They probably struggle to plan what's on the menu at lunch, so I have my doubts

https://www.skysports.com/football/news/34651/13306020/var-controversial-fa-cup-decisions-prove-costly-so-is-football-better-with-or-without-technology Sky Sports review every dogsh*t decision in the FA Cup this weekend, except the one at Ewood Park 🧐🧐 The Venks have made us irrelevant 😂

I don't think we can be particularly bitter about them either way, they have chanced their arm, we've mugged ourselves off. It could have been them or any other club with the means currently, if Coventry or Stoke had come in for him a couple of weeks back it would have been the same story. If anything, if he keeps them up it makes our owners look even more stupid and incompetent to the rest of the public (we already know).

It's going to be the perfect week for Rovers fans. Albion 1-0 Rovers (Armstrong Pen) Armstrong and Mowbray all smiles and hugs at FT, we look on despairingly Plymouth buoyed by cup fever come to Ewood smelling blood in the chaos and stink out another 1-0 win.. Or maybe we beat both WBA and Argyle 3-0 😂

Brains from Thunderbirds 😂😂😂😂 brilliant FAB - f*** all happening at Brockhall?

I'm not really a fan of Simon Jordan overall, I disagree with a lot of his views on other topics. Although he's not really close to what has gone on at BRFC, it's worth listening to him here, playing devil's advocate and drawing his experience as a club owner (where he succeeded and then failed). It gives that neutral and measured insight in to how our esteemed CEO and COO might see, frame and spin things in the next few days Fwiw I don't agree with him, I think he's being a bit harsh on Eustace, I don't think he fully understands the extent to which a series of managers have been bare-face lied to and hung out to dry by the owners.

Great article from Elliot Jackson there. The comment section on the LT makes this forum look almost normal 😂 my hunch is that it's quite a lot of Dingles under fake usernames stirring so I don't read it anymore.

My overall reaction to this chaos is just one of unbelievable anger. Feel like throwing my phone out of the window. If this happens it's absolutely humiliating for us. Can anyone ever recall something like this happening in any division in English football? A manager leaving a team near the top of the league for a team at the bottom who have lost 8 out of 9 and look doomed? How on earth do the 'leadership' at the club think they could possibly explain this to fans with a straight face and assume we'll think "oh fair enough then"? Penny for their insane thoughts right now.

"Why aye, AI"

Sean Dyche would still fancy himself to manage in the Premier League and he will probably get another chance eventually. Not sure I could take the final humiliation of him absolutely bungling it here and the glee of Clampetts down the road

Am I right in thinking Rooney basically managed Plymouth for free? No one tell our owners he'll be given the job for life

It makes results like Tuesday, Cov at home, Hull at home, all so incredibly galling. We could have been out of sight by now. We've missed an open net in January and that's largely down to doing our transfer business as late and cheaply as possible. Galling

Bonkers that we're somehow being given another few days in the top 6 with these results (unless Bristol City win by 5 or 6 tomorrow). It's like the Make A Wish Foundation, letting us enjoy it before the inevitable

Steve Cooper to do a reverse Brian Clough, get Forest promoted and then Derby following a dodgy spell elsewhere? Wonder if he told Vardy to throw his medals in the bin...

I really don't think we're in the playoff picture, our form since New Year has been horrendous, we will be outside the playoffs when we next play in the league and if/when Albion beat us that will open a gap and that will be it...

Is that true? Do you have the stats? It wouldn't surprise me, I wonder if there's a team in the EFL with a worse record than that.

We'll probably be 9th by the time we next play, and then we'll be about 14th in May and neutrals won't even remember we were ever in the top 6

He scores when he wants, get him tied down, pay him whatever he wants 😂

I think it's to do with off-pitch issues. He genuinely just about escaped prison with a suspended sentence last summer. He hit someone on the head with a brick on Belgium and broke their skull. Lunatic.

Commentator on Sky "That pass was so awful I thought they were putting it out of play for an injury" Clearly his first rodeo

Re Dolan and Hedges, I do wonder where they will end up if they walk. I can't see them going to a promotion favourite, lower half of this league at best. They are very average.

We've responded well so far to going behind 🤞

Very open game this so far 🫣

Brainless free kick given away by Dolan and then poor defending from the corner... At least we have 85 mins...

I was so downbeat going into tonight's game I couldn't see us getting anything. For once in a derby match we rolled our sleeves up and applied ourselves. Whether or not it was a penalty at either end, we were the better team for three quarters of the game, they (Preston) certainly didn't deserve anything from the game. They can whinge about the decisions but it's not like one of our players bit an opponent. Karma.
