Very good point unfortunately!

On the stats we are totally dominating this.

Ifollow now saying there is no stream for this game after I logged out and logged back in. Have checked and they have not taken payment and not emailed a receipt after having indicated on screen they had.

Somebody sent off, somebody scored?

Now the website is saying there isn't a match pass available for this game but is also showing: Blackburn at Middlesbrough on Dec 8, 2018 €6.00 8-Dec-2018 14:55 Yes

I can see they have taken payment.

Anyone else just getting a black screen and no audio?

Do we know how close to fitness Davenport is?

Had to check the thread title- yep his is about welcoming Venky's. Completely split. Seven years of hell morphing into a year of eminent good sense with a backdrop of funding in a way that Rovers are unlikely to face administration or any more FFP trouble. Got a feeling we will discover we are in a division where it is hell to get out in the right direction but all too easy to crash out of through the trap door. With the passage of time anger at the way our secure Premier League status was frittered will only mount regardless of model guardianship now.

Agreed Saxton did an excellent job in increasingly challenging circumstances.

Great preview. I resisted jumping in to fulfil the void as I jinx the result whenever I do! We have had some great results up there (thinking of an out of the blue 5-1 win) but the Riverside stadium has not been a particularly happy hunting ground. Saw extended highlights of Boro 0 Villa 3 and Boro got very lucky not to lose by more- a lot more. Which is astonishing considering they had only let in 12 all season before that game. They don't score many either. Boro got to be favourites but Rovers certainly have a decent chance. One thing we can be confident of is Mowbray's preparation will be thorough. We will have to see if the team are on the same page.

I remember this. The only reason Jim Iley was displaced by Kean as my all time worst Manager of Rovers is that Iley was demonstrably not corrupt.

So you agree with Biz 100%

1-2. Broke my heart as a 10 year old.

Good match to judge our progress by. The way Newcastle play should create an ideal platform for Dack to measure himself also.

Got a feeling we are going to get a stinker of a draw. Palace or QPR away....

As I understand it as soon as we all welcome 1st January 2019, Ben will be a Rovers player. That's the deal. Great shame he has had two offside goals chalked off but I don't think he is another Corado Grabbi.

Just glad we are still in it. ??

That shows there was no reason to rule out Dack's goal before Graham got the first. The commentary says Wednesday escaped with one there.

Dack showed v Sheffield Wednesday what a fabulous player he is. Excellent link up play in several moves and involvement in all four goals.

They started with the Rovers duo but switched to the Wednesday commentary in the first minute.

There I was feeling sorry for myself because I was flying when the PNE and Wigan games were played.... Great bounce back by Rovers, some beautiful play going forward and chuffed to bits for Danny Graham.

Not feeling terribly well. Thought drugs were affecting me when I saw it- then I realised I am not on any drugs!

Yes you are right.

PNE pulled themselves out of relegation bother with a really good run (W2 D3 in last 5). I see this as a weather vane fixture- one we need to win if we are going to get into the play off mix at the end of the season. All about character and there is no doubt Rovers are now no longer lacking in that regard. Feeling optimistic but don't want to jinx it. Great preview!
