Good work.

I can only go off what is recorded in the minutes, there is no indication from that that anything that was said was challenged in any meaningful way. It may be that isn't an accurate representation of what was actually said but if so then any objections should be recorded as well. I wasn't really intending having a go at any individuals on the Forum, I've done my time on there and it's a fairly thankless task giving your time up for free. I'm also aware that even in John Williams' day the Forum was essentially a box ticking exercise for the Club - they'd listen to what you had to say and then they'd go and do exactly what they wanted in the first place but at least they could say they'd "consulted" with the fans. There comes a point however when the Club are simply just coming out with downright untruths or "We'll look into it" that the whole thing becomes pointless. Out of the meeting what did you learn about the Club's stance on the overall financial situation, the summer transfer window, Mcquire, season ticket prices or their ongoing commitment to maintaining Ewood? Because unless I've completely missed it I'm absolutely none the wiser.

Only just read the latest Fans Forum minutes and it's made my blood boil. There isn't a single acceptable response from anyone at the Club! In its current format the FF is a complete waste of time and the members are complicit in listening to the Club come out with absolute bollux and letting them completely off the hook. The latest gems "Operational matters unaffected by the Court case and owners see no issues in sending funds in sending funds over as and when required". Clearly not true - we still have to go to Court to secure release of funding, a manager walked out because "the project" had changed and if there's no issue in sending funding over why was Wharton ushered ot of the door for such a pitiful amount? (Did anyone ask if we have a sell on clause btw?) Alternatively if there is no issue, what is it that has changed from 12 months ago when Waggott clearly acknowledged there was a problem? "What went wrong with the January 24 transfer deadline?," "We can't say it's subject to an investigation" 3 MONTHS later! "Will there be a summer transfer budget?" No information given. "We're discussing with owners etc." I.e. "We're looking into it. Will another offer be made for Mcguire? No information given "under consideration" I.e. "We're looking into it" (But if it doesn't happen it's down to his nasty parent Club refusing to sell despite us making a clear pledge to go back in for him in the immediate aftermath of the original debacle) Season ticket prices - no information given "We 're looking into it etc " Why cant they say "If we're in League 1 we're proposing prices should be X and if they're in the Championship we think they should be Y" What do you think?" Any chance of safe standing? "We can't get a grant for it so you'll have to pay for it yourselves" "Mildew in the stands?" We didnt know about it. We only work here full time. Send us a photo and "We'll look into it" Upgrade of Ewood: Great to see the Adam Wharton money will be going towards the purchase of various new lifts in the Executive Areas. As a general point they can't be crying crocodile tears about a load of items needing replacing at once as the current owners have been in charge 14 years and maintenance to the ground should have been kept on top of on an annual basis so that it didn't become a major issue all at once. Please - stop letting them get away with this nonsense! As stated previously I personally couldnt sit there and let my intelligence be insulted meeting after meeting, I'd refuse to meet with them until they start taking things seriously and come up with some meaningful answers.

Agreed. Gallagher hasn't scored in his last 13 starts nor has he remotely looked like doing so. Therefore in the unlikely event that Telalovic had been afforded such a generous amount of game time over the same period he couldn't possibly have done any worse!

I don't think we'll go, that requires us to lose and Wednesday to get at least a point (both very likely) combined with both Plymouth and Birmingham winning - (not on the face of it particularly likely). That shouldn't be seen as a badge of honour though, by god we've been utterly unconvincing under 2 different coaches and there needs to be a massive improvement next season whichever division we're in. At least if we never see Sam Gallagher again after Saturday it will be a reason to raise a glass in celebration I suppose. P.S. If anyone wants to hedge against the crushing disappointment of the worst case scenario unfolding, we're 18/1 to go down with Sky Bet.

Gallagher, Pears and Hyam all starting. I'm seriously pissed off at that. Eustace has made a rod for his own back if we lose. The right thing to do would have been to drop the lot.

Must have panicked in the heat of the moment because I don't think the back pass rule would have applied. If a defender unintentionally slices a clearance and the keeper picks it up then its not deemed a foul because it wasn't an intentional pass. Interesting hypothetical though - if he had conceded a free kick a yard out- would we have been entitled to line up eleven players on the line making it virtually impossible to score or would they get a free hit?

Come off it - Pears made probably the worst individual error I've ever seen yesterday - and isn't good enough - but in terms of general play Wahlstedt makes Pears look like Gordon Banks. The former was responsible for either 1-2 goals per game when he was playing and hasn't got a single redeeming feature. He can't even catch the ball.

Don't care. Anyone with a bit of heart who is prepared to put a shift in would be an improvement. Ditto Gallagher and Hyam. It's a shame Whaton is currently having fitness issues as otherwise I would drop Hyam without a seconds hesitation and play Wharton and Carter at the back.

Manager needs to be strong and drop Pears/Wahlstedt/Hyam, Brittain and Gallagher. Can't see anything for us without that and I will lose confidence in Eustace without a very significant shake up.

Agreed. Needs to show some cajones and drop Pears/Walstedt/Hyam/Brittain/Gallagher for good and stop trying to be everyone's mate.

Apologies for the bad language but that's absolute bollux. People used to complain about his output in the final third of the pitch but defensively he was always sound.

Chaddy, the problem with your opinion is that if the Club sacked Eustace later today you would perform a complete u turn and say that it was the correct decision.

Perfect example yesterday. That first goal would have been in Row Z if there was any doubt. Lenihan was a good defender. Before him I thought Grant Hanley was even better. Does the basics. Hyam does not and is not.

Exactly. They're meant to be cutting out "clear and obvious" errors not re-refereeing the game. It's ruining the game chalking off goals because someone has a toe nail or an armpit offside. Who actually thinks that's a good idea? Ditto going back through the action desperately trying to find the most minor of infringements as an excuse to rule out a goal. Conversely however, when a penalty SHOULD be given by the on field referee but isn't, they rarely intervene for the reason that they claim it wasn't a clear and obvious error. It all seems to be geared up to chalk goals off whichever way round it is.

100%. And to think people used to call Ryan Nyambe who rarely if ever had a bad game.

That as well, but we'd be in trouble with decent owners and players like Gallagher Hyam and Brittain in the side.

"But but ......he works "hard" and occasionally wins a header in our own box! On a serious note we've no chance of success until we cleanse the Club of lead swinging twats like him.

If we were neutrals watching this pile of shite I'm sure we'd find Brittain and Hyam absolutely hilarious.

Christ...... Nevertheless bring him in. Those two clowns need to be shown the way they've performed this season isn't acceptable and won't be tolerated

Who's the 3rd choice keeper? Is it Joe Hilton? Surely to god he can't be any worse than Pears or Wahlstedt. Eustace should make a statement and sideline them both for the rest of the season then fire them off in summer.

Shame. Can't really say too much after his efforts this season. And in the event looks like it's going to be irrelevant anyway.

Notionally. Absolute piss take. Fuck off Gallagher, Hyam, Pears, Venkys, Waggott, and Broughton. In fact fuck off everyone apart from Szmodics.

Does it not have to be an intentional "pass"?

Yep, having defended him on the first goal I have to say I've never seen anything like that. After he miskicked it why didn't he just pick it up before it went over the line?
