Roy's View From... View From Blackburn

[Guesty]

'I read the news today Oh Boy. Four thousand weeping souls in Blackburn, Lancashire'.

Cheers Roy

I've been trying to work that into a joke since about 21:40 last night.

 

[sufcboy95]

hahahahahaha that is one of the most deluded biased view froms I’ve ever seen

 

[dublin 10 blade]

Actually Swans don't dive, a more accurate description would be a Coot or a Tufted Duck who are diving birds.

You're welcome.

Bit of a twitcher are ya Torrix

Cheers Panchero!

Hope the Blackburn fans, and their made-of-cotton- wool football team, got home in one piece last night.

 

[Moan? Nope-I saw Longhorn]

Funniest moment was when after the goal, 5 or 6 of their 'firm' ran over to the corner of their stand to face G&H block with arms out, giving it some. The stewards created a barrier, but you could have held them back with a lasso made out of a cotton thread.

I don't know what they were most pissed off about - the missed pen, the last minute defeat or that for 3 or 4 of them they have back to back Maths & Geography this morning.

Aye
Just out of interest how did G & H block behave / respond?

 

[Blend-it-like-Harris]

The ref probably got the red card & the penalty right. But everything else...

• Gallagher diving trying to win a penalty - not simulation then?
• Khadra (?) spinning round like a top (the wrong way!) when Baldock barely touched him
• Their CB climbing all over Billy at least twice - nothing given
• Berge getting booked for .... well for what exactly??

Don't forget the linesman! (Though the lino on the other side at least knows there's such a thing as a "Foul" throw.)

 

[Deadly_D'Jaffo]

Aye

The G & H block is pretty tame now compared to 25+ years ago. I didn't see any aggro.

 

[nicksufc]

Deserved to win? Dominated? Did they have any actual chances apart from the penalty?

 

[JohnDenver]

People take what they want from a football match.

We were by far the better team for 20 minutes and the offside goal is super marginal if at all.

They then got controll of midfield for the rest of the game really. The only real problem we've got left, if teams get in our faces and get into Norwoods space.

I understand their frustration but without Brereton they don't seem to have a goal in them. Would like to see our handball shout back. They looked pretty similar to me

This. ^^

I was concerned about the strong gusts and I'm sure their number 27 would have been blown down several times.

The rest of them would have struggled too, what with being made of chocolate and all that.

As pathetic a bunch of injury feigning cheats, as you could possibly meet.

Twats!

 

[Jason jacobs]

It was the same ref who sent gibbs white off against Millwall. The 2nd yellow was for diving in box. Pity the ref was not in the same mood last night with Blackburn.

 

[Grumps]

“They’re a nasty team though. Great ref, they could have had more yellows and another red though, but no complaints.”

” I haven’t seen as thuggish a team since the 70s. Ref lost it when he ignored the Nyambe faceplant.”


“We were dominant, against a disgracefully desperate team of cynical cloggers.”

“The THUGS win”

“According to Radio Sheffield we were the thugs who came to stop them playing.
The BBC shouldn’t be allowed to do this. “

“We deserved a point against a team of twats. “

“Dirty United bastards. “

“If we somehow hang on for a play off place i hope we play these dirty bastards in it and give them a kicking. “


” Ref let their players scream in his face all night.
Didn’t even attempt to stop or warn them”

Are you sure you was at the game or were you a armchair supporter. Sounds like sour grapes from your lot, oh and how much did your club pay the referee

Indeed ( thankfully)
Unlikely to see any “aggro” given there’s 50 yards & stewards between em
Begs the question as to why bairns from Blackburn & Swansea afore & … feel the need to goad the good folk of G & H blocks

 

[originaltrueblade]

Worst fans to come to the lane too proper wank bastards,few of em tried to clip a few blades near away end soon got sent packing

You ever been to Blackburn that’s wank too

Experimental 361's xG ratings are usually on the lower side but Davies' was on the volley for a centre-half with two men on the line. Infogol had it at 0.61 which feels a bit better but then they rated Goode's header on the stretch at 0.45 compared to Sharp's free header from 6 yards out at 0.32.

 

[Alex Cheeseright]

How many times do you her managers say their team got bullied tonight/today after losing? We are now the bullies. Hecky Steel.

Kid in a grey flat cap jumped out and ran towards them but soon got captured by the stewards

Just shows you how random it really is

There is also a bird called the great northern diver...

Blackburn got exactly what they deserved. Rot in purgatory you fucking shithouse wankers.

Oh dear, have they upset you !
Just revel in the win I am hoping we don’t see them again for some years

 

[Bladesthorpe]

Yes, Wes made 2 excellent saves 2nd half and Kahdra just missed with a great free kick.

I've calmed down a bit today.
Hope you're right.

“Absolutely devastated and booted my coffee table which is now busted. In the dog house in the morning for sure. FFS.”

 

[Heely bottoms underpants]

Roy, can you please get the details of the coffee table crippler.. I have one that's slightly damaged for sale.
I usually stab the sofa with a butter knife when we win.

 

[blade67]

checked the extended highlights today. Wes had 3 proper saves to make versus their goalie with 6 to make of which 1 wasn't saved I think that tells a pretty decent story of the game. Plus we might of had a penalty ourselves and I'm not 100% convinced the goal was offside. More possesion, more corners, more shots on and off target. all that despite playing a quarter of the game with 10 men
