not on topic but .....

A pirate goes to the doctor, worried the moles on his back are cancerous

"It's ok" says the Doctor "They're benign"

"Count 'em again Doc" says the pirate. "I reckon there be at least ten"

Well it's mi birthday and I've had a couple but I just wish tomorrow there could be 20 thousand singing:

I was born in The Blackburn End, I was born in The Blackburn End,

Knives are made for stabbing, guns are made to shoot,

If you come in The Blackburn End we'll all stick in the boot.

I was born in The Blackburn End.....

( to the tune of Wandering Star, for the uninitiated)

RTID.

Last heard in an Irish bar downtown Sofia 2002, sung so very eloquently by a very drunk Rovers exile now residing in far flung shores who used to post on here as Waggy.

I was there too Gav, great,great memories and you're right, they can never be taken away.

I'd like some more! Different times I know but we need to sign up to a similar mentality.

[Gav]

Proper fans, our time will come again.

I was there, we stopped in Amsterdam and travelled over to Rotterdam by train for the match, there was an ultra in a bomber jacket on a phone everywhere we went and had to be driven there on a police coach. Arrived and Feyenoord fans were throwing bottles and bricks at us from over that wall outside, we went over that bridge above them and all of a sudden i had this overwhelming need to relieve my bladder...

I remember it was full of lads from back home that didnt have tickets, mainly because some lads just went for the trip besides the fact they couldn't get a ticket and got rounded up and escorted to the game... Ended up 2 rows of people to 1 row, stewards barracading the entrence to the terraces trying to stop fans, almost Hillsbrough mk2!

Walking round red light district that weekend, it was completely populated by Blackburn fans diving in and out of brothels, absolute carnage. I hope you all visited the nurse, you know who you are! 😉

I agree Gav. We will rise again.

David Thomspons first goal in Sofia in that first clip

He also seems supportive of our cause, although he # Bristol Rovers not Blackburn Rovers.....can someone set him straight as I don't have twitter.

We should be hankering after a side that might challenge the Championship play offs now and again not one touring around Europe. Them days are gone for good.

Anyone see the drone at Bradford?

Whilst I may disagree, some want disrupt the wolves game - what better way. Could easily create a banner for a drone also.

If only we knew someone with a drone ;-)

Problem is they aren't very cheap and you can be arrested for flying it in certain places - I know P would do it but I wouldn't ask him through fear of him losing it.

Thing is though, I reckon the reck outside manxman is probably a place you can legally fly them...

[Stuart]

Was there a reason for it? Can't see anything about a protest theme.

Game stopped for three minutes. Probably while Sky indentified that it didn't contain any credible copyright-infringing filming equipment - or live streaming.

Never said there was.

Some posters, Gav etc want to stop the game to make an impact, I personally dont agree with that method but it certainly stopped the game for a short time yesterday - hence mentioning it here for people interested in "protest ideas"...

Its been done before in 2014 when an Albanian fan flew a drone with an offensive flag over the pitch against Serbia (fierce rivals) the game got abandoned.

Obviously any losses would be reimbursed from the WAR fight fund. 😉

Otherwise a social media whip round would sort it.

I saw somebody on here suggested one of those trailers with the big triangular advert boards....

Saw one Friday in the back alley behind the Godfather in Darwen. Says the vault on it. Surely somebody knows the owner and can negotiate a borrow???

Would cause havoc on the back of a broken down taxi.

That seems the way to go.

A chicken drone.

Loads of drones on here

Seriously though there's always a few being flown about on Witton Park. Personally I think they should be completely banned before they start causing problems but needs must I suppose.

[Gav]

Absolutely no appetite for protest so its a mute point anyway sadly.

The clubs hasn't been in this position for 30yrs and hardly a dissenting voice yesterday which was really disappointing for me.

I'm all for supporting the team, but my god we need some that can actually see the bigger picture here because we're going down without even a whimper.

It got to the point under that lying drunken **** where I actually wanted us to lose the odd game if it ensured anger from the fans and owners. I took iceman to task over wanting it yesterday, but if it means Rome will start burning, its the last resort and possibly our only chance of making at least a stand, Iceman was probably right.

We need some anger, we need some disruption, because at the moment I feel like just closing the laptop and giving up the ghost I'm that frustrated at the lack of interest and thats gotten worse since WAR was setup, now we have organised doing sod all.

Leaflets? joined up protest? working with other clubs? tennis balls? adverts? media interviews? anything?
