Only If it leads to a goal or penalty.

If it leads to a corner which leads to a goal then the attacking team benefits.  If it is borderline there's no real issue but I've seen a couple where the attacker was 3 feet off and the linesman played on. 

Yep never seen as few offside decisions in games ..lucky if theres two a game !

We re doing our business quietly ..and for a messageboard this is is hard to take  because weve nowt to argue about !

Hot weather ..lack of rumours makes many on here tetchy !

What England did last night was nothing different than clubs resting players in the early rounds of the FA Cup /Check A Trade .Even better guaranteed into the next round !

Could have played our first eleven .and still got beat ..picked up injuries ..cards etc  and Southgate would have been crucified again.

I bet Shrewsbury wished they d sacrificed the Check A Trade like we did ..

Different groups, but it is a mad game tonight. Awful defending, worse finishing and some really bad fouls.

But good to watch ..!

Just dont want too many groups decided before the third games .

It is quite funny the impatience - I was reading the Shrewsbury board a few days ago and they were moaning that they their new manager had not made a single signing within his first week of being there. Three days later he signed two in a day and they all loved him.

Well know things move slowly in Venkyland - Ill start to worry in a week or two.

Think things will happen a little later with TM out at the World Cup for at least  ten days scouting ...

And if you believe that you ll believe anything ..☺️

Then we re on schedule !

I thought they looked all right against Germany other night. Played some nice stuff,  and knocked it about well. 

But wow, today was garbage.

Maybe I was fooled between friendly and competitive.  Personally,  reckoned today would be 0-0 or 1-1 draw.

With some fun gambling due to commence over the next month, good to see me laser accurate as per. 

Im glad it wasnt only me Silas ..i had Saudis to beat Russia ..my betting fund will be empty in a weeks time !

Because he’s well passed it. I honestly think it’s a waste of our wage budget, especially with how tight it is. 

This has got to be one of the quietest summers that’s I can remember- I’ve given up checking the Blackburn Rovers News Now sight- it just feels like it’s the same few players being linked.

Although I’m not worried yet, without a few fresh faces, next season will be a battle again. One wonders what a signing might have done for season ticket figures too...

We didnt make our first signing last summer til mid June..time yet .As for a signing influencing Season ticket sales ..i dont really think so!

.As an example, It might imply that all the good news from India was fake news...thatTM has not been given what he requested....that he is having to make do...that he is having to use money that might have bought a younger, better quality winger to strengthen another position...therefore ..new contract for Craig...

...or we ve actual got money to spend ..(can afford giving Conway a new probably reduced one year deal)....a sudden influx of young players going to be added the squad ..an old disciplined head required to integrate the new players into the Blackburn Rovers way of thinking... show them squad etiquette of a winning disciplined happy squad to hopefully  continue where we left off last season.? This is how we do it lads ..

Continuity ?

There is no way Conway will start most games next season 

Spot on and im sure his contract will reflect that.

“I know that Craig looks after all the discipline side of things within the dressing room for myself and the staff.

“I don’t live in their dressing room so if someone is five minutes late and I’m on the phone, Craig manages that and makes sure that the dressing room is managed properly, professionally and efficiently. His personality allows him to do that.”

 

And that says it all !

One thing is for sure - there hasn't been a stampede from other clubs wanting to snap Conway up. That tells me a lot.

And that works in Rovers favour if they do want him as a bit part experience player ..they can offer him less .

Going off TMs comments about recruiting young up and coming talent into the squad ,keeping someone like Conway may not be a bad thing.He seems like a good professional,never seem to hear anything untoward regarding his life outside football and has Championship experience to pass down to the (hopefully) new young recruits that TM is aiming for .

TM made it clear to Payne that he will be a bit part player at the club and im sure Conway will have been told the same and any new contract will be influenced by that fact. Im sure it will be a "Sorry Craig ..you aint gonna get much playing time but your presence here  could be influential to the young squad so we re only offering you so much ..take it or leave it ". 

Really cant see Conway getting a more substantial deal if not probably a reduced deal ..the Club hold the cards not Conway.

I thiught the exact same when I looked at the Derby and Fulham teams yesterday 

Yep ..and the subs too...some very  strong squads in this league  ..OUR league  (sounds better !).

Albeit Play off teams ..the championship is going to be a severe test 

Guy Fawkes? 

...and big Tony watching on from the stands 

Just realised what a step up its going to be for us looking at the names in the teams Boro and Villa have playing tonight ..

Eh? That first paragraph makes no sense.

Second one. Great idea. What are YOU going to suggest to make that more likely?

And it’s ‘you’re’.

Free bar one hour before kick off Stuart...drop YOUR inhibitions then and you can join in.

As for the unreserved seating for eight back rows   in the BBE i think it  would  cause more aggro than its worth.People get very precious over THEIR seat.

16 hours ago, Stuart said:

If you think about it, they don’t have to move.

Just get there early enough to claim a seat.

If your going to do that then you may as well make the whole ground unreserved seating.....like away games which if i remember rightly many on here complained about not getting their allocated away seat ..so think that wont work somehow!

Better idea would be if people all over the ground put a bit more effort in and became more vocal as one .
