When Rovers came up in 1992 after 26 years in lower leagues what amazed me was how much all the other clubs really hated not just Man U but especially their fans. It was like they did not belong in the football family and you could not share a pint with them. But I am not Amazed anymore - TOTAL SC*M.
And Dingles should remember what they did to you after Munich - give us all your best players or else little club - With Mclroy unsettled they started the decline from which you have never recovered. It's about the only thing rovers fans have to thank Manky Utd for! COME ON BARCA - MESSI, DECO, ETO, RONALDHINO, HENRY - yeah they have no chance!!

I find it so funny that people refer to the teams that they follow as 'us' and 'we'.
The people on the pitch & in the boardroom don't care for the fans, the players kiss the badge one day then move on in a breath...

It's astounding how empowered United fans feel just coz there's a lot of em 'stood outside a pub'.
I remember when Man Utd were a club who simply made the numbers up in the top division. 11th in 1988-89 season, 13th in 1989-90 season.
No 76,000 crowds in those days. You used to get home gates smaller than ours, and Blackburn has a population of just over 100,000. What's Manchester...? 3 mill? Split with City - 25,000 out 1.5 million people is pretty **** and that's what yous used to get in the 80's. So if there's any plastic mancs still reading this, yes you are a load of sad act glory hunters, who get forced into buying tickets for matches they can't attend by a club that doesn't give a shiney sh!te about them.

Rovers scrapped very well although they succeeded dragging us down to thier standard. In saying that if the pitch was not in such bad condition i think we would have won by 3 or 4 goals. That why Rovers and Wigan are very simalar clubs in terms of size and stature. The chances we missed was down to decent keeping and poor surface. We have little mid week game against a team called Barcalona, you Rovers fans enjoy your season now in the shadows of villa and sh!tty. we may bring our trophies to you t end of the season to show you what silverware looks like. Little club who's fans came crawling to watch the mighty reds. Cant wait to see what your gate is against Derby.

Sure, the Reds are the "big city" club and we (Rovers) will always be "townies" - but for the most part we're "born" Roverites; we didn't just take a fancy to the team-on-the-box when we were 10, or 15, or 40 years old. And just listen to yourselves, a decade after our year of glory. Its still killing you that we had the temerity to be "upstart" Champions. Get over it, pseudo-Mancunians. If you think we "bought" our success and you didn't, then you ain't Champs - you're just chumps!

Answer) empty heads.
Many of us thought the Dingles had arrived with the poor behaviour on display that'the Gallaghers' from Manchester were showing ****, talking rubbish acting with complete abandonment.
It must be great to support a highly successful club that wins many trophies year on in but the behaviour of the Manchester crowd doesnt match the maturity their team showed on the pitch.
The Manchester male seems a small minded prat with a massive chip on his shoulder, pity he cant take a leaf out of his merseyside rivals and show a little bit more wit, humour and respect to his opponenets instead of showing this disrespectful shameful behaviour.
Standards off the pitch, come Manu fans you've got to do alot better than what you showed on saturday.... you empty heads.

Gotta give Man U their due, on their day they are a match for any team in Europe. Saturday obviously wasn't their day. They were lucky to scrape a point against a below par Rovers side. Man U supporters are a disgrace. 21st century team with a 1970s fan base. The borough of Blackburn can't be such an inbred place as you mancs suggest. Most of you enjoyed 6 hours of our hospitality prior to the match. Why? It can't be that bad here! Such a good football team tarnished by ar5eholes that are old enough to know better. On a purely football based point, I would like to see Utd go on to win the Premier League and Liverpool win the Champions League. Keep it all in the North West! Next year please feel free to enjoy our hospitality again, only grow up and behave youselves when you do!

Chris from Blackburn makes some great points - unfortunately Man United fans are probably the least notorious in the land for giving anyone credit about anything. I willingly congratulate my United supporting friends on every title they amass but whenever discussion stretches back to Rovers win in 1995, they just can't accept the better team won. 'We lost it'. 'Jammy'. 'Bought the title' (this one being the most ridiculous'). As for that last comment from Frank, clearly not a Rovers fan - whatever you think of Rovers fans, we're not even remotely that way inclined.

Just to add to the mix. Did anyone hear Alan Green on Rdaion 5? I did and I thought I had tuned into Manc FM such was the bias.

Yes it was diabolical refereeing but against Rovers?1 And as for the penalties put your industrial strength glasses back on McGoo and look again.You really are a bunch of whingers.He plays on the left, he plays on the ri-i-ight but that boy Ronaldo he plays like he's sh++te!

