Saw him make his debut, aged !8?? Anyway, at least 40 years ago. Makes me feel old. Happy birthday Simon.

I enjoy the odd tease but these constant wind-ups are getting tiresome. This Rovers side are entirely capable of losing to Barnsley - and you know it.

........and he's also a brilliant footballer who gets better every season. England are lucky to have him Wouldn't be surprised to see him at Barcelona or Real Madrid eventually. The race comment is silly, Rev

........... and his "holiday" when the club were looking to make a critical appointment. Smacks of the Roy Keane transfer farce. The club might as well put a closed for business sign on the front door.

Would you blame him? Another great decision by our "owners".

Warnock gone. Get him. Absolute no-brainer

The Times piece also said Peter Ridsdale of Leeds infamy is involved with PNE as an adviser to the Preston owner - which I didn't know. Now he's a contentious figure but he knows football inside out and and certainly knows more than the "advisers" at Ewood

Good piece on PNE and their manager Neil in the Times today. Preston's starting XI on Saturday cost less than £1.5m in total. The playing budget, £15m, is among the bottom 5 in the division. The £2m fee paid for Tom Bayliss from Coventry in August was a club record. Over to you Tony, for an explanation on why you've underperformed despite spending tens of millions

Leicester paid £12m for Harry Maguire and sold him for £80m. No sell-on value there then.

I wonder why the owners carry on. What are they getting out of it?

Don’t understand this. In 55 years plus of watching I’ve never once left a match early, even when we’ve been 5-0 down at home.

Mowbray has a habit of pulling out these unexpected wins when unrest is growing among fans and his job might be under threat. I don't see this as a turning point and although Saturday night with a win under the belt feels good, normal service will probably return next week

Does that mean Mowbray gets another contract?

They concoct yet another slogfest and then wonder why England have so many batting collapses in Test cricket. Avoid.

To which the reporter should have said : "That's irrelevant because we've lost yet again."

1-0 defeat and he'll carry on.. 5-0 defeat and even Mowbray might realise his situation is unsustainable.

Class act. We could do with him now. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/50182372

Chris Wilder was an obvious one in the lower leagues. I mentioned him a few times when he was at Northampton He's not done too badly at Sheff Utd.

Absentee, distant, and disinterested owners? Ewood "management" with no ability to hire and fire? Manager seemingly in a job for as long as he wants it and under no pressure to achieve? Apart from that, nothing is broken at all.

What's Big Sam doing these days ? He must be bored playing golf every day on the Costa Brava. Venky's could be forgiven for alot if they brought him back

Anyone at the game? Signs of anger, protests?

Another stumble on the slippery slope downwards And Preston Sheffield Wednesday and Leeds to come Tony’s pensions advisers are not concerned though

Combine 1. Distant and disinterested owners 2. Manager under no pressure 3. Token "board" unable to hire or fire ...and you get the present state of affairs Welcome to Blackburn Dysfunctional Rovers

Talking rubbish (US garbage).

What's more depressing - Brexit or Rovers?
