Have you reached out to Kamy for alternative main stream media contacts?

Always found the likes of David Conn , Henry Winter , Jack Gaughan and the independent as better outlets,  than don't rock the boat LET

Henry was all over the Reading stuff at the weekend, supporting the fans against another abhorrent owner. He never shyd away from the Venky stuff either, Nick Harris was another.

Well that stings. Always thought he was top class. Would love him back here.

Premiership quality on his day, another very good Mowbray signing, but his wages are probably 4/5 times what we pay these days, never going to happen sadly. 

I was in the big city last night (Sheffield) for drinks at Public and seafood at Native.

First of all it was Public, which used to be a public toilet back in the day, now doing table service of amazing cocktails, bring the plastic though as its not cheap, but the quality and range of the drinks was superb:

Then we had a table booked at Native, one of only a handful of Seafood restaurants in the city. Our group loved the place on the whole, Lobster, Crab, Turbot, Scallops, Bream and Gurnard on offer, but its was insanely expensive for me. Turbot £32, king of fish I get that, but it came with a sauce and nothing else. Starters all £13+ - I don't mind spending money on food, but it just seemed a bit over the top for me, but I will go back as what was served was excellent.

Spot on.

I doubt anyone from the FF will have the cajones to ask those questions but we will see I suppose in upcoming Forum minutes. in the unlikely event they are asked please don't 

The answer to Number 2 is the crucial one  and that will dictate the course of action the owners SHOULD be taking. but probably won't.

How’s the QEGS delegation getting on Rev? Are we seeing any progress?

It’s easy to criticise from the comfort of the armchair, I’ve done it, but knowing one or two on the FF they’ll ask the questions when the time is right, it’s not about wading in on every subject or you lose credibility.

Reading fans invaded the pitch today after 20mins in protest against god awful owners, match abandoned. 

Direct action - I salute every one of you.

Venkys out!

Lets all agree it was a foul on the keeper, it makes the 92nd minute equaliser even better.

What's the optimistic prediction on how many more appearances he makes this season? 5?

And then what are the chances that a club is then interested next summer?

And then if we don't sell him, how many appearances might he make next season? 15?

So there's a very good chance we turn down a bit for a player who is a high earner and will make 20ish appearances over the next 18 months. Again, that's being optimistic.

Knowing our luck, he will stick around, barely play this season, play a few games next season, and then we will offer him a new contract because we're fresh out of ideas. 

How long has he been here Eddie? I believe he's played over 200 games for us? But you're right of course, he's struggled with injury over the past 2 seasons.

Most fans, if the money was reinvested, would take the deal, but we all know that money probably wouldn't see the light of day, even if someone was willing to pay a decent fee. 

I'll translate what Kaminski was saying in the clip above:

"Shut up you fat burnley bastard"

Sky have a lot to answer for, football on a Monday night was rare before that lot came along.....

Definitely taken some the sheen off the tie for me 🙄 

Why the tie has any sheen at all is another question, its against 3rd division Wrexham for goodness sake, but I want to spend 90 minutes berating that **** McClean and now I possibly can't go.....

Do you think Gally is a good Championship striker ? Yes or no.

I can't answer the question with just yes or no rigger.

If you take this down to barebones - Striker =  goals = No, not good enough, I think he scores 1 goal every 4 games.

If you look at his all round contribution to the team, every manager has played him out of the wing, his tracking back - Yes

I will never criticize any player that is selected to play for Blackburn Rovers and puts in 110% every game, Gallagher falls into that category for me.

 The results improve with Gally, but they are still not good enough. 

Which has nothing to do with Gallagher himself, he clearly is doing his bit as the stats suggest.

I can’t say I’ve seen The Bear on Netflix, a series the rest of the family keep saying, especially one episode in series 2, is the best bit of Tv they have ever seen!

Praise indeed, I’m going to give it a go.

Agree but If we do not sell him this window he leaves on a free in summer.

I'd rather have the player right now personally.

He annihilated Stoke with his pace in 2015

King is one of the best strikers we had in the Championship, just unfortunate to be behind Gestede and Rhodes.

Really joey? Turned it on for the cameras in FA Cup I seem to recall, otherwise he was 'injured' or missing.

He was one of the worst players ever to pull on the shirt due to his attitude and his refusal to play towards the end of his time here...

The clip is a little long, but you get the drift, my go to chippy in Blackburn

Adam Wharton

- 4 years left on his contract.
- Starts pretty much every match for his boyhood club.
- Very highly rated (being eyed up half of the Premier League).
- Young and English.

He won't go for less than £20m, with a decent sell-on too.

Say what you want about Gregg, but he isn't an idiot - he knows what he has.

At a a normal club you'd hold on to your prized assets like your life depended on it, sadly we are no longer a normal club. If anyone came in for Wharton today with £20m, that would be reinvested, I'd bite the hand off. 

Back in the real world, we'll probably sell him anyway and the money will never see the light of day.......

Venkys out.

Mods - Can we permanently pin this to the top?
Some great clips and archive in here, posters have made a real effort on content.

Eastham joins Hyde so could be something here.... would prefer an experienced Forest reserve goalie....

 

Edit: Can we loan three players from the same club.

He’s going to Wednesday the local press claim.

Patronising.

You clearly hadn’t understood the context of my post.

You are entitled to your opinion, but mine remains that Broughton is another chancer, typical of Venkys reign. 

I'll not bother in future, good evening.

Bit of a stretch to call Hyam "a very good signing" - we paid a substantial fee for him, he had a good start to last season but I thought he was fairly poor in the second half of last season when the team as a whole tanked and this season he seems to be getting worse and worse and turning into something of a defensive liability.

Does your seat face the pitch Rev? This post is bizarre. 

He won fans player of the year and players player of the year, was called up to the Scotland squad and was our most consistent performer last season. 

He's been an excellent buy.

No he did neither he just explained that Szmodics wasn't one GB wanted and that Hyam and Brittain had already been put on the wanted list and enquired about by the previous regime.

Which was mentioned anyway at the time both were signed and we only got them once Barnsley went down and Coventry suddenly came back to Rovers offering him at less than they'd previously valued him at.

Long term targets they were.

Thanks for that tomphil.

We are a basket case of a club, so anything is possible, but are we believing the new regime are buying the old regimes targets? I’m not convinced, but its only my opinion.

Either way 2 very good signings.

Re - Szmodics, I think you need to scroll back a bit on this thread.

I had heard previously that Broughton had little to do with his arrival. 

I understand the situation with the finances full well, thank you, and we all know that Venkys are the root cause of all the problems.

When you’re skint, it’s even more important to have an experienced, skilled operator in a key, strategic role.

As for the match, I posted yesterday that I enjoyed it and glad I made the effort.

I’m only answering your post marton, it’s how this messageboard stuff works…..

As for Broughton on Sammie, I’ve not read the comments you refer to, but don’t tell me, Waggott is taking some of the credit and hammering Gregg in the process? 😂
