With Sheffield United winning they draw level on points with that lot but have an inferior goal difference. If Everton best Chelsea tomorrow they will be seven points ahead of them and they play each other next Saturday.

Or don't buy tickets for away fans in home areas. The responsibility lies with the idiot who bought them.

But it shouldn't happen and somebody could get hurt. If any Rovers fans have bought those tickets for the three Leeds fans they should be banned.

Summed up perfectly.

I noticed some fighting in the corner of the Riverside followed by a few ejections. It's crazy to me that some Rovers fans will jeopardise other supporters safety.

The perspective I meant was how much the Leeds team cost against ours. They have parachute payments and in August could afford to turn down a near £19m offer for Gnonto. Leeds weren't great because we didn't allow them to be. For long periods we were their equal and at times better. You are correct about having your right to an opinion but others have too.

As I said everyone is entitled to their opinion but your assertion of not playing very well puts you in a minority. I dislike losing but surely there has to be some perspective in anybody's opinion.

Rovers fans buying tickets for Leeds fans in home areas? That contravenes the ticketing regulations and in the past I think Rovers have banned supporters for doing this. It is irresponsible and simply shouldn't happen. You are right about it being difficult for the club but the Rovers fans doing it are bang out of order.

Each to their own but there is very little of your post I agree with. In fact you have decimated pretty much the whole team.

I thought we played well today and against a lesser team would have won. Leeds are a good side with pace in their front three which was one of the reasons they beat us in my opinion. We played some good stuff with Adam Wharton as the fulcrum of these moments as we matched them for long periods. We seem to be punished for mistakes at the moment and a sloppy pass from Tronstad gave them the ball and Hill should have done better. From my position we should have had a clear penalty for a foul on Garrett and the well positioned referee quickly turned it down, far too quick in my view. Why on earth would Garrett to down when he is about to shoot? I couldn't see the handball from my seat but the players were vociferous in their protests. For some perspective they bring two substitutes on who they paid £25m for. We have on our bench kids with single digit or no first team appearances.

Tomasson is banned from the Technical Area tomorrow. Where have you seen this?

https://www.rovers.co.uk/news/2023/december/08/cambridge-cup-tie-confirmed/ Rovers FA Cup match with Cambridge confirmed for Saturday 6th January at 3 pm. Prices are £10 for adults, £5 for concessions and £2 for under 18's. In this communication there is no mention of stands being closed yet.

He is now a regular first teamer so hopefully this gives him parity with others. There will probably be other clauses which protect both parties as most contracts have now.

There is a Wetherspoons in Darwen called the Old Chapel along with several other pubs and eateries. In the recent past I have seen visiting supporters coaches parked on Darwen Bus Station whilst away fans enjoy themselves. It's about twenty minutes drive from Ewood, perhaps a bit more tomorrow.

7300 Leeds fans are coming tomorrow. I'm more intrigued by the Football Special train coming. Anybody of a certain vintage will remember these. I would love them to make a comeback.

Arguably that lots best player out for a long while which is a real blow for them. https://www.burnleyfootballclub.com/content/kompany-confirms-koleosho-injury

Superb effort from the organisers and anyone who donated.

Good business for both parties. Harry is a decent Championship full back and very rarely lets us down. We just need some real competition for him now.

I seem to recall Waggott boasting to the Fans Forum that he had exceeded his financial target with regard to ticket sales. If that is true then he has a financial target to meet rather than a number of season tickets sold. Surely if he wanted to increase the fan base he would be more creative on the pricing and try and attract greater numbers. In my view it's the low hanging fruit again, a malaise that has infected our club and is being allowed to fester.

It's a real dilemma that is emerging for them. I understand he is the top paid player and invoking the extra year will give him another increase. By not offering the extra year he will potentially walk for nothing and whilst some might not agree he does have some value. His injury just compounds all this. If he is to be sold it really has to be in January but who will pay money for him when there doesn't seem to be any light at the end of the tunnel regarding his injury. The decision needs to be made soon.

Once again well done to all concerned. I sincerely hope this is a watershed in Waggott's tenure and the penny finally drops that the support is out there, he just has to do something quite radical to get them to Ewood.

Excellent work by all concerned.

Waggott will already be planning to shut the Blackburn End 😁 This game represents an opportunity to attract youngsters by making it free for kids with a paying adult. Some thought needs to go into this rather than their usual copy and paste mentality.

Hugely disappointing day which seemed a game too far for some of our players. The concession of a wholly preventable goal in the third minute undoubtedly gave them a lift along with the crowd. In the first period we were ponderous, played far too slow and wanted too much time on the ball. We still created chances though as we got in behind three or four times. We were better in the second half and our best period of play saw us create chances and then score. At that point I would have taken a draw given how we had played but we were hit with a real sucker punch when they got their second and it really knocked the stuffing out of us. I couldn't tell from where I was it there was a foul but there were certainty vociferous complaints from several Rovers players. Our bench resembled a creche and it's difficult to impose a real change on the game with youngsters who are still using Calpol. So we have to take it on the chin, get back to work and prepare for Leeds next week. I thought the referee was poor today. He seemed to be trying to manage situations which from my viewpoint required stronger action. Bad tackles cannot be managed and in Law require stronger punishment that a talking to.

Out of Gamble and Atcheson I would play Atcheson if the need arose. I see a lot of Ash Phillips in him.
