Some brilliant signs getting some screen time re venkys and pasha. Lovely.

It is. But there's hardly anyone there. Anybody doing this will be a sitting duck labelled as an individual trouble maker. It won't make any difference. The players, the coaches, the owners. They are all a total embarrassment. And there's no way of it improving through anything the fans do.

No, never been convinced it is worth it. My comment was to say that I disagree with the request being made in there. Not that I have any right to influence it, as a non-member. Just that I don't personally think it is helpful. Anyway, probably the wrong thread.

I appreciate the sentiment and the collegiate approach. But "meet with us, talk with us, listen to us, and work with us," doesn't reflect what I want from our owners. If they did the above, which Venkys could suggest they have done on (rare) occasion through the years, I don't believe anything would change. Nothing. It is well beyond that being the required clear message. It comes across as a weak statement, at least in regards to Rovers and Venkys.

Because he is a dreadful defender. He has been at fault for several goals this season, a season in which he has rarely played.

Travis has been OK. Otherwise, every one of the midfield and attack have been absolutely fucking abysmal. Play the youth team players. We know all about players like Hedges and Dolan. Their time is very much over. What a farce of a football club.

Out of possession we look like (rubbish) boys against men. In possession just like a group of strangers. It's horrific.

I hear our fraud of a manager/coach/chief-hands-in-pockets-officer has been bleating on again about the team's energy and intensity and how that will set the tone of the atmosphere in the stadium. It would take an enormous shift from the team selections, tactics, energy levels and mentality set out in previous matches to do any such thing. He is such a bullshitter, this bloke.

Sorry, I have missed this new one. Please could someone link me to it?

Boom - yet another piece of "significant investment". We, the great unwashed, are so very fortunate. Glad he has signed, I think he is a decent player. We need much more than this just to 'stay still'. And staying still will actually mean continuing to drop down the league, of course.

I'm out for a good while, too. I know its not as much as several others will have travelled but I'll have driven six hours and walked another to get there today. The team barely bothered turning up and the absolutely fucking appalling manager we've got couldn't be bothered to clap the supporters. I'm the fool. I won't be putting myself out for this for the foreseeable future. If a big protest against Venkys were to take place in Blackburn, I'll get there. But nothing more. Today was a harsh blow to my remaining loyalty to a club that doesn't really exist anymore. And it was emphasised by the clearly totally different environment, mood and spirit of Portsmouth FC, despite their own years of struggles. Our club, as of 2025, can't match up to anything like it. That was very sad to feel and that's on Venkys. I don't want to have any part of their business empire, anymore. I'm out. Now to drive home, still displaying my shirt. I'm proud of what it used to represent, nothing of today.

The goal all started from Woodrow failing to close down the left back quickly enough. He is offering nothing at all

Made it to Portsmouth. Arrived and saw yet another baffling lineup. Why do I bother?! Let's hope I'm proved very wrong...

The bit that did annoy me in that statement was about the "two way engagement" with fan groups. As an outsider, this looks like a complete backfiring strategy, once again, of some 'fan representatives' holding conversations with Waggott/Suhail. If you keep doing this, you will be used, with your "engagement" held up in propaganda as wonderful positive work by our exec team. Those conversations are clearly doing more harm than good. Overall, the statement avoids the main (Venkys) issue and is exactly the bland and dismissive response that was always inevitable. Which, I guess, moves us to the next actions that everyone involved in the media push today will have prepared for. How do we move forward with this, and how can we all support that?

It's going to be a vomit-inducing "we are all in it together, with you", perhaps with a bit of defensive talk about how Venky's keep us afloat, a sprinkle of "worked with fans groups to put forward a generous season ticket offer" and a dash of "will someone think of the players, they need us all working together to support them, not causing distractions in the media", bullshit.
