Bristol City v Rovers. Wed 9th Dec. 7.45pm

Ridiculous if they don't yet know the outcome, how hard can it be to look at a quick video clip of the incident?  Or does it not matter so much cos it's 'only Blackburn'?

The game preview on the club site 3 hours ago said that they were still waiting for the outcome of Lenihan's appeal.

Presumably they have to let him play if it pends. Daft otherwise.

[only2garners]

I thought the idea was that the process was quick enough for a decision to be made before the next game. I guess there is still time yet.

It's ridiculous we are still waiting for a decision on Lenihan on the day of the game.

Would go assuming that Williams and Douglas are fit with:

Kaminski

Nyambe Ayala Williams Douglas

Holtby Johnson Rothwell

Elliott Armstrong Gallagher

Subs: Pears, Carter, Bell, Trybull, Davenport, Downing, Buckley, Dolan, Chapman

 

Given the number of players we've had out this season, that line up is not far off Mowbray's first choice 11 ie the players I think he would pick even with a full squad.

Dack would have to be in there somewhere but I don't think Travis would be guaranteed a start playing that formation.

The bench is weak defensively and other missing players such as JRC, Bennett, Travis etc would be on their normally, but if Lenihan is available and Williams is dropped to sub ( or vice/versa ) it's a strong 11.

[Bigdoggsteel]

I'd say Trybull will start instead of Johnson and Johnson will play against Norwich

In the past clubs have been informed of the decision by Tuesday afternoon if they have a Tuesday night match. Whether or not our Wednesday game is behind the lateness I'm not sure.

[windymiller7]

Hopefully we didn't fax the appeal over! 

[Prelude]

Is the game on Ifollow or Skysports only? Cheers

If Mowbray were to have been informed of the decision, is the club under any obligation to announce that ahead of the team sheets?

I don't think it's incumbent on Rovers to put out a press release. Any updates should be on the FA's website.

Do you think Mowbray might be playing a game with Bristol?

Sorry, it may not be much use in Sweden, but this from Lancs Live...

The game will be broadcast live on Sky Sports Main Event, with coverage scheduled to start at 7:00pm.

Alternatively, you can purchase a match pass from iFollow for £10. On iFollow commentary duty for Rovers will be Neil Yardley and Warren Lucy. You can also listen to live coverage of the game on BBC Radio Lancashire.

Thanks for the heads up. I shall investigate. Normally get an invite to purchase but not heard anything. Swag won't be happy on potential lost sales due lack of making supporters aware it is available.

[Leonard Venkhater]

Yeah, me too. No invite here either...

If I were a manager and this decision was being made on match day, I wouldn't be rushing to drop a piece of early team info.

Just wasn't sure if it was going to be out there anywhere regardless.

Im in Sweden aswell. Bought a match pass earlier today. Just hope its not audio only. 

[only2garners]

I don't think it is available on iFollow for the UK, because it's live on Sky. I've just been on the site and I'm not being offered a chance to buy a pass and Rovers' game preview talks about following the game on social media channels. I'm pretty certain if it was on sale here the club would be wanting to sell me a pass. I don't need one anyway, as I have Sky Sports - I won't be popular when my wife realises I need the TV - she has been enjoying my watching the games on the computer!

If you want to earn brownie points you can watch Sky Sports on your computer easily enough. All main events available via the Sky web site.

[only2garners]

Audio may indeed be available.

[Trinidad Rover]

It’s available on iFollow outside of the UK.

UK - Sky only.
