Thank Christ for that, Spain!

Thank Christ for that. Viva España!

I did a double take when I saw this. He is one of ours! #brfc

And don't overlook that if it had not been for points deductions #Rovers would have been relegated. We would have finished a point behind WBA and behind Leicester on goal difference: Leicester -10, Rovers -14.

Thank you Burnley for making my birthday even better. Come on you Blues!

To celebrate 1the 150th anniversary of the founding of Blackburn Rovers, here is the first match report I have found. It is from the Blackburn Standard on 18 December 1875. Is this the Rovers first match?

I hope Travis takes note of the score at Pride Park #Rovers

Always said Ismael was a good un... #rovers

Always said Gueye was a good un 🙄

Gueye is looking like a good signing now!

Has JRC forgotten how to play fullback?

Thanks Boro. Rovers onwards to 4th round!

If you fancy a virtual guided walk around Bath this is the tthread for you!

Be more like these ladies in 2025!

Phew, Rovers

Oooh, Harry Leonard!

When was the last time Rovers won 5 in a row? And I can't remember when we were so tight defensively.

Just had my first follow from a Bluesky porn bot. Blocked and reported.

Snowy bird in Blackburn this morning.

@markcrail.bsky.social Do you know if much work has been done on the role of Chartists in finding work for the Polish Refugees who were deported from Constantinople to Liverpool in 1851? I came across this when I was intrigued to find an entry for Carl Kisielowski in Blackburn in 1901 census.

@markcrail.bsky.social I recently came across Rev. J W Whittaker's sermon to the Chartists in Blackburn Library. Are you aware of it? I haven't found it online but I did find this article. blogs.baylor.edu/19crs/2022/1...

My article about the violence associated with the 1868 elections in Blackburn, Lancashire. 2 men died during the local and borough elections. Blackburn became notorious nationally and even internationally. I trace the origins of this violence. #C19th www.cottontown.org/Politics/Vot...

Can any #c18th help Sam?
