Side note, the Dingle Dome looked in good nick on TV.

They’ve both been here a while and are two very valued users. Exactly what this site should be, to be honest. I’d rather they hadn’t, but I hope they’re having a good day. Would love to buy them a drink one day.

I’m just hoping he can be VerySympatheticClaret when he logs back on at this stage.

Especially when our football team has performed like they did today!

The bare minimum is press and he’s incapable of even that. He does the classic ‘jog after the defender until he becomes the midfielders problem’. The sooner he’s found out and sold to Forest Green or something, the better.

Because he’s faster than Wharton, according to JDT. Absolutely nonsense. He may well be quicker but you can’t play one game in 8 months and walk into a game like that.

5 POINTS OFF 7TH! I’m going to set a bot that adds “but only five points off 7th” every single time someone posts “we are 3rd” on here.

It’ll be very very messy if the manager doesn’t play our best players in their correct positions. Feels like nobody at Ewood truly understands it or us. During Venkys reign of terror it’s been D or L in the Derby to the point I’m convinced they all just accept it. No standards. Anyone got Gregg Broughton’s email? I fancy giving him a piece of my mind.

Also, how much more up for it where they?

Big decisions all wrong. Terrible. Mola, Garrett, Vale… I don’t want to see any play for us again.

Clinton Mola responsible for two goals and the huge chance which Brittain stopped. This will take a lot of repairing, trust in JDT is currently at an all time low.

Horrific. And it falls down on JDTs head. Terrible management, a total misunderstanding of what is going on.

Jack Vale is nowhere near the standard required. He’s done nothing at all.

Terrible management if you ask me. Wrong team picked. Garrett especially should have been off at half time. Not convinced at all about inverted wing backs. Very unlucky to lose Gallagher but there’s no way Jack Vale should be on this pitch.

Garrett and Mola need to come off. I’m all for giving the kids a chance but a game like this needs an established head that isn’t fazed.

Morton being asked to do the Szmodics press from central midfield. Relies on Garrett or Travis being able to keep hold of the ball… which they cant. Mola not filling me with confidence either.

It can only be left back to counter their seriously quick wingers. I suspect Szmodics being injured has forced his hand in midfield, so he’s matched them. Kaminski Brittain Ayala Hyam Mola Travis Morton Garrett Hedges Gallagher Brereton. Nothing like I would have done, but that’s a team trying to win not contain them.

I’d be asking the pub to keep on top of the result and keep me updated for a tip! Hope Mrs Herbie enjoys her birthday. I’ve not slept, can’t eat and have been sat at the door since 07:15 ready to leave. I’ve been offered tickets to the game, but I can’t put myself through it. The local pub is showing it, but I know there’s Dingles in there and I can’t risk that if they win. So I’m travelling to Blues Bar safe in the knowledge that if the worst happens, I can drive back home straight away, lock the door, turn my phone off and stroke my dog all evening.

Still only 5 points away from being out the top six. We’ve been in better positions before and fallen way short.

I suspect it’s more a case of ‘he won’t kick up a fuss if the right offer for him doesn’t come in’ rather than ‘he wants to stay on’. If someone turns up with mega money and a huge opportunity he will throw his toys out the pram if we stop it. They all will.

I feel like I’m in the fecking twilight zone here!!

Monotone. Right good go.

Speculation time, but here’s my prediction. Twitters biggest problem is the users make more from adverting than the platform. There’s no way Musk will stand for that. Take Kim Kardashian, for example. Her fee to post about your brand is a million dollars and she’s said that before in public. Musk will use his tech / PayPal history to create a simple way for advertisers to pay influencers to tweet about their brand and the process will funnel everything through twitters revenue as well as a small commission. This will only be available to blue tick paying influencers. Eg: I want to sell BRFCS merch on Twitter. I log in to their “advertising” section, give them a budget and they suggest relevant blue-tick Twitter accounts who will promote my merch alongside their fees. I decide to go with David Dunn for £2,000 and Matt Jansen for £1,500 based on the amount of Rovers supporting followers they have. Twitter takes my £3,500, the revenue is funnelled through Twitter then both players are paid for the tweet minus a small commission. This would create - I suspect - Billions.

Not worth it, thanks but no thanks. Enjoy the game, stay safe, may the best team win.

History says it won’t. If they’re within touching distance and spend in January they’ll go up. Same applies for us, Sheff United, Norwich and the rest of them.
