I seem to remember that Salgado offered to remove the clause to help the team fight relegation. But that lot didn't want to know.

That's alright but whose pies are they selling? 😁😁😁

Selfish bastards Fulham. Not letting us win so he could have taken us to the highest position we have been under the cretin. Cudda, wudda, shudda.

I think somebody with some brain cells at Ewood (it's a small pool I know) has had a word with him to point out the stupidity of his post. I now await a mealy mouthed press release........ Edit: And wasn't it Mowbray (as an employee of Rovers) who essentially kept Dack out of jail when he gave him a character reference after Dack couldn't be arsed doing his Community Service? He owes Rovers a lot more than we owe him and then he acts so disrespectfully.

I'm so angry at these two clowns particularly Dack. He has been injured for the best part of two years and in that time got a new deal and the unwavering support of the club and the fans. And he likes the content of a post on social media from an opponent celebrating our highest ever home league defeat. That is an insult to every Rovers fan, particularly the ones who endured that humiliation. It's simple from my perspective. Apologise or fuck off.

That is awful and so disrespectful. Dack, Butterworth and any other Rovers player who likes somebody glorifying in a humiliating night for Rovers can fuck off. I would rather have youth team players representing us than them idiots.

I wasn't really going to criticise the players but that was shocking defending from Van Hecke. His positioning and body shape in the incident are like something you would see at Pleasington on Sunday mornings. A clear red card and three game ban. And Mowbray had the temerity to bemoan the potential lack of defenders for Saturday.

Two relegations, shipping seven goals three times, a lost 10000, our lowest ever league position, made dozens of people rich, sold part of Jack's legacy, ground in disrepair and many, many other serious failings. A promotion from the old Third Division. I put this because someone described the last decade as a rollercoaster ride. I have never seen a rollercoaster that just plummets. And the really sad part is that some are still grateful to them.

Yep. Who will interview any potential new managers? Waggott and Cheston? The fat Venky? Do me a favour. The last ten years have been awful but I really feel there is worse to come.

The story goes that after losing 7-1 to Man Utd Venkys were that embarrassed in front of their Indian guests they sacked Allardyce. I don't know if that's true but tonight was far more embarrassing although I doubt they even knew we were playing let alone getting humiliated on Sky. The whole club needs an exorcism to rid us of the people who have ruined a fantastically run club, a proud club who could mix it with the big boys. FOV and take the whole lot with you.

I should feel angry right now but I don't. This has been coming for some time now and is a new low for this club of ours which has been systematically dismantled in a decade to leave a shell of what it was. We had first rate, top class everything until they showed up. Now we have nothing, no assets, a crumbling, decaying infrastructure and we have had second rate managers, Chief Execs and all kinds of shysters foisted upon us. And still people talk about them like they are our saviours. I had to put a lad straight coming home who was praising them saying about the money they are putting in, where would we be without them and all the guff that sometimes gets posted on here. Of course Mowbray and his imposters should be sacked right now but we will still be left with the real poison, a poison that has all but killed our club. I the the day they darkened our door.

And I think lots of their players have played for clubs in the North. Blimey Mitrovic is a Serbian and they do breed tough guys.

I don't know if anybody remembers the Warby Boys. They gave themselves that name because the stood under the Warburtons sign on the Embankment at Burnden. That night they were out in force hitting anybody who they thought was from Blackburn. A group of them chased me and a mate all the way up Manchester Road and we reached the sanctuary of the train station shaking and dishevelled. Usain Bolt wouldn't have caught us that night😆😆. The sting in the tail for me was that my elder brother, no doubt in relief to see me in one piece whacked me on the station platform for being a dick and getting chased.

What a great listen - thanks Andy. It's a very open, honest account from Mark without any embellishments as any Darreners know. It was also quite poignant when he spoke about his dad and his passing. I remember his mum, dad and brothers and they were a proper working class family, something Mark has never forgotten. I hope the book sales do him proud.

So as we are expecting several thousand Yorkies on Saturday I wonder if Rovers will have a temporary erection (ooh er missus) or something to sell beer and the like to them. Surely there's a massive opportunity here. I won't hold my breath though.

I'm with you. I never saw a player in there apart from rare flashes but he has (I'm happy to say) proved me wrong. And to support our opinion I heard at weekend that he has scored more goals as Brereton-Diaz than he did as plain old Brereton. What's in a name eh?

That's some preview and standard to set. 😁😁 It's another tough fixture on the back of Fulham against a team who are physical to align with skill. I think we'll get a point after a defeat on Wednesday. Edit: I have just seen that the appointed referee for this game is Oliver Langford. That won't mean much until I say he had us against Luton recently and put in arguably the worst refereeing performance at Ewood for some time. It culminated with a dying swan act in stoppage time when he went down injured. I really hope he isn't as bad on Saturday.

The fans or the club?

It really is a simple job to employ a marketing consultancy firm for a week or two to get some answers. Clearly there is a cost associated to this but surely it would be money well spent for the club to find out and perhaps use the answers positively. When you consider the money wasted on the failed sale of the STC it's another example of the poor leadership down there. Or, more likely Waggott doesn't care and is happy to blame Covid.

Please don't take this personally but what has prompted you to go? I think for fans who are going for the first time this season there should be a follow up call from the club to ask that very question. Then at least there could be proof of why our crowds have dropped alarmingly.

I actually predicted at half time that Carter would come on to make it five at the back. I based that on the previous games when he has done it this season and it has failed. I think that Rooney's changes at half time was something that Mowbray just didn't react to. Derby's change of shape should have been countered with a change in our shape but we seemed content to play a lot deeper and let Derby come at us.

It's another three points but once again with a two goal lead we were nearly Mowbrayed*. The first half was so comfortable as we bossed the game and were better than Derby in every position. A three or four goal lead would have been a fair reflection on the game at half time but the group I go with and many around us spoke about our fragility when being two up. And so it passed that our reservations were right. The game turned on its head, Kazim-Richards got amongst us and, had Derby scored earlier I'm certain we would have drawn or even lost. As it was they nearly got a draw anyway. I don't know what happens when we go into a two goal lead and then go negative and defensive but it's happened too many times and it appears that Mowbray can't fix it and is actually part of the problem. Had we not got three points today it would have been criminal but we were so close to dropping points. I thought Lenihan was terrific today, one of his best performances in a Rovers shirt. For the rest it was another game of two halves ranging from very good in the first half to poor in the second. We got away with one today, in future we might not be so lucky. * Moybrayed is the new term for throwing or nearly throwing a two goal lead away.

Come on Rev, you make it sound like their awful stewardship is something new. They have been doing it for nearly eleven years now and in my view this shows no sign of abating. You seen to have some trust and faith in them and, as your recent posts indicate you think they are on the cusp of major change and, hey presto things are magically back to pre 2011 days. My gut tells me they will never change. I will never forgive and never forget what they have done to our club.

According to this article Rovers are one of the more expensive season tickets in the Championship but that excludes several clubs who hadn't issued prices at the time the article was printed. https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/championship-season-tickets-cheapest-expensive-24279478

In a perverse way Covid has been a screen for Waggott to hide behind. It's given him something to blame for his failings although the blessing of furlough must have saved him a significant chunk of money. Rovers are bucking the trend here. The majority of clubs are getting increased or similar gates to pre Covid times. His poor stewardship of our club should really grate with every Rovers fan but somehow I doubt it.
