    Fallen short?

    Unfortunately the last transfer window spoke volumes. Despite being well below us at the time Forest showed real intent in strengthening their squad and maximising their use of the loan system, while we did the opposite. Subsequent injuries, Hamer suspension, player tiredness etc have ensured...

    Surely MR won't play Dabo at CB again - will he?

    The trouble is that by doing that the problem remains. Referees already have the authority to add time for time wasting! I'm fine with people being traditionalists (I am for the most part too) but in respect to this issue I think we have to keep things as they are and trust referees to deal with...

    I was there when.....

    Worst memory that comes to mind was the awful atmosphereless bonfire 0-0 game with Bradford at HR. Truly the worst most miserable game I have ever watched, even worse than the odd hammering over the years like the Notts County 5-1 game, where they could easily have scored 9, but the gallows...

    I was there when.....

    Wasn't at that game but was there when Aloisi did the same to Danny Mills. Soltvedt then scored us a late winner despite our ten men. Another 10 man victory I remember watching was a 3-0 win in the cup at Filbert Street, after I think Boateng was sent off around half time. Mind you we did have...

    Next year Season tickets

    You could have hit upon something here. I think the club should publish a running total of season ticket sales on their social media platforms. Got a feeling it could help build up its own momentum and encourage waverers to commit to buying.

    Are we getting a name for ourselves off the pitch?

    While I accept that reports suggest trouble has been on the up, and don't disagree that it needs to be tackled, this particular video seems to show more people stood around voyeuristically rubber necking than actually taking part in any disorder, so not sure how dangerous this situation was...

    I disagree - you wouldn't be able to manage the clock by taking ages over goal kicks, throw ins or set pieces, or feigning injuries, or taking ages over substitutions or over celebrating goals, as the clock would be stopped in all those circumstances. You would only be able to manage the clock...

    Wouldn't bother me, but you would have to accept 3pm games finishing at 6pm if you did that. It is widely accepted that ball is in play for no more than 30 minutes a half in games at present, which is why it is proposed, as it is more in line with the 45 minute halves we currently have.

    The passage of time has probably eroded your memories, but League 2 was terrible for it. Every team that came to the Ricoh took eternities over set pieces, throw ins & substitutions. The biggest wind up for me was goalkeepers taking a minute or so to take goal kicks. Can't remember the...

    So make it 2 halves of 30 minutes. Clock only runs when the ball is active. Wouldn't need a ref to manage it either & the timekeeping could be linked directly to the scoreboard so we all know where we stand.

    Easily solved, you just make it like rugby whereby the final whistle doesn't go until the ball goes out of play.

    Blackburn not on ifollow

    They advertise a season pass but clearly state that certain games are not included, there is no great deception going on. TV games are selected as the season progresses so there is always an element of uncertainty about exactly how many games you will see. It is obvious therefore that the better...

    Fair point. Its definitely difficult missing out on a game when you're used to seeing the team play week in week out.

    Blackburn not on ifollow

    I signed up for i follow in the full knowledge that certain games would not be shown, which was made clear by them from the start. We have had more games affected than we probably expected but unfortunately that is a side effect of having a good season, in that TV will want to show more of our...

    Blackburn not on ifollow

    You are looking at it from a UK based angle, and rightly or wrongly as of now you are not supposed to access the matches from the UK unless they are mid-week games. I think there is an option to pay match by match, but for those overseas I would argue the annual match pass is still great value...

    Really sorry to hear this. My daughter went to her first ever away game this season with her boyfriend at Peterborough and loved it. She then went to Reading but unfortunately had a similar experience to yours. Before that she had been planning to go to a few other away games, but that...

    I blame Hyam more for the 2nd, passing straight to their player when under no pressure, which led to a Moore save and the following corner they scored from.

    Wonder how much we would have had to pay for Trond Egil Soltvedt in today's market?
