2022/2023 Pre Season Thread
arbitro replied to MarkBRFC's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
They are in Scotland for the best part of a week and the likelihood is they will play a game in that time I have been told. -
The likes of Waggott wouldn't know 'thorough' if it bit him in the balls. I get the impression there is a culture of idleness amongst the senior managers down there. Take season tickets as an example. It appears that very little or no research was done amongst current and lapsed ticket holders. So they come up with a same price offer with a £30 extra charge for not renewing by a certain date. Then realisation kicks in, probably based on low sales and they extend the deadline and come up with an ingenious family ticket offer which is blown out of the water by similar Championship clubs. I used to think we were treading water with this lot. Now I believe we are drowning.

2022/23 Season predictions
arbitro replied to Upside Down's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
There are far too many variables right now to make a call on anything. Right now we have no manager, probably not enough decent players to put a team out and no real planning done amongst other things. Throw the incompetence of Waggott, Pasha and the owners and it doesn't paint a good picture. -
National league and North and South

Chorley have brought out a pre season shirt which is something I've never heard of. It's quite innovative really and for a non league club to think of it is a feather in their caps. -
Class from the Wales players and staff who went to the area where the Ukraine supporters were and applauded them for a couple of minutes.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/61681762 Real Madrid also have pertinent questions of EUFA around the organisation and policing in the CL final. And they confirm their fans were 'victims of said events' too dispelling the story that there was no trouble at the Madrid end of the ground.

He's isolating in one of the dungeons.😂😂 They seriously expected to believe guff like that though.

I don't know for sure but people closer to the organisation than me (who don't post on here) tell me he is second in the chain of command after the owners. I think Mowbray inadvertently confirmed this when he said he hadn't spoken direct to the owners for a considerable time but he had spoken to Pasha regularly. I'm also told that he is paid directly by Venkys. And we haven't even heard his voice.

I really enjoyed watching Ukraine tonight as they played some terrific stuff with Zinchenko absolutely outstanding. Some understandably emotional scenes as they celebrated at the end.

I was still an active referee when he was at Reading and came across him several times and he struck me as arrogant and entitled. When I was assessing I worked on some games with Mick McGuire who at the time was Deputy CEO of the PFA and had had many dealings with Pardew. His name came up in a conversation one day and Mick said "if he was made of chocolate he would eat himself". I always think of that quote whenever I hear mention of his name.

Is that fact of hearsay Tom? -

Looking at that picture could it be Tony Diamond? -
And there is the rub. We have had twelve years of incompetence, downsizing, failure and disappointment with this lot. Why would anybody believe that all of a sudden things are better? Nothing has changed - we are light years away from where we were when they took over and they haven't learnt anything in that time. Why would any self respecting manager want to work here after being interviewed by the likes of Waggott and Pasha? Reality took over with me ages ago and my faith in them is zero.

A pure guess would be Andy Kennedy.
