Gav

I have no idea if he's contracted to play games, if he is thats poor from our side, simple as that. Morton is suffering a downturn in form, like 7/8 other players in the first team, nothing more than that for me. The same happened last season at the same time and will continue to happen until we are able to bring in better players with more consistency. If the current crop could play at a high level all season they'd not be playing for Blackburn Rovers, they'd be playing at a higher level.

Like everything else these days at Ewood, contracted out and nobody gives a toss about the fan experience. We have so much local food and drink to choose from, they'd jump at the chance to be involved at Ewood, bit nobody cares.

I think your comparison with Froch is spot on, I'd never thought about that before, but they're very similar in many ways. I was cringing as some of those shot landed from both fighters last night, but Beterbiev early doors was frightening, the power and accuracy, its a tough way to make a living. Great fight.

Fair play to you islander 👍

You know and I know the point being made 😉

Michael Obafemi joins burnley islander? Any thoughts?

@tomphil Did you catch the Yarde v Beterbiev fight last night? What a scrap, Beterbiev throws lumps of concrete with every shot, rarely missing and all credit to Yarde, I never gave him much hope but he bit down on that gum shield and dug in, brave lad. Brilliant stuff at times, Bivol next for Beterbiev I'd imagine.

Spot on. Our situation doesn't get any better until they sod off, its only going to get worse. Someone mentioned Bolton and Blackpool yesterday, I watched some of the Bolton game away at Charlton, big away support and the team pulling up trees in the league, I'd take that right now to get rid of virus running through the club.

Thankfully football and society have come a long way since those days some 40yrs ago. Blackburn Rovers doesn’t have a problem with racism, as that bitter little bastard on Twitter claims, but we, like society at large, have racists amongst us and we must do everything we can to root them out and ban them for life.

Can you spot yourself @Tyrone Shoelaces

Boom

The pitch certainly gives me the impression we have a healthy transfer budget 🙄 Like a billiard table, no expense spared.

Boom

Rubbish, it’s the same healthy budget myth being perpetuated right now and you’re falling for it, again…..

It may seem a big salary to the average man/woman in the street, but in footballing terms it’s not and I know plenty of CEO’s outside football on that sort of cash and more.

Waggott tells everyone what they want to hear, you should know that by now. If I was in his shoes I'd resign to be honest Paul, what is the point of being in that position when you're got little or no influence over arguably the most important aspect of the job. Armatures the lot of them.

For some reason, that escapes me right now, I never made Everton game, big regret on my part, to have been part of that massive Rovers following at Goodison must have been superb. Just been reminded that a mate got hit with a bicycle chain after the match, plenty of trouble outside the ground, perhaps it wasn't a bad thing I missed it after all!

This football club, under these owners, is setup to fail at every turn. Producing players to play at a higher level is like winning promotion for Venkys, job done, they don’t care about return on investment, which is vital for this club to move forward. The fans are still being taken for ******* idiots, it’s as simple as that. Venkys out.

Everton 85/86

As its FA Cup day and the magic of the cup seems to have fallen away in recent years, here are a few for the older fans, ties that definitely got the juices flowing: Liverpool away 1978/79 - Lost 0-1 against probably the best side in Europe Coventry 79/80 - We beat the first division side 1-0 at Ewood to set the Villa tie up below. Villa 79/80 - Future European Cup winners came to Ewood and we managed a respectable draw in front of 30,000, but lost the replay 0-1 at Villa Park. Liverpool again at Ewood 82/83 - Lost 1-2 against a great side. Southampton live on BBC 83/84 - Lost 0-1 but I couldn't sleep for a week before this one. United 84/85 live on BBC - Lost 0-2, again the excitement was fever pitch in the lead up to the game. League Champions Everton 85/86 at Goodison - 7000 Rovers fans went that day, lost 1-3, Gary Lineker scored for Everton We had nothing, skint, but all those sides gave everything in those games and the support was superb as ever.

So did Mowbrays Rovers...

If posters think Gallagher is frustrating, Joao would cause a bigger meltdown than usual, then again he scores against us all the time, could be something in this madness Bigbar 😉

Not really Asia and normally I'd agree with you! I can't remember the name of journalist (Nick Harris maybe) but he was excellent on his reporting of those Venky rats and Anderson, Shaw, Agnew etc, so in this case I did give that rag of a paper a pass.

Cobblers, Sam Allardyce was a bent bastard Jimmy and no amount of rewriting history will ever change that. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-1387883/FA-probe-50k-bung-Gael-Givets-Blackburn-move.html If you left your principles and brain at the turnstiles you could just about cope with the fact he was robbing every Rovers fan of seeing the better players come to Ewood, he was in the pocket of 1 agent, very Venkyesq actually, brown envelopes a plenty and don't get me started on him buy a round for all the Bolton fans in The Sportsmans (Bromley Cross) the night Jack Walker died. Not 1 Rovers fan played a part in his sacking, despite your hysterics on the subject, but every England fan in this country witnessed him disgracing himself on the national stage and he should have been banned from football for life. Have we signed anyone yet.....

Greedy bent bastard who got his comeuppance by being fired from England job, karma I’d say.
