Mainly false ones at that.

There has been nary a falsie in any of my avatars.

Trust you to fail at spotting a fake.

[47er]

In our efforts to silence criticism of GM and his motives we've stooped to the same level as Kean! Did you realise we were doing that Abbey? No personal attack there then!

Just bloody fantasy. Must be the sea air!

Pack it in children

Just take it to pm's if you must but stop dragging the forum down

Any more and we'll be banning folk for the sake of the rest of the forum

I'm still waiting to hear a reasoned, intelligent response to why I'm wrong to raise concerns over GM's involvement with certain figures at the club. As you can see, I'm no longer using the word 'BRAG' since I think it would be somewhat unfair to implicate all of its 8000 members in the current power-struggle, when they're probably none the wiser as to what's going on at the inner circle. Until you're ready to talk like an adult with me (and that could be some time), I shall bid you adieu.

Totally agree;)

That's what I like to see, moderation with an iron fist

[Majiball]

The iron fist of irony as I'm sure 47er not long ago felt he was persecuted on here by others and attacked personally.

(I could be wrong)

[Roverall]

I envisage 'Toppers' as a wise-cracking young man who spends hours perfecting his bumfluff sideburns in the mirror.

NEXT!

[T4E]

Yet he's still an infinitely more interesting contributor than you.

[Proudtobeblue&white]

If only we had a drawing page, we could imagine what we all looked like, then again we could all put us proper faces up. To be honest I prefer the intrigue....

[ABBEY]

You should start a thread on other non footy bit , it's been done but its always funny

You wholly undermined what was - admittedly only "at best" - a mildly amusing quip with your "NEXT!" Such a shame.

Is there hair under that fashionable beanie hat?

does he speak good enough English and what experience does he have in England???

[gumboots]

i saw Lorient score 2 goals against his team in injury time and beat them 2-1 so he'd probably fit right in

[Blue blood]

Far too qualified. Ok it's in France not England but getting Montpelier (a town I like a lot but is hardly that big or can be called a powerhouse of French football) to win the French league on the budget he did was excellent. As is having a decent season this year despite the vultures taking several key players from his squad and having his small squad have the extra pressure of CL matches.

But why are we even discussing this? He's got experience. He's won something. He can spot a player. No way will he touch us with a barge pole or would we ask him.

Gary Bowyer keen for quick decision on Blackburn Rovers future

  Quote

Its the end of the season and backed with a good following and some fancy dress costumes to have a look at at the end of the game as well.

Asked what costume he would be donning, Bowyer joked: Im going as a football manager!

As funny as that is, it would have been funnier if Kean had said it.

Funny you should say that. I've been wincing at a few of Boywer's recent comments - particularly post-Pune - thinking "if Kean had said that...".

Thankfully he has also talked some sense in between so I've given him the benefit of the doubt!

[DE.]

Which comments in particular, Stuart?

[Stuart]

This one struck a bit of a Kean chord

http://www.teamtalk.com/championship/8685406/Blackburn-caretaker-manager-Gary-Bowyer-believes-the-future-is-bright-at-Ewood-Park

Granted Bowyer is a lot more likeable and doesn't have the baggage but still, reading those quotes in a Cumbernauld accent...

(Maybe in hindsight, it's the headline that caught my eye).

[DE.]

I'd certainly say the headline is exaggeration. All Bowyer's really saying is that we have a good young core to work with, which is probably true enough. I'm sure Gary knows as well as the rest of us that the future will only be bright if Venky's @#/? off.
