Re: Rovers protest
If they want local celebrity ownership… they’re mixing up Lee Mac and Big Mac I suspect. Their wrath should be aimed at the Walker children… they had no interest in Uncle Jack’s legacy and palmed it off at the first opportunity. If anything Blackburn Rovers got lucky… their owners may have got it h...

Re: The £100 million
When you think about it, £100 million sounds an awful lot, but is it? You would probably get 3/4 players of proven PL quality for that and if you were a top 6 club you'd probably get 2. We got 12/13? players. That's because we were shopping in a far cheaper market and buying potential and then (in t...

That's a clear foul on Ramsey and he's ended up badly hurt. That's god awful refereeing at this level. Plus (as mentioned above) kicking the ball away when a free kick is awarded is a yellow card, but only in the first half it seems, which is weird!
