Right you are Peacock.

Excellent posturing there, you're such a good person. Now that you have Peacocked your sanctity perhaps we can get back to Blackburn Rovers?

Can't disagree. Should have gone 18 months ago but that's for another thread.

Were we the only club in that position? Genuine question as it always seems to me that a multitude of clubs scramble around on deadline day.

I seem to remember last summer's window being fairly unanimously hailed as a good one.

Was it last season or the season before that this forum had a meltdown because Derby signed Graeme Shinnie before we signed anyone?

Certainly a talent with a good pedigree. I just think that the stars didn't align. His first kid, family in Germany and lockdowns in place, catching Covid and some niggling injuries. I thought he going to be the new Tugay after Preston away but it just wasn't to be.

I 'm relieved. Not necessarily happy, certainly not ecstatic, just relieved. Mowbray out.

After last Friday's depressing debacle I can only bring myself to check Rovers news to see if the manager is finally being held to account. Instead I read that an ineffective waste of a squad number is being rewarded for not much at all with a lengthy contract. Ffs.

I was there and it was my first away game. I have memories of Accrington town centre being totally blue and white, an Edgar Pickering Transit van with around 20 blokes in the back, a pub in Hapton with hundreds of Rovers fans on the car park, blue and white 'Ecky Thump' hats and walking down the side of the cricket club and seeing the packed mass of Rovers fans bouncing on the Longside. I was in the Cricket Field Stand with my mate and his Dad and, although I was only 10, I have a distinct memory of it being mainly Rovers fans in there.

Hope he eventually agrees. He's a busy bloke and has been a guest on a few podcasts. He's always good value and often manages to get a Rovers mention in.

As the saying goes "it's the hope that kills you" and Mowbray has killed us too many times for me to have any belief that his inconsistent, schizophrenic team will finish in the top six. I have no faith in Mowbray and would like to see a change.

Looking forward to this as the owner of a pair of customised Gazelles. Adidas designer and creator of the 'Spezial' range Gary Aspden might make a good future guest. He's a Darwen lad, Rovers fan and inspiration behind the iconic Blackburn Spezial.

For me you can't forgive Venkys for what they did by dismissing it as being in the past. I have no reason to doubt that you love the club so it puzzles me that you can readily forgive them for their crass, destructive disregard for it.

I'd ask Damien Johnson if he wanted to give it a go until the end of the season. I also wouldn't mind Gareth Ainsworth, I reckon he's destined to manage a bigger club than Wycombe.

Exactly what I thought. A very strange post that was.

Any agent worth their salt would be telling Nyambe not to sign anything and see what offers come in as his contract runs down.

To be fair to Bale, he did have a lot of injuries but he also didn't feature in a Spurs winning team for 2 years and he was ridiculed along with the club who had paid a lot of money for him. On that basis it's a fair comparison.

Gareth Bale?

It was more than "tuts and sighs". Myself and a mate had to restrain his son from chinning a bloke at Bramhall Lane when he shouted some vile abuse at Brereton as he warmed up from the subs bench.

Didn't Jimmy Armfield say words to that effect specifically about Rovers fans?

I instantly regretted opening this thread to find out what it was about. At the risk of seeming like an old curmudgeon, one aspect of bygone days that I yearn for is not having a clue who players wives/girlfriends are.

I'm shocked that some on this board seem irritated enough to put a negative spin on yesterday's result by emphasisng the defeat in the game before. *sarcasm mode off* (Vladimir Ivic said Rovers are the best team Watford have played this season by the way)

I think "the road to hell" is stretching it and nobody will ever know what would have transpired had Venkys not darkened our door. I can't forgive and forget I'm afraid.

How were we "on the road to hell"?
