Scottish window closes at 11pm

Definitely nothing happening

In old money it is now 13.37 on transfer deadline day. Nothing is going to happen is it?

Pasha being even more hated at 7.30pm is an evens bet... No SWAG or Chesterton fall guys this window.

Another extremely frustrating afternoon. Turned on McLoughlin misjudging a bouncing ball that should have been dispatched over the Riverside and our attack failing to punish the slowest defence to visit Ewood in years. Kargbo is either injured or he has lost his pace completely since the start of the season. Gueye has been flagged offside more often than he has had legitimate touches this season... Second half Norwich eased off and the 441 of Rovers had more than enough chances to punish them. Positives are Hedges continuing to play well and Cantwell again applying himself and looking class. Ryoyo brief cameo was promising and enough to get him a start ahead of Kargbo. Toth continues to look secure. Shame Ohashi drive from his own half drifted wide in the wind... Apart from one baffling decision late in the second half thought we finally had an ok ref officiating irrespective of what Rovers TV rabbited on about.

People saying the Board are smashing it are absolutely correct. Smashed the squad that came 7th Smashed the club that Jack built. Smashed the town of Blackburn...

If the singles are to stay up, they need 3 points at Old Triffid today.

Thanks. I distinctly recall Ronnie recounting playing against Pele.

Ronnie Clayton played against Pele at the 1958 World Cup.

The other win was away in the Carabao at Watford

Michalski and/or Goddard if Toth gets injured. And there are other youngsters who could progress as the season develops.

We could get two fees- one for Pears and one for his hair

Yes, he should be Eiderson

Yes there is a striker in Harry Leonard but in the few appearances I saw of him he was the easiest forward I can recall seeing for a Championship defender to legitimately ease off the ball. Hope they serve a lot of spinach in the Peterborough canteen... Very surprising 1m coming in for him- not on my bingo card for the end of the transfer window. But the problem is my bingo card is jammed in the fax machine.

I just wrote it for an irritating giggle

Waiting to see if Hamrun Spartans draw Palace. First time ever a Maltese club has made it to European Group stages.

I believe he had an op in Switzerland, the deal was done when it was known the op was a success and he might be available after the international break.

Not taking that much notice but I thought I saw Ismael quoted on Wednesday as saying two more signings was the objective. We are reaching the point where PL clubs finalise their squads and decide which players they are loaning out.

Doesn't look like he is wanted even in Saudi Arabia...

Jack had already converted the debt to equity before he passed away.

So we think the case was heard today but we all missed it?

Norwich are weird. Lost all 3 home games including a 3-0 reverse home to Southampton two days ago But Won both away games by 2-1 at Portsmouth and Watford....

Travis was a very competent defensive midfielder and reliable yellow card collector who is the sort of player oppositions prefer not to come up against. A great servant of the club but at his age time to cash in from football while he still can. Good luck to him. In the cold world of money, he is worth more to Derby than he is to Rovers. As someone else posted, Adam Wharton was a kick in the balls of every Rovers supporter. This is business.

Bit miffed Wrexham didn't steal in. So we are looking for two more signings apparently. Obviously won't talk about a striker because RG won't want it thrown back it him when we fail. The lack of loan players at Ewood could paradoxically make us look very attractive for a Prem club with a young striker they desperately want to see getting game time.

The current BBC text coverage of Kairat V Celtic in the Champions League preliminary is a master piece of extremely inconvenienced and bored reporting from Almaty on the near 200 minutes of really bad 0-0 "football". When it goes to penalties, sounds like they will need to take 20 each before anyone hits it towards goal...
