  1. RIGHT F**K IT I AGREE! and we'll bring in *************** to take the club forward? Answers on a postcard to John Williams C/O Blackburn Rovers football club.
  2. Even i've got to aim some of the blame towards the manager for tonights 4-5-1 formation? WE WERE AT HOME FOR GODS SAKE! regardless of injuries which are a major factor at the moment. But lets sack Souness now and replace him with...........JOHN BOND maybe. Think before you post it really does help to avoid abuse and foul language
  3. Before my ledge was moved I watched most of the game on the TV mate I've often thought about asking the club if they'd sell season tickets for the Blackburn End concourse at reduced prices because our little clan could save a few quid which would help with rising beer costs! But if confined to my seat I guess you've got a point although with some of the people sat around me I get a running commentary anyway.
  4. Aah! and there lies the rub.... You attend the game pished and sit behind the goal where you cannot see the shape of the play properly! That explains a lot :'> (Lol....) I could do that, giz a job, go on giz it.......
  5. Only just picked up on this thread myself and find Rev's departure a disgrace. I disagree with a number of his views but that’s what his column was all about. Burnley baiting was a joy to read, only hope the new guy takes no s**t of scummings. Having read the new lads first 2 pieces I feel he's got along way to go to bring his column up to Revs standard but he'll get better I’m sure. After some of the 'goalpost' altering last season Rev, you're better of without it
  6. Got the very same album as you and must admit to being rather impressed. The reviews said a cross between Bob Dylan and Brain Jones. Thought they were a Californian surf group but apparently hail from Dublin. 'Big sur' is a quality summer track as are 'Santa Cruz' and '1 horse town'
  7. With you being a Blackburn Rovers supporter I’m sure that has something to do with you not understanding why people travel without tickets. It’s not something we ever have a problem with, I only wish we did. 7500 Celtic fans are coming to Blackburn and most will arrive by 11am if reports are to be believed. Ticketless fans with a PASSION for football and the club will just come and enjoy a day on the ale with fellow supporters, sing a few songs and have a real party despite not having a ticket. If the roles were reversed I’d certainly travel in the opposite direction to just enjoy seeing my supporters take over a town or city for the day even if I had no ticket. Wouldn't you?
  8. What a heap of absolute rubbish. I wont even grace that statement with anymore than that. That game was played in 1977, 25yrs ago! Times have changed everywhere but in burnley :'>
  9. I think Ste has a few ideas on arranging a meet. I'd go for a pub on the outskirts of town to avoid it being an away supporter only pub. I'm available from 11am
  10. Having been in the main Celtic pub in Glasgow and generally mixed with around 55k+ of them, on their own patch, i'll certainly be drinking in town on Thursday afternoon as we had so much good banter with them previously. Go out and enjoy the day because you never know when a game like this will come around again.
  11. We never went yesterday but have been to Southampton on a number of occasions previously and always found the support in good voice and numbers. Without doubt the terrible performance from the opening whistle hardly helped. Can't agree about southern games being poor for atmosphere. The season we went down away to Charlton and QPR were 2 of the best games I can remember in recent times for singing both in the pubs and in the grounds. For anyone who went to Parkhead it must have been astonishing to hear the contrasts from one game to the next. If the level support at Celtic was in evidence more often, you could put 50% on the away followings because it was a fantastic experience, and one more people would want to share. As for being told to shut up Jordan, I can understand why someone would want you to shut up :'> No really their are far too many people in the 'shut up sit down brigade' following the club these days. PRAWN SANDWICH ANYONE
  12. Poor performances as well as results can become a habit. If a team continues to play poorly and win, eventually they will get found out. I'd rather have the team playing well and losing the odd game because bad luck doesn't last a season in my opinion. Let's not say everyone had a bad game because Brad was again outstanding and is second only to the Chelsea keeper in my opinion.
  13. Critisizm for Dunny? Whatever next :'> Let's hope we've got that very poor performance out of our system for this season. Thing is with Rovers we usually lose those kind of games. How many travelling fans? we usually take a good following to Southampton for some strange reason? Onwards and upwards. See you Thurs Tris when hopefully you'll have calmed down
  14. Thing is Tash, 8yrs ago we sold out 23k+ with days to spare! Maybe football isn't as fashionable as it was back then. Surely everyone didn't come out to see Mary Poppins.... :'>
  15. With only 3 working days to go I find it rather disheartening to find out we've not sold out in home areas, AGAIN. Why on earth should we have the regular debate on giving away sides the whole Darwen end when year upon year we can't sell out in home areas when we do so? What the hell do the Blackburn public need to get the interest going? Again it's debateable whether or not the Blackburn public deserve a Premiership football club fighting on all fronts
  16. Was that Chinese upstairs? Myself, debs, May1995 and HOTSPOT were in there until 2.15am. I was the one looking rather hung over with a beige jumper on. Not bad food if i remember.