For all you mouthing Reds fans - Gary Lineker summed things up perfectly on MOTD -last eight trips to Ewood - only one win for Utd - give Sir Alex Mark Hughes's budget for players (approx £3 million) and see how many Ronaldos and Rooneys he could come up with from that amount. You've bought the title time and time again just like Chelsea. Before you start on our championship win - Utd. spent more that season than Rovers but could not deliver.

Its quite sad to see all the bitter and twisted comments on here from both sides. From watching football at Ewood Park over the past 25 years I believe that in the ground their supporters are the best around. The way they back their team and their array of songs is unrivalled. Sadly however, there behaviour outside the ground over the past couple of years has been a disgrace, especially from some of their younger element. As for Rovers it is just an achievement for us to be competing at this level with our limited budget. We should just be proud of the fact we can pull in crowds of 30k with a population of 100k, and also that we are the most successful town Football club this country has ever seen, so give us some credit eh......

Rovers scrapped very well although they succeeded dragging us down to thier standard.
In saying that if the pitch was not in such bad condition i think we would have won by 3 or 4 goals.
That why Rovers and Wigan are very simalar clubs in terms of size and stature.
The chances we missed was down to decent keeping and poor surface.
We have little mid week game against a team called Barcalona, you Rovers fans enjoy your season now in the shadows of villa and sh!tty.
we may bring our trophies to you t end of the season to show you what silverware looks like.
Little club who's fans came crawling to watch the mighty reds.
Cant wait to see what your gate is against Derby.

i was sat in riverside they were quite a few fans jumped up when united scored, they fully derserved there equaliser, anyway our fans need to get behind the team more at home, we was outsung for 90 minutes by a team who was losing whats going on there, next year we need to start getting behind the boys more and drive them on to a top 6 finish . well played freeds in goal and also warnock and santa you were outstanding.

A yank owning an english club is nothing short of a disgrace.
Having your home end taken over by supporters of a yank owned club is nothing short of a disgrace.

What a Man Utd fan cant deal with is simply being matched by overwhelming odds.
Tactically MH had the making of Utd. Taking the lead made Utd come out & boy were they found wanting for a good 65 mins.
What was it couldn't get up for the game with some wimsical excuse that you were playing BRFC who from the snobbery that filters through from Utd fans tells me your **** your pants at the business end of the season again.
You may go on to win the Prem but the holy grail still eludes you. Why?
Because you underestimate your opponents at crucial times. Have a look at your imediate fix's before your eventual ilimination from champs league in previous seasons ?
You were f**cked up yesterday by a team worth a fraction of the cost but your such f88ckin snobs that you want to p**s off & play football against teams that are of equal $'s value thus putting paid to the original football supporter who watches football for all it's drama.
Glory at what expense? You can have your fantasy football in dreamland LA but dont come giving it your the big I AM football supporter when we BRFC can still stand toe to toe with you lot anyday.
Count your selves lucky you got a point...

Blackburn is the most inbred place i have ever been. Totally out of touch with anything remotely 19 century nevermind 21 century. Small inbred town in Burnley.
Unless you are from a village called Salford in Surrey!

Well. Nice lot, you MU supporters. Why are you being so nasty and arrogant? In truth, you got lucky yesterday. In truth, Rooney got lucky for not getting sent off, studs up challenge on Samba (pic on Rovers' Official website for those who missed it) - in return for not getting a penalty for his dive (Ha!). Possible missed penalty for us after your goalkeeper (forget his name) upended Roberts when he was clean in on goal; oh, and Tevez should not even have been on to score after two nasty fouls on a Rovers player. Feel honoured that you came to our historic ground that has the best pro rata attendance in the league given the size of the population in Blackburn and we even have some southern fans that somehow did not jump on the United band-wagon. No need to boast about your team, yes they are the best in the country (on their day) now remind me, how much did they cost? Anyway, I enjoyed the match, hope you did too.

Ha ha got to laugh at the \'glory boy\' comments from the farmer boy. This coming from a club who\'s average attendance in 1991 was 8,000 yeah thats right eight thousand and then just 4 years later when they won the title they were pulling 25,000. Know your own clubs history farmer boy before you start throwing stones. Inbred
I didn't know that there was an area of Essex called Miles platting.

Blackburn Rovers are the best! Didn't they do well?!! They held off the reds with left and right feet. The booting was beautiful. Friedel is fabulous: a master of handwork.
