Why Blackburn Rovers?
When I used to live in England, my nana came over from Australia and went to the markets and bought me a Blacburn shirt. And I’ve loved them ever since.
All time favourite Rovers player?
David Dunn. Best Burnley fan ever :lol: Despite supporting the scum growing up, he’s one of the most passionate players to pull on our shirt. Great player as well, one of the few CM’s we have who will play the ball on the deck. Also helps he scored a late equaliser against Burnley to preserve our 34 year unbeaten streak against them in the league :lol:
Current favourite Rovers player?
See above.
One player from Rovers you’d happily drive to his next club?
Would be Bradley Orr, but I believe he’s in the process of leaving at the moment. Can’t think of anyone else.
Player from one of your hated clubs you like?
Charlie Austin. Oh wait, he’s just ditched Burnely :lol:
Why Perth Glory?
Because I live in Perth and went along to games when I was younger.
All Time favourite Glory player?
Jamie Harnwell, narrowly ahead of Mori and Bobby D. Love the guy. Bled purple and orange. Loved the club, absolute legend.

Can you vent about the Venky's for me?
OK, this is going to take a long time. A timeline of events can be viewed below.
- They sacked Sam Alaradyce, who I didn’t like but had us in a stable condition, after he had us in mid-table.
- They give the job to steve Kean. After a solid first couple of monhts. They sign him up on a lengthy deal. I think it was about 3 years. Ludicrous for someone who had done alright in his first two months.
- After Kean very nearly relegates us, they decide to keep him on as manager with the belief he is the right man.
- A year later Kean has taken us from a very solid EPL club to the Championship. Still, they do nothing. This is in spite of pleas from fans, ex-players and even local politicians to intervene. Through all this, despite having the worst record in the EPL, Kean remains untouchable. His refusal to admit the team is playing poorly infuriates the fans, instead always seeing “positives in the performance”. Meanwhile, for their protests, the fans are branded disloyal, plastic and horrible by other fans. When in reality, what the fuck are they meant to do? Just sit by and watch their club be ruined by poultry farmers? Fuck off.
- Average attendance has dropped to 12, 000 as we enter the 2nd tier. Many stay home because they don’t want anything to do with the Venkys.
- The Venkys invite some fans who have written to them over to India to hear their concerns. They meet up with one of the Venkys, who hears them out and tells them they’ll act. This was a year ago and the fans have still have not heard anything back, not had their concerns acted on.
- Shebby Singh, a Malaysian football pundit, is given the job of “Global Advisor”. He is still the only person in this position in England (IIRC).
- With the club 6th, Kean is finally sacked. The club appoints former Rover and Man United defender Henning Berg to the post, despite an average record in Norway. Shebby Singh oversees his appointment.
- After a poor run of results, Berg sees on the local news one night he has been sacked. No phone call. A Blackburn fan favourite and he wasn’t told. Singh, currently feuding with fellow board members Agnew and Shaw, is frozen out. The pair appoint Michael Appleton, despite him having just five games in charge of Blackpool.
- The feuding between Singh and Agnew/Shaw continues, as they try to one-up each other. The Venkys sit back and watch.
- With Appleton doing poorly, he is handed a letter sent by the Venkys telling him his time with club is up.
- It surfaces Berg is suing the Venkys for lack of compensation.
- Shaw is sacked despite flying to India after being told his job was safe as Shebby singh asserts more control at Ewood Park.
- The Venkys also refused to be interviewed as part of a fan-made documentary about the struggles of the club under their ownership. Singh was the only board member to be interviewed, although he did so before his antics last season.
I missed the initial post that started it, what the fuck is this coffee thing?
Basically, some people believe that because I asked a girl out to coffee, I thought that girl was mine and I didn’t have to do any work in getting her to like me anymore. They assumed I thought that was job done. It’s actually funny they still use that joke, it’s a bit sad really. Going for cheap laughs is really just scraping the bottom of the barrel IMO.

You can make Glory win the double or get rid of Venkys and install the perfect owners. Which do you choose?
