Ryder cup or Ewood this afternoon? Never thought I’d even remotely consider that. Hard to buy into Rovers these days.

The best piece I’ve seen written on him - thanks. It’s worth downloading the “theathletic” app and signing up for free for a week just to read it. Lots of new stuff I’d not heard before. This bit struck a chord with me personally… The way people talk about Tugay reminds you of how people talked about players such as Garrincha, describing a lesser-seen, mercurial talent they almost feel duty-bound to try to make everyone understand how good they were. Nobody who ever coached “Toogs”, or played with him, or even watched him, has anything even remotely negative to say, about either his talent or his character. They’re Tugay proselytisers, keen to convert the remaining disbelievers to the cause.

Our physios will make sure he is fit to sign. We do have some physios don’t we? 🥺

They will be once the inevitable injury crisis kicks in.

I hope Carter has improved since I saw him play last season. Admittedly only once. He was terrible.

I’ve just had an advert on here for an ad blocker. Seriously. My brain has just collapsed into a singularity just thinking about that one.

Up front it is then.

Which could well be why he hasn't succeeded here due to terrible management by his manager. I'm wondering who we can afford that are better.

This has potential as a drinking game.

It really was obvious to some of us. I went to the PNE away game that season and what I saw that day convinced me Mowbray wasn’t up to it. From team selection, to what went on on the pitch to his comments afterwards. A Shameful display of football management. Nothing has happened since that has convinced me otherwise.

I think tomphil is saying that in the event of an Armstrong sale, it’s likely that the proceeds would be used to pay off the highest priority Creditors (as Venkys should do) and not used as re-investment in the team. ie Armstrong proceeds will get swallowed up.

Somebody should stick that under Mowbray's nose and ask what comment he has to make in the context of Rovers lamentable showing last season. Particulary Swansea and Barnsley's figures.

What question or point are you really trying to make?

All 5000 of us.

To be honest, I think everyone’s broadly in agreement. we’re fucked.

I don't think he is doing his best judging by his demeanor on the touchline during games. But that is just my interpretation/opinion. I also don't think he is the brightest either, which puts him way out of his depth. Ditto the CEO.

Get them printed…if he bangs in 15/20 goals this season you could be on to a winner!

I wanted that 2 or 3 years ago when it was clear he was a very limited manager and his time was up. £40 million quid later...

He had a hell of a shot on him. He could hit a ball harder than Shearer I reckon.

Makes you really want to buy a season ticket don’t it. 😕

Wing, centre mid, centre mid, wing, No 10, wing, centre mid (scores a goal), dropped, dropped. I haven't a clue how good he is.

There’s a number of players we have That I’m unable to form a proper opinion on because of the appalling mismanagement of our so called manager. These include, but not limited to; Kaminski Nyambe Lenihan Rothwell Travis Brereton Gallagher I suspect there are some duds in there, but it’s hard to form an opinion when they seem to be set up to fail most of the time. It’s criminal what Mowbray is getting away with.

14.4.2 just checked and there is 14.5.1 available which I’ll try....

Tried on Chrome and I was presented with and Ad as you would expect. So may just be a Safari issue? Thanks.

I mostly access the message board forum on an iphone using safari. If I visit the topic listings and click on one, the browser text goes blurred and hangs. My guess is that safari is trying to load the advert but stalling. I then have to refresh the page and try again. So 3 actions to read one post. And it doesn't even present me with the advert. About one times in 10 it does work and I do get the advert. It's done it since the ad thing changed and I have to say it's starting to annoy me. I thought I'd raise this in case others are seeing it and/or you were not aware of the issue.
