  1. This kind of implies that if we concede in the 84th minute then it would be OK ? A goal is a goal, whether conceded in the 1st or 90th. It just feels different psychologically so close to the end of a game. A defensive lapse, a piece of brilliance, a bit of luck....can happen at any point in the 90 minutes.?‍♂️
  2. Any foreign fans able to watch this on iFollow ? ?
  3. There needs to be a counterpoint to have a debate ? I know my place as a cynical old git ? More seriously, I did say that if we brought pace in & cover for DG we would finish higher....so fingers crossed. A good start is vital I feel...??
  4. A new season, a new series of podcasts, new theme music, a new panelist...you can't say we're not trying ? A cast of thousands on this episode all wanting to have their say & predict the Rovers likely finishing position upon our return to the Championship. Listen right to the end as the last 2 guests have their own section. Your host Ian Herbert tries to keep order as Josh Boswell, Kamy, Mike Delap, Michael Taylor (the Marple Leaf), Linz Lewis, Jen Bellamy (new signing) & guests Scott Sumner & Tom Schofield are fuelled with pre-season bonhomie. Massive thanks to Joe Bamford (Biz) & his band "The Symmetry" for providing us with our own theme music for this season. We'll hopefully hear more from Joe & the band as the season progresses... Listen out for some acronym related high jinks as one panelist mixes up the EDS at Man City with the EDL...both have some right-wingers...but...well you know... Hope you enjoy & if anyone fancies contributing a first or favourite Rovers memory, or a Revisionist Rovers item for a future episode, that would be great. Episode here :- http://brfcs-podcast.brfcs.com/?name=2018-08-02_brfcs_episode_97.mp3 ...and in iTunes feeds as well...please make sure you subscribe & please leave us a review...it really does help us. https://itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/brfcs-blackburn-rovers-fan-community-podcast-from-brfcs/id1282664472?mt=2#episodeGuid=http%3A%2F%2Fbrfcs-podcast.brfcs.com%2F%3Fname%3D2018-08-02_brfcs_episode_97.mp3 http://brfcs-podcast.brfcs.com/feed.xml Feedback & ideas welcomed & many thanks to those who have offered (& submitted) contributions already.

  7. Championship preview on Loft For Words (QPR) site with a contribution from some berk predicting a 19th place finish for Rovers... https://www.fansnetwork.co.uk/football/queensparkrangers/news/48326
  8. ITunes links to our podcast archive here :- https://itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/brfcs-blackburn-rovers-fan-community-podcast-from-brfcs/id1282664472?mt=2 Howard Kendall ones in July/August 2017. Also here for non-ITunes users... http://brfcs-podcast.brfcs.com/?p=archive&cat=all
  9. If you came for the Furphy...stay for the Kendall...same author @meadows, same narrator (sorry about that)...they got a lot of love last year, always nice when people discover them & give positive feedback...thank you ??
  10. Just to say thanks to everyone who has replied & those who fancy writing & recording a contribution...just let me know if you need any help re scriptwriting &/or recording... My original plan was to have 1 memory per podcast but if everyone who has said they’ll do one actually does, we might have 2or 3 per episode or even a dedicated podcast specifically. Fingers crossed...??
  11. Or here http://brfcs-podcast.brfcs.com/?name=2017-07-29_howard_kendall_part_one.mp3

  13. All you need is a laptop/smartphone/tablet; a Skype account & some spare time....I’ll gladly provide hints & tips ?
  14. @AdamRochina @roversfan99 ....got an overwhelming urge to buy something from Ikea for some strange reason...perhaps a nippy winger Hårrŷ Chäpmãn perhaps ? ?
  15. *BUMPED* Please see end of thread for latest update... I’ve had some interest expressed in having a regular recurring item in podcasts of fans talking about their first Rovers memory....when, where, who, what happened, how did you feel etc. (I’d also consider Fave Rovers memory...especially if it avoided the obvious 1995...! ) I’ve got one in the can already and I’d love to have some more...anybody fancy contributing ? Help writing &/or recording it is available as required.... Anyone ? ?
  16. From what I saw, we did start 3-5-2...whether by accident or design. Rich Sharpe Tweeted that we were 4 at the back but the evidence of my eyes on the field was 3 CBs with Bell left WB & Bennett right WB
  17. As part of a new podcast series - "Revisionist Rovers" - we look at different characters, eras and events from Blackburn Rovers history and bring fresh perspective. In this, the first episode, we take a look back at the impact and legacy of Ken Furphy upon Blackburn Rovers, through the pen of Jim Wilkinson. It should drop in iTunes feeds soon - but can also be accessed here :- http://brfcs-podcast.brfcs.com/?name=2018-07-21_revisionist_rovers_-_furphys_ewood_odyssey.mp3 Original article here :- https://blueyedboy.wordpress.com/2015/01/24/furphys-ewood-odyssey-parts-1-4/

  19. Have you seen this year’s Man Utd kit ? ?
  20. It’s virtually the same one that he launched for Nike FFS !!! ?
  21. This in black & red for Rovers ? Barca lite ?
  22. It’s dreadful isn’t it ? A throwback to the Ribero “Bayern Munich away win” paint splash kit but that sponsor ?
  23. On Twitter, a Birmingham fan is saying he cost them >£40k pw last season in wages & loan fees...?
  24. I’m currently planning podcasts for 2018/19 season & I have been inspired by another podcast that I listen to, namely Malcolm Gladwell’s “Revisionist History”. In it, Gladwell takes a conventional idea or thought & looks at it more closely, from a different angle, usually challenging received wisdom. I am therefore toying with the idea of a “Revisionist Rovers” item for future podcasts.... if anyone out there has an idea & would like to get involved - in other words is prepared to construct a case for what might be a left-field, unconventional or potentially even downright unpopular view & is prepared to come on the pod (in some format to be agreed) to present it, please get in touch. I am NOT looking for deliberately contrarian, shock-jock positions e.g. “Alan Shearer was grossly overrated” will probably not pass muster, unless you are REALLY good at advocacy...? The sort of thing I’m looking for would be, for instance (NB I don’t necessarily subscribe to any of these views for clarity...they are just to give you a flavour...?): Zinedine Zidane would not have improved Rovers midfield had he signed in the 90’s David Dunn should never have re-signed from Birmingham as he never fulfilled his potential Sam Allardyce’s football was so ugly, Venky’s were correct to sack him Signing Danny Murphy made sense at the time, knowing what we knew then ...hopefully you get the idea...! Is there something in Rovers’ history that has always bugged you because you see it differently from most of your mates ? Do you carry an unpopular opinion around & have always wanted to unburden ? This might be your chance ? The mechanics & logistics of how we will do it will be worked through once I know if we have enough contributors & good ideas to make it worthwhile. It could be an interview, it could be a first person piece, it could be a written article narrated by someone else if you don’t fancy sharing your dulcet tones....that can be worked through. If you have an idea, please contact me by PM’ing me on here, or on Twitter using the @brfcs.com handle please....let’s see if we can create audio gold ?
