another north west club (exactly like Rovers) where the local businessman (Whelan like Jack Walker) who loved the club pulled out after several years of good success to be run like a business by investors and it goes belly up. I wonder why that doesn't send a message to some Burnley fans who want u...

I quite agree Gordale,unfortunately a majority those on low incomes who can't afford Sky will find their way to the pubs to watch it and spend a considerable amount of money drinking copious amounts of alcohol whilst watching the matches for free. A double edged sword perhaps You make my point for ...

So pointing something out to someone makes someone a "right wing racist".....wow. As for hindsight, maybe foresight needs applying before joining/supporting a specific cause. In respect of sport, whether it was the intention or not, it's the reality, pointed out by many, but it only seems to be res...

What if I want to watch football on Sky but think a player earning £385K pw is utterly ridiculous and, somehow, just shouldn't be permitted ......are the two things incompatible then ? They wouldn't be earning that sort of money if it wasn't for yours and others subscriptions to SKY and the like. I...

May I respectfully suggest that you read my posts properly. To clarify, I think it is right that every single person of every race, ethnicity, gender, sexuality etc etc etc be treated as an equal. I don't think it's right for people to protest, especially those like yourself, seemingly unaware of w...

Just a thought. (No names, no pack drill.) Strange how so many right wing capitalists on these boards complain about players being paid huge sums of money, funded by capitalist companies at the expense of the man in the street. If you don't like it, then don't support the media companies that cause ...

Clubs would still live on the edge. Just at a lower turnover.
As with any profession the elite rake it in.

Of course they would, but players wouldn't be being paid obscene sums every week and conyoviejo who started the thread would be happier. As would I.

Obscene and all that's wrong with football. Just my opinion,some will disagree.

Simple answer. Stop paying to watch sport on TV. Without companies like SKY, BT, Amazon Prime funding games, wages would soon fall and we might get back to 'Free to air' sport on channels like the BBC.

What do we want....Not sure.......when do we want want it......want what?!

Protesting because they thought it was the right thing to do.......Absolutely priceless!

So you don't think it's right that black people are treated equally? Apparently not. I do. That's the difference.

Gordaleman

Imagine going on a protest and not knowing about the cause you were protesting for? Simpletons Most were protesting because they thought it was the right thing to do. Not because they were supporting an organisation called 'Black lives matter' that already existed. I doubt they even knew, especiall...

Gordaleman

I think you'll find that most people who joined in the 'Black Lives Matter' protests, were not even aware that there was an organisation called 'Black Lives Matter', never mind knew that it was a political organisation with views some people might not agree with. I certainly didn't. They just felt t...

Thought the Brady extension may have been a master stroke to keep Hendrick. If it was, it backfired, but would certainly leave us needing to sign another player. No way we can afford to replace so many players in one summer. Also impressed with Brownhill. You're missing my point completely. We've o...

Is the Man utd v Brighton game in slow motion ?

It's not as slow as the Leeds game. The stream has gone down.

It's back. Damn, Leeds have equalised.

If Leeds lost every game they will still go up, as Frank says there's nobody consistant to catch them.

Still doesn't stop me enjoying seeing them lose.

Leeds one down. Great goal.

C'mon you 'atters.

Looked onside when looking at the player further along.

Not sure, I only saw it once but the ball was out of play just before the goal and it wasn't given.

2-0 United but it looked off side to me. VAR says not. What a surprise.

Damn. Man Ure one up at Brighton.

There's sometimes a team that makes a late run for the play offs, could be Derby for a change, they usually make a late run out of the play offs !

Hope it's Preston. Wouldn't mind them back in the PL. Bar Stewards could be the meat in a PL sandwich.

Don't you mean Radio Blackburn, they're is bad as the LET, we play in the PL and get a result, and yet our report is halfway down the site, whereas Rovers have a run of the mill Champ game, and it's the lead article. Tough for Rovers to make the play-offs now you'd hope, mind you with the bunch of ...

Hmm, your definition fits "debating" better, Gordaleman.

Not far removed from what I said earlier. And it's by means a new...

So you base that on one performance. I think Hendrick is a big loss and it is also obvious that Dyche does. I am an admirer of Hendrick and he's the only player I would have kept in this contract saga. However, he made his mind up to leave having been offered a new contract and that's his right. No...

You have every right to slag him off, but most on here would rather politics were kept to a minimum and the same threads.

Starting one with just NEW DEAL as the title will attract football fans thinking it will be club business.

You sound like another Tory, trying to defend the indefensible.

Gordaleman

Sky Sports News today suggesting that it is unlikely we will agree anything with Hendrick today so he will become a free agent. Rob Dorsett believes he’s will agree a deal with Milan in the next few days. Judging by Brownhill's performance last night, Hendrick wouldn't have got that many games next...

Just wondering. I wonder if all this fantastic publicity Ben has had recently will influence Sarfgate to give him a game at last?

I can't think of anyone more deserving, as his football is speaking as loudly as his interviews.

Planning for them, to ensure we have a squad for the season is his responsibility, vased on the advice of his manager.

Hmm. Says the poster who believes everything is "resolved" because Bardsley signed a new deal. That seems like a judgement on heresay to me rather than a fact.

Anyway, no worries, nice talking with you.

That is my opinion, I never said it was a fact. Good night.
