mostly. I was talking to a neighbours son who was telling me that he was on the pitch at Oakwell on Saturday and the reason: They've squeezed into league 1 playoffs after a home draw with Northampton 🤣 Now I'm all for pitch invasions, but my god, I'd have been sneaking out at full time if that was us, not running on the pitch to celebrate!
  9. He had Birmingham in the playoff places when he was fired, with no money and bonkers owners. I‘m not saying he’ll be a massive success here, because nobody will, but having picked up the pieces left by several years of net zero funding, he’s accomplished his goal, keeping us up and that is something at least.
  10. Will Jacks just smashed a 100 for RCB, with Kohli looking on at the other end in amazement. The 5th fastest 100 in IPL T-20 history, 10 sixes, a great watch.
  11. Looks like this lad got a ticket in the wrong section.
  12. Well I saw it with my own eyes, the football under JDT was, at times, the best I'd seen in many a year, if only he'd been backed with the funds promised, we would have been top 10 and not bottom 6. As for Eustace, looks like job done, he was brought in to save us from going down and he looks to achieved that. He's a young manager used to working with mad owners on a shoe string budget, perfect fit i'd say. Get those season tickets bought, whats not to like? Mid table next season if we are lucky!
  13. Derby County back in the Championship, superb scenes from Pride Park. Here we have another club who have risen from the ashes, much like Coventry, Luton and Bournemouth to name a few more. Our time will come. VENKYS OUT - NOTHING ELSE MATTERS
  14. I understand the sentiment here, I agree with most of the post and I don't want this to descend into a Mowbray debate, but..... Whilst years of under investment is firmly to blame for our current predicament in my opinion, I can't help but think, the mini player revolt and them seemingly downing tools would never have happened under Mowbray. That charade with invited guests to listen to Waggott and the players? Would never have happened either....... Mowbray has gone, his time had come, but it just goes to show what power players can have, even crap players, if they see weakness in management!
  15. The biggest game of the day is arguably being played at John Smiths stadium in Udders, where Udders v Brum is a real 6 pointer in the relegation scrap. Wednesday are at home to West Brom who are still looking to secure a playoff spot and Plymouth are away at Millwall. Based on the shocking performance last week, you'd have to say we'll lose again today, Coventry are a good side. But with last weeks Wembley heartache and extra time, will they be running on empty? Rovers 1 Coventry 1 🤞
  16. Well congratulations to Leicester City on promotion back to Premiership at the first attempt. It cannot be underestimated how tough this must have been with a £60m wage bill and most of those Premiership players retained for this season. Well done Leicester...
  17. ….and they could be playing league 1 football next season! Big city club and bigger fan base yes, but those prices are criminal.
  18. Sheff Wednesday released 24/25 season ticket prices in January, whilst 6 points adrift from safety! Prices have gone up too, dearest £720 if bought early, cheapest £460 if bought early, they only go up in price from there! Its good to know its not only us who has ******* bonkers owners.
  19. Just send the bastards down and have done with it................Oh yes and throw away the key.
  20. They'll be back in fashion now Norbert! My lads been rifling through my old clobber looking for bits and pieces of 'Vintage' items, cheeky sod! He found an old Rovers shirt and whilst he wouldn't wear it, he tells me its going for hundreds of pounds on ebay, I may take a look!
  21. Maybe its just me, but I have a real sense this season, that the club have gone back 12yrs on and off the pitch. I haven't been to a game since Wharton was sold and JDT walked and I have no intention of attending anytime soon, they can shove the season tickets where the sun doesn't shine to be frank. In my opinion we made JDT's position untenable, after what can only be described as a superb first season. He came in during the summer, after many managers had turned us down, and seemingly pulled rabbits out of hats week in week out. We hit last summer with a real sense of optimism, the club able to push on, the football excellent at times and then the bombshell that our bent owners are in court and funds are pulled, the taps turned off, coincidence? or just criminality? Either way the club suffers, the fans suffer and its back to 2012 all over again. Selling Adam Wharton this season was absolutely criminal, they couldn't wait to get the lad out of the door. Here we have a Rovers fan playing for his boyhood club, a future England star, sold from under the managers nose as soon as a bid came in. I don't care about administration, I don't care if we needed the money, they sold at the first opportunity that arose, that is the point here. Then JDT walks, lied to again by owners who promise so much, yet deliver so little and its back to square one, the best manager in 12yrs and they've bolloxed it up. Then on the back of that we have the players, our wonderful players who put us in the position, telling the fans they need more backing, more people coming through the gates, talk about no bloody accountability of self-awareness! Needless to say, our season ticket money will be staying in the bank, I doubt I'll go again until these owners leave, but when they do, we have 5 season tickets waiting to be bought, the clock is ticking for these abhorrent owners.
  22. I've never been a fan of Samba, to flat for me, but I did consider a pair of these, but at £200 right now, I've decided against them. I do wonder where Gary Aspen got the colour scheme from, I'm sure its based on something relevant to Blackburn, maybe the Night Safe Project itself, but I'm not sure.
  23. You are without doubt, the best dressed 90yr old I know @Tyrone Shoelaces 😁
  24. I'll be honest, I bought a Canada Goose jacket probably 10yrs ago now before they did many puffers jackets. Its to hot to wear, even on the coldest days in UK! Its like new, sat on a hook under the stairs waiting for the next ice age to kick in!
  25. These things come on cycles SG, thankfully we have had far more cycles than the team of 70's. Get rid of the owners and we rise again.
