I don’t boo, but if the lot of them get booed off, manager included, at full time after a stinker then fair enough.

But of course you shouldn’t boo players in the middle of a game, what a ridiculously counter-productive thing to do.

I remember Andrews, Chris Brown and Ward all being booed before the games even kicked off which is pathetic, shows a distinct lack of intelligence.

The way this thread has gone is amusing. 

I've heard it before that Rovers fans tend to be far more patient and forgiving than most.

 

So anyway, Tony Mowbray.....

Rovers fans are are incredibly patient and forgiving!! (as is the nature of most true born and bred Blackburners) It usually takes a  long string of very poor performances and that feeling of there being little  to no light at the end of the tunnel  for things to start getting tetchy in the stands. On the rare occasion things get nasty(ie. the Kean debacle)  it's normally because the manager or a player has done or said something completely inappropriate towards the fans or club.

That could well be true in the modern era.....

But that wasn't the case before Jack came, we were far less accepting of shite on the pitch and in the boardroom and let them know about it.

#Venkys out (Think bigger picture)

yeh, but like you you say... different era completely, people had far far thicker skin back than, Standing terraces made a big difference too because unlike now you could shout something out without sticking out like a sore thumb in your seat, plus crowds where mostly full of half pished proper working class men still and part of going to games was for them to be able to let off some steam after a weeks hard graft! 

 

Pretty sure Wilcox for example used the grief he got as a youngster to motivate himself to become one of the very best left wingers in the league at the time, even getting a few england caps in the process, only the likes of Giggs where ahead of him as left wingers at that time but Giggs was world class

Oh yeah---Andrews!! How could I have forgotten him?

Did Delfuenso get booed? I know I came close!

[Upside Down]

Never Really understood the Keith Andrews hate. I thought that was bang out of order to be honest.

 

I remember Ashley Ward getting a lot of stick and we certainly were not shy of letting Brian Kidd know how we felt.

I'll never for get us all chanting "Tony Parks' blue n white army" and in between some guy was yelling "Fuck off Brian Kidd!"

 

To be fair though, by that point we had an absolutely abysmal season.

Sorry Wheelton I can’t agree, when they are on the park we HAVE to get behind them, encourage and cagoule an improvement. Would you try your best if your colleagues called you an inept wanker. I don’t think so. Boo at the end if you really have to, but not until the end of the game.

Maybe if it rains, but I get too hot wearing them.

don't need to read it, Tony changes his tune from one week to the next. win a game and it's 'we have the abilty to be up in the mix' lose a few and it's 'we're just not good enough and don't have the finances to compete with the teams in and around the top 6...' he's just a blow hard never-has-bin dinosaur of a manager.

My personal favourite excuse is when he bemoans either the size or quality of his own squad as if it’s something that has nothing to do with him. But he’ll be the first to tell you he doesn’t make excuses.

He's just stating the bleeding obvious, more like.

[Armchair supporter supremo]

It's really just flannel to satisfy for those sheepies that get 50% of their rovers information and news from the LT (and the other 49.5% from the official rovers site and social media accounts)

[tomphil]

He talks that much waffle at times these days that when he does speak with some clarity it's hailed.

Surely he should be talking clear common sense at all times ?

Listened to Eddie Howe yesterday talking about how he's about to approach things at the Newcastle madhouse. Never fail to be impressed by him when he speaks, clear lines in the sand, clear intentions and firm delivery. 

Not comparing him directly to TM they are different eras but you'd never get the likes of Howe shrugging their shoulders. It's either yes we are doing it this way or we aren't and if it doesn't work i'll hold my hands up and fall on the sword.

Mind you maybe in a decades time he'll sound altogether different.

Not really sold on Howe to be honest, but good luck to him though and only time will tell.

 

The problem I see is he seems the type of manager that needs a long length of time to really put his stamp on a club to get them all on the same page as him, I just don't see him getting more than a year max to really get them moving forward, especially once he starts spending serious money! they'll want to see results pretty sharpish I expect

I agree i don't think he's the right man for that job they'll be on his back in no time, you know those great Newcastle fans compared to the shitty Rovers ones 🙄

He'd be perfect for what they allege they want to do at Ewood but he'd never touch this job whilst he can still flog himself in the Prem. His methods seem better suited to building up smaller clubs who have a decent budget and genuine ambition.

Nobody hated him. We just thought he was a poor player. If anything, we blamed the manager for signing him.

[1864roverite]

Let’s be brutally honest Andrews was utter shite being similar in status to our  current managerial set up! Mowbray is out of his depth and is completely stale 

[Wood26]

Heard someone try start a “Mowbray out” chant today when 1-0 down and was quickly shouted down by those around them.
