J*B

Anyone else completely astonished by the positive reaction to a player who is on face value: Unproven at this level Has had a major knee injury Has a 1 in 3 goal return in the Japanese league (has anyone ever watched it?) Potentially coming in to replace Szmodics..?

Paul assures me this is an innocent fluke, he likes the product, bought one and shared it. Which is fine. For the record, BRFCS and other Rovers ‘influencers’ where offered the opportunity to share these in return for money. We opted not to because we don’t believe (happy to be proven wrong) they’re licensed by ASICS.

These are unlicensed and - assuming he was offered the same deal as BRFCS was - Paul is being paid to post this. Please don’t purchase it or post similar knock off gear here.

You’re up next quarter, Islander. I want you to go on behalf of BRFCS, in your spare time, ask a question on behalf of every member that submits one, record the meeting and have it posted on here first thing the following morning as well as being available for a Q&A throughout the day for everyone.

Telalovic was playing German sixth tier - as I said at the time, its completely incomparable.

It will 100% get better. There's people that are interested in buying the club - if Venkys begin to engage with that discussion. It's simply a case of are you young enough to outlive Venkys ownership and exactly how damaged the club will be by the time it happens.

He used to post on his forum as Nicko.

I've watched a bit of him on YouTube and X this morning - looks technically good and can finish, but i'm extremely aware in every video I've watched he would have been crunched by a 6 ft 3 defender by the time he got the chance in the Championship.

I’m astonished this is being celebrated.

Here’s my starting point: All fan groups and communities unite and hand deliver a ‘demand for resignation’ on behalf of their membership, alongside a signed petition from any fan that doesn’t feel like they’re represented by a fan group, to Steve Waggott at Ewood. Stand in reception and refuse to leave until he personally accepts the paperwork.

It won’t.

If this post gets a significant amount of thumbs up we can trial it. Previously we’ve tried “links, but no discussion” and it never quite works. Perhaps “links and player discussion only”.

No one of any real ITK-ness, it’s some of the stuff I get regularly and used to share but now don’t bother. I’d take it with a pinch of salt, I just found it interesting two people said similar things within a few hours.

You reckon he knew, yeah?

…but this is an internet forum, the entire concept is based around discussion, speculation and rumour.

“Jon, recruitment are on the phone.” ”Yes.”

Agreed, one of my favourite periods of the year.

No idea why people are getting excited about Cooper, whether he signs or not. Leeds fans call him “League One Liam” because that’s his standard.

Big Ange please.

And it is, of course. Until you consider the huge impact which a successful football club - or at least one we're proud of - has to our small and in places extremely deprived town.

And BRFCS will fund a free to attend Rovers fan celebration at the Ewood Working Mens club.

It won’t happen, but it should. We’ve just had a full year with nobody to bring off the bench. I’ve seen enough of Garrett to confidentially say he will never make it here. Saying that, we’re on such a downhill spiral he probably will. A truly one dimensional footballer with extremely limited ability. Batty gets a chance every pre season and never takes it. He’s quick, that’s about it. Get rid for whatever pennies we can. Duru to my knowledge hasn’t played a season of men’s football. He cannot be considered to be reliable until he’s done that to some success. A loan to a L2 side would be great.

RE Chaddy’s question on squad, this is genuinely what I think we need to be competitive: GK: New, New, Michalski RB: Brittain, New CB: Carter, New, ORoirdon, New LB: New, Pickering, Gent CM: Travis, Tronstad, Buckley, JRC RW: New, Hedges CM: New, New LW: New, Gilsnan CF: New, New, Leonard, Tyjon That’s my 26 man squad. 12 new faces needed. All players with sub 1 year on their deal must be sold: Dolan, Hyam, Gallagher, Sigurdsson. Must be sold whilst value is high: Szmodics Sold to any bidder as proven not good enough: Vale, Markanday, Hilton, Garrett, Pears, Batty.

You’re not answering questions, you’re just saying words.

Great, so to go back to my question: Can you please give me something to be positive about Rovers for?
