Once again we lead you through the world of the Matchday thread where your thirst for knowledge is quenched and your desire for more is less. More or less.
Blackburn Rovers v Swansea City
EFL Championship

Match Officials
ROBERT JONES
Scott Ledger and Adrian Holmes
Fourth Official : Scott Oldham
Referee Robert Jones used to play for Swansea at throwing
Further good news for the swans is that fourth official Scott from Oldham isn’t a big fan of Blackburn, in fact he thinks they are dog stuff. He has promised to wind up Blackburn manager Tony Mowbray by winking at him and blowing kisses.
This is the second time the sides have met this season, when they met in the last game that was the first time this season. The very first time the sides ever, ever met was on the 9th January 1915. The swans won 1-0 in a first round FA Cup tie.
It wouldn’t be until 1936 when the teams next met. On the 7th November that year Swansea beat Blackburn 1-0 at the Vetch Field in league division two. The only time the sides have drawn 0-0 was on the 1st November 1980 at Ewood Park, not bad considering the sides have met 44 times before this match.
Here are the teams from the only 0-0 draw between the two clubs
Swans manager Steve Cooper and Blackburn manager Tony Mowbray are very close
A true love Story ( play the music to ‘OurTune’ Simon Bates Radio 1)
Sadly before Steve Cooper became a football manager he was living on the streets of Melton Mowbray, just outside Wales. His dad was a washed up old ref, his dog ‘Leroy’ ( because of all the fur) had been taken in to custody by the coppers, things were bloody tough. Then one day Tony Mowbray of Melton saw him sat in a bus stop near the village of Arsemartin, and straight away he took pity on him. Over time their relationship blossomed, gentle touching, the odd glance, a chuckle and a gaze when others were looking away.
Yes, Tony and Steve were in love.
Sadly, they knew that it would never work, Steve, as gentle as he could be in certain situations wanted to be on the grass, and when he wasn’t on the grass he wanted to be in the building. Tony could only watch as one day Steve packed his bags and walked away and out of his life. As he walked on to the rain splattered road as the sun rose over the Mowbrays Steve turned and said ‘ It’s the non negotiables Tone, that’s the problem, the non negotiables’. Tony knew Steve was right, and as he closed the door and sighed, he smiled, he loved Steve so much he had to let him go. And Steve knew it. And it wasn’t until now that we could reveal the real truth. â¤ï¸

Matchday News
Possibly 8 out injured
Battered and bruised at the weekend against Stoke City, Rovers were forced to replace both Joe Rothwell and Sam Gallagher due to injury in the 1-1 draw against the Potters. And with Elliott Bennett, Joe Rankin-Costello, Corry Evans, Daniel Ayala, Derrick Williams and Scott Wharton all out of action, Mowbray's hopeful that nobody else will be added to the list of casualties.There’s a few knocks and niggles, a few players who have been with the physios," Mowbray reported to iFollow Rovers. We’ll have to wait and see. Nobody’s ruling anybody out but nobody’s ruling anybody in. I’ve always got food for thought when it comes to selection and you can’t keep picking the same players when you have a game every few days. We’ll look to move a few things about, whilst keeping the same kind of intensity and playing how we like to play," he added. We’ll see tomorrow who’s available and try to pick a team to give Swansea problems."

More later
In the meantime here are some kittens.
And here is some Brazilian bum cream.
More news to follow.
Match postponed because Tony went mad with a hosepipe overnight.
We will dig this thread back up for the rearranged fixture.

Their fans think the pitch is the worst in Championship, so more of the same as we saw on Saturday night I think. War of attrition. |  | | |

We have had plenty of practice on a poor pitch |  |
| Swansea Indepenent Poster Of The Year 2021. Dr P / Mart66 / Roathie / Parlay / E20/ Duffle was 2nd, but he is deluded and thinks in his little twisted brain that he won. Poor sod. We let him win this year, as he has cried for a whole year. His 14 usernames, bless his cotton socks.

If Keith Walker and Mark Harris can keep Shearer and Sutton quiet we should be ok. They’ve got a quick winger Ripley so John Ford needs to be at his best too. |  |

I went to that match featured in the programme. Dug out a very good 0-0 that had a significant impact on us going up above them. Neil Brotherson had a late goal disallowed for offside. We all enjoyed a rousing chorus of "Sit down, Sit down"!! | | | |

Yet another massive game, fixture list has not been kind with two fixtures back to back up North for the Swans in a short timeframe.
Important Swans win to keep the pressure up, stay in second in the table with a cushion and stay second on PPG. |  |

It would. Just a couple of hours training this morning and back up to Lancashire tonight it’s a tough tiring schedule to be fair to our lads. | |

Some bloke wanted three draws for the three away games before a trip to Swansea favourite hunting ground Yorkshire. . Swansea is not in a relegation battle. it smacks of low expection. |  |

It doesn’t smack of anything
A point at Blackburn will indeed be satisfying | |

A draw would not be a bad result but we need to be looking to win again, there are only 2 automatic spots up for grabs. | |

I didn't have a great feeling about this match, I am not too disappointed. By the time we play them again we should have a stronger squad with the incoming players.
Next league match is Brentford so we will be fresh for that one, against a team we are fighting for automatics with. |  |
