  1. Think he was shocking last night - IMO, showed absolutely nothing.
  2. Didn't see the incident with the female steward as left just before the end. Honestly think our stewards didn't help by standing in front of some of the Hertha fans for the entire match. Some of the Hertha fans were sat down - the rest standing at the front should have been encouraged to join those sat down. IMO, our stewards were clueless and directionless. Probably about fifty Hertha fans and half as many police outside! Asked one policeman if we were playing Burnley and I was too p1ssed to realise it - think he saw the point and knowingly smiled and shrugged his shoulders indicating the stewards had made the call for 'help'.
  3. Poor stuff tonight. IMO, not one single Rovers' player threatening our poor first team. Rankin-Costello and Butterworth very disappointing. For two twenty year olds, you seriously question if they have what it takes. Service to Chapman was cr@p - no wonder he seems p1ssed off at times. Showed what he can do towards the end on two occasions when he beat men in the box. Mowbray needs to do one of two things - either give the lad a genuine chance or get rid. Hertha looked more lively, more creative, more mobile and passed and moved much better. As for their fans, saw nothing more than a tad boisterousness. Overkill and waste of police resource at the end of the match.
  4. Further reasons for a long Saturday session in the pub. Might get back, sober up and he'll be gone. Well we can dream!
  5. Indeed. We need a real spanking today - 5,6 or 7 nil. As @GavlarSomersetRover has pointed out, it's now looking like 5 points from 24 games. IMO, clear as day a taxi is needed for our dinosaur of a manager.
  6. Leeds will be cr@pping it now.
  7. Feckin unbelievable.
  8. A winner for us is on the cards. About time we grabbed something late on.
  9. Must be as feckin deluded as Mowbray where rovers concerned. Just opened a red - this is unbearable.
  10. Tony will love a clean sheet and a late winner. I'm optimistic and just stuck a fiver on 2-0 Rovers at 55/1.
  11. South Africa superbly drilled, defensively excellent and far too physically strong for England. After the two semi finals, was very confident of England win........but. SA win fully deserved. Full stop. I'm backing Rovers to spring a South African surprise. Rovers to win 3-1.
  12. IMO, delusional bullsh1t targeted at our Indian owners - trying to buy a bit more time. I think Mowbray is really feeling the pressure and is hanging on by a thread now. Mowbray - if you really want to know what fitness, organisation, motivation, teamwork, tactics and good effective coaching really are then tune in to the Rugby World Cup Final tomorrow morning to watch our magnificent England team.
  13. Would have to be 3), however, you would need a manager who knew what he was doing and, IMO, Mowbray is most certainly not that man. You buy quality with a resale value not, IMO, dross like Armstrong, Brereton and Gallagher.
  14. It's a feckin disgrace. I might be wrong here but is that not the highest ever Ewood Park match day price in the history of Rovers? We are playing Owls at home in the Championship not Barca or Real Madrid in the Champions' League!!! Was going to go on Saturday but when I went online to get some tickets and saw the prices I thought feck that. I think Waggot generally shows very little business / commercial nous and has little feel for the club and its supporters. IMO, we are stuffed by an incompetent CEO and football manager.
  15. That thought fills me with horror. Without doubt, IMO, the manager is almost hopeless when it comes to player trading.
  16. Keighley was outstanding. Bancroft wasn't bad. Fox had it relative;y easy with Uncle Jack's support. All three were head and shoulders above Cheston and Waggot - think it's like PL v Blackburn Combination.
  17. Never said he was! Simply using him as an example.
  18. Why should I? Firstly, just shows there are 'bright young things' out there and secondly, shows what an impact a 'bright young thing' can have. Can't stand the argument pushed by some that there are no options out there. Over the years, the nature of my work has given me involvement in a number of sports (including football clubs) and I can tell you the ability levels of key administrators cuts right across the range of the good, the bad and the darn right ugly; so when I make comments, it is with the benefit of some experience and also the ability to benchmark different operators.
  19. Dack does and wins a lot of free kicks for Rovers - would drive me mad if I was an opposition fan. We shouldn't complain when it happens to us.
  20. Because it's not my feckin job! If Rovers want to employ me as a consultant then I'll do all the research and due diligence necessary and I dare say make a much better fist of it than Sulhail, Waggot or Cheston. There are unpolished diamonds out there (both players and managers) and it is up to the football clubs, including Rovers to find them. Other clubs do!
  21. I don't think we are fit enough (both physically and mentally) to play for 90+ minutes - in fact much beyond 30 minutes! IMO, that again is down to Mowbray and his support team. I've long argued on here that the club's dumbing down from top to bottom is reflected in the likes of Waggot, Mowbray, Venus, Lowe, Benson and our sports' science / medical department and I think I'very been proven right. Sadly, I think there is now so much dead wood in our club that we no longer need the proverbial taxi but a mini bus! I think we need hungry, dynamic and innovative personnel in our key posts starting with a CEO who feckin knows what he is doing.
  22. Mowbray buys and sells our players. Mowbray picks the team. The buck stops completely at Mowbray's door. There are simply no excuses.
  23. Rovers last 5 games - lost 3, drawn 2 - points 2 Hudders last 5 games - won 3, drawn 2 - points 11 What a difference a young, hungry, dynamic and innovative manager makes. Cowley doing in weeks what Mowbray talks about doing in years. Sulhail, Venky's - in my opinion, Mowbray has us heading back to League 1. IMO, a managerial dinosaur well past his sell by date. Act now before it's too late. And sack Waggott for giving Mowbray a contract until 2022 - IMO, crass stupidity.
  24. I'd take a real hammering with the fans turning on Mowbray if that's what it takes. A defeat by the odd goal or two wont make a difference. Slight change in tone in today's LT (think someone had a word with him following yesterday's nonsense) but still, IMO, full of bullsh1t: https://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/sport/football/rovers//
  25. Surely a perceived 'nice', 'loyal' man of great 'integrity' would walk away !?!? I've said it before, I've never bought the public persona. IMO, the way he's hung our young players out to dry at times and some of his public utterances tell a different story.
