v Plymouth Argyle (a) - 5/10/2024
tomphil replied to Herbie6590's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Only just got back, hell of a journey but i'd recommend Plymouth as an away day and stop over it's a good place if you can stomach the trek and usual predictable schoolboy defending. Game of two halves we deserved nowt in the first half and for all Eustace bemoans the cruel ending we should have been 2 or 3 down by half time, not good enough. Second half fully deserved a point but i'm fuming with the goal how many fucking times did they swing the ball out there and let it be headed into the danger area ? You could absolutely see that coming it wasn't even as if we were clearing the lines well as several times the ball went into the danger area but no one got a touch until eventually one guy got into the right place. It was like watching them practise something on a training ground why the hell didn't the so called leader in Rovers defence send someone across to push the guy wider ! Such naive crap again there's very little excuse for it. As for Rooney not only does he look like a fat headed bell end he really is one. -

It'll be interesting to see if the pre match warm ups change now after doing the exact same drills for about the last decade. Nothing against Lowe he seems a bit of a poor mans Tony Parkes figure just does as he's told and gets on with it and I've heard he's liked by players in general. Every club needs a few of those steady guys in the background but it's odd how he always survives and it's probably time for a freshen up on the first team coaching side. -
Blunderland from the keeper there demonstrating yet again how poor the basics are on a lot of Championship keepers these days. Still i suppose he's comfortable playing it out from the back.

We are due a bloody win down there i can't recall one since the Speedie hatrick ! Seems the team travelled down yesterday so the prep should be ok for this one. -
It always comes back to the same issue, Waggot gets his 300k whatever inconvenience or angst the fans have or however many stay away. Cut costs more in certain areas of the club and he probably gets another bonus it's easier earning that way at a club like Rovers than trying to get a bonus expanding it. A real CEO at a club that has brought in 40 million and is owned by billionaires would be standing up for the people it employs and saying we have a duty to provide as many jobs to locals as we can. A few quid here and there saving ink and paper makes fook all difference in the grand scheme of things. A corporate money driven outsider would run the club exactly as he does.

John Eustace - our head coach

Take no notice the drum was being beaten for TM to have a new 5 year contract when he'd had a purple patch. -

Less stubborn or set in his ways i think is the best description but he'll probably end up just shrugging his shoulders in that 'what do you expect' way like the rest of them once another Jan window passes with no action. -

Judging from many of those games it's like players can't be arsed after busting a gut a few days earlier. The demands of this league take their toll on smaller squads pretty quickly as well and that is where canny management comes in. Something we've been very short of in the last nearly 14 years, i'd also wager a lot of clubs deem preparation to be of the utmost importance to get the best results and travel down the day before. Doubt we do to anywhere less than 200 miles away under this lot ! -

Someone on twitter listed the midweek games and points won under the last few managers and it made horrendous reading especially given the length of time Mowbray was here. So many games we just don't turn up from the off midweek away from home which led to the poster asking the questing is there something wrong with the upstairs administration that leads to poor preparation ? Is it penny pinching, do they turn up too late, spend too much time on the famous bus, not get correct nutrition or rehydration beforehand due to penny pinching. Are they always pissed off or not in the right mind because they have to wash their own kits and bring a packed lunch or something ! Or are they always out on the piss on Mon/Tues nights ? There is something wrong at this club to have so many regular no shows in midweek aways. -

Until we finally learn to turn up to these types of games prepared to match the physicality then we'll keep losing them. It's what undoes us time and again in this league no team that has a soft underbelly is successful. -

First off we've been over achieving so the wheels were always going to fall off at some point. Hopefully temporarily but i'm not so sure and the international break might come at a good time for us. There was always a no show in us like that there always will be unless they spend some money on a bit more quality. Don't know what it is will rovers but regardless of manager they always save a few stinkers for midweek away games particularly in the midlands. Gaffer got it wrong tonight iv'e said previously they way we play they should be starting the big lad up top in tough away games. Eustace would be better approaching some of these the way he did last season, despite the potential negativity it might bring from critics. He's trying things with Dolan that didn't work with Mowbray years ago and in typical Tyrese fashion he plays himself into and then out of the starting line up. Yet again the push for Cantwell to start on the back of barely 1 decent half proved over the top, predictably. Some never learn but at least the pears haters got their bit when the game was already gone. Bad night, it happens, need to freshen up Saturday with several starters tonight on the bench at Plymouth. -
It's what they call being run by 'Progressives' Which means progression to money saving and profits for faceless business types and progression to the job centre for ordinary types.

No pay on the night again even though there'll be a thousand seats empty in the away end and probably thousands in the home sections. Absolute farce it is. -
The posh lounges will still have prawns it'll be the ones behind the goals who are treated to lab grown hotdogs and cockroach fries ๐คฃ Mind you after 5 pints of warm weak lager the sheeple won't bother.

Think Eubank has been holding that in a while it's often been said he has never pressed his career on the way he should but maybe not all his fault. Gangster Frank has a long back catalogue of ending up in legal battles with his own fighters after hes shafted them. Nice that Chris jnr didn't leave Hearn and co out as well though.

The climate cult are a law unto themselves and most of these things will be govt driven orders initiatives. Easy targets for nudge units are supermarkets, fuel stations and football clubs dealing with millions of customers daily. -
Sweeping leaves and still being paid by Rovers probably.

Whilst cash is still THE legal tender you should be able to use it and whilst paper tickets and ticket sales/collection points are still in service you should have that choice to use them. There should be no debate. -
Only just over 13k home fans last time for a normal kick off will be reduced quite a bit tomorrow i expect ๐คจ

The at the ground collections can be a pain in the arse also. Millwall away few seasons ago we strolled up to their ticket office and bought two for the away section no bother. 5 lads in front of us however had already ordered and paid from Rovers but their tickets where coming down on the first official supporters coach. Goes without saying it had been delayed in traffic so these lot couldn't go in until they arrived and had to hang around outside. -

It's part of the classic corporate takeover that is set to engulf everything all being shaped to suit money makers and totalitarian intended govts. No conspiracy it's an absolute fact and the only way to keep thing normal and to keep peoples freedom of choices is to stand up to it, speak out against it and say NO. Not just shrug shoulders, moan and follow on like lemmings but that's the generation we now live in and they'll slowly take away everything that's fun or tradition whilst telling you it's better for you and the planet. I still have train ticket stubs from an away game at Oldham in the early 80's my first ever away game as a kid and the ticket stub from the FMC at Wembley. What will kids save now ? A digi ticket in a file on a phone that will be busted knackered or lost in a few years. If you want to keep tradition then fight for it. -
