J*B

What do you want to know? Three Wigan players went into the Rovers dressing room at full time to check on Dack. He had already been taken into the medical rooms - but Rovers players in the dressing room told them directly that he had a deal agreed with WBA with a wage of nearly 50K a week. Those Wigan players told me.

No idea but his terms where in the region of 50K a week.

Probably puts us back about 6 months and a good few million pounds. When he’s fit again next season he will have 12 months left on his deal and we are looking at a summer transfer rather than a January transfer, where the market is inflated. Not good news at all.

Yeah, he had terms agreed with WBA and approval from Tony and is currently gutted. True story.

Not enough players willing to step forward and make a difference in a game for me. Hitting it long to DG didn’t work from the first minute, someone needed to move the ball forwards and make an impact. Disappointing, but the reality they’re not quite good enough to challenge the top 6.

In Mercers defence he’s telling the truth in that he always says Rovers betting is fun betting and it’s not his money. He’s always spoke about trading, too. I did profitaccumulator.com for quite some time. As it says, I won every time. It starts off great - month 1 was £200 up. By the end you’ve got the act on offers quickly and find it’s taken you a couple of hours to win about £23 so I packed it in. But it does, always, work.

...because he’s responsible for the content we are posting and owns the IP. Similar to the above.

Yes there would - if everyone stops posting tomorrow people will still listen to the podcasts, read the articles and look at the player archive. I’m only telling you the reality, if you individually stop posting tomorrow the site will stay up. If we lose viewers it will go down. It’s not intended as a brush off, you’re responsible for your own posts and hold IP because we cannot accept liability, after the site has had legal threats from agents, football club directors are even our own posters. Jim has been asked not to post screenshots, had his account banned and his IP blocked. He uses (I assume) private browsing to continue browsing anyway. We can’t stop that without risking the site financially.

So it wouldn’t have mattered if we finished sixth and got promoted by a freak 1-0 home win through a goal that was actually offside in the semi finals, then a 1-0 own goal in a game where we played terribly at Wembley? Come on Chaddy, that’s ridiculous and you know it. It would have been nicer to finish first rather than second, but second was still good enough.

Would you have preferred to come first or second?

We’ve trialled members only before - it means that essentially we have to approve everyone that signs up (which isn’t instant) and we found a lot of people just don’t want to sign up, they want to read only. We lost circa 100 viewers a day and gained about 20 members - who carried on viewing and not posting. The site relies on viewership, not membership - it’s ran for free by volunteers and we don’t ask members to donate. If we lose viewers we would go under in about 4 months. That’s just the reality. As I understand it - off the top of my head, we (BRFCS) don’t own any copyright to our members posts, each poster retains the copyright to their own posts. This is because we can’t accept responsibility for what people post, but we can act on any rule breaks. Essentially, if someone was to say “XXX is a criminal”, we aren’t responsible legally - the poster is. We only are if it’s reported and not acted upon. So theoretically, if you are offended by Jim tweeting your posts - the responsibility is on you to chase him for copyright infringement, not us.

As the son of the author of this post, I’m all for him having a regular BRFCS podcast slot. “The view from the Forest Of Bowland” - I can see the feature now!

I’m very much against making BRFCS members only. It feels a massive waste to stop Rovers fans coming across the forum or restricting access for fans that read but don’t comment, just because a lollipop man from Preston talks badly about it on Twitter.

Well. We didn’t win. You know what that means...

Christmas in Essex for Dacky. Probably deserved it. That’s Christmas off he deserves, not the red.

It goes to matches played against each other, then if they’re drawn too, who scored most goals against the other, then to alphabetical, I believe...

This is not the usual opening post from opposition fans we are used to. What’s the catch?

Their keeper is fantastic!

Dack should be scoring that. You’ve got to wonder how on earth Nyambe and Rothwell aren’t the first names on the sheet. Nyambe especially, so athletic, strong, quick... and a natural right back.

Rothwell is terrifying to defend against. Head down, close control, running directly at defenders. Yes it doesn’t always pay off and he holds onto the ball too long, but it’s such a threat.

This isn’t something we have the infrastructure to set up so not something we can do - sorry!

Can we please start calling Lucash by his proper name?

Will you stop posting these threads which act as statements without any form of discussion please? This isn’t twitter.

There hasn’t been a single report of personal abuse in this thread. I’ve just seen Simons tweet saying he’s leaving the LET, which brought me to this thread - I’m now trailing through it to find any abuse, then get the context, then start issuing any bans. Please can we start reporting things that break forum rules? It’s so much quicker and easier.

I was sent it today - not sure where it’s from, suspect it isn’t true.
