v Birmingham City (a) - 1/4/23

[Devon Rover]

Every game is huge from now on in. I feel like today is a very tricky one. But at least I've managed to (only slightly forcibly) pass a torch on to my youngest to keep the Rovers flame burning in the deep South West! :-)

A red-head as well! could do with one in mid-field!

A few of us will be meeting there from 11/12 onwards. Good to see as many rovers fans there.

Hope we sell out today!

It's like being forced to eat your vegetables, one day he'll look back and realise that it was the right thing to do. 

[K-Hod]

Setting off in the next half hour, COYB!

As much as I hope he could be the fiery central midfielder we could do with now, albeit in 2036, currently watching him run around ineffectively, not touching the ball, pointing at nothing, but seeming to be just about enjoying himself until he trips over, I suspect he might instead fill the niche void as a Keith Andrews impersonator.

No strolling around passing it pointlessly sideways thinking “we are in the top 6, we’re better than these” today Rovers.

Can we have that FA Cup underdog application from the first whistle please.

X 10. Start like the Rotherham annd Stoke games and it’ll be a long afternoon. These are no mugs.

I don't live in blackburn anymore and only get over to a few games a season mainly due to grassroots ko times

When we had our son i steered him towards rovers by buying him kits,taking him to games etc but also used to show him barcelona/messi on tv and buy their kits for him so that was his glory team

 

He's 12 now and a proud rover...asked for giant rovers emblem on his bedroom wall,rovers screensaver etc...also still asks for barca kits!

 

Gets no end of friendly stick off his glory hunting mates but i don't think he'll be changing teams at his age...so it is possible😁

Gets resurrected next weekend. 

[Gordon Gekko]

This new shirt is my favourite Rovers top in years, banger! had to buy from the macron website though as not available on the Rovers website 😂 

[WacoRover]

Not able to get the game on ESPN+. Still, I am looking forward to today, it’s winnable, & we certainly need to bolster our point total & run to playoffs. 

COYB!

Second player this season?

[Mattyblue]

Was it Szmodics you wanted snapped last time?

Unique approach to fandom, I’ll give you that.

As bad as Liverpool look today, maybe they need Morton back
