Why would it say a lot? We were willing to sell our best cb and captain on the cheap doesn’t mean they were poor players 

You saying Hull are as daft as we are?

Out of curiosity who is generous and why? All a game of opinions and context for me but would be interested to see what others think

my grading wouldn’t necessarily be based on their ability alone more coming into a shitshow and how I think they have performed 

Eh? How they have performed depends on their ability doesn't it?

Every pass is forward. It’s so simple. 

He's unique in English football.

Bristol City beat Boro 2-0 in their last game, not because Bristol were brilliant but because Boro were distinctly ordinary. Brittain in particular was nothing like the player he was for us.

He'll have something to prove in this game though.

If we have a good set of results leading up to boycott day then the protest will fizzle. too many fans can't see beyond thenext 90 minutes.

But there is a  de facto boycott  of sorts going on all the time. Crowds are shrinking, many saying they won't be renewing next season so those who are organising the boycott---take heart, we'll get there in the end, just don't know when and what the end will look like and what follows. 

Merry Christmas to all and thanks to all the workers who work so hard to keep the site going.

Its a pleasure to be part of it.

The boycott may not be successful but it has to be tried. In reality thousands have just got out of the habit of attending anyway and probably realised how much money they are saving on a lost cause.

It'll be joined by more over the summer when many don't renew. That is a boycott of sorts.

Sadly  it all seems to be leading to a tragic ending where  fans have to pick up the pieces and start all over again.

The only question for me is how many years of suffering do we endure till that happens. I don't think I have that many left!

Sad about that. On The Beach---great album.

There are two offside. I think the other is Ohashi

And Ohashi is more offside than Pape!

Stewards did threats that yesterday apparently.

So much for free speech! Not allowed at Ewood. I suppose someone with money could challenge that but most haven't.

Well that’s that. A bit of fight this time but the damage was done in the pathetic showing in the first 2 Tests

Jamie Smith must be the epitome of the  Bazball philosophy. Bashes the ball around like he’s playing in a one dayer then inevitably gives his wicket away. Does he realise it’s ok in test  cricket to be circumspect for a while and not every ball has to be lashed to the boundary?

McCullum,s a busted flush. Look forward to his resignation 

We showed in this test that we could play Test cricket. All we have to do now is to do it for 5 days.

Oh and learn to catch.

In Scotland maybe. 

We'll see I guess.

I doubt many, if any, five to six year old boys are actual fans of a specific club.

I was!

Who the hell is going to buy Gueye ?

He'd do well in League 1.

England have as many talented players as them

No Jim--we don't. Especially in the bowling ranks. 

Just not good enough are we? Wood is a sad loss but its like us relying on Carter.

Even our catching has been embarrassing compared to their's. We just don't have the same competitive instinct.

Some really good comments from Rovers fans in this article:

I hope they're not expecting their £200m back. 

Nobody is buying the club for that kind of money.

That's never coming back. The only thing that cheers me up about Rovers these days.

Amateurs seem to have taken over again. Totally inadequate preparation, (they knew best) and a basic failure to understand that there are 5 days in a Test match. Feel so sorry for the thousands of England supporters now stuck with a dead series.

It seems to me we can  now only play at home on our wickets.

Stop engaging then when the answers are all the same. Stick to those who want to make it work 👍🏻

Only way to deal with Chaddy is to ignore him.

Ewood Spark has thought the owners fantastic since day one… don’t be a trembler!

God, I remember him! wish I didn't.

protesting is more likely to make them dig their heels in. 

and not protesting will encourage them to sell I suppose? 

So what's your point----do nothing?

Another prick, let’s keep it positive and progressive and leave out the musings of the minority pond life !

Good comedy value surely?
