To come back from 2-0 down away at Bolton, even in a friendly, I bet the 1200 enjoyed that.

I think this is a lazy characterisation and way off the mark with respect. I'm looking forward to the next trip to Ewood, nobody hates Venkys more than me, be assured of that, but I spent far to long boycotting and being angry, it got me nowhere. I don't have a problem with the manager, he wouldn't be in post if we had proper owners and proper people running the club, same for the past 10yrs of mediocrity, he shouldn't be here, but that won't stop me watching the team. I support the football club, its in the blood, I'm sure plenty more feel the same and shouldn't be slagged off for doing so.

1. Yes - Owners to blame, they empower mediocrity 2. Yes - Owners to blame, they empower mediocrity 3. Dolan 4. 17th - Owners to blame, they empower mediocrity 5. West Brom (Or any of the relegated sides, the rest can't compete)

Can someone post this on the bolton site, I used to wind them up years ago, talk about illusions of grandeur and chips on shoulder..... They used to consider us the main rivals, I used to point out thats actually Bury.

Fans back at Ewood on Wednesday has to be not only good news but great news! @rog of the rovers brilliant post almost brought a tear to my eye, I can't wait to get back in the stands: Overall Before even speaking about the match.....How brilliant it was to be back inside Ewood. Feeling that connection with the team once again, and that feeling of pride at the final whistle. Great to be home! The kit looks fantastic, plenty wearing the shirts in the stands, saw both home and away on display! c.9,000 fans provided a great atmosphere for a pre-season match. Thankfully Rovers fans almost matched the Leeds fans 1 to 1, so made for a nice spectacle. Left the ground feeling more optimistic than I felt going in! In regards to almost everything! Off the pitch, how comfortable it felt being amongst a large group of people. The euphoria of being at a live match at Ewood and the feeling when the ball hit the back of the net.

@Moderators Can you please increase my subscription for £3 (less than the price of a pint) to £5 (Less than the price of a pint in many places) to not only cut out the ads, but also cut out posters who think running a website is free and accessing such a site is a god given right and I've not even mentioned the 15yrs of continued moaning...... Thanks

Yes

Spoke to a Wednesday fan about Reach: “Versatile squad player. Never did anything of note for us other than score a worldie every 6 months. The kind of player where I wouldn’t be massively surprised if he ended up a starter at the bottom end of the premiership in a few years and I’d be equally unsurprised if he ended up a reserve in the bottom end of League one in a few years” Sounds like a mid table championship level player for a mid table championship side.

Considering all the money in football, the way transfers are brokered is amateurish at best.... How many times do we see those idiots on Sky going mad at 1 minute to midnight over last minute transfers between massive clubs worth millions of pounds? Or better still missing the deadline and blaming the fax machine! The Armstrong saga is dragging on as usual, I'd set any prospective clubs a deadline to meet the price or he stays, simple as that. We are already on the backfoot waiting for funds over this transfer, get a bleedin move Watford/Southampton or sod off would be my stance. If only Carlsberg ran football clubs....

Morning Mods. Is it just me or have the adverts now taken over the bulk of the site? They're far more prominent than the threads and pages themselves. I fully understand the need to fund the site and most accepted the switch to adverts, but this has gone beyond that, its difficult to read the site now. I'm using Chrome on PC this morning. Cheers

I'm certainly not against doing that on Covid grounds ojf, but the article refences being away from home and not having the family on tour with them, that doesn't seem like a reason to cancel a tour for me, this is professional sport after all, these are the sacrifices you make, harsh though that is. We have players from across the globe playing in The Hundred currently, the IPL resumes in September, the cynic in me says is more than just Covid and being away from home £$£$£$.

I’ve just seen that Ally Dawson has died aged 63. RIP

I’m watching a documentary on The Mamas and the Papas, it’s incredible that this band only lasted 3yrs and yet they left us such a back catalogue. Genius. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=h81Ojd3d2rY

Thank God 😃

Yes I thought that when I wrote it, burnley town centre on the way back, big window 😀 young and daft.

The only good police escort is in places like Leeds, where the railways station is miles away from the ground and you’ve got 500 local nutters in the way 😲 Character building.

I’ve just turned it off, Flintoff on commentary, he’s bloody awful, it’s like a lads locker room…..

Rubbish bazza.

I’m reserving the right to hate The Hundred. I love cricket in any form, at any level, but Johnny Baitstow playing for a Welsh side at Headingley is nonsense, Livingston the same and many more, just doesn’t sit right for me.

Unbelievable win for the Lions after a disappointing 1st half, just tremendous. Next 2 tests in Cape Town avoiding the altitude, 3-0 Lions 🤔

Great bit of commentary: He must have broken his nose, he’s just hoofed that into the Sherif of Carmarthen’s nose, ouch!

Also known on this forum as absolute Bunkum.

The owners have been badly advised according to some posters on here, thankfully I can offer some good advice: **** *** back under the rock and sell the club.

Come on you Lions - Rugby Union not League, but on the international stage Union dominates for sure. Going to be tough, World Champions in SA, looking forward to it.
