Mowbrays Successor
jim mk2 replied to Darwen Rover 007's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
You're kidding right? Flopped at United understandably following in Ferguson's footsteps but did a very good job for years at Everton and the same now at West Ham. Admittedly not won anything but very few have outside the elite managerial club. He's a top manager -
Brockhall STC - planning permission application ?
jim mk2 replied to Mattyblue's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Done my bit 50 years ago! Time for you lot to have a a go -
I was in the Nuttall St stand towards the Darwen End which was unusual as we normally didn't sit. Most Liverpool fans were at the Darwen End and were in a foul mood as they left the ground. A few of their bottles landed in the Nuttall St stand. Horrible lot.

Can still see the Harrison penalty in my mind's eye. Nearly broke the net as usual

Thanks for that. I didn't see St John play in the case. It was a great game, Liverpool went 2-0 up early then we pulled it back to 2-2 by half time and scored the winner in the second half. This is all from memory nearly 60 years ago so might be wrong! Liverpool supporters weren't happy - lots of beer bottles being thrown around after the final whistle.

Protest outside boardroom / main stand before the game; protest inside the ground during the game; protest outside again after the game. Make feelings known, loud, clear and often, a bit of passion. I really don't see the point of boycotts. -
Glenn Roeder yesterday, Ian St John today. Peter Lorimer very ill too. All these great players from the past passing away, inevitable but still sad. I only saw Liverpool at Ewood once, when we came back from 2-0 down to beat them 3-2, circa 1964 ? Assume St John was in that side.

What a load of rubbish, and proof that he over-complicates and overthinks the game. If he's talking that sort of stuff in the dressing room it's no wonder the players wander around dazed and confused - how are they supposed to decipher that? Football's pretty simple - play your best players in the right positions and let them get on with it.

Staying at home, hoping the problem will go away, and you need virtually everyone to do it. It won't happen and it won't work -

You don't get regime change by staying away, in effect doing nothing. -
Reading v Rovers. March 2nd 2021, 8pm.
jim mk2 replied to Proudtobeblue&white's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
On past form it's at low points like this that Mowbray turns it around and we go on another unbeaten run. However, it feels different this time. The team looks listless and disinterested. I'd be amazed if we avoid defeat -

Quite right Rev. But no use complaining on here. What are fans going to do about it? -
Didn't Watford have 4 managers in one season the previous time they won promotion? Instability clearly works at some clubs

ROVERS V COVENTRY 27/2/2021
jim mk2 replied to Hoochie Bloochie Mama's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
The players can't be enjoying themselves, they certainly don't look as if they are. I remember from my playing days when it wasn't going right; there's nothing worse than turning up for matches knowing you're likely to lose and you just want to get the season over with. That's how Rovers look at the moment. -

First time I've seen him. I was always told never trust a man with a beard because they're hiding behind it So no, I don't believe a word he says. -

The question must be why did Rovers sign him? -

jim mk2 replied to Herbie6590's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
West Ham knew Martin Britt was a crock, and I think Rovers did too, but we still signed him, £25,000 IIRC though I might be wrong, a fortune at the time. He'd obviously done his cruciate (a wonky knee they used to call it) which was career ending then but would be routine surgery now. Britt was a good player. I remember seeing Gilliver sitting in the Nuttall St stand injured more often than he played. -
Well there it is. England batting beaten before the start. Mindset all wrong and poor techniques exposed

Two misfields in the first over. As one journalist said they can’t bat, they can’t bowl and they can’t field. Bring em home
