We don’t mind the trilby.

It’s not really about what you’re like, it’s more to do with the financial situation which most people in Blackburn find themselves in means paying monthly is the only viable way to get a season ticket because they can’t have £300+ leave their back account in one month.

Wow - the kiss of death from Chaddy is decent enough evidence that the tide may be turning...

Lowlights*

Said it before, I’ll say it again. He’s been here too long and has too many relationships to start making the big changes which he needs to do. The big signings he’s made haven’t worked or had enough impact. He will he remembered for finding room for Bennett, continuing with Evans, 2.5 attackers plus Gallagher and Brereton. Sad really, but this ends with him either being sacked or leaving with us essentially, no different to where we are now.

Good news! BRFCS has partnered with TheTerraceStore.com until the end of the season. As partners, all BRFCS members and podcast listeners will get access to an exclusive discount on their site - which sells retro football memorabilia. We've previously rejected sponsorship from numerous suppliers (vaping companies, gambling companies) but have chosen to partner with theterracestore.com because we truly love their products and hope you do too. If you are a customer, please make sure you enter our discount code - “BRFCS”. Not too much will change for you - you'll notice our logo now includes a direct link to their website and our homepage now features their products. As well as this, high traffic threads (match threads, transfer threads) will be brought to you through sponsorship from TheTerraceStore and you'll see advertising from them on this threads. Our podcasts will also include advertising from them too. As part of the deal, we will have exclusive discounts, offers and giveaways which we will keep you aware of via the podcast and the advertising in threads. As BRFCS is not for profit and all volunteers work for free to keep the site up, the funds raised will be spent on either advertising or upkeep costs. Thanks. ?

Means and ways to watch this if you’re struggling...

The result? The gap widens even more between the best and the rest. Only City qualify, the other top 4 take a huge hit and all the best players have the choice between essentially, Barca, City, Juve or Bayern. Only those four clubs can pay the best wages. They win their leagues every single year because they have the biggest budgets and attract the best players. The CL is competed every year by four clubs because commercially they are light years ahead of everyone else. The national leagues are boring as sin because nobody can get close to the CL clubs. Terrible idea.

For what it’s worth, you voted bad!

I don’t see it as disrespectful, but I’ve changed it for an easy life.

Second one is Coventry. First one Celtic.

History repeating itself.

It can be done, and without the negative emojis there’s no reason why not. I would need to try find out how though.

Mulgrew, a Celtic fan and potentially considered a legend at the club, wanted to move to Rangers?

They don’t play, they do formation work. They play with massive pauses, often all leaving the pitch, reviewing a video then going back on. To be fair they often change the team based on the final session.

433, so... Canadian JRC Nyambe Tosin Cunningham Evans Buckley Rothwell Chapman Gallagher Brereton maybe.

Could be 442 with Chapman and Rothwell wingers, Brereton and Gallagher upfront. Guessing formations!

They played against: Canadian JRC Nyambe Tosin Cunningham Evans Buckley Chapman Rothwell Brereton Gallagher Im told...

First 11 that trained formations today... Walton Bennett Lenihan Williams Bell Johnson Travis Armstrong Dack Downing Graham

Unpin time...

Because his wage is split 50/50 between coaching and playing. It’s a way to avoid FFP. They did the same with Ashley Cole.

Clarification of the Moderation For those feeling unjustly treated, let's try and make things more transparent. Issue 1: Keeping Threads on Topic This is to enhance the enjoyment of everyone using and reading the forum. If you're in the transfer thread, it's about transfers only. It's not about Tony Mowbray (that's the TM thread), it's not about the quality of opposition in the pre-season friendlies (that's the Pre-season thread), it's not about where the signings will play in the first game (that's the Charlton match thread) etc. etc. Yes, there may be a bit of crossover from time to time, but if everyone tries to keep discussions to the relevant threads, chances are the Mods won't intervene. Issue 2: Opinions always being linked to persons or groups. Example - "I think Ben Brereton is useless, will not be a success at this club, and won't get over 10 goals in any season." = No problem, that's a personal opinion. Example - "I think everyone that thinks BB can get double figures is an idiot, and knows nothing about football." = Problem. Not just a personal opinion, attacking others for their opinions. Issue 3: Moderation Mods are here to try and make the messageboard run smoother for everyone. If you feel harshly treated don't spam the threads with it, DM someone in the Mod team, or address it in the Ask a Question section. Some-one will try their best to answer your queries. It's been said before but needs saying again, Mods also get involved in the general forum chat, and have opinions too. That is separate from their Moderation duties. If you don't like a Mod's opinion, deal with it like you would any other poster within the forum rules. If you don't like a Mod's actions in their responsibilities and duties, deal with it using the options listed above. Final Note: The last month or so has been a bit testing on the board. Not much football happening to discuss, and not as much transfer activity happening as most would like (particularly in the areas of the pitch most would like). But tomorrow, the football kicks off again, and we'll all have some different topics to moan or cheer about. We know it can frustrating for posters to get warnings, bans, and have some of their posts deleted. If everyone tries to stick to the rules - particularly keep to the right threads, and not make things personal - then I think the Mods would have to intervene a lot less,and you would see less bans, and fewer posts going AWOL. Have a good weekend everyone, and here's to a very rare and long forgotten opening day of the season win tomorrow
