Popular Post longsiders1882 Posted August 25, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted August 25, 2022 2 hours ago, JacknOry said: Yeah Stoke is a Dyche type team. Direct, long throw ins, and all that shenanigans. There is honestly more to Dyche than that - but he will play whatever way wins. The last 3 seasons are not representative of his time with us. His net spend was less than 5 million a season and he was playing a game of diminishing returns. Fair to say he probably won’t play tiki taka - and frankly why should he. The most entertaining football is winning football. Not one Burnley fan complained when we won promotion twice, when we went 23 undefeated, when we finished 7th in the premier league. It was only as the funds were withheld and he was trying to make chicken soup from chicken sh*t the gripes started. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chaddyrovers Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 @longsiders1882 how many players have you signed now and still no new striker? what do you think of your new keeper signing and does this mean the end of Peacock-Farrell there now?

I think this one will be 14 - but we lost 13. On the striker, basically Kompany has said we can’t afford the prices. Still hoping we might get a loan at least. Barnes can do a limited Job and Rodriguez is 33 and will need support. On BLF I just don’t know. We signed him then Dyche didn’t play him, loaned him out and signed a number 2. Whether Kompany doesn’t rate him - or if he himself wants to leave to be number 1 somewhere (which I would in his position) I don’t know but you’d imagine he’s on his way. 10 hours ago, AllRoverAsia said: I know nothing about work permit requirements apart from being more difficult post Brexit.

He has scored 2 in 5 this season though. I’m not sure what the Visa regs are - we’ve been doing some medicals in France apparently whilst visa’s were being worked on. We will be paying more on immigration lawyers than agents at this rate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What your view on Kompany's appointments and the signings you make so far? We’re going to have to take the rough with the smooth and be patient Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He came to us and turned the 2nd worst defence in the league into the second best within a month - and without signing a player. The following season he got us promoted in second. As I recall the main signing were Heaton for free, Vokes and Shackel - and Mee I think. Not sure what state Stokes squad is in but Dyche has it in his locker to make a quick impact. Agree though probably next season maybe more so than this one. Dyche didn’t sign Vokes or Shackell .. and we don’t do medicals abroad either by the way referring to one of your other posts … Heaton Arfield and Jones were the frees in the summer of 2013 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robbo_rovers Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 Long time viewer but don’t really post very much. However thought I’d share my experience today. Me and my 6 year are season ticket holders and often travel to the games by train (from Oxenholme). To be honest I hadn’t clocked until yesterday that Burnley were at Wigan. So we get to Preston and hoards of Burnley fans are waiting to get on. We’ve both got our Rovers shirts on so expecting some ‘banter’. Probably a good hundred fans chanting the w word at me. Oh and songs about Jack Walker. Anyway my lad didn’t really clock and assumed it was just rowdy football fans. However the train back was a different story. Waiting at platform 3 at Preston and the Burnley fans are across on platform 2. Some more chanting, and then their train is moved onto our platform. So me and my lad end up with dozens of Burnley fans screaming in our faces about all sorts. Luckily some staff saw what was happening and took us to one side away from it all. Oh and some more songs about Jack Walker. To be fair a couple of their fans came over and apologised for what was happening. I’m not from Blackburn so maybe I don’t quite understand the rivalry as a lot of you do. But surely if you see a Burnley fan with his 6 year old son you wouldn’t think screaming in their faces was acceptable? Some of these were fully grown men as well who probably have kids of their own. I know every fanbase have their idiots but surely they must have more than most? It definitely wasn’t a minority. Maybe I’m just being a bit of a snowflake. If it was me on my own I wouldn’t have thought too much about it. Luckily my boy didn’t seem too phased by it. Either that or he’s stronger mentally than I realise! 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awful that something like that should happen to you and your son who is only six. Unfortunately neanderthals are still roaming free and some see offensive abuse as 'banter'. In their gang they are pseudo tough guys but on their own they are as meek as lambs. Next time you are coming if the imbeciles are likely to be around drive down. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbo_rovers Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 Yes I’ll definitely check who they’re playing when getting the train in future. They’d just won 5-1, why not celebrate that rather than picking out a man and his son to chuck abuse at. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some very odd Stoke fans yesterday as well. 20-25 of them walking down Bolton Road pre-game singing the incredibly inventive song: “go on Stoke, go on Stoke”, the slightly odd “you can stick your fucking horses up your arse” to the police and the confused “where’s the Blackburn suicide?” to families walking down to the game, trying to provoke a punch up. They also jumped the barriers and tried to get into the Jack Walker lower when they scored. Very very odd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
