I expect some more rotating about up top but the defence to remain the same. Luton 1 Rovers 1 -
Rovers offer new food options
tomphil replied to chaddyrovers's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
No but it makes it par for the course and not really something that can be blamed on Rovers in isolation. It's another football issue in general. -
Rovers offer new food options
tomphil replied to chaddyrovers's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Similar wherever you go with these outsourced catering franchise, cinema, big time boxing, music venues etc Shite but they get away with it although you'd think modest sized 'community' football clubs could offer something different. Having said that the stuff at Rovers is far from the worst you'll come across if you travel about a bit. -
So it's just a standard ST with games past knocked off then ?

v Watford (h) - 13/9/22 (possibly)…
tomphil replied to rigger's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Just a question of rotation that i think given the way JDT wants his front men to play there'll be a lot of rotating across the front this season. Edun is a handy utility man but he needs to be down the pecking order when everyone is fit. -

Glad Carter his proving his worth i maintained all along we should keep him and give him his chance he's like a new signing. A bit like Wharton when on loan he got rave reviews regularly and he seems similar in attitude just loves to roll his sleeves up. My kinds of players and it's often been missing to have an entire back line like that here in the last decade. -

Aye with many calling it a sideways step for a few more quid but thankfully he hasn't had a bad start here. -

These are the risks when you make money motivated sideways steps although i'm sure Coventry fans have said the same about Hyam. -
I suspect Mowbray had an inkling he was in line for this job should Neil find an opportunity to move on. It's all a bit of an amazing set of coincidences and perhaps he was touting himself for the job last time it was vacant. All sorts goes on in the background in football and nothing at all surprises me. Had he got the gig a bit early he'd have been raiding our ranks again i reckon. Who'd be surprised if Nyambe ends up there amongst others, he'll probably try and loan in Armstrong as well at some point.

Nothing against Sunderland he's their manager so the fans will back him for now but the tanker comment is quite apt. Big lumbering slow moving vessels (ideal for an old plodder as captain) that are prone to list and sink in stormy waters. If Rovers are run correctly we are a speedboat compared to that lot as has been proved in the past, Mowbray would rather shut off the engines and use oars instead.

Transfer Window - COMPLETE. Where’s Gregg?
tomphil replied to chaddyrovers's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
If Bournemouth were going to stump up 3 mill for Rothwell in January then a well placed Championship club or desperate Prem club could well try for BBD in Jan for double that. There is every chance we'd still get the fee back if they took the gamble and got rid. Absolutely no guarantee he'd want to hump ship just anywhere though for the sake of it. -
His attitude stunk the last few seasons he;d have been on his bike had there not been a year with no fans. He'd have flipped at the least bit of stick during the possession nonsense some of his comments then were pathetic to be honest. I'm glad some are finally coming to terms with his true colours - just another self serving football gravy train rider. I actually think he might do well at Sunderland if he gets a bit of backing. I reckon though he's just got another pension pot gig there by the sounds of it. Just eeking it out till he's 60 as was the plan here. Mark Venus must be the luckiest man in football hanging onto his shirt tails.

R.I.P. QUEEN ELIZABETH
tomphil replied to SIMON GARNERS 194's topic in I Can't Believe It's Not Football
Sinclair knew exactly what he was doing Not long before that he was praising the Queen but he spotted his clickbait opportunity and took it but being another pig thick ex footballer he didn't think it through. The guy has been arrested for a racial slur in the past so we know race baiting is his thing and only Talkshite employ fools like that. Anyway God Save the King, sod Trevor Sinclair. -
v Wigan Athletic (a) 11/10/2022
tomphil replied to Upside Down's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
The decision rested with the EPL and EFL so it was entirely predictable they'd fancy a day off. I'm one percent on board with things being cancelled on the day of the funeral as a mark or respect but this i feel is just counter productive. -

Predictable, yes understandable in a way but it does nothing but add to peoples sadness really. That's not what the Queen was all about. -
Jon Dahl Tomasson - Officially No Longer Our Head Coach
tomphil replied to Tom's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Well the owners have spent over 200 million on their baby so we perhaps should be in better shape than we are now. Non of that is JDT or Broughtons fault though so we are their project now. -

Well at least hes acknowledged he never improved here since he broke into the first team. -

The show must go on it's 2022 not 1950 And i say that as a man of Queen and country but the very best way for people to pay their respects is at their choice of events at weekend. -

A lot travel in but a hell of a lot live in the immediate area that much is obvious on a matchday. -
It must be all that's is needed at this present time that's 9 million this year already, plus it's VLL so it might be for something else. Does Akon need more brass ?
