Boom boom!

Very good!

To think someone on here thought he'd score 15 - 20 this season! In recent action Crystal meth man fails to beat the 1st man with a cross and a shot from Tavares barely makes it to the by line. That data eh? You can't beat it!

Absolutely naff all to do with Pears.

Ismael will no doubt be moaning again that a foul should have been given when one of the Oxford players accidentally headed the back of (Miller's ?) head but you have to play to the whistle. That rivalled the QPR game in terms of being shite. Wish Ismael would just fuck off.

S Sadly I'm on Virgin and it's still working!

Id say we'd been had if we paid £250 k for him.

Not sure. I assumed he'd be out of contract. If there's any sort of fee involved we should run a mile.

Im having difficulty concentrating on this. It's like a behind closed doors friendly.

He won't cost a fee, and they must think they can knock him down on his wages.

Alebiosu the best by far for me. Gudjohnssen's been ok in patches.

Never thought I would see the "New" Ewood this empty. The Crowd certainly voting with their feet tonight. Understandably so given everything and after Saturday's debacle. Club's finished unless Venky's and their lackeys fook off.

"Outstanding" is one hell of a stretch.

Cantwell's "hyper-extended knee" must still be giving him gip then?

I had a look at the Club website on Saturday as well after the abandonment to see if there was any hint of an apology. Sadly not. As you might expect it was written in a "Everyone was enjoying the game but for some unknown reason the referee decided to deem the pitch unplayable with Rovers leading 1-0" sort of way.

Now all we need to worry about (apart from whether the game will finish) is whether we can put a team out. Exciting times.

"Not a problem, it's not like we've had games called off in the past due to the weather or anything. Oooo....errr........ hang on!"

Yeah. It rains more in winter. Whoever would have thunk it?

If pitch inspections have already taken place or are taking place - surely it's against EFL regs or protocol not to inform both sets of fans of that , otherwise how can anyone travelling from any distance away make an informed decision whether to travel? It's a brave person who travels up from Oxford this afternoon. Unless they're travelling in Ossy Dave's Ferrari of course! 🙂

The wage cap such as it is is rumoured to be for new players coming in. We all know Cantwell's way above that and Travis, Brittain, Hyam would have been above it as well. Oddly enough Id imagine Pears is one of the only ones remaining apart from Cantwell and Tronstad above it. Maybe also Pickering and Carter? Not sure what Wharton would be on.

Yep. This 25p in the pound rule is ludicrous imo. For every £10m they inject from now on just to cover bills and keep the lights on, the potential purchase price to a new owner goes up by another £2.5m. A reward for bad ownership.

Going all the way over the M62 in January can be no joke.

Can you dig out the average for years 6 -10 and the last 5 years if you've nothing better to do? 🙂 That should prove quite informative Id have thought.

The forecast I've seen is light rain between 09.45 and 10.45 otherwise clear all day. It was atrocious most of the night. SHOULD be ok you'd have thought, but then again there shouldnt have been a problem on Saturday. The fact this game and the last are in any doubt at all show there's a major problem and will just keep re occurring until fixed.

I agree. The more I stew on this, the more I think it's a complete con job. The Club were finally absolutely on the ropes with this one, no excuses whatsoever, even with the overwhelming majority of the LT brigade. Then after being holed up for a couple of days, no doubt desperately wondering what the fuck they could say, up pops Ismael to save the day by saying "It's all right lads - take it out of the transfer budget!". As RF 99 would say, they deserve no credit whatsoever for fixing the pitch. They have no choice but to do that now, otherwise we won't be able to fulfill our fixtures.
