RIP Paul & condolences to your family and friends. It's news like this that makes you aware of the conveyor belt moving steadily along, not to mention your own position on it.. I remember Bradshaw being a big lad with strong hands, and to me he looked like a new type of keeper in Rovers colours, after the grace of Roger Jones and the more agricultural John Butcher. It certainly marks the passage of time for us old gimmers 😉 RIP Pau Bradshaw - a proud product of the Blackburn Rovers tradition for cracking keepers.

I think this will be the mirror image of the fixture under JDT at Carrow Road, with their players running rings around our bamboozled and disoriented mob who resort increasingly to cynical tactics to try to stop them. It was one of Leo's better games, and the Dolan / Sammie combo did a great job. Can't see past a reverse here, unless there is something up JE's sleeve. The downgrade goes on.

Is it worth anyone actually asking people at the club where the money from the Wharton sale is right now? Is it in our UK bank account? Has it been transferred overseas? Whose money is it? Will it show as a transaction on our income statement / balance sheet? Has it gone into reserves, or is it being used as working capital? Or has Fat Boy Balaji just snorted it up his odious nostrils or worse? I'd kinda like to know...

Well, the weather forecast is for a wet evening in South Wales, so the lads will have their work cut out if they want to put on a show. Mind you, I always think football is a much better game in the rain, as a player, as it makes things a bit unpredictable.. Just ask Tim Flowers 😉 Just look at how full the ground is for that game 😞 Riverside rocking, but a distant memory of nearly 30 years ago.

Nobody gives a shit. If it wasn't for the spectre of relegation that the club has somehow managed to create from nothing, this would already be a dead rubber, with nothing more to play for than simply putting one foot in front of the other. Yawn. Wake me up when the season is over.

All the good work undone. All the hard work still ahead. Can we turn this around? COYB!

Feckers.

Shhhhh!!

Well, so far we are playing like Grown Ups. Long may this continue!

GALLLYYYYYYYY!!!

ONE JACK WALKER, THERE'S ONLY ONE JACK WALKER loud and proud around the confines of Cheepdale

Erm.. Have you been asleep for a few years? £££ money talks.. chirpy chirpy cheep cheap 🙂

Fleck done his ankle. A loss if we have to put Garrett on in his place 😞

Rovers following in Excellent Voice on the stream.. COYB!!

SAAAAAMMMMMMMMIIIIEEEEE!!

IS it being played on Blacksnape?

You probably need to go easier on the moisturiser mate. How old was the knobhead who refused entry? 18? 13? Some folks just get off on making drama in other folks' lives. Venkys are like that with their 'ownership' of our proud club. Feck em all.

Let's see which team 'turns up'. Anybody's guess at this point. Football is a funny old game... unless you are losing and your club has been invaded by bodysnatchers, cheats and liars... just saying...

The season is over, bar the shouting. Today could well mark the point at which Rovers sink to their lowest point in terms of outlook, reputation and credibility amongst our own long suffering fans, if we continue the headless chicken (pardon the pun) football we've played for too many games now. As Abbey says further up the page, we need the team to MAN UP, grow a pair of hairy horrible balls, and give a performance worthy of the vocal and dedicated travelling support that will be there with hope in their hearts, a song in their throats and a tear in their eyes 'for what might have been.' I hope the loudest chants on the day call for the exit of the fowl ones and their despicable disciples from our beloved club. The cleft-stick is unbearable - losing is unpalatable, and losing like wimps makes a mockery of Rovers fans and the club - BUT winning papers over the cracks in the shit show that has brought us to this painful state, and allows the shocking merry go round to continue flailing away to oblivion. I know what I choose - an honourable exit isn't possible any more for anyone. Moving forward means that everyone loses, and regaining pride in our club (not just our self-image as fans of one of the oldest brands in the game) means chowing down on a well-filled shit sandwich. For me it has to be: F-OFF VENKY-RAO-DESAI HALF WITS F-OFF SUHAIL-SHADOW-SKULKER F-RIGHT-OFF-SHADY-CONNIVING-SELF-AGGRANDISING-WAGGOTT Get them gone, and I will start to believe we can make Blackburn Rovers rise again.. Today is likely to hurt, either way... but COYB!

It is still a lot of people, and ones who will make a lot of noise. Let's hope that the team give them something positive to shout about. On such matters does a season turn. Come on You Blues! F-OFF YOU DELUDED VENKY-RAO-DESAI HALF GOONS F-OFF YOU SNEAKY SHADOW HIDING SUHAILS F-OFF YOU CONNIVING CHEATING LYING F-WAGGOTT

I am sure I'm not in a minority expecting our season to not improve in the foreseeable. We need to avoid going into a tailspin after that needlessly pathetic performance on Tuesday, and man up for the trip to the grim and desolate wasteland visible from Tockholes. Can't see anything to put a smile on our faces to be honest. Would love it if we could get a good result, but not holding my breath. Nobbers 2 Rovers Nillington Smythe. Balls. Needed.

Steady on now - 'work'? C'mon, what you meant was, does the Rovers CEO find the commute to Blackburn a bit of a stretch financially, on his £25,000 per month salary? Yeah, my heart bleeds for the bugger too. NOT.

I've got some idea...

Thank you (NOT!) for that stimulating and pleasant internal representation you just installed in my brain..
