That *was* the January Window
MarkBRFC71 replied to Herbie6590's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
I mean if the EFL system is anything like Ticketmaster no wonder it went tits up. -
Went to see Depeche Mode a couple of weeks ago here in Munich at the Olympiastadion - absolutely brilliant. Second time seeing them - they actually just announced a new (arena rather than stadium) Euro leg of their tour so the third time is on the cards! Also bit the bullet and got tickets to see U2 at that new Sphere thing in Vegas in Oct - if you've not seen anything about that building look it up - it's unreal!

January Transfer Window.
MarkBRFC71 replied to Upside Down's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Having not lived in the UK since early 2016 I'm kinda glad I don't have to make a conscious decision to not go watch a team and club I used to be proud of, but that has steadily has become a shambolic, utter joke of an organisation. I'm back home in 2024 so I hope (but doubt) we will be at least respectable and moderately well run by then instead of this absolute shitshow we are right now. -

Saw IDLES a couple of weeks ago in Minneapolis (actually at First Avenue - where Prince did a lot of his early gigs and where good chunks of Purple Rain were filmed). Fantastic gig - not seen that much energy both on and off stage in a while. If you get chance to see them, take it - got some great songs, and love the juxtaposition between the ferocity of their songs and the message of unity and acceptance they deliver.

Quite flattering that the obvious highlight of his career appears to be scoring against Lancashire's Only Premier League Champions - I'm guessing nothing will change in the next 10 years to alter that either. Also, not sure why Nob End think they are suddenly our massive rivals?

Summer Transfer Window 2019

Can we still sign free agents? Maybe that's the plan - scrape the bottom of that barrel and see what turns up? -
Summer Transfer Window 2019
MarkBRFC71 replied to Neal's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Even if does happen he's on borrowed time with those CB options. Nyambe and Williams are not CBs, they're sticking plasters at best. So essentially we are left with 2 actual CBs - Lenihan (who is hit and miss at best) and Tosin (who we don't really know much about tbh). Piss poor as we've needed a good, starting CB since we got promoted (actually, probably before that) and TM has failed miserably every window since to sort it. -

They've already signed Frenkie De Jong .... -
So my gig record isn't going well - I had the Prodigy and Stones booked within two days of each other, but both sadly cancelled. Looks like I'm down to Macca in June and Noel G's HFB later in the year as it stands .....
-
Very sad to hear of Keith Flint's passing. Of the multitudes of gigs I've been to since, I still rank the Prodigy gig I went to at the Mcr Apollo in 1996 as the rowdiest, craziest night of them all - the entire place was bouncing, every person in the crowd was up for it and the band delivered an amazing gig. Sadly I booked tickets a couple of weeks ago to see them in Dallas in early May and was really excited for it - gutted that's now not going to take place. RIP.

Match Thread Rotherham away

A team with Rodwell and Mulgrew at centre half is going to concede 2 or 3 goals a game. It’s really that simple. -
The tea thread!
MarkBRFC71 replied to Proudtobeblue&white's topic in I Can't Believe It's Not Football
As a born and bred Lancastrian it pains me to say Yorkshire tea is the best bagged tea - however it's in very short supply in these coffee-centric parts. I am reliant on visitors and work colleagues shipping it in from the UK ..... managed to avoid any stock-outs so far in 3 years ? -
Age, injuries and he found his level in League One. Like several people have said a hundred times, CB should have been the number one transfer priority over everything else - last summer, but more than ever in January. Letting Downing go was stupid. Rodwell is no more a CB than Armstrong is. Lenihan is too inconsistent. Williams isn’t even a footballer. I’m sure a couple of the U23 lads couldn’t do worse than this shower.
