@dowse_11 @Rovers We do, mate. And the ones who deserve our support are the ones who other teams will want to buy. We'll just be left with the data driven, Fantasy Football Manager, You Tube clip compilation, spreadsheet satisfying dross that no self-respecting club would touch with a bargepole

@cgreen1995 @brfcsdotcom @Rovers And you'd get no argument from me, Chris. We've one who's scared of the ball, one who can't pass to a team mate in blue and white, one who through no fault of his own never touches the ball, one who can't keep his goal kicks on a pitch that's 75 yards wide... I could go on!!

@puncturedbicycl @brfcsdotcom @Rovers The current team will struggle in league 1 Simon . Carter and Forshaw are the only ones I would have allowed back on the team coach. The rest could walk and hopefully get lost . I would argue that some of the squad are not at the required level to be professionals.

@fredcumpstey @Rovers 😂 I did, Fred. 8 miles on the trails with deer yesterday and a 5k round the hotel before breakfast this morning, so it's not been an altogether wasted trip!

@Rovers Excellent, should have happened sooner. Now get rid of those who appointed him thinking he was the best man for the job, too.

📰 Valérien Ismaël has today left his position as Blackburn Rovers’ Head Coach by mutual consent. Ismaël joined the club in February 2025, however it has been mutually agreed that he will step away from his role with immediate effect, along with Assistant Head Coach Dean Whitehead. Blackburn Rovers would like to thank Valérien and Dean for their efforts during their time at the club and wish them both the very best for the future. The club will now begin the process of appointing a new Head Coach and will make no further comment until an appointment is confirmed. #Rovers 🔵⚪️

@Rovers Yes, please come. Come to a game where, for this season, you are statistically more likely to see an abandonment than a home win

@foodtechteacher Don't wind me up. Has the game gone soft in Preston? In Accrington? In Wigan? Accy and Wigan managed 120 minutes plus penalties on their pitches. Their owners care.

@foodtechteacher How many games did we have called off in Jack's tenure? One? We've had two this season and is it three in a year? We can't control the weather, but we can control its effects. I welcome every castigation, fine and points deduction we get until those ***** get out of our club

Not much you can do about persistent rain. Forecast is grim for Tuesday as well. Just call it off now! Can’t blame the pitch. We had a game called off under jack walkers brand new pitch in 93. It happens.

@basilrok And to think, we used to win awards for having the best pitch in the league

@puncturedbicycl It’s more than coincidence that this is the only period of time I can remember in over fifty years of attending matches that we’ve had two games abandoned within weeks of each other…

River 1 Sheff Wednesday 0. Match abandoned. No option, really, however disappointing it is. The pitch was becoming unplayable… but they played 120 minutes at Accrington, so is it an issue with the drainage, our proximity to a river, or what? #Rovers

@blackburnendpod We need him back. It doesn't matter whether the conspiracy theories are true or not, the fact they are so believable is a sad indictment on the pond life we have running our club

@brfcsdotcom Best player on the pitch by a mile today. Dominant in both boxes but obviously doesn’t fit in with our data driven doesn’t have a sell on value approach 🤬

Morris is such a Eustace signing. The exact opposite of Rudy’s data driven approach.

@Rovers Can you not do anything right? Is this how you deal with constructive criticism? Jeez. It's not the Lancashire Telegraph's job to be your mouthpiece and propaganda merchant. You had one of those once. It was called the matchday programme but you chose to get rid of it. Remember?

Agreed chaps. They've taken the club's heart and soul. Pretty soon, all that's going to be left is a carcass