  17. Debs black rimmed glasses Gav with beige jumper John with purple jumper (Bought from Hawkshead) Jordan with Rovers top on Plus many more from the site having a good old @#/? up.
  18. Fellow posters on here said it was a steward who was telling people in the queue that John Williams had turned down 7200 allocation. John Williams didn't even deal with the tickets for this game we are lead to believe. Understand your points Revidge and I like everyone else wants to see new support blooded on Blackburn Rovers. It's hard to get an adequate solution to the infiltration problem when some supporters only try to attend the big games.
  19. Marvellous, Rovers pass up a worthwhile allocation just so Celtic can put the tickets on open sale. (And yes, the Club) have usually got it right in recent times) On a more general theme the fact a "major" Club like Celtic has to put tickets on open sale just to try and ensure a sell out speaks volumes. We're not selling out at Ewood yet it's easier for the occasional fan to get into Fort Knox than it is to get into a category A game. We have to start taking a slightly more relaxed view towards ticket sales if we're going to fill Ewood. We can't keep going on about Man City for ever. And, whilst I'm not entirely in favour of the idea, I can't understand how it can be acceptable for a club like Celtic to put tickets on open sale but not apparently Blackburn Rovers. (Talking in general not for the second leg) I'm sure many people share your frustration Revidge and after my terrible miscalculation on ticket sales for Parkhead may I now join you in thinking we have somehow been shafted. But we've been shafted by Celtic and not Blackburn Rovers As for the home game surely you understand Celtic are one of the best supported clubs in the world and infiltration would be on a massive scale if tickets went on open sale for the game at Ewood. The club are certainly not hiding behind the City fiasco alone. Man Utd, Liverpool and Bolton have all had a good numbers of supporters in our home areas and the club and police want to ensure this doesn't happen in the future. Far to many games in the past have been spoilt for home supporters because groups of away supporters are situated in their areas. Sad but true.
  20. I had a dream last night I missed me train and lost me match tickets I'd be going to the station now if i was you......
  21. Spot on, Uddersfelt. Some of our most loyal fans are arguably the exiles who are unable to get to any games but make all sorts of sacrifices to make sure they see and hear as much as they possibly can. Too many people for my liking seem obsessed with the vain attempt to identify themselves as better/more worthy fans than their neighbour. Spot on chaps. The club are always going to be on a hiding to nothing in such circumstances. Lean towards one group and annoy another, they can't win. It's clear by recent trends in our away support that such difficulties will not arise to often in the future, as Tris has mentioned, but certainly the regular away match fan needs to have some sort of distinction if the need arises. I can't believe some people on this thread who seem to think the club are lying about the allocation offered. The club have stated they were only ever offered 2800 and that was final, why would they lie? It's complete rubbish that they shunned 6000+ because they'd have to foot the bill. The club have come on leaps and bounds in recent times, regarding giving the fans a fare deal, and we have no reason to believe this time was different. Ask Man Utd for 6000 tickets when we visit old trafford this season and see what they say...... I'm lucky enough to have got a ticket for this game but I sense the feeling of some posters is the way I felt in the Championship winning season. The Liverpool game came along and although I’d been away a number of times that season I wasn't able to get a ticket. I felt that years of watching rubbish in the old days was good enough for me to have a ticket but it wasn't and eventually I got over that. The one annoying thing for me is the amount of people who were actually there that day that have never been away again and some hardly ever go to home games these days of the ones i know. Did I say I’d got over it........
  22. The biggest problem we'll have when we play Celtic is the pace of the game. Scottish football is renowned for being much quicker than the English game and in the two games against CSKA we struggled when they started to zip the ball around at pace. On another note I get the feeling that Celtic think they'll walk this round for some reason. Whether it be the media or fans rhetoric it's the feeling I’m getting. Comparisons with Spurs before the cup final, 'little blackburn' and 'well they've been to a cup final bless em' Come on Rovers let's continue the low profile and hope it ends in triumph.
  23. Beat me to it Tris. :'>
  24. Bloody hell Jordan don't make promises you can't keep Glad you got sorted.
