I remember QEGS wouldn't play other Blackburn schools during this period. (It also meant that the Town's finest missed playing alongside me for the town team.) They did agree agree to play our sixth form where we gave them the runaround on their lovely Lammack pitches. So not that invincible.

Banned from driving for 12 months. I can give him a lift on match days once he's fit.

I wouldn't be against Neil joining: we need some new blood and ideas, but he wasn't a world-beater at PNE and I'm not sure he would be the man to get us promoted.

Gareth Ainsworth would need to get a haircut and and a re-style to get anywhere near the club, IMHO.

Well the lad from PNE is available. A few here suggesting him earlier this season.

Can't you just call him TM? The personal insults aren't nice.

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzz

I guess watching a match in an empty stadium from your living room is very likely to be boring. Most football is IME.

I think that JRC was been better than Nyambe, and maybe the younger players need resting.

Ain't that the truth.

Fair enough. I have some bacon to cook, but one has to defend oneself.

For example?

I would say that I have been putting a view forward that is unpopular regarding TM this season, and I may well be wrong - that's why I like having a Forum. But too many times the rules of reasonable debate have been overtaken by some pretty shoddy accusations IMHO.

I agree it's what people do, not where they come from.

Too much coffee this morning.

I'm referring to the rather smug and self-satisfied claim that Darren is part of an elite group of Rovers fans who bonded at QEGS. Bob Mortimer's Lister comes to mind, "I know Dentists and Doctors."

When posters blame TM for Dack's injury or claim that he's part of some financial conspiracy then I think they have lost it.

Not at all. The forum has become its own odd micro-climate of one-sided, unbalanced and fantastical thinking. I suspect the pandemic has made it worse: the Rubicon is in the rear mirror of far too many I'm afraid.

I've been here for over 20 years fella. I enjoy arguing the toss.

And there we go - public school boys know best.

If you can't take the p1ss out of folk - BTW one who told me I need medical help because I had a different view on the Dack injury - then there's a problem.

I found it ridiculous - thought others would too.

Honesty takes many forms.

Wasn't he bragging about his elite network recently?

He may well be a nice guy, I'm sure he loves the Rovers nearly as much as me, but along with the gang of anti-TM at all costs types, I'm just sick of it.
