Blackburn Rovers fans pelt club owners Venky's with snowballs (From Lancashire Telegraph)

They should thank their lucky stars, that they didn't buy a football club in Colombia. Snowballs would be the least of their worries.

How is a snowball being thrown newsworthy? Come on LET, get a grip.

They can now be in no doubt of the contempt in which they are held.

hasslem hasslem is reported to be "shocked and upset" by several venkys incidents.

not saying the snowball incident was clever - but there has been people on here saying "what if there was a stone in the snowball?....what if it was a bottle etc?" WELL IT WASN'T

unpopular politicians, members of the royal family and unpopular figureheads have had rotten veg, tomatoes and eggs chucked at them for centuries - why should these unpopular figures who are quickly ruining our club be any different?

they have no interest in our (not their) club, they have never responded to any correspondence to them (be it favourable or unfavourable) - they treat the club with contempt and their history with brfc is dogged with quite appalling decision making and a lack of vision.

we keep hearing from the rotating door of managers the our owners are "very very ambitious" - well i am sorry but the only ambition i see from these clowns is their ambition to get into the guinness book of world records in their attempt at a record breaking time to get a football club into administration.

blackburn rovers may well be a museum piece by the time these clowns have finished with it.

never mind snowballs i reckon they should be forced to wear sackcloth and ashes, stocks installed by jack walker's statue and for them to locked in for a day and not be pelted with rotten veg - but forced to listen to rovers supporters views on what a good job they are doing for our (not their) once beloved, proud club

behavior.
Forget coronation St kids, this is where the dramas at...

Rovers Fans pelt owners with snowballs...wat a load of tosh 1 snowball one good shot...you media numpties dont half exagerate things to try sell yur paper lol

Do we actually care what mark fish says or thinks??? He is as deluded as the venkys

I can understand fans leaving 5 minutes early to beat the rush but Venky's 65 minutes is disgraceful. They are obviously not football fans of any kind. They turned up to try to bolster support in a publicity stunt and it it backfired on them. Sell up and walk away you are killing this club.

You must be joking, Showbiz, its all over the national, news and the internet!, ,

I think they'll start splashing the cash after that little performance don't you?

More likely reinstate Kean on £2.5m a year and take you into administration.

Classy though to call them "scum" and "wa@nker" and tell them to "f*uck off" in front of the daughter though. I expect 14 year old Indian girls are used to that sort of language.

PS - great shot with the snowball though.

Rovers' managing director Derek Shaw said: “There were some scenes we could all do without when the owners have come to visit. It’s very disappointing this has happened.”

What does Shaw expect?? Even he cant be as naive as he appears - why sould people change their views just beacuse the owners decide to make a fleeting visit. They (Venkys and the PNE duo) all need to learn that respect is earned and not a right - arriving 10 minutes before KO in a fleet of expensive cars and only seeing 2/3 of the game is not a good way to for the owners who are looking to regain the fans trust to begin.

Nothing will change until Venkys and the PNE duo depart in my opinion.

I am fairly sure shaw and agnew would be in the snow ball firing line too if the oppurtunity arose!

Is Mark Fish speaking on behalf of himself, BRAG committee or BRAG members?? Significant that he did not think it appropriate to condemn the incident. Does this show BRAG in its true light??

Come on, it was a cracking shot. Deserves to be on News at 10 with Trevor McDonald.

And these goons employed a PR firm only last week to try to improve their image with the fans.

Just exactly who advised them to leave after 65 minutes? You couldn't write this sh@t!

And yes - good shot with the snowball. Fully deserved, however I doubt they'll wake up and smell the coffee now.

Yeah after ruining thousands of people's Saturday, ruined a towns image and ruined the history of a massive organisation, you don't deserve a little snowball to the face. Totally uncalled for, we should have applauded them for gracing us with thier prescence.

The appointment of Appleton is the final insult and it's going to get ugly again at Ewood Park.

I think this is pathetic mindless thugs who did this, the language they threw at these people was disgusting, and me like many others will not be attending games at the ground they are scum and should not be allowed to live in Blackburn let alone attend games a total disgrace to the townsfokle of the borough, by all means protest but that was vile.

Poor jack will be turning in his grave,still no excuse for fans to show there true colours, very disgusting behaviour

So you condone this type of behaviour , well if you do you also should be ashamed of yourself , or go live in Burnley where it is accepted,

But there are Man Utd fans, Liverpool fans, City fans and even Chelsea fans who live in Blackburn!!! There even allowed to que in the same que as Blackburn fans in Tescos!

