Nothing wrong with that challenge, but worrying to see Dack on the floor.

Thats a bloody penalty

The last thing we want to do is follow the Brentford model, its clear we're a much bigger club that that.

Coming back into this, Rothwell leading the charge.

Did your seat face the pitch?

Every manager under Venkys.

This ref is absolute bobbins and he's got a face that would stop a clock.

You can tell these lot have had some down time, much sharper all over the park. We look like we're running through treacle.

Beat Welling away 3rd round. Then Beat 1st Division Sheff Weds at home, Wednesday wore an awful green away kit if memory serves me correctly. Then lost to 3rd division Brentford....... I don't recall many games where I was more devastated to be honest Cherry Blue. The height of my ambition in those days was to see us play in an FA Cup semi final at a neutral ground.....Gutted.

Lost to 3rd division Brentford in FA Cup at Ewood 1988/89. I was devastated, really felt we'd make the semi-finals at least that season. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F2-szKHuYIM

I'm sure every club in this league are aspiring to create the Brentford model, or at least the ones who are not relying on the Premiership £££££. One of the reason we want to keep the training ground in tact is to bring our own players through the academy and sell them on if necessary. John Williams told us time and time again this was the way forward for Blackburn Rovers and he wasn't wrong.

Played them off the park earlier in the season until Lenihan got sent off..... Rovers 2 Brentford 1

India imploding 102-6.

First T20 against India starts at 1.30pm England win toss and bowl.

I think with £20m me and you could have us challenging tomphil. I'll drop Waggott an email 👍

Are we looking to extend that contract JH? I've not seen anything in the press?

The hardest player to find is a goal scorer, no doubt about that in my mind, its always been the case. Without goals you don't win games, simple as that. I could never understand why posters wanted to sell Rhodes, a 20+ a season goal scorer, its made no sense. But....... If Venkys have crawled out from under the rock and told Mowbray he can sell Armstrong and spend the cash from the sale, as the manager I'd be looking to sell him as quickly as possible, especially if the numbers of £20m are correct. I don't know about FFP and how that would work, but if that cash can be reinvested in the playing side we'd have a slim chance of challenging the play off places next season.

Love this pic, you don't see many pics from this side of the ground, Infirmary in the distance also. Blackburn Rovers supporters queueing for tickets outside Ewood Park for the FA Cup 5th Round tie between Blackburn Rovers and Manchester City in Blackburn, England, circa February 1969

Seems to be all the rage these days CLB. Bob Dylan has just released archives with George Harrison, these come on the back of his sessions with Johnny Cash, great listening and some studio banter to boot. I know Joni Mitchell has released her archives too. Great artists, timeless.
