Valérien Ismaël: Blackburn Rovers Head Coach
arbitro replied to DE.'s topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Interesting question Wilsden. If Glen paid his £35 could they stop him. -

It's quite simple for me after having seen Wednesday play several times this season. Stop Bannon and a huge part of any threat they offer is nullified. -

Personally I think it's aimed more for corporates and sponsors given the price and I think the club will fear ordinary fans asking difficult questions. The recent Souness and Mowbray evening was £50 and I don't know anybody who went. The fairest way would be a ballot amongst season ticket holders but fairness seems to have been removed from the Ewood vocabulary. -

Rovers are advertising An Evening with Valerian Ismael in the Premier Suite on January 8th. I went to one of the with John Eustace and enjoyed it. The Community Trust arranged this and proceeds went to a cancer charity. The charge,from memory was nominal. This one is £35 for adults and £20 for under 18's with no mention of the Trust or charity. Poor again from Rovers and likely to be another embarrassment. -
At this time of year Rovers invite friends and family of any supporter who has passed away in that year to remember them with their picture on the big screen. We used it last year after my brother had passed and it really is a worthwhile exercise. We really felt it was a fitting tribute after a lifetime of supporting Rovers. I would recommend anyone who has lost someone to take it up. The details are:

There are a group right now who are being fast tracked. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/cx2nd9zewx5o When I got on the referees list in 1995 an ex professional called Steve Baines also got on. He only did a few seasons due to his age but I know he automatically earned respect from players because of this. There have been/are several since Steve who have played at National Conference level. However there will never be any household names taking up refereeing because, quite simply it doesn't pay enough.

I don't know if you should have out an emoji after that but it's about the denial of the opportunity, not the players ability. -

I give up, you being objective on a manager you have never liked and have been really critical of. Do me a favour. I don't agree with the majority of your posts so I'll take your advice and put you on ignore. -

I'd like to think that the majority are fair minded and balanced in their observations. 😉 -
He has been named in the 55 man squad. This will be whittled down to 28 in the next few days.

Rovers FA Youth Cup match against Southampton has been confirmed for Friday 12th December. It's free for season ticket holders. From the matches I have seen the under 18's are really good to watch.

Thanks for clarifying - no need to apologise as I actually misinterpreted your words. -

If the boot was on the other foot I would accept the red card without question. Pretty much every decision can be subjective but in the balance of probability the incident ticked every box in my opinion.
