But still think there's a difference between two games to go and the actual final game away from home against a team that is also done, and their table in Ushuaia Ibiza is tonight rather than next week. But we shall see I actually think it will be a very different line-up to last week's anyway. Page, Aluko, Monga to start, etc. 2

Ironically for people that don’t care about this crop of players or the regime and don’t want to give their time up on them - have given the club up etc. an awful lot of you post religiously on here about them, it’s laughable. There may even be one or two that want to wish Ricky P all the best as he’s he may be passed it now but he has served the club well and hopefully will be warmly remembered for his earlier performances and notably his goal against PSV. End of the day people have the right do what they like with their time and money. Just as there is nothing wrong with criticising people you disagree with. If people want to travel nearly 300 miles to seal clap Ricardo for a goal he scored 4 years ago fair enough. 1 1

Swansea was when I knew it was 100% done but the Wednesday game just killed any remaining realistic hope. 3

Much like it is their right to go to Blackburn and clap the relegation on Saturday, it is my right to take the piss out of them today. I'm not angry with them, it's past that. But I'm also done pussyfooting it around those who are accountable for the outcome of the last few years.

It's social media, would not take any of the so called abuse seriously,. But the bolded paragraph is exceptionally, incredibly and disturbingly true. I cannot remember the amount of times happy clappers like that Kettering guy and Lakoyne said they're done with the club, but somehow still knew much more about the club than fans like myself, and then come back 13 mins later to re-emphasise they're done with the club, for years on end. And you know all these happy clappers pronouncing they've given up all ties with the club and instead go to breakfast with their mates will be queuing up for tickets at some point. 1 1

Popular Post BRFC1875 Posted 30 April Popular Post Posted 30 April (edited) 1 hour ago, SecretPro said: Anyone going to this is a right mug I'm going In all seriousness, I've read a lot of topics on this forum over the last few weeks and it fascinates me because it echoes lots of the things you'll find over on the Rovers forums, the main one being the obvious massive divide there is in our fanbases. Without being too soppy, what I would say is that when I hear people saying their club is a waste of time, they're a joke, they're finished with them etc etc it makes me sad. The fact is Leicester City and Blackburn Rovers are not identified by the people who run the club at the moment or even the players that play for them. They are identified by the Cities or Town's they represent and the generations of fans that have loved and followed them religiously for knocking on 150 years. People are lashing out because as much as they deny it, it hurts to see their club struggling and seeing overpaid mercenaries kissing the team badge and acting like they care when in actual fact they only care about themselves. Seeing owners on an ego trip, loads of money, but little knowledge about the game or what the football clubs they're custodians of actually mean to the people that love them. So what I would say is, yes be mad and lash out at the under performing players and poor owners if you like, but don't ever slag off your club. Deep down you know you love it or it wouldn't invoke such extreme emotions. I love my club, always have and always will and you can admit that without being a happy clapper or feeling like you're supporting the people responsible for our current situations.

Honestly, I love this club, always will. It's current guise is horrific, but Leicester City FC, yeah, I will always love it. However, after a season of absolute woeful, disgustingly bad on pitch and off pitch performances, a game that has absolutely no meaning in any way shape or form I can think of so many better things to do on a sunny Saturday bank holiday weekend that does not involve depression and anger. It's an away game for us and frankly, 2000 turning up on a long trip to Blackburn for an absolute nothing game and clapping the lads off for the season sends absolutely the wrong message to the club in it's current guise. You can be a lifelong fan and love your club and still have dignity. 2 2
BRFC1875 Posted 30 April Posted 30 April (edited) Of course, I don't in anyway blame people for not going. In life in general people don't like being "mugged off" and that's what it feels like when you follow a club blindly and you see people running it or playing for it without any real feeling's for the club and getting paid fortunes to boot. It does smack of having the p!ss taken out of you. The most annoying thing is, they'll get away with it, because people's love of their club is so deep that they'll keep turning up and paying their money regardless of the sh!t they're getting served up. You'll get a drop off of course but football is not a business as some would have us believe and no matter how badly they treat their "customers" a lot will keep coming back for more and they know that. Without going off on a tangent, football started to lose it's soul when SKY got involved and the Premier League was founded. It's then that the game started to be more about money, money men, rich people on ego trips, big corporations etc etc and less about the average working class man that's kept the game going for decades. In many ways our clubs have been stolen from us by the super rich and in the cases of Leicester and the Rovers, run into the ground. Just one thing I would add is that where our situations differ is that there's not really an issue with our fanbase and the players in general, it's all about the owners. Obviously you get players getting slagged off for not being good enough, but the actual effort they've put in this season is rarely questioned, in many ways we've over performed. Obviously with Leicester it's the exact opposite, there's no way that squad should be getting relegated and it's an obvious indication that a good few have not been putting in a shift.

Dmitry Posted 30 April Posted 30 April I will be very surprised if Rowett starts anyone other than his usual core group on Saturday. If he starts the youth players (or even gives them one full half) and they show exemplary football, he will expose himself as a total fraud. 2
markko Posted 30 April Posted 30 April I am not going to bother wasting any time on Saturday bothering with this. It seems they are all planning their exits. Probably have been for some time. Well off you pop. What has Rudkin been analysing this season? how to get the biggest sick notes, no hopes and no marks. Congratulations you achieved your goal. Ramsey has a month out when he cuts his finger nails. I thought Bertrand was bad but he has a rival. Just get them all gone. No doubt Mr Rudkin will still be here masterminding next year's demise. He cannot possibly be a fan of the club or he has absolutely no shame.

I really don't care. Game doesn't matter for anyone, so play a staff 11 rather than the failures this season. It honestly doesn't matter. Draw positions out the hat make it interesting at least.

Rubbersoul Posted 30 April Posted 30 April “I don’t think I’m suddenly going to put an under-23s team out there. I don’t think that’s fair either. We haven’t got five or six players from the youth team that have been doing so well that they’re suddenly going to come into this team and start.” “We’ll try to make some good decisions and have a chat to the club about the ones we think can be involved. But we’ve also got a squad of players there that might be here next season, so we have to find a balance.” It’s going to be the exact same side isn’t it? It’ll be Daka up front despite the fact he’s leaving. So pointless. I personally wouldn’t even be starting James in this. 1 2
Raj Posted 1 May Posted 1 May Really unbelieveable that anyone with half a brain is actually bothered or interested in this. As a mark of disrespcet to the team there should be NO match thread on the day. 1

I dread to think how much we've been paying the former captain of a UCL side. We've conceded 13 goals in the 592 minutes he's played for us.

It'll be that sweet spot between the most senior set of players available without risking a player we'll be hoping to sell.
