Anyone else notice Mowbray at full time yesterday, turning to the directors box upstairs and saluting someone up there?

 

Maybe his wife was there.

Does she work for the club? Thought it was admission only to essential staff?

Or people deemed as ‘club legends’ it seems, somehow Dunn wangles his way into ewood, wonder if it’s under the guise of scouting for Fleetwood.

Who knows these days. If it's just essential staff what do you need so many stewards for? No fans. And why are Dalglish and Ferguson for example attending games in director boxes if it's just essential staff? 

Get the fans forum to ask Waggott the question?

Given Pasha has been liking pro Tony posts on Twitter and TM referenced him the other day, it could be him? I wasn’t sure if he was in England but sounds like he could well be.

Supplying drizzle cake to the players is 'essential'.

First comment on the highlights on Youtube is someone saying "Where are all the Mowbray out brigade now?"

Astonishing. 1 win in 7, 4 points from 21. We get a win against a very poor Millwall and everything is now rosey?

Its like a religious cult. Just fit the facts to suit the beliefs.

Club directors are allowed to attend and they are both directors of some description.

Just check the tip of his nose.

Socially distanced, wearing a mask and upwind.

Yeah I started joining in under the "Its the Venkys we need to replace etc" comment. I didn't last long though, as I really can't be arsed discussing things with absolute planks like that, they wind me up too much.

Crazy how 30-40 year olds struggle with a debate and not making it personal.

Guess that's the level of maturity in that group.

I was pretty astonished to see that an ex colleague of mine and massive Rovers fan, who was part of the group with whom I travelled all over the place following the club in the 1980s - was one of the worst culprits in terms of blindly defending Mowbray and not allowing anyone to criticise him or the club. I'm just hoping that in his case it isn't dementia setting in, as he'll be into his 70s by now, because he was never slow to criticise players and managers back in the day, very vocally. Odd behaviour.

It’s fear of another Coyle or Kean that keeps that up, and also weirdly a lack of ambition. People seem to think being rubbish in the 70s is relevant now. But ignore the massive period of success in between. The lack of Leadership and structure at the club is the basis of his popularity, and people buy into his nice guy working class rubbish 

Not to mention the infrastructure that jack has put in place since to stop things like the 70s happening in future or at least give us a massive advantage in those situations. But yeah keep Tony , swag and Venus . Forget there trying to demolish all that and be happy we arnt in league 1 or Bolton (which is the most pointless and stupid comparison in an arguement )

I actually messaged an ex colleague to ask if his FB account had been hacked when I saw him defending Mowbray and his selection and tactics. This was a guy who played and coached and used to be damning in his criticisms after every loss.

Strange ones. The usual profile is someone who will blindly back anything the club does or says. On Monday they will be vehemently defending the incumbent, if on Tuesday said person is sacked by Wednesday it was the right decision. But when fans who also have the capacity to criticise are bunkering in it really points to some bizarre phenomenon of the individual being bigger than the club. Not even blindly backing a king kenny type legend of the game, tony bloody Mowbray. Weird

Yes strange times. You can see the same thing happening in politics at the moment.
