Ranting about trivial issues
jim mk2 replied to Riverside under the drip's topic in I Can't Believe It's Not Football
What did they do before they "drilled down" ? Perhaps they used a simple English word, such as "sought", or "searched", or "examined"? And how about the "roadmap" out of lockdown? How did we ever survive all those years without "roadmaps"? In the old days there'd be a simple English word like "route", or "way", or "plan"? Then there's the "rollout" of vaccines, when surely "distribution" is a perfectly adequate British English word and finally, the worst of the lot, "ramping up", probably the most overused American word of the pandemic and the most annoying when "increase" or "expand" or "extend" is easily understood -

Americanisms are a blight on the British English language and need to be resisted. Lawmakers instead of politicians or legislators is one that has become widely used in the media. Skedule instead of the correct schedule in the spoken word drives me nuts and the Oxford comma has crept into written language, and is very annoying (see what I did there?) And don’t anyone dare use train station instead of railway station -
Mowbrays Successor
jim mk2 replied to Darwen Rover 007's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Would Ainsworth get a mention if he wasn't a Blackburn lad? I don't think he would -
I know what you mean TS. I was world class every time playing in the back garden On Brereton, he very much relies on confidence, A while ago he was in good form and playing well but at the moment he looks shot. I'd like to see him what he can do under a better coach and manager because he has alot of attributes, although he is unlikely ever to be a prolific scorer

Brereton's confidence has gone. Today he was snatching at shots, mistiming runs, holding the ball when he should pass, laying it off when he should keep it and miscontrolling the ball all the time. It's a shame because earlier in the season he was playing well and finally looking like a good player in the making. I think there's a good player in there somewhere but at the moment he's a liability

Good or bad Friday depending on the result

You have to wonder how Mowbray is able to sit at home with a clear conscience tonight. Surely anyone with an ounce of their own self-worth and pride would look at themselves in the mirror and admit that they are failing in their job and can no longer justify picking up their very high wages. -

In any other club Mowbray's position would be untenable. It's getting silly now -

Nine managers out of 10 in Mowbray's current situation would resign - without a doubt Nine clubs of 10 with a proactive board would have sacked the manager by now -

Seven points out of 39. Losing to the rock bottom club. Not tested their keeper this half. On and on we bumble -

If anything we're worse this half than the first dire 45. -
