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.

Sounds like my house...... Don't tell the wife 🙄

I don't want to start the old debate "Stick with the manager we've got because they can't appoint anyone better" but it is a very real concern for me with the dross thats available currently and our track record of appointing rubbish. I'm of the opinion nobody will gain Premiership promotion at the current Blackburn Rovers because the clubs a basket case and off the pitch is worse than on in my opinion. The one thing that the current manager and a new manager could easily do is relegate the club, thats a very real possibility. I loved the league one season, I don't mind admitting it, but I don't want to go there again, as I fear we won't come back this time around.

Our defence has been shit since Venkys arrived Sparks, this isn't a Mowbray phenomenon alone.

The tweet was a bit embarrassing to be honest, we gained promotion 3yrs ago, a tremendous night in rainy Doncaster, in fact one of the only highlights supporting the club over the past 10yrs. Yes Mowbray is past his sell by date, but do the maths next time and don't call us Blackburn, we are Rovers.

Australia and New Zealand have pulled out of the Rugby League World Cup. England now have a chance!

A positive outcome is different for different people Blue blood. A positive outcome for many, after the past 18 months, is to just get back into the stands with your mates to see a bit of live football. A positive outcome could be seeing Armstrong in a Rovers shirt, how about Dack coming back, it’s not all about promotion and playoff places for many I’d wager.

An old one, but speaking of tech support puts me in mind of this gents, some fruity language from the start, but used to have me in stitches 😂

How must it feel for the opposition when you get Butler out cheaply and Malan walks in, with the best figures in world cricket. We’ve a Tremendous white ball team.
