Vogel? Blimey, so memorable I'd forgotten him

England cricket tour of Sri Lanka called off Turn up at Ewood tomorrow - might be the last live footy match we'll see for a long time

Hello Chris Whitty.

Good post but the NHS has not been well funded over the past decade. Its funding has been cut in real terms and the pressure and cracks in the system are plain to see. I hope these scientists advising the government know what they're doing. We're very much out of step with measures taken in other counties and I think our scientists need to explain more fully their stance. Johnson had better get it right because he'll pay the price in political terms As for the football, it doesn't matter. The season's finished as far as Rovers is concerned.

Has this team been approved by the government's chief medical officer? The government's chief scientific officer prefers 4-3-3. What do you think?

They say what Johnson and the government tell them to say. It's a new government and they're petrified the economy will go into recession because of the virus - which it will

Donald Trump, the US's chief scientific adviser, said coronvirus is a hoax so it must be true.

Some people have had enough of "experts"; others choose to take their advice when it suits them https://www.chathamhouse.org/expert/comment/michael-gove-trouble-experts

Yes, well done. Thinking of others, unlike some selfish folk including the one who is never wrong

Sports ban coming https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/51859553 Bristol City match could be Rovers' last until next season

You can't dismiss it so easily Rev. This is a serious global pandemic, and there's few signs of the infection rate slowing down. No one knows when it will peak or how many will ultimately die. Hence the progressing worldwide lockdown. Football doesn't matter

Yep, it's a poor division this year. West Brom and Leeds the best teams (though not that wonderful) and the rest pretty average. The fact we're up there challenging shows how mediocre it is. However I'm sure the likes of Warnock would have made us a better outfit, even with the current disjointed squad. Consistency of selection would have helped - Mowbray's selections yesterday being just another another example of his muddled thinking.

Thanks for the insight. I'll ask the cat next time

Played so well at Charlton and Brentford but not turned up today. Someone explain please

I wonder what Mowbray's excuse will be? Coronavirus?

Watching this with a Derby fan. She says they've been poor for months, can't believe they're winning this and how poor we are

It's just like the election. Gullible people taken for a ride by rich people. The club should be honest and say it doesn't want promotion.

Mowbray had a long chat with his pensions adviser last night. Promotion puts his pot at risk but another 2 seasons in the championship should be enough

Still here; one good game in 10 is about his lot.

Derby had a tough match in the FA Cup only a few days ago yet they seem less tired and more motivated than us. Why ?????

Entirely predictable - why do we bother getting our hopes up? Still, we're making progress according to the manager's fan club

The difficulty here is he spent £12m on 2 strikers who haven't been automatic picks and have scored only a few goals between them. That;s very BIG money for us and clearly money not well spent. So the caveat is Mowbray has done reasonably well so far despite wasting cash on 2 non-performing players If that money had been spent wisely who knows where we would be now?. Let's cool it on the Mowbray love-in please. .

You always come across as very angry. Do you have problems in your life?

Yep, stick with what we've got next season and we'll end up in the same place, assuming the division isn't stronger. It's pretty weak this season which explains why we're challenging for the top 6 despite being a mediocre side.
