Rovers kits 24/25 season
gumboots replied to chaddyrovers's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Doesn't matter. I'm female and don't like pink on girls or boys or anyone else. It's OK for going out, and would be OK if it were a good strong pink but it's wishy washy, but it's not for football shirts as far as I'm concerned. -
Rovers kits 24/25 season
gumboots replied to chaddyrovers's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
It's not a football shirt. What is it with pink suddenly. It's everywhere - rugby, football. I've never been a pink person and nothing will persuade me people should play football or rugby in pink -

I reached my tipping point many years ago and can only admire those who've stuck with it this long. I was a regular poster on here and tried to be fair to managers and players, even the ones I disliked intensely. However, when the first wave of protests, which I attended and took part in, had no effect. I marched with Blackpool fans. I've been back odd times since but largely I'd rather not be there. I couldn't go and support another EFL club, so get my football kicks watching Clitheroe. Otherwise, we simply switched sports and began watching Sale Sharks. I'd not support another league club and would love a reason to come back to Rovers on a more regular basis but this week's fiasco has confirmed even more for me that I personally was right to more or less walk away, for my own peace of mind.- 9495 replies

I, as you know, go to Sale Sharks matches. I was there yesterday when they qualified for the Premiership final. Two of the owners, Simon and Michelle, walked in with the players from the team coach, and at the end of the match Simon, as he usually does, went round the pitch, shaking hands with fans, thanking them for their support. The team is growing; crowds are increasing. Because of the disappearance of Worcester and Wasps, meaning we didn't get full value for our season tickets, we didn't pay for yesterday's match. This is the kind of ownership Rovers need. Someone who gets it and cares as much as any fan.

Agreed. Sunderland were nothing special but we don't seem to be able to put games away when we have pressure. -

This was the first time I've watched Rovers live in a year and nothing has really changed. We lack intent, penetration, power, pace. Always looking for sideways passes. Never looking to move the ball forward first time. I had a lovely Christmas spoilt by 2 bookending sporting performances, as Sale Sharks lost at Newcastle too. -
I've just watched Lorient v Clermont Ferrand in Ligue 1. Tickets cost €8 each. Lorient's last match a fortnight ago was cancelled because a combination of the Interceltique festival and the continuing drought here in Brittany made it unplayable so a new pitch was laid and it was a good surface. That's how to do your job, Mr Waggott. Affordable tickets for a poor town.

The job you need usually finds you. For JDT I think this is the job he needs now. Get us over the finishing line and into the PL despite ours still being a poorly run club and he'll be able to take his pick of good jobs -
All is well thanks. Just needed time away from here as I got more and more disillusioned with results and performances

I'm paying £224 for my Sale Sharks season ticket plus £50 for my Clitheroe season ticket. That's £274 for far more games than a Rovers season ticket would give me. Is it any wonder lots of people are getting more choosy about how they spend their cash and only attending matches at Ewood as and when they choose?

As you correctly stated earlier Blackburn is a town, not a city -
I thought it was great to hear Bairstow refusing to be drawn into the Root Era was a disaster/ Stokes Era is wonderful rhetoric that the commentators were trying to push. Root had it very hard as captain with all the Covid bubbles and so on and Bairstow rightly acknowledged this

Attendances: A cause for concern
gumboots replied to SIMON GARNERS 194's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
I have threatened to lose it conveniently when I go to visit. However, he'll soon grow out of it, and he's a very bright lad so his own common sense will kick in soon. I'll buy him a Rovers one in a bigger size for his birthday -

I wouldn't buy a multi match ticket. Too much else going on . But a cheap match ticket for a specific match would be tempting. My daughter would probably bring our grandson too which would be great because he's been spotted wearing a Burnley shirt and that can't be right -

I always think of them in the old 4th division. That's where they were when I was a kid and used to listen to the results on tv -
v Hull City (a) - 19/1/22
gumboots replied to Aqualung's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Also results are about confidence and poor refereeing sucks confidence out of you. Players start to try too hard or misplace easy passes. They lose just a tiny bit of effectiveness, willingness to go into tackles etc if they feel nothing will go their way. The opposition acquire confidence with every dodgy decision they get. Hull must have felt last night they could have sneaked an extra player on and the ref wouldn't have noticed and they played like they had that extra player. None of that excuses the fact that we were poor last night but it compounds it. When you feel you genuinely are playing 12 men, or even 14 since the assistants weren't actually assisting the ref in doing his job properly, it's hard to lift your game -

Well, there is but that's only because I loathe City as a club even more than Spurs. -

We could bring in a small one then but I doubt he'd be any use -

On phone or tablet press on the e and hold it till the options come up and slide to the one you want é. On PC you usually have to have number lock on, hold down alt key and type 130 I think it is. The other accents are there too I think è is alt 138 but it's a long time since, as a French teacher, I used them regularly and I don't remember the numbers as well as I used to. -

Do you think I should avoid going to Ewood. Last time I went we got knocked out of the league Cup. Today we looked somewhat aimless, we got an appalling ref who helped neither side and seemed clueless, failed to capitalise on early pressure and ended up getting a 0-0. Im clearly a jinx
