And so far today those two must be thinking why would I sign a new deal. A good manager and coaching staff would improve those two considerably and we just haven't got that.

Sad news about the Accrington Football League which has ceased to be in existence. I think I have read posts on here which make fond references to it. http://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/sport/14666139.Final_whistle_for_amateur_football_league/

Sad news indeed Andy. If I remember correctly he was Blackburn born and bred and lived in Mill Hill. Memories of him as a player are sketchy but I do recall him being sent off in an FA Cup replay at Altrincham which was played on a midweek afternoon. Condolences to his family.

Moving Coyles ego and head in?

ITV4 did a really nice piece at the end of their TdF highlights programme this evening. It was all Chris Boardmans own words and was quite moving. RIP.

Quite extraordinary watching Chris Froome run up part of Ventoux and then be given a neutral bike with a different pedal to his cleats. Still as you say common sense prevailed and everybody seemed happy. Richie Porte looks really good and with some luck could really challenge.

Are you really comparing Coyle and Lambert as managers? Or are you forgetting who brought Irvine and Kelly in? Pretty sure they must have held Lambert in high regard to come here in the first place. I think you are making a mistake if you are being taken in by Coyles 'positivity'.

Ah but I can hear the people who want to give him a chance saying 'what do the Americans know about football'? Didn't the Bolton fans nickname him clueless and the comments from Dave Whelan are similar to the Houston supporters comments. The man is a bullshitter and has blagged his way into jobs and (with one exception) crashed and burned. His interviews are full of superlatives (he likes the word magnificent), something that makes me wary straight away.

Chris Neville was there under Bowyer when we had probably the most unfit side in years. If the manager takes a hard line regime players will follow. If Coyle wants to be one of the boys like Bowyer ill discipline will follow.

I certainly won't be giving him any stick because I won't be anywhere near Ewood on match days to do this. I implore all like minded Rovers fans to do the same and simply not renew their season tickets.

Reports of six Rangers players and staff having received medical attention after being assaulted by Hibs fans on the pitch. Absolutely shocking scenes and no deserved lap of honour for Hibs.

A ridiculous piece of fixture planning once again. London to Accrington on Good Friday and similarly Southend were at Rochdale, Wigan at Swindon, Wimbledon at Hartlepool, Carlisle at Yeovil and Crawley at York. My sympathy however goes to Plymouth and their fans who didn't make it to Morecambe. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-devon-35903342 The Football League should be brought to book by their member clubs for their complete disregard for supporters.

Hypothetically how many of the 1-0 defeats we have had under Lambert do you think would happen if we had to play them with our current team? I think we would have got nine points from the Bolton, Reading, Cardiff and Brighton games.

I often hear football fans say 'it's the worst decision I have ever seen' but for me this definitely is. I have been involved on football a long time and try to be pragmatic and see things from both sides but there is absolutely no defence for this. And the referee cannot be punished from the match assessor because in Law he was correct. I really hope it doesn't come back to bite Accrington in the promotion campaign.

I think JAL thought you were referring to a player called Moon. I thought our two centre backs were impressive and may follow in the footsteps of Hanley, Jones and O'Connell in having decent careers. There was a good pace and intensity to the game and Luton played their part.

You have to be nearer to the goal line than the ball to be offside. The number of opponents and where they are is immaterial. That is why you can't be offside from a corner because the ball cannot go forward.The vast majority of penalties have, one way or another players who don't respect being the required distance away from the ball. When was the last time you saw a retake for this?

Suarez could only be offside if he was closer to the goal line than the ball i.e. ahead of the ball. He has to be behind the ball at the taking of a penalty and 9.15 metres away (as have all the players). This makes it impossible to be offside.

I saw Sterling play tonight and think how much money he went for and he is not fit to lace Duffs boots. One of only a few who generated genuine excitement when he got the ball.

The word is they took no prisoners. The word is they took no prisoners.

I am surprised Rovers allowed him to become cup tied or is it a season long loan?

It's just bone idle, lazy journalism. These myths were perpetuated by his spin machine and idle journalists just believe it. I would love for some English club to take a punt on the c*** and watch him gloriously fail.

Bowyer answered your question only recently. http://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/sport/13900054.Gary_Bowyer_not_prepared_to_rush_Blackburn_Rovers_youngsters_into_first_team_squad/

I might be wrong but I seem to recall a debate I had with you where you said you wouldn't have any of the younger players in the first team squad. I think Nyambe was at the heart of the discussion. What has changed your mind? Apologies if it wasn't you as my memory isn't what it used to be.

He was perfect for us at the time and allowed us to be proud of our club again with his achievements. Hopefully he has already met up with his great friend Mick Heaton and they are sharing great memories.

I agree and not having a clue what is going to happen and feeling helpless is the real worry and source of frustration. I think that the longer they take this stance and keep the current incumbents at Ewood the fall will be much harder.
