He is a Select Group One referee and they predominantly operate on the PL. Similarly Select Group Two are Championship referees although both groups are contracted to work on Leagues One and Two when required. -

Keith Stroud has been replaced by Robert Jones as todays referee. -
Being ambitious and wanting the absolute best for something that is hugely important to most of us is being entitled now. And that is from one of our own supporters. Some will shrug their shoulders and accept anything without dissent. They must be the 'real fans' I hear about.

Metropolitan Police have issued an appeal for ten men who went missing for 45 minutes this evening. The men, all dressed in blue and white shirts later mysteriously reappeared and seemed unharmed. A spokesman said "It was almost like they had been abducted by aliens as they disappeared without trace".

That is bang on. Mistakes are made and supporters latch onto this and convince themselves the referee is cheating. There are lots of reasons for mistakes and one of them is that some referees just are good enough for the standard of football they officiate in. If I had a fiver for every time I have been called a cheat I would be voting Tory 😂😂😂😂 -

You have clearly made your mind up that some English referees have been bribed (and biased) so it's pointless trying to convince you otherwise. -

I can tell you with certainty that in 15 years as a Football League, Premier League and International official I was never approached to favour a certain team. That includes playoff matches worth a lot of money to the winning clubs. And I was never remotely aware that any of my close colleagues or even other referees had been approached. I had complete trust in them and if there had been anything underhanded it would have been reported. I can only speak for English referees. -
Hypothetically (with a capital H) if the owners are ahead of the curve there should be a new manager in situ to start work immediately after the Birmingham game. We are entering a crucial time when plans ought to be in place for pre season training, signing new players, selling players and a host of other things which usually go on in the background but need to be planned well ahead. Personally I have no faith in these people to do the right thing for Rovers and I envisage turmoil once again.

Crooked? -
Whilst I want Mowbray gone I can't help but feel more anger and disdain for these wretched owners for the way he has been treated. I think he has seen the writing on the wall and done this interview to at least go with some dignity and not give them the satisfaction of just letting his deal run down with no idea of what was happening. For it to be a few months before his contract ends and no indication of what is happening is another damning indictment on the people we have running our club. Heaven help his successor. FOV.

Are you saying he has cheated to assist Bournemouth wins? Fulham have a 0% win rate with Stroud this season - should Fulham complain about that? -

It's absolute nonsense and insulting to suggest that Keith Stroud will favour Bournemouth in any way, shape or form. He might not be the best in somebody's view, get things wrong but questioning his integrity is simply wrong. -
Look just above the Rovers players huddle for a cheeky 'v' sign to the Nobbers fans from one of our players.

arbitro replied to Tim Southampton Rover's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
For anybody in need of a football fix on Bank Holiday Monday Darwen are playing the Isle of Man in the First Division Cup quarter final. The game is at the Anchor with a 13.45 kick off. -
Did anybody else notice the signal from one of our players to the Nobbers fans? It's funny because I thought it was the first not second goal.

Wilder got huge praise for the inventive way he played at Sheffield United but ultimately left the job. It's the nature of the business and anybody accepting a managers role knows this. And besides the are extremely well renumerated.

The Craven Heifer on Pole Lane normally run a bus. Just call the pub and ask if Shaun is running a coach. -

I used to joke with Faz that he nearly got a few Rovers fan's killed because of that goal. I had to explain to him why but anybody there that night will understand. He found it funny at first, by the tenth time I told him he was bored 😂😂 -
A good manager would deflect any perceived pressure on to himself away from the players. This bloke keeps heaping it back to the players by talking about it in lots of interviews. It's strange he didn't mention it when we won ten in eleven earlier this season.
-
I was going to try and have a couple of Mowbray free days but after just seeing his interview I feel narked. He refers to pressure again and the players not handling it too well over recent months. He really should look in the mirror as, based on the evidence of the last five years he doesn't handle pressure too well. His death spirals (of which he has overseen several) are real evidence of this.
-
Well, well, well. Where did that performance come from? On the evidence of the last couple of months I doubt anybody, including Mowbray and the players, was that coming. It was full of intensity, pride, purpose, attacking and positive play, four qualities we have been glaringly lacking for some time. I'm still glowing from the performance but as the players came over at the end I couldn't help thinking that tonight could have been a promotion party and what a way to have done it. Highlight of the game for me was the goal from Travis. The pass to him, his touch and finish made me happier than I've been for a while at a game. It changes nothing for me though in my thoughts and opinion of Mowbray and his staff. Throw Waggott and the owners into that too but for the next couple of days I'm going to bask in what I thought was the performance of the season.

Who hasn't been poor since February?

As I said it's to the detriment of the team.

Another pearler is that if you used the direct debit scheme then you have paid more than you would have done had you bought individual match tickets.
