No it wasn't Carragher. I'll see if I can find the recording.

Allegedly they had 80 interested parties, and preferred bidders have to show they have £50m available to fund the Club. Is that in addition to the £30m asking price?

I'll believe it if he's still here in February. I think Cantwell thinks we're as thick as the Club do. "Hyperextension of the knee". Lol.

Simon Jordan was saying last week how he had put together a consortium to buy Wednesday but they were put off by the EFL having a "25p in the pence rule". Apparently the former owner Chansiri must get a guaranteed amount or Wednesday get an extra 15 point deduction on top of everything else. I've never heard of this before. Is that right, and if so what's the reasoning behind it? Sounds like it's a reward for running the Club badly to me. Could it have adverse ramifications for us if Venky's ever agree to sell?

The two players analysing in the studio didnt think it was a red, they thought as I did that the ref's decision should have been left to stand and that it looked far worse in slow motion than it actually was. Let's see if you are of the same opinion the next time a Rovers players makes an honest but fractionally late challenge!

Wasn't aware of this until you posted. Deepest sympathy and hope they throw away the key for the perpetrators. Prison is too good for them.

Im genuinely amazed at that. I thought the Chelsea Coach would be frothing at the mouth about it and backing up his player. Bloody soft foreigners. Bugger off back to La Liga! Lol.

Fair enough Parson, hope you have got to the other side of your health issues. I won't tackle you on this again but the tenor of your posts recently make it sound as if you are either full square behind the regime and/or you dont mind what happens to the Club, your support for the team won't waver irrespective of what Division or level we end up in or at. That may or may not be an accurate reflection of what you feel but if not I think it's a shame that as one of the leading authorities on the Club, we aren't privy to your true thoughts. You don't need to reply to this post if you dont want, Im not trying to trip you up or catch you out by drawing you into saying something you'd rather be kept private.

It was a genuine attempt to block the ball and he was a split second late. Reckless would be going in studs up and catching him higher up on the leg. The referee saw it in real time at normal speed and (correctly imo) awarded a yellow. It wasn't a "clear and obvious" error and VAR shouldn't have intervened. They aren't supposed to be re-refereeing the game.

If it's a non contact sport.

You're being uncharacteristically antagonistic and trying to get a rise out of me for some reason. Not playing.

We'll have to agree to disagree there then. I can't stand Hedges but didnt think it was a foul nor did he do anything wrong in that particular instance. However I think whether he did or didn't do anything wrong is virtually irrelevant and completely secondary to the fact we need to defend the free kick properly.

It's a perfectly fair and straightforward question to ask. Hypothetically, is it trolling to wax too lyrical about a team that can regularly produce a decent away performance but repeatedly stinks the place out at Ewood? (Not something I'd accuse Parson of btw as I know he is genuine in his opinions but there are others)

Anyone watching Chelsea v Arsenal? Caiceido given an extremely harsh red by VAR imo. In real time was a fraction late with a studs down tackle and caught the Arsenal player on the top of the foot. The ref (Anthony Taylor) gave a yellow onfield which was perfectly adequate imo but VAR as usual got involved un necessarily, and told him to go over to the monitor. Of course it looked far worse in slow motion and Taylor upgraded to a red. When you compare that with the challenge on Baradji at Preston which caught him studs up half way up his calf/shin it's like watching 2 completely different sports.

I hope it's called off with us winning 5-0, a second postponement might prompt enough ridicule and provoke enough outrage for us to finally do something about the pitch.

You're beginning to sound a bit like like Ismael there, I didnt think it was a foul, but fouls get wrongly awarded or wrongly not given all the time. Just because a foul was awarded it doesn't mean we automatically have to concede from it, it's our job to defend it properly, no matter what stage of the game we're at, then it becomes a complete non issue. It's always someone else's fault with Ismael.

I hate sounding snappy or sarcastic towards you Parson but it sounds as though you're happy to applaud them all the way down to League 1 (and maybe beyond). Could I repeat Mattyblue's question towards you, what is your opinion on the overall state of the Club and direction of travel?

He isn't - at the end of the day we're 18th, three points above the relegation zone and failed to win a match we should have won comfortably. If you're pleased with that, I really don't know what to say.

You're easily pleased Parson Im afraid to say.

Thought Ince was sheepish as a manager rather than dislikeable personally. The total opposite of what he was like as a player.

Cantwell is getting treated by Ismael like Travis did. Drop a grenade of innuendo without any specific detail and retreat to a safe distance.

This.

But you believe everything the Club puts out on social media?

Couldn't agree more. The guy's an absolute disgrace. What's happening with Cantwell again?

Rhodes after Leon Best got injured. Gallagher (laughably).
