Think we'll have too much much for Blackpool tonight - they are really, really poor - think they'll struggle to cope with likes of Dolan, Thomas and even Szmodics. Lumped on at marginally better than evens and gone for £10 each on Thomas and Dolan as anytime scorers at 7/1 and 3/1 respectively. More quality reds to come! Tonight's 'quaffer' is a Douro Valley Reserva from Waitrose - highly recommended and terrific value at about £12.

I'll bet you £50 this is all futile nonsense and nothing will come of it. Loser pays £50 to charity of winner's choice. Just what have you got to lose given your certainty over the issue?

Who says we are pursuing it? We are almost 3 weeks post transfer window closure and seemingly zilch has been reported. Btw, when I referred to KC in an earlier post, it referred to 'Kings Counsel' and not a firm of lawyers! You keep believing Chaddy but, IMO, this one ran out of legs almost before the starting gun was fired!

IMO, not a chance BBD will accept this offer. In comparison to last season, this season has been moderate and he can't afford a repeat of this season next season otherwise the offers he gets for 2024/25 will be significantly less attractive financially. If I was Brereton's agent I'd be advising him to strike whilst the iron is relatively hot and secure a big signing on fee and a lucrative contract for 3 years or more.

IMO, EFL didn't blink and we did because we didn't really have a leg to stand on. I think all smoke and mirrors in an attempt to placate some of the fans who naively swallow the bullsh1t that I think spews out of Ewood.

Unbelievable. Just imagine where we'd be if we played well!!! Off to order my case of reds with the winnings. Thanks Ayala.

Are Rovers still fighting and says who? EFL will not blink - as custodians / governing body they have to be seen to be strong. Speed is of the essence in instances such as these. IF Rovers are serious about this then presumably they will be represented by KC and the cost for KC is feckin mega bucks (circa £2,000 / hour). I feckin wish Rovers would start doing things both right and well and I would then be at the front of the queue to praise them. Sadly, IMO, our club is shambolic and seem to make a dog's breakfast out of most things.

Back your instinct!

Unless we get a blow by blow account, which Broughton has promised!!!!, then we may never know with certainty. How many transfers do the EFL handle over the course of a season - I'm guessing at 750+ How many transfers do Rovers execute over the course of a season - 10 at most! I know where my money would be placed re the fault factor. IMO, the stench from Ewood is nauseating.

Enough to buy a very decent case of red with the winnings!

Give over! It's what I feel - put my money where my mouth is and lumped on Rovers at 19/10.

A banker home win for me following two creditable draws on the road. Couldn't think of better opponents for Rovers to face - to me, Swansea are an accident waiting to happen defensively (even more so than Rovers). Think Martin is vastly overrated and confuses himself as well as his team - another who likes 'to build', "we are 18 months in now - I hope we get a lot longer to keep building it". 3-0 to Rovers - Dack and Brereton twice.

Fully agree. Were the EFL to blame for the failure to complete on Brierley? I think not. Seemingly, Rovers submitted paperwork which was incomplete and incorrect. I think Rovers made a dog's breakfast of trying to complete the signings of both O'Brien and Brierley. If anyone on this MB applies for a passport, driving licence etc and fails to complete an application form correctly then the application is rejected. It's that simple and, IMO, Rovers have no one else to blame other than themselves. Yet again, I think the club is failing to communicate with its fans in any way, shape or form - it's appalling management and further evidence of the contempt with which we are treated. If any business, other than football, behaved in such a fashion then its doors would soon be closed.

Agree, hindsight is easy and wonderful. However, successful executive managers all have foresight and judgement and set the agenda rather than waiting for events to consume them! Sadly, IMO, Waggott and Broughton are just vacuous flounderers drifting along as the tide ebbs and flows.

I think there is an understanding the best offer was around the £8/9million mark and that is not 'very poor' given the circumstances we were in. We should have accepted and brought in 3 or 4 good quality players - all round, we would have been much stronger. Instead, no one at Ewood had the balls to call it.

I know what you mean! Did nothing for me either.

A picture paints a thousands words! IMO, Waggott day dreaming and somewhere else, Pasha 'what am I doing here', Broughton thoroughly pissed-off, Benson 'can't believe my luck' and 'lights on but no one's home' Lowe.

The fantasy world belonging to @Gav!!! There you go again - WHERE did I predict a Wigan win? By all means comment on my posts but please get your facts right and stop erroneous spinning in order to have a pop at me. Think the only utter bunkum relates to your delusional obsession with Josh Maja!

Can we drop all this nonsense about we'd have won, and even comfortably, if we'd taken our chances. Every professional football club have fans, and managers, spurting out if only we'd taken that chance or those chances, if only we'd defended better, if only referees were better. The league table does not reflect 'IFS' but is the resultant of the cold hard reality of results. I think at the moment we are a total sh1te football club from top to bottom playing, in the main, uninspiring and boring football on a sh1te pitch in an ageing and tired stadium - luck has played a huge part in us fluking a few results (that we didn't deserve) in the first half of the season. Just look at our results since the World Cup - we are heading for the bottom half of the league. We have just failed to beat bottom of the league Wigan at home who had scraped 3 points from their 9 previous games. It's indefensible. I think more and more supporters will vote with their feet and anyone who does not think our club is in crisis should wake up and smell the coffee.

Much improved second half. Hope he's not done his left hammy - saw him clutching several times.

'Absolute tosser' are your words! For God's sake, look at some of the 'great' teams - Leeds, Reaney, Hunter, Charlton, Giles, Bremer - Forest, Burns, Lloyd, - Liverpool, Smith, Souness - Arsenal, Adams, Keown, Viera, Storey, - Chelsea, Harris, Osgood - Man U, Keane, Scholes. All players with talent but who knew how to look after themselves, their team and the opposition! Has the penny dropped?

and why the feck would you want either of those relative managerial failures!?

Too many 'happy clappers'. You should have been around in the 60's/70's when folk invaded the pitch and remonstrated in front of the directors' box and then did the same in Nuttall street - I did my fair share! And the buggers listened!

I didn't. @neophoxreferred to him as a 'scumbag' - my view, we need one or two of those in our team. IMO, we are a bunch of mard boys with little passion or aggression. Travis, FFS, he'd get seen off at Pleasington on a Sunday morning.

Think you are having a laugh! IMO, both as soft as sh1te - likes of Souey, Batty, Keane, Andy Todd, Mokoena, Dioufy etc would have eaten them alive and them spat them out.
