No reason why shouldn't have "kicked on" last season either when we were going well. Didn't happen then and won't happen now - especially with key players injured and no replacements.

And it's false optimism because we won't make it!!

Forest sold Brereton for £7m. They saw that club coming

I honestly don't think a leak on a minor messageboard would have scuppered that deal. Weren't Rovers haggling over the fee and Villa just decided to pay it? Keep up the good work by the way.

Neither was Brereton, but that's another story. With his scoring record, he must be worth at least as much as Gallagher though. I agree Armstrong has technical faults and is not top quality but he knows how to score and if he keeps on improving, Rovers will have a good asset on their hands. He was a good buy at £1.75m

Armstrong has scored about 50 goals in 150 career appearances, and he's still only 22. Rovers should get a very good price for him if we had to sell, alot more than £1.75m we paid for him

Principles. Have we signed anyone yet?

So to recap - days before the window closes and have we actually signed anyone ?

Repeat of the Loftus Road game, when they carved our so-called defence to pieces. It's too easy, and why we won't get near the play-offs. Wouldn't be surprised to see 1-1 final

Leave orf

So have I. A bad one.

Pedant note Should there be an apostrophe in The R's? Come on you Rover's

The Climate Change Performance Index ranked Australia last out of 57 countries responsible for more than 90% of greenhouse gas emissions on climate policy. It highlighted the country's no-show at a UN climate summit in September and its withdrawal from an international fund to tackle climate change. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-australia-50869565 Australia will have to decide whether to take a huge hit to the economy by weaning itself off natural resource exports or risk becoming an international climate pariah like Trump's US. The so-called lucky country is running out of luck.

Brilliant bowling and catching by England so far. So pleased for Mark Wood after all his injury problems

Really?

Great old ground but looks sad barely half full. Sheffield's a great football city and both clubs should be in the Premier....Wednesday have been badly managed for decades. Agree about the Leppings Lane stand though. Football with all its riches should have paid for it to be knocked down and renamed

Didn't know about Davies and Mahoney. And how did we miss Paul Mariner at Chorley? and Vardy at Fleetwood? Just goes to show it's not necessary to go hunting in Poland and when there are hidden gems on your doorstep.

..... sorry, but some are destined to fall on stony ground.

It wasn't a political point ....... it was just another way of poking fun at Burnley.

Enjoyed watching Tommy Hutch. How could Rovers miss those 2?

Potentially "toxic"....especially with the Sussexes in the spotlight at present. Can I mention Brighton & Hove Albion? They play in Sussex

You ain't in our group.

The context was the Blackburn-Burnley rivalry. There was no insult. Nip what in the bud? There was no argument. It was a light-hearted attempt at fun - which missed its target obviously

Good grief

So comments on stories that combine football and politics are off limits ? How about the racism issue in football - that's pretty divisive too ? Alot of Rovers fans now refer to our six-fingered rivals as the Burnley Tories - is that censored too?
