I've just read the report on the Telegraph, Mark Robins has accused us of gamesmanship too.

Was the referee crap? I didn't see the game?

He must have been reading this site because you and many other posters have done the same, in criticizing the referee, are you all wrong?

Can you post the link please Mike?

Forest look a decent shout Bb, the reason is Chris Houghton spent £20+ at Forest before his sacking, the job was already done for him. In the same period we’ve spent £1.99 on incoming transfers.

Gutted for the hordes that went today, superb second half performance, if only we'd had Diaz and Dack fit all season things would be very different. Safe journey home. Ramadan Mubarak to our Asian fans.

Black on track today, enough of this defeatist bullshit. Coventry 1 Rovers 2

He lied to the media and supporters in his very first press conference about whether or not he had links to SEM, he also came out in full support of king rat, because they both had SEM representatives, that's why he's a degenerate in my opinion.

Mowbray asked about his future - There's no offer. There's no conversation. There's no discussion. I'm anticipating trying to see this season through and then it's the summer" With every passing week and month these disgraceful owners continue to drag this once great clubs reputation through the mud. This is a manager that picked this club off the floor after that degenerate Coyle left us in the mire. Either offer him a new deal or tell him he's surplus to requirements, its a disgusting way to treat people. Venkys Out

https://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/sport/19885006.blackburn-rovers-owners-venkys-standing-firm-joe-rothwell/ It’s never a good career move to tell lies about your employers. Reading between the lines in Jan, Mowbray would have let Rothwell go, the owners refused to sell.

Rothwell was the discussion, you threw the grenade in about the manager taking back handers.

Stop making things up Revidge, it’s almost as laughable as the bullshit you started about Mowbray taking a cut from the training ground sale. Complete and utter garbage and Rothwell has been awful since January, which was the main point.

I think he should be at Bournemouth, he would be if the owners hadn’t meddled in first team affairs. He’s been awful since January.

I remember him being booed by Blackburn End when his name was read out.

With those 3 previous failures in the playoffs still raw sgig, I think the majority of the town got plastered after this game. But it all turned out well in the end, like some posters above have said, I never felt we'd lose the playoff final once we got there.

Dare I say shades of 2022 Herbie..... You lose one of your main men, you struggle, we've lost several this season at key times with a threadbare squad.

Fair comment Bb. I'm of the opinion that Mowbray, like most managers under Venkys, is trying to manage with one had tied behind his back. Its not a popular opinion on here I know, but thats how I see things reading between the lines.

One very clear parallel is we were cruising until January in 1992, but only just scraped into the playoffs on the last day of the season come May. I'm sure we'd all take that now.

When Kevin 'Rooster' Russell scored late on for Leicester at the Darwen End I thought we'd blown it.

With a debt of around £150m, these owners are spending money we haven't got and continue to do so because they're incompetent. They rode into the club and sacked the likes of Nelson, Salgado, Emerton and one of two others under the guise of getting the clubs finances under control. Move forward 11yrs and we are still in the same position haemorrhaging money only now they're selling off club assets and Jack Walkers legacy in the process. Its disgusting.

Agreed and he has been awful at times, I don't think anyone would dispute that.

We are mid table when it comes to wages right now, we are also hamstrung by FFP, due to the mismanagement of the club by these inept owners, of course it can be both. Nope. As you say Bb, this manager and every other manager are just symptoms, we know where the real illness resides.

You make a good fist of trying to shift the blame, but £2m a season including wages, isn’t £10m a season including wages, regardless if the manager is Mowbray or Guardiola. Pound shop billionaires, who won’t even pay for a lick of paint in Bburn end bogs. Speaks volumes.

Who is responsible for the steady steam of loan signings and the revolving door? Mowbray is working with the budget Venkys allow him, he needs to put a side out and this is the result. I can guarantee Mowbray would have signed Tosin and he’d certainly sign most of this seasons intake, but we’re skint, with billionaire owners. The very reason we’re in the loan market is because these owners haven’t got wages under control in 10yrs. The Buck stops with these inept absent owners.

Players having arguments with each other happens all the time in dressing rooms, its hardly anything new. One posters claimed, during the match, 'Mowbray has lost the dressing room' which is complete and utter garbage of course, but seized upon by the regular posse and they're still running with it now. Its all very 'blazing saddles'.......
