Take Hunt Off

You just love mentioning Wiggin . Why do you refer to ‘Bolton ‘ & not ‘we ? Also ‘ they ‘ & not ‘we’ ? Apart from that good points , red Rog , who do you suggest as manager ?

Sanctimonious cunt.

Well done Plymouth hope they stay up at the expense of the non-rival dingles.

It’s not just about geography is it ? Blackburn are historical rivals . 33k on Burnden in around 1972 when our average gate was around 11k . That was a top of league three clash, not to mention 27k on Ewood when we sealed promotion to League One. As a Horwichite I knew at least a handful of local Dingles. Not rivals my arse!

Guess that depends on your age , I’m also from Horwich & Blackburn have been & still are a very big rival. In the late sixties they were our main opposition in terms of off-field entertainment. Mainly because both our main rivals were playing at a higher level ie Burnley & The rags. PNE was always a good day out as well but not quite the edge that a visit to Ewood had. Blackpool was always moody to say the least & I’m talking before the lad got killed. As for City , wrong side of town for me to feel that stressed although beating them was always ace. Think Wiggin have filled a bit of a void but if we play Blackburn anytime in the near future I think they will take back the mantle of our main rival.

Will renew tomorrow in NSL .Watched all the cup games in WSL & it’s a better view .I would probably move there , but my grandson isn’t keen for obvious reasons (far too sedate & quiet) so until he joins the yoof in ESL I’m in NSL where some old nutters go to behave badly unfortunately.

Great performance today , totally unexpected & aided by a team that wanted to play & take us on. Respect the opposition for that. No shithousing hope they stay up could have been a 7-4 scoreline or worse maybe . Just a timely reminder that football is about entertainment, & unless we forget about our football club surviving at any level. Blown far too much smoke up Readings arse , so fckg smashing from all our eleven on a hiding to nothing , we can still do this folks COYWM

There was another team on the pitch , a horrible team to play against on a postage stamp of a pitch .Only Oxford in the top eight have beaten them on their own ground. It’s actually not over yet & I agree we need a massive upturn in form but Christ what we need is for our supporters to get right behind these lads & stop whinging .

If they reduced away allocation, they could accommodate safe standing in the South stand or half of it .Nobody inconvenienced & would improve the atmosphere plus negating the gobby away fans , who could be seated upstairs.

Been on that terrace , absolutely massive but sparsely populated that day 1-1 draw FA cup tie early seventies .Stuart Lee for us I think diving header , Arthur Horsfield for them he seemed to score all of their goals. Replay we won 4-0.

Derby shithoused a win with depleted personnel, goalie was their star man. Warne changed his system at HT to thwart our flow & Wilson proved very effective down our left , said it before but Iredale being naturally left footed is a better option than Toal who stutters with the ball on his left peg .Not saying Toal shouldn’t be picked , he’s a good defender but for me on his correct rhs. The bog standard subs at seventy minutes have been tedious for some time , & seldom improve us especially when chasing games,the exception being Barnsley although the first change ( bringing Iredale on ) was injury forced. I thought we were easily the better team yesterday but we failed mainly with final pass / shot.

No chance of that , head buzzing with either fear & trepidation on losing or buzzing with replays going through your head when winning. Need a strong nightcap or several before hitting the sack . Unless of course some horizontal jogging is on the menu.

Good points , I have a few neighbours with ST ‘s who only do the early season night matches .Sometimes they piss me off because it seems they take the easy option but ultimately they buy in so who am I to castigate them ? In any case , it’s more less a function of getting older . I used to prefer night matches when I was younger , there seemed to be a better atmosphere than Saturday matches , now less so . I don’t think the absentees in the main affect the atmosphere much , last night it was good , a little flat later when we were five up & a lot of ‘older’ folk thinking about getting off the car park !

I know this one . Classic backwater club . Three cheers for the #### or back then #######

For me the game changed when Cogley went off , Jones moved over & Iredale slotted in on the left. We upped the pace , won second balls & there was plenty of space suddenly available particularly on the right where Collins really got into the game supported well by Jones. Maghoma coming on helped the flow & it would have been a travesty had we not got anything from the game. GT did fuck up for their first , plus he was on a yellow but what a performance from him that second half given the baggage he was carrying.True grit that lad plenty to learn but probably our most improved player , even though refs seemed to have his card marked. His foul was tame compared to the late one on Sheehan were the referee gave a bounce-up!

True

Spot on , some on here think you actually were forced onto the defensive !

The thing is we got done tactically by an inferior side .They let us have the ball had two lines of four .They would probably have changed formation if we had managed to score , they knew our weak point when they put an attack together having brought on the clever but rotund Humphries & the loanee from Fulham (who had some attacking flair ) in the second half. Their manager probably calculated we would huff & puff with our pedestrian possession football but also they might get a chance or two on the turnover. Even better at 1-0 up they could continue to defend knowing we would not change our style of play despite making substitutions.

Cameron & Bod get brought on but do we get any crosses in (exception Ogbeta) no we pass the ball incessantly between Toal & Santos even with only minutes to go. Every other team in the league would go direct with ten minutes to go at one nil down its not rocket science, get crosses in , win second balls & fucking shoot now & again. Inexcusable that we failed to lay a glove on them after they scored. Our right side of Jones & Cogley was toothless in attack & well at fault for the goal very similar to Saturday when Bod found himself at right back & the opposition played a simple ball inside him.

Dempsey & Iredale show they have battling qualities , surely those assets are what we need tonight? Also Toal as left centre back is awkward to say the least Looks like we are going all out attack , very brave of Evatt , hope it works. COYW.

There was at least some doubt? But a red card ? Watching it live it was not a heart in the mouth moment for me , just thought he had done well to get the ball out for a corner. Gobsmacked with the red card , the ref was an utter cunt the whole ninety minutes , his total bias was beyond belief.

Daft as it may sound as soon as Undies showed the legs I knew it was Stanley Bowles & QPR but alas too late as I scrolled down !

Pretty sure it’s Hull back in the day , from the photo reckon Leeds causing a bit of aggravation.

Quality 😂

Macauley Bone I think , cynical bastard on a young lad too Hope he gets kicked in the nads very soon. Referee must have seen it , bloody incompetent.
