RevidgeBlue

This excuse of blaming the home crowd/atmosphere for shite displays at home has to stop and needs calling out if Ismael or any of the players allude to it in future.

Weren't even that for the first ten games!

I thought the other way round. The first was absolutely unforgiveable for a professional footballer. The second was very good goalkeeping although he probably shouldnt have given him the chance.

Id add Hickman, Miller and Kargbo to that.

And the Christmas kitty down the Swannee!

Don't know where to start with that. They should to a man be embarrassed with that shit show tonight apart from Pratt and maybe Pears. What worries me is, that whilst there's no obvious sign we're any nearer to solving our problems at home, we surely won't carry on winning nearly all our away games.

As commendable as we've been away from home I think Ismael has produced the worst set of home performances I've ever seen from us. Chucking bodies on in desperation now. Let's hope we get lucky.

🙄

I use it as a term of endearment in a joking context obviously.

Cos he's been crap.

Crystal meth man looked like he was coming on 5-10 mins ago. .......Here he comes. Not Gudjohnssen's night by any stretch.

No real quality but getting very frenetic now. I think one side will score - no idea which one.

Fortunate there. Weren't playing to the whistle.

Poor from Hedges there after the keeper gifted it to him.

Bit harsh, great anticipation and save by their keeper. Ideally AG should maybe have had a quick look and picked his spot but then he'd be worth in the tens of millions.

You dont come out of Paserelli's looking like that...... Lucky if you've any hair left!

Good save Pears.

I think the QPR kit is great. The sort of halved away kit we should have permanently in different colours.

Don't mention him in the same breath as Rhodes. What the hell was that from him?

As usual desperately poor fare for the diminishing number of Ewood Park faithful. Surprised Exiled isnt berating the ref for not giving QPR a "stonewall" penalty seeing as he tells us he judges it the same at either end.

We limped to seven points from the first ten games WITH Tronstad in the side and at the time most people commented how badly he was playing and he didnt look interested etc etc. The key factor in our revival would appear to be the change to 3-5-2 rather than his absence or otherwise so let's hope that proves to be the case tonight and we can get the three points.

It does happen occasionally through incompetence even if there isnt necessarily anything nefarious going on. £7m for Grabbi (which Im told would comfortably have purchased the town his former Club Ternana was situated in) and when we bought Christian Dailly the story goes that Derby had a figure in mind for him and John Williams steamed in with an initial offer way in excess of that which of course they were only too delighted to accept. In this instance of course it would be no surprise at all if Tavares' agency havent done extremely well out of the deal and we've been saddled with a relatively expensive (for us) dud.

Then cue mystery interest him in January which the Club claim they weren't expecting but "the player received an offer and he wanted to take it". They really do take everyone for mugs and by rights Ismael should have a nose as long as Pinocchio.

Apologies for taking the thread off topic - the last word on beer from me in this thread but hopefully people will find some of it interesting. I always classed the Revidge run as starting at either the Knowles Arms at the bottom of Pleckgate Rd or the Hare and Hounds at Lammack Rd depending on which direction you were coming from. (There's still the Wilpshire Hotel, Rising Sun and Brownhill Arms left in the Brownhill area. The Bulls Head has been a Co-op for many years which I refused to go in for ages on principle. The landlord of the Rising Sun is a keen Rovers fan, the outside of the building has been painted blue and white, there's a room with Rovers memorabilia and last season he was doing cheap Japanese bottled beer if Ohashi scored and a disgusting blue cocktail of some sort called a "Cantwell". Not certain if he's still doing those) After that it's a completely barren wasteland now pub wise. Depending on how far you wanted to wander off a straight line, you had at one time The Knowles, The Royal Oak, The Sportsman's, Hole ith Wall, Hare and Hounds, Corporation, Dog Inn, Quarrymans, Gibraltar, (The Gib) Alexandra Hotel, (The Alex) Leamington, Fox and Grapes, West View and Woodlands. The Knowles is now a fully fledged restaurant (Ego) and you can just get a drink in there but the bar area is a fairly joyless experience. The Royal Oak on Pleckgate Rd is I think open but up for let and the last two standing the Hare and Hounds and the Alex went in the last couple of months or so. Sue the landlady at the Alex died and Robbo the guy who had the Hare and Hounds sold to the Issa's which I was very upset about in both instances.

Desperation or inspired?
