Close all the tiers and offer it as a streamed TV service. That'll sort it!

If we're trying to cut costs and not caring about upsetting people lets take it to the next level by closing the whole stadium and offering fans an alternative seat in Ewood park instead.

It's not like we wouldn't have room for all the adult males that want to pitch up. I'd rather get more through the gate than shut the place down.

Oh and lets get the Stones booked up quick, while they're still on the road.

If you start me up I'll never stop.....
Yep, I'll go along with the women half price bit, where do I sign up Enoch?? :)

I'm not sure you want to sign up with Enoch without some sort of counselling... :-)

Hi everyone,

ITFC fan here. I was on here in January as we were linked with Pratley at the time, but as i'm sure you are all aware, we have took Liam Feeney off you now (Mick confirmed deal to be completed today).

Just wanted to know your thoughts on him, and what he could add to our side?

Believe Mick tried signing him for us whilst he was at Milwall, but he went to yourselves instead.

Cheers,
ITFC

Good honest worker. Will give you a 6 or 7 out of ten performance most weeks. With the odd 9 out of ten thrown in here and there.

Has pace and works very hard but his end product most of the time isn't great for the amount of ball he gets.

Good championship pro though.

Sadly like most here on too much money for what he could offer, but that isn't his fault. At least he always tried, which is more than many of ours.

Nobody has more assists this season than his five. Nobody has more goals this season than his five. That tells you a lot about our season. He also average 2.2 key passes (creating chances) per game, which doesn't sound like much, but it's sixth in the division and our next-highest bloke is on 1.3. Again, says a lot.

Feeney is fast. He works hard. He can play across the front line, although he's much better IMO on the right. Even there his crossing can be erratic, in common with every winger who ever walked the planet.

Whoa, hang on I remember Peter Thompson with his crosses from the line, Davo would have loved them.

Pretty much what BWFCI and DSB have said. He's a trier who always gives 100%, and he's one of the few this season who hasn't shirked away from trying to put in effort and performances. He's not the most skillful, and he is limited as a player, but with his work rate and effort he's an asset in this league. If the rest of our team had his mentality we might not necessarily be where we are now.

He's become a bit of a scapegoat, for some reason, amongst the wider fan base. As DSB said his stats put him at the top of our assists and key passes tables, but I think he's slightly wrong as to my knowledge Feeney is second(?) on our goalscoring charts with Madine slightly ahead on 6. That's not bad at all for a limited but fast winger. But to some of our fans the stats mean nothing and they're willing to jump on him at any point.

I reckon you've got yourself an asset there, even if just as a rotation player.
TBF some of our fans are just complete knobs. As Feeney heads out and Danns isn't playing, they'll find the next scapegoat on the list and blame it all on them - in spite of anything approaching evidence to the contrary.

Feeney for me, is as you say, a limited but 110% effort player. He will put crosses in the wrong places most certainly - if he got 100% of them on Madine's head (who'd miss the fecker anyhow), he wouldn't be playing for us.

The same feckers that screamed abuse at Feeney from the sidelines will now be going mental at the club for letting "our best player" out on loan.

It is just modern football fans. I shudder to think of the reaction when they wake up and realise the market (if we even have a market) we are shopping in for next season.
