v Ipswich Town (h) - Good Friday, 29/3/24, 17:30

Surely to God, but knowing us we’ll have forgotten to add a clause in the loan deal forbidding him to play against us! -
Pasha masks on for the Ipswich game.
martonrover replied to lraC's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
I will buy five, but can’t attend due to work, (normal day on the railway). The only form of protest still ongoing is to stop attending. In a few years time the only folk going will be the happy clappers, and the club motto will change to whatever the Latin is for “We deserve this”. -

martonrover replied to lraC's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Unfortunately, the supporters sitting near the directors seats are amongst the least likely to join in with any protest, in fact they will most likely have the same mentality as the people who sit behind me , (who claim the protestors are “brain dead “). I think the Pasha mask idea is a good one, but it doesn’t look as if it’s going to fly. He is definitely the one who needs to be targeted, one way or another. Sadly, there just isn’t enough stomach for a fight. -

A statement to get the Facebook crew creaming their pants. The bit about Eustace is particularly laughable. As if they even have a clue who he is. -

Agreed. Suhail is the nearest thing to the owners based over here. Waggott is a slimy toad, but Suhail is the one we should be going after to make his life uncomfortable. -

The CEO is very experienced at wrecking football clubs. I agree with @J*B, though. The only person with any real clout based at the club ,(albeit unofficially), is Pasha. The Raos seemingly trust him, hence nothing changes, apart from the occasional shuffling of deckchairs. -

I agree. Hired goons. Suhail Pasha, aka the invisible idiot. -

So why leave them in post? They either never learn or just don’t care. My 50P is on the latter. -

Is the serial f*cking up / sabotaging of transfers part of the plan to get the club back to the Prem? The only Prem we might get to under Venkys / Pasha / Waggott is the Northern Premier League. -

…….therefore it does have consequences. -

martonrover replied to tomphil's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
That is interesting, because I had been thinking along the same lines as @miqaayil. Whatever we do in England won’t even register on the Raos’ radar. Would an Indian media outlet possibly entertain an advert which is polite, eg asking them to put the club up for sale? If not, the only form of protest that will eventually have consequences is to stop attending home games. To that end, I will not be renewing my season ticket. -

martonrover replied to tomphil's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
I think Jackson is a Sheff Weds supporter. To be fair, Eustace has been making that point since his arrival. I guess the chant from yesterday, (“I don’t care about Venkys”), is a bit of a compromise to draw all factions within the fan base together, but it’s a bit too tame for me. -
John Eustace - our head coach
martonrover replied to chaddyrovers's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Doesn’t sound great, does it, but our heads are still above water, and at least we appear to have the stomach for a fight. To be honest, a few weeks ago I thought we’d had it. Now, I’m ever so slightly more hopeful. -
John Eustace - our head coach
martonrover replied to chaddyrovers's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Negative : Still to win a game Positive : Eustace has demonstrably made us harder to beat. Still has it all to do to keep us up, but tightening things up has at least laid a foundation stone. -

martonrover replied to tomphil's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Seriously, why don't they at least attempt to sell us? The only innocent explanation is pride, but that really isn't the likely reason. -

Now that is a cap that fits him perfectly. He is a classless, horrible toad who should be nowhere near the corridors of power at Blackburn Rovers. -

It's not an excuse, it's a fact. How was JDT doing under the same circumstances? Just as badly over a sustained period of time. I also stated the omens don't look good, but it is too early to cast judgement and to be slaughtering the guy.- 3276 replies

martonrover replied to tomphil's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
I know the omens aren’t great, but it’s too soon to write Eustace off as a failure. The task of keeping us up may well prove to beyond him, but it would be a struggle for any head coach under our circumstances. We are an absolute mess. -

I read a tweet from a supporter last week which stated we can’t expect to be in the Championship with our attendances. The meek acceptance makes you sick. -
v Middlesbrough (a) - 16/3/24

I know what you mean but, purely in terms of the table, it was the best possible result I agree that it’s hard to see us getting anything on Saturday, though. -
v Plymouth Argyle (h) - 09/03/2024
martonrover replied to Upside Down's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
It’s too early to make a judgement on Eustace, but JDT wasn’t “poor”, but very stubborn, and I do agree that he had lost interest and should’ve been relieved of his duties sooner. It would take a highly skilled operator to get a tune out of this bunch of misfits, and a troubleshooter appointment was needed to give us a chance of staying up this season. It doesn’t look as if Eustace will fit the bill, but it ain’t over until it’s over. Neither are / were “managers” and that is significant in terms of player recruitment. -

martonrover replied to Upside Down's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Wonder if the Roda JC fans thought that the season he took them down? JDT takes some responsibility, as will Eustace, but the squad is shockingly bad, and neither of them can be blamed for that. Everyone from Broughton upwards is culpable. -

martonrover replied to Upside Down's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Two wins in almost half a season's worth of games does not constitute being in deep shit? Waggott's been passing the Kool-Aid round again. Is it medication time yet?
