    We are going down (the pessimism thread)

    Just chatting this through with @rog of the rovers to establish my coping strategy…

    I’m discounting Rovers & Wednesday…so 100% Rovers lose, 100% Wednesday don’t.

    This strips it down to 9 scenarios involving just Plymouth & Birmingham.

    Only 1 of those 9 sends Rovers down - both to win. 

    I fancy at least one upset…but I’m pinning my hopes on there not being two. I do expect us to drop into the bottom three during Saturday afternoon, if only because that’s what Rovers do to us…

    If I had to back a horse to stay up…I’d probably go with Plymouth to get something & remain above Birmingham. 

    You may use this in evidence against me at 2:30pm on Saturday…😳

    Seen a Facebook debate about this. Someone, claiming to be a qualified ref, is saying that it wouldn’t have been a foul if he had used his hands. The reason being is he made a genuine attempt to clear the ball, it then became a new phase of play and so he could legally have then used his hands. 
     

    Said person is claiming this is why the ref came and spoke with him after. Ie telling him he could have used his hands because he made a genuine attempt to clear. It was a bit unusual for the ref to speak with him at that point.

    Appreciate you reffed at the highest level. Is there anything in what our FB ref is claiming or is he talking nonsense?

    He could have handled it…😳

    It's an interesting take on it but in my view and my most recent knowledge of law then Pears would have been penalised for deliberately handling the pass to him irrespective of his swipe and touch of the ball. For the life in me I wouldn't consider that a new phase of play. I don't know for sure but I couldn't see the referee consoling him by saying he could have used his hands and prevented the goal. That would have made Pears feel even worse in my opinion.

    Didn’t the Forest keeper do that earlier this season? 🤔

    Surely you have family/friends in the area?

    Just to clarify…are you genuinely suggesting that I shouldn’t be able to buy a ticket for myself? 🤔

    It’s the 21st century…people no longer necessarily live near to their roots. People also support teams from parts other than their familial roots. If I (a Rovers supporter) can have a Sheffield postcode, it’s not a ridiculous notion that an away fan might have a Blackburn postcode.
