A quality manager sticking the year out with his troops despite shitty ownership and landing a better job in the summer? What a novel concept.

Isn't he staying for the season because his release clause drastically reduces in the summer?  Southampton saving some money by waiting?

I’ll ask you again, why have you called out ST Holders for 14 years when you have been spending pretty much the same over a season on match tickets?

Because season ticket money is accountable as soon as it is paid. Individual match day sales will depend on the quality of the product. In my opinion the product has not been good enough. I doubt very much that you know how much I spend on match tickets.

It's yourself having a go at other Rovers fans for not joining in or staring at you for protesting. 

The atmosphere will change depending on whether we are winning games

Honestly, I don’t why you’re allowed to behave like this on here.

You don’t debate like an adult.

You are writing figments of your own imagination and claiming I have stated these as my own views.

I know why your conduct has worsened in recent days.

You’re as upset as the rest of us about the situation, but instead of hitting out at the culprits, ie the owners, Suhail and Waggott, you take it out on fellow supporters, whose views have the audacity to differ from your own.
 

You’re also upset about Ismael being hopeless, because you couldn’t understand why some of us believed he was a poor appointment, and have been proven right, (unfortunately ).

I could’ve been on here rubbing your nose in it about that, but chose to rise above it.

I’m asking you one last time to stop with your provocative and unnecessary quote posts.

If you want to have a sensible, respectful debate, no problem, but leave the puerile aggravation out.

Thank you.

rigger, you’ve said repeatedly over the years that if it isn’t a night game you generally go, so I can have a decent guess how much that costs and it won’t be far off a ST.

You have funded the regime more or less as much as any ST holder these past 14 years, sorry.

This season it is, night games, Saturday late kick-offs, Sunday games, Bank holidays. All due to unavailability of public transport.

[Mattyblue]

Obviously I wasn’t talking about just this season as you know.

Its ok, we’ve all had to make a conscious decision re this regime - you’ve decided to carry on attending over the years to support the team, no shame in that.

[K-Hod]

Insulting people isn’t okay on here, the policy hasn’t changed, so let’s not do that please. (This includes calling people fools).

If people want to buy a season ticket, they have the right to do that. If people don’t want to, they have the same right too.

Thanks.

I don't need to exonerate myself, it is my choice that I pick and choose games. Bye the way price is not the biggest issue for me. Kick-off times and days are.

That's the point.  It's your choice to buy tickets the way you want.  Just as it's my choice to renew my season ticket.  I don't see the problem with either one.  It's all down to personal choice.  Neither choice, indeed not buying a season ticket or matchday tickets at all is right or wrong.  It's just personal choice and nobody should be castigated for making that choice.

Supporters staying away, will make it easier for the opposition. These are hard times for Blackburn Rovers at the moment, but I will be in my seat as usual against Sheff wed,  cheering Blackburn Rovers. 

I will be in my seat as usual against Sheff Wed - but in my case in a catatonic state befitting this zombie club.

It's like Dirty Harry's partner and his reply:

"why do you do it Harry? I don't know, I really don't"

Obedience : “Complying with or submissive to authority “.

I think that covers what I meant quite nicely.

You are splitting hairs. 

I'm doing what I've always done, it isn't me changing, it isn't me being obedient and doing what others ask.

Back to football.

Having seen the "highlights" of their home defeat to Hull yesterday, if Ismael can't set up Rovers to give Wednesday a thrashing we are well and truly in the mire.

If they saw us on Friday, they will be saying the same thing.

We won’t be in the mire this season whatever happens on Tuesday.

In fact if we win it might mean Ismael dining out on it, and that’s not a good thing.

Total laughable post. I have totally respectful to yourself and others. If you this I didn't know the situation before the last 2 weeks then you are deluded. We know the issues, but I want to back the players on the pitch. If you want to protest during the game then fine with, that your choice and I respect that but I would hope you respect my viewpoint. Similar on STH whether you buy one or not, everyone decision should be respect

exactly Parson, 100% agree and I have mentioned about people understanding and respecting their decision whatever that is

[davulsukur]

Our only real hope of getting something is if the Sheff Wed players don't turn up due to not being paid. 

It's the battle of the shite owners. 2 poor squads but Sheff Wed have the ace up their sleeve of having a far superior manager, as opposed to our utterly dreadful one.

Can't for the life of me see us getting a win, we'll be lucky to score a goal these days. 

I think we'll see a similar game to the Boro one. We start slow, concede (maybe twice?), put in a horrific first 45mins and then maybe come out for the 2nd half and show a bit more but not quite enough to rescue anything.

[neophox]

Lose or draw he has to go..

[Tomphil2]

From what iv'e seen of Sheff Weds they always give it a go but same as last season they just aren't very good.

Nobody has to be very good to beat us under this coach with this depleted now rudderless depressed looking squad.

 

[Upside Down]

You know how players swap shirts at full time, I wonder if we can swap ownership instead?

Their Players still haven't been paid I believe and must be near to mutiny,indeed,if we cant beat this lot well...surely,surely we cant lose six on the bounce can we ?!!!

1-0

I'm guessing it'll be their lowest following for quite a while given how their season has gone badly tits up, sounds familiar? A truly shocking attendance awaits. Fans of both teams should just go on the pitch and have a tug-of-war and the winner gets 3 points, it'll be more interesting than a game of football.

I've zero interest in attending and I even feel like not watching it, again. But I will do, I think its more like morbid curiosity now though as to how shit we can be. We've had some really shit managers but I don't think I've disliked one as much as VI since Kean and Coyle, I think he's done it in record time though tbh this many games in. Nothing to like about him as a manager and comes across as an all round twat in general. Of course the vast majority fully expected it too.

Lol.

[roverblue]

Expecting a battering, this will be my last game at Ewood for the season (and beyond).

[Browjd]

It makes me laugh talking about sacking VI. We don't sack Managers - that costs money. They have to actually leave on their own...
