I don't hate him. Appreciate the job he did, don't think he could take us further and from what i saw at blues and blackburn so far, I think he's a manager who will never have a promotion or relegation on his cv which is perfectly fine.
The point I'm responding to is this win apparently shows that people who have said Blackburn will fall away over January were wrong. The results over January prove them correct though with this being 8 points in 10 games.
The only difference to his season with blues, is that he started from a higher points tally to soften this dip in form largely because of those 6 consecutive victories.
We'd be top 8 this season with this squad, it really was a huge missed opportunity getting relegated.
That’s one thing we can’t be sure of mate.
We were going to score 100 goals as well in the league this season
I couldn’t belive the pen was given for a defender who was watching the flight of the ball goes to defend it which is his job so heads it away and nit his fault head the attackers head by mistake and the ref gives a penalty? It’s madness your going to end up with defenders to scared to go for a header soon in case the ref gives a pen against them soon or your going to end up with 5 to 6 pens a game in this case as it happens in every game . It’s crazy decision
It’s a pen for me. Preston should’ve had one in the last minute as well.

Better add failing eyesight to your ever-growing list Rab 🤭🤭
Already on.
If you don’t think they’re pens though, I dunno what to say
Second one was, I agree. First one, not for me, otherwise there would be a foul called for every accidental clash of heads.
The Blackburn player headed the ball and was smashed by a Preston player not getting the ball. It’s the definition of a foul. Accidental doesn’t come into it. Heads , feet or body.
Saliba gave away a pen recently at Brighton by nutting Jaoa Pedro.
Hogg could say he accidentally collided with Iwata. It’s still a foul
You've described a foul. Going for the ball, an opponent getting there first and then headbutting player is a foul.
Tbf the set of defending is the get the ball, if they don’t and there’s legitimate contact , not a tap, but enough to impede someone, it’s a foul

How can legitimate contact be a foul? 😁
Anyhoo, moving on, it's time to get another cocktail 👍
Contact with the man rather than the ball he means
As in force and not getting the ball it’s a foul if you headbbutt someone
Did you struggle with the bit that impedes someone
