[Archived] Banner In Blackburn End

[Tony Diamond Inc]

Because we've lost two points against United and one against Southampton on referee mistakes alone.

We lost points versus Southampton because we werent good enough to hold on to a lead. Ditto Man United. Fair enough, the referee's made some bad decisions, but it certainly wasnt solely down to them.

Bad officiating can only be blamed so many times, things can only happen so many times until you have to start looking slightly deeper for the cause. We bring these things on ourselves by leaving the door open for teams. How they get through that door is incidental.

T4E, I strongly disagree, we defended for our lives on Saturday only to lose two points to incompetence on the officials part. Manure could say they desrved something from the game, however we could also say that we deserved three points bvecause we defended resolutely adnstopped them scoring a legitimate goal. That followed a refereeing perfomance against Southampton that will go down in history, and again we were the victims.

I know it seems like we are looking to blame everithing on the referees, but in those two games dodgy decisions DID cost us points, and that cannot be argued!

Your just going off the subject now. Someone needs to organise a banner of some kind. I sit in the top tier of Blackburn End and the banner could be hung down from the ledge and over the heads of all the fans in the lower tier. Just a thought?

[Hughesy]

1st of all we need to check with rovers if they will allow it.

One thing for sure is that they will not allow it to cover any sponsorship boards.

Maybe we should have one saying.

“Refs don’t like us, we don’t care!”

Anyone know how many years since Burnley last beat us?

Have a look here Hughesy - on the front page - about half way down on the left hand side. It's all on there you know.

[Linny8]

I reckon that the Burnley banner would be the best idea. What about hanging it over the wall at the front of the walkersteel so that the tv can get a glimpse of it and really cheese off the dingles!

[broadsword]

Please not the Burnley banner, for Ethels sakes'.

So embarrassing.

[Linny8]

Embarrassing to the clarets! Can you imagine their faces when they see it . Just think.............

[broadsword]

Why? They won't even be at the ground.

Opposition fans will wonder why we're more concerned with little Burnley (not even in our division) than with them.

Weird obsession.

[Hughesy]

I agree. No point going on about them when they have not even beat us for 25 years. Not much of a rival there.

Bolton should be our rivals

Bah Humbug, you mean minded spoilsport.

Seriously though i'm not the only one who finds this banner idea totally pointless..

Now if somebody was to take it into the away end at Burnley.. well thats a different matter.

[Linny8]

I like the burnley rivalry because its not one way. I know some Bolton fans and they dont give a stuff about blackburn they've got their heads in the clouds thinking that they and Man u are the worst enemies! We also never sing songs about bolton unless we're playing them which i think represents how much we care about them.

[bob fleming]

Ste - I think you're just the man for such a mission. Good luck.

And Goodbye

Why should we care about Burnley though? They havent beaten us for 25 years and to be fair its not very often we play them.

When we last did we beat them easily so not much to argue about.

Man u couldnt give a monkeys about any1 but Liverpool and Man City

[Drakefyre]

If we're going to get any banner, the penalty one is the best.

[Hughesy]

If we're going to get any banner, the penalty one is the best.

Agreed, however how can we get it updated for each game we dont get one?

[Linny8]

But also they are one of a few teams who we can brag about them not beating us for 25 years. Isn't that good for a bit of banter? and the fact that we don't play them that often just makes it more interesting when we stuff them 5 - 0

I was going to send Hughesy and Superstella.

[Hughesy]

How many games since a penalty any1?

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

'We haven't had a penalty' boo ho ho,sob,sob,sob...PLEASE DONT BOTHER!!!

[Alex Rover]

Spoil sport. There's no need to add any light-hearted humour in what is already destined to be nice relaxing, stress-free season

[No Nay Never]

Man u couldnt give a monkeys about any1 but Liverpool and Man City

Leeds ????

[Blueboy Downunder]

sounds good. but who is gonna organise it and how big is it gonna be??

it might persuade any given referee to point to the spot in favour of us and then prey that whoever takes the kick, actually scores from it.

[Ossydave]

Barmyflags.co.uk could sort it and have done a good job in the past. Not sure how the design/payment etc can be arranged though.

United aint too fussed about them at the moment as there in divison 1. Still think City and Liverpool are bigger rivals too

[USABlue]

Even I agree. Bin the Burnley flag idea. Go with the penalty one its a good idea. It will highlight the lack of penalties to all. It may even tempt a ref into giving us one just so he can have his 5 minutes of fame, we all know how some of them like that.
