Blackburn Rovers v Swansea City : Official Matchday Thread 12:23 - Mar 7 with 14154 viewsNotLoyal

The hateful eyes of the championship, every fan throughout the land will want the swans to lose this one.



Tuesday 9th March 2021
Kick off 6pm
Ewood Park, Blackburn

Swans TV and iFollow

RADIO
Talk Sport 2 LIVE commentary


It’s that ‘extra’ game on bilious Brentford that raises its ugly head. Fresh from the glare of the man child exploding and his tantrum over a penalty given away by his ridiculous decision to try and win a game he had no right to win. It’s Blackburn v Swansea.

Match Officials
ROBERT JONES
Ian Hussin and Adrian Holmes
Fourth Official : Geoff Eltringham

Merseyside official Jones also took charge of the Swans twice last season, having the whistle for the win over Cardiff and the draw against West Brom at the Liberty Stadium. His only other previous Swansea game was the Carabao Cup clash with MK Dons in 2017, which the Swans won 4-1. Jones, who has refereed in the Championship since 2017, will be assisted by Ian Hussin and Adrian Holmes, while Geoff Eltringham is the fourth official. Robert Jones would like to make it known he has never played rugby. However, he has secretly stated he owes Swansea City a penalty or two and will definitely have that in the back of his mind.

The game has been rescheduled because Tony left the taps on for the last game and flooded the ground, strangely enough the once competent drainage system and under soil heating failed to work, allegedly because it wasn’t on, allegedly because the club couldn’t afford it, allegedly.


Tony’s textbook tactical tampering

As we can see swans tv are showing the game to season ticket holders who live in a light green market who hold season tickets between rows F and K. Personally I think this is scant reward for these people who have been in the glare of the yellow market since June 2020. I think it’s time there was a strongly worded letter sent from the red market to the club possibly moaning about something just for the sake of it. Legal action could happen. 😂 Not. Or even twice. Send the same letter twice or two different ones. In the days before markets there were markets but they were not called markets. It’s odd there is still a dark market, this sounds terrible and isn’t a place at would want to be without a torch. Long live the partially fluid, non gender, off purple, let’s have drugs market. It’s the place to be.

FORM GUIDE
Blackburn have won one of their last six games, Swansea two out of their last six, oooops ! silly me, I meant four from their last six games. In their last six games Swansea lost at home to Middlesbrough 2-1, Oh damn, so sorry, I’m confused so easily these days, in their last game Swansea beat Middlesbrough 2-1, and Blackburn won away at Millwall 2-0.

The last time Blackburn beat Swansea in the league was in 2011, the score was 4-2:in the premier league. Back in October the swans beat Blackburn 2-0 at the Liberty. That premier league win for Blackburn in 2011 was the first time the sides had met since 1984. Since then games have ended either in a draw or a Swansea win.

Simply need to see more of Hourihane tonight. Can’t see how he replicates Smith’s energy but go and prove me wrong fella!

Ariolla not in squad I think he will be going back end of month.

Smith and Manning back on the bench, back to the Grimes, Fulton, Hourihane midfield. Lowe starts with Ayew.

Not surprised at Bidwell coming back in but worry a bit about our midfield again...

Would've preferred Arriola on the bench to Routs. He must be raring to go after the lengths some people went to derail him at the weekend. Hopefully some game time Saturday

There’s definitely an issue with the recruitment of Arriola.

Routs back from injury, good news, I was only thinking after seeing Cooper being quizzed on the weekend about the possibility of losing Ayew for 3 games what a loss Cullen could turn out to be as he is a forward and a goalscorer.

Yep, his signing has some mystery about it, doesn't seem to sit well that's for sure.

I notice a Watford fan on a Blackburn message board asking for their team to thrash cheering Welsh morons tonight, lol.

Same midfield that played against Hudds isn’t it?

Team bus late getting into ground aswell which isn’t ideal.

Agree with Keith aswell. Serious issues with the Ariolla signing between board (incl Scott) and Cooper imo.

Nice to see Wayne back

So experienced

And also good to see their best player Elliot on the subs bench

Cooper has done the same with a few player he was thought not to have requested.
We are crying out for a bit of pace.

Hourihane took that corner, didn’t beat first man, out to Roberts who held it and played it back down line and look where he is!!!!!

Not acceptable

It isn't getting any better and it won't when the rest have to carry Hourihane.

The Blackburn players are quite fast.

I think we could do with Smith or Dhanda to inject some fizz or quality in midfield.
Guehi, Cabango and Naughton are again having to attempt to bypass them.

I think that Hourihane is actually getting worse instead of better.

Awful goal to concede, Pass it back when there is no need, then make a mess of the clearance and Feddie doesn't excel himself.

Truly awful kick out by Woodman.
Shocker.
Tired of the up and under as an attacking ploy too.
