John Park head of recruitment
arbitro replied to chaddyrovers's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
I don't think there is anything formal. It was organised for charity by Rovers Community so not anything done officially by the club. https://www.rovers.co.uk/news/2024/november/06/eustace-describes-q-a-as-a-great-event-/ -
John Park head of recruitment
arbitro replied to chaddyrovers's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
The question is why did Park come back if he knew the awful state of the club from his first time here? At the recent Q&A Park, along with Owen were praised for their work by Eustace so from that perspective all seemed well. Nice work if you can get it though - two NDA's in a short space of time 😉 -

I was at the game and Butterworth was by far Swindon's best player playing the first half as a wing back and the second half as an attacking midfielder. It was a really good game to watch capped off by Butterworth doing a fair Messi impression. -
Tracking our (outbound) loan players 24/25
arbitro replied to BRFC4EVA's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
I went to this game and Honor was decent, made some good saves, kicked well and looked confident. The goal he conceded was scored by former Dingle George Boyd. In a physical match there was a red card for a Wythenshawe player, several red cards and a few mass confrontations. It was £7 well spent. -
Fans Forum / Roverstore
arbitro replied to Riverside under the drip's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Can one of the Forum panel please ask why supporters weren't allowed to watch the under 21's play Burnley at the Academy this afternoon. I'm sure it will be back heeled by Waggott but if he could be pushed for an answer I would be grateful. To many it might seen trivial but there are a number of fans who regularly attend these games and are being denied without a reason being given. Thanks in advance. -
It's another nonsensical decision to play this behind closed doors. It was only announced earlier this week after (I'm guessing) somebody at Ewood shat themselves at the thought of hordes of marauding Rovers and Dingles fans running riot at Brockhall. Aside from parents and grandparents the demographic of the usual attendee at games is 60+.

January Transfer window
arbitro replied to chaddyrovers's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
The issue there is that there is nothing coming through that would command a seven figure fee. The two youngsters who I think will make it to the top are Tyjon and Litherland but neither will get a platform to convince clubs to buy them. To be honest I just want us to be put out of our misery. There have been far too many crises under the Punekars for one not to tip the balance and for me this is the one. Bring it on and let's see what is left when they go. -
January Transfer window
arbitro replied to chaddyrovers's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
And similar to last January (when we sold Adam Wharton for a pittance) clubs will be aware of our predicament and exploit this. Waggott won't know whether to s*** or get off the pot. This has been 14 years in the making and I firmly believe that the tipping point is nigh. -
There was always lots of drinking at conferences and meetings and the odd punch up when I was on the list. I don't really know too many of the current Select Group 2 referees but I have heard stories of a few of them being sent home from training camps.

Coote and the guy beside him appear to be as high as kites looking at their eyes and slurring of speech. I have no doubt he is finished as a referee. The only issue for me is whether he does the honourable thing and resigns or strings it out with an appeal. Either way I believe he will have lost a job that I estimate will have paid him over £200k per annum. It also begs the question as to why referees are not drug tested like the players. I have heard rumours of a few of the celebrity referees who take illegal substances but are simply not tested.

The Accrington Stanley team coach leaving Chesterfield yesterday. -
I said at the time it was the pass of the season. It was perfection. The accuracy and weight of it shouldn't be understated neither should Pickering's movement particularly to stay onside. Moments like that are why football is so important to us.

Richie Smallwood went ages without a caution whilst he was on nine several years ago. Travis was excellent yesterday and he has forged a real partnership with Mr 7/10 Sonny Tronstad. Playing with Tronstad allows him to get forward more and has added another dimension to his game.

v Cardiff City (a) - 9/11/2024

The 'pitch encroachment officer' in pictures 2 and 6 was getting on my wick. Simply overkill. Games gone 😁
