What a superb strike from Gallagher, thats what the lads capable of, we need to see more of it, confidence is the key, oh yes and playing him in the right position Tony.

Goodness me Rev.....they've hardly got their feet under the table are you're already taking swipes at them.... You said similar about Harvey Elliott when he arrived, yesterday he was running the European Champions ragged and was absolute quality from the day one at Ewood, as was Tosin. Venkys are refusing to allow the club to sign players on permanent deals, hiding behind FFP as usual, thats why the squad is depleted, the smallest squad I can recall in 40yrs+ so we are scraping around the loan markets to get deals done and its down to your mates in Pune. Badly advised?

The experts on here say they’re a waste of money, so we can’t count them Jack can we…. 😀

Plenty of us picked the score today, but how many had money on it? I would imagine Steve Gibson is scratching his head this evening after shelling out £10m in the summer and coming up with only 1 point against a depleted Blackburn Rovers side. A goal for Sam Gallagher, coupled with several for Diaz so far this season, who needs Armstrong? It’s been a tremendous start, better than anyone could have expected and long may it continue. Onwards and upwards.

Could be over today this den, brilliant response to the last test defeat. Another one falls.

RIP Charlie Watts

Early wickets required England please 👍 I think we're carrying a couple of injuries in the bowling dept, so its not going to be easy today.

@HowieFive0 has it spot on above, success on the pitch brings the fans out, not deals on tickets, its been that way since I started going many moons ago and it will always remain that way. As for todays game, I've been delighted with the start we've made to this season, much better than anyone anticipated. Boro have spent a few quid this summer, close to £10m I read somewhere, which is a significant outlay for a club in this division without Premiership money. 1-1 draw

Ah the memories Paul…… Kenny loved the Tickled Trout for a deal or two.

We did take that approach, then Venkys arrived phili.

Absolutely, everything in the garden is rosy Rev. Champions League here we come.

That lad Armstrong didn't do to badly 47er. More of the same please Mowbray.

You've blamed every manager, every CEO, every MD and even the tea lady for the decline of the football club over the past 10yrs. You've told me on more than one occasion you believe Venkys will come good at some point and thats why you can't see through those Venky tinted spectacles, it has clouded you judgement for a decade and its set to do the same for the next decade to come. The only decent manager to get near the job and this: https://www.theleaguepaper.com/features/featured/8700/dunlavy-column-the-day-blackburn-rovers-ditched-warnock-for-coyle/ Warnock was typically forthright. “I spoke to one club,” he said. “But they didn’t know what they were doing.” Badly advised eh......bloody criminal i'd say.

How about the time we were in discussions with Real Madrid’s Raul and we ended up with David Goodwillie. Bad advice?

Couldn’t agree more, no Parkinson or Mahmood, nowhere near enough den.

Following in the footsteps of Shaw, Singh and Barry Chuckle LD. The owners are as thick as pig shit, fill yer boots, it’s been the same for 10yrs. Bad advice?

Nobody said that, have you started early tonight Simon? Just for the record, I’d take Wilder tomorrow. Quite right too. Any CEO worth his salt would look at every avenue to raise funds when the clubs haemorrhaging money at the rate we are. Its not difficult this stuff chaps.

Come on Lancashire🏏

I know…..🙄

Joe Root cementing his place as one of greatest batsman this country has ever seen, just phenomenal. Roooooot

They have form for not paying bills on time JH, Barclays took the overdraft of them years ago because they failed to pay and provide proof of funds. Henning Berg took them to the high court for not paying his contract up and I'm sure I could find more examples if I set my mind to it. This badly advised nonsense is quickly becoming laughable, not aimed at you JH.

I don't blame any CEO for looking at ways to raise funds at a club haemorrhaging money, no matter how unsavoury that may seem to many, me included. John Williams talked about selling the naming rights to Ewood, but that never happened. But lets face it, nobody sells fixed assets like training grounds unless the owners say so, the buck stops with them.

Try telling that to the Rovers in the community team who were all fired when we got relegated under king rat, cost cutting. Why have we no scouting network? Why have we just sacked the European scout? Why are the backroom team all leaving? Why can't we get staff to work in the club shop the Saturday after the new shirt is released? Why does Ewood look like a shit tip? Why did Steve Patrick leave? Why has the pitch been awful since the day Steve left? Why did the club doctors leave? Why has the club been massively downgraded over the past 10yrs? All cost cutting Mike, nothing to do with FFP and the list above goes on and on and on.....

He was also sacked after it became clear he was very much a 1 trick pony, the premiership worked him out and now Sheff Utd are bottom of the Championship, but they did make a profit last season for the first time in over a decade, Venkys would love that.

Did the same apply to Gary Bowyer and Paul Lambert? How about Henning Berg who also wanted players signed to contracts when he arrived and ended up in the high court because Venkys wouldn't pay his contract! As we all know, this refusal to sign players to contracts isn't anything new, its been going on for years, way before Mowbray came to the club?
