I'm hopeful that the 'Cantwell being ill' thing is a bit of a smokescreen and opportunity to rest him before tomorrow's game - he's undoubtedly the man with the bit of magic to turn a stalemate into a Rovers win.

Looking forward to seeing the fullest Ewood we've seen for a while, for an actual big game as well.
It'll be the biggest crowd my 9 YO will have been in, along with the atmosphere, etc.

Can't wait.

Taking my 6 year old mate sat with me on upper jack as always, she's understanding the magnitude of the game as well because I've not stopped hyping her up for it haha 

So all those sat in W11 my kids the one shouting her head off.

LOVES IT

 

Come on Rovers!!! Come on!!!!!

As long as they come at the right time with the right bodies on the end of them but it's s fair point we could well scab one from a set piece.

The night before the day after. 

Totally hyped for this one, more than previous years. 

Murder, I'm watching the darts, but thinking of footy

Idly wondering when Burnley last had a home gate of 26-27,000….back in their 1970s glory days, when a big club came?

Was back in work today, easing our way back into this year hence my presence on here intermittently through the day, is all I could think about today and tonight is no better. 

You know you love your club when all you want is a fat W over those dirty rat eaters 🤣🔵⚪️🔵⚪️

The apple never falls far from the tree, lying is obviously in the family DNA:

Imagine paying all that money to send your kid to Oxford and the best he can do is set up a betting syndicate 🤣 

They must be very proud, money well spent.

No Ohashi or Cantwell in the line up then either and we played with 10 men from 57 minutes, still got a result.

Stop peddling this negativity.

Best chance to beat these c***s in years! COYB

Time to restore the Pride of Lancashire back to its rightful place 🌹 

Don't forget to take your banner.

I do not get those calling Clarrots shit and useless and all that.  Not sure how one can seriously bad mouth a team higher than us in the table on their footballing abilities.

   I am so glad that dirty pc. of work Hannibal is not playing.  He's a naughty one that one, dirty. 

  I really hope we can win a do and send that lot home miserable.  A belated xmas pressie for Rovers fans.  A soft penalty for us to win the game toward the end will do me just fine.

I'd be delighted with Gueye bundling a cross over the line with his hand to seal a 1-0 win.

In the pub for this, drinking tea till we score 🤞 be on my own, lone Northener who understands the importance of this game.

Hope I don't get banned 👍

I actually think that you're in the pub more than I am, & (for those who know me) that's going some! Much respect (apart from the tea bit - kindly don't use that kind of language on these message boards  this is a respectable place!🤣)

I'm stuck in Sweden. It's not on rovers tv but I'll find a stream no doubt. To be honest I'm looking forward to it but dreading it at the same time. 

Please rovers do it for us overseas fans. 

As for Ashley Barnes.. He's unlikely to feature but if he does I hope he gets twatted one way or another... Preferably by a ball boy!
