From my interactions with them both on the FF and from speaking to a couple of people I knew at the time who thought similar. I have to stress that's a compliment to Finn as opposed to a dig at Williams. I can't believe my opinion on the subject is of any interest to or matters to anyone. Edit: Just as I can't understand why me saying "I think Tronstad is ordinary BUT I KNOW OTHERS DON'T AGREE" seems to be so controversial.

Anyone think Villa can do it?

You fired a couple of aggressive chaddy style questions at me. All I said was I preferred Tom Finn to John Williams, I was being complimentary about Finn not derogatory about Williams. Where is there to go with that? It's my own personal opinion and no-one else's business. It's also completely irrelevant anyway all these years later.

Not wanting to pick on your post in isolation but this thread is so fickle. We've had two decent results. Again in isolation Boro was a creditable performance and a pleasing result but we drew the game 0-0, we didnt win it 3-0. And we're 4 points above the drop zone. If we suddenly went ten games unbeaten winning most of them in the process then, yes, that would be different but we just pick up the odd result here and there followed by two or three bad ones. The members of the Coalition must groan when they see this thread and think what's the point?

I never mentioned the owners, I said "paymasters" I.e. Pasha and Gestede for the purposes of the transfer window. But then again you have this weird aversion to anyone other than the owners getting any blame for anything whatsoever. For me Ismael is just as much of a problem as Pasha and Gestede. I find him very dislikeable personality wise, if anything goes wrong things are always someone else's fault (everyone forgotten "the list" already?) and he's fully on board or "aligned" with this bonkers "transition" (downgrading) which is likely to send us into League 1 or beyond.

Yes, because according to him, the squad's better or at least comparable to last year. Didnt he get very prickly about it in that press conference? I dont agree, but they're his players. It's a bit of an odd excuse to make for him to say, "Ah he's doing ok because look at all the shite he's signed". (My word not yours but you get the drift Im sure)

If you want to question me in a civil manner on anything vaguely relevant to 2025 fire away.

Still cant stand him personally, we're still only 4 points above the drop zone, AND don't forget, he's bailed his paymasters out by suggesting they can sort the pitch in lieu of strengthening in January. So we'd better hope the away form holds.

Well, that's me for the night, had enough of being baited for one day. Tomorrow Rev gets strung up for saying he preferred Clayton over Douglas.

Not that it matters, but imo Tom did all the real donkey work behind the scenes and John was more the PR man ( which tbf he was very good at)

😆 That's good then. As long as you respect it but totally disagree with it with utter disbelief just a little bit, that makes me feel so much better. Merry Christmas mate, take the night off and enjoy yourself!

He did an OK job. I much preferred Tom Finn out of the two. And Terry Ibbotsson before him. And David Brown and Derek Keighley To listen to most people talk you'd think he was putting the ball in the net at one end and keeping it out at the other though.

l Yet he sold for £4m and doubled his salary and Tronstad is still stuck here.

Seems it's only me that's not allowed to rate a player. No-one constantly kicked off at people that didnt rate Raya etc

Good to see you're still respecting your own mantra of respecting other people's opinions...... Except when you disagree with them of course.

Thanks Herbie! Hey.... I was thinking could you bring out a Tronstad T Shirt for me in the BRFCS shop. I was thinking maybe a Crab wearing a Blackburn Rovers Football shirt with No 6 on the back staring wistfully at a sign saying "Do not cross the half way line" "Do not collect £200" optional. (Give me that one I take enough grief about him the rest of the year)

Not remember those 30 yard screamers he scored under JDT? He doesnt get a nosebleed in the opposition half either.

No idea what you're talking about. I've never once queried the Club being closed over Christmas or staff having the time off. My gripe is that that shouldn't have the slightest bearing whatsoever on the ability to sell online digital tickets. Take a breath and think about what people are saying properly for once before leaping instantly down their throats in defence of the Club.

Errrr......apologies, you didnt "say" it as such you posted EFL guidelines which I thought we were clearly in breach of. If I've misinterpreted the guidelines you posted I apologise. I thought they said the away side were under a duty to put tickets on sale for their fans if the Home side requested it etc etc.

I've no idea. What are you adopting that tone with me for? It's not my fault.

I have that sort of feeling as well, or at least if they get the chance they'll flip him for an instant profit.

They dont need to, that's the whole point of online ticketing surely. Anyone who wants to buy a ticket over that period does so of their own volition at their own risk and anyone needing an unexpected refund can surely wait until the ticket office opens again?.

Thanks for that insightful comment.

Very odd.

I agree completely but that would be unlikely to be implemented I fear.