You wouldnt see me living in another town, its traitorism in its purest form.

This shouldnt be allowed!

What next, owners not from Blackburn?

How can you stick up for the Venkys?

Would you go to a place you own, but in which you are held in utter contempt? As an earlier poster stated, some scenes and actions are best done without, even if the frustration is understandable.

Turning up in Rolls Royces in an area deprived of work and economy was most certainly an act of gall...what the hell has happend to Blackburn? It used to be a town with an economy and a bulging nightlife not too long ago, now there's very little work, and absolutely no nightlife...it's a ghost town Saturday night! It has a joke of a shopping centre that would fit in the corner of one of Manchester's numerous arcades. Whatever group of people run this town, need to get their fingers out and put some business and nightlife back into it!

Yep! It runs parallel to the way Venkys have run Ewood Park, caring little for the football tradition of townspeople supporting their local club, going back a century or more. They simply haven't a clue or a business care at all for the people that put money in Venky's coffers, so that they can arrive and depart disrespectfully in their Rolls.

They are not football fans, that is clear. They have bought into the club as a business enterprise that is backfiring on them, a culture shock against English grassroots footballing support, and it requires them to fully participate with passion and investment, or sell up and move on, putting it down to a bad experience of their making.

Meanwhile, the heart of the club - the fans - are anxious and frustrated, seeing no avenue to believe in hope or the 'turning of a corner' in their club's fortunes, on or off the field. As a Burnley fan, knowing only too well the ups and downs of fortune and oft' misplaced hopes in supporting the Clarets, to see Rovers being dealt with so ignominiously by its current owners really is a putrid deal.

Be under no illusion, Venkys know exactly what the supporters think of them, it may be a while before they visit again, and some of their investment in the club may be re-channelled to other business interests, just to make a point, because their egos may be smarting from what happend on Saturday?

Some fans need to be careful about what they wish for, they may get it, and it may not be to their liking!

No proper fan would ever leave a match early!!

Why do people need to beat the traffic? To go shopping with the wife?

You should be in the Aquaduct straight after the match downing 15 pints!

Throwing the snowball was no more than high jinks, which I personally find amusing.

Get a grip FFS - after all they've done to ruin the club, you call yourself a supporter?

Exactly, a baying mass of boot boys, screaming and spitting venom at venkys little girl as they got out of the car. What a total shambles, the organisers of the protest should be charged if they cant control their angry boot boy mob of Baboons.
Embarrssed to be a Rovers fan, how utterly classless and to compound their stupidity, they made a video of the incident and posted it worldwide. Like they are proud of it, what a bunch of lunatics.
You don't represent me and you never will.

I take it you havent seen the video of the incident then? when a baying mob of hooligans frightens women and children with over the top disgusting language and venom spitting anger?
Whoever organised this wants prosecuting for public order offences.
Then I'd be delighted with that outcome.

Must be talking about the players performance.

These Tesco horse burger jokes are starting to become lame.

I have seen it and whilst I don't condone the language, there were perhaps 4 or 5 idiots who were shouting obscenities.

I went into the ground and chose not to protest, but at the end of the day, do we not have a right to protest and show the owners that we are unhappy with what they have done to our club? Remember last season when stewards were frisking people to ensure they weren't taking banners into the ground?

If the PR company had any sense, they'd have had Venkys in the ground a couple of hours before and after K.O.

And I still find the snowball amusing.

I said to my wife, "Why did the chicken cross the road?"

She said, "I don't know."

I said, "To get to the stupid **** house."

She said, "I don't get it."

I said, "Okay then. Knock knock."

She said, "Who's there?"

I said, "The chicken!"

I pulled up at the mechanics today.

"I don't know what's going on, but she's making some very strange noises" I explained.

"Sir, it appears your wife is having a heart attack".

A spokesman from Tesco has stated that they have been using the same meat supplier for a long time.

It looks like it's been going on for donkey's years.

Tesco are giving treble points on your Clubcard for all burgers and petrol, starting Monday.

The deal is called Only Fuel and Horses.

The vast majority of Rovers supporters are unhappy to say the least. Most of them will suffer in silence, but there is always a small minority who verbalise their anger, and even fewer who will resort to such things as snowball throwing.
There were over 13,000 at the match. If only one per cent fall into that last category, then that is 130 vociferous lads. Enough to create the situation that occurred.. Considering what has been done to our club by the Venky family in the last two years, it could have been a lot worse.

As ever if just gives the National Press the opportunity to slate Rovers fans as the BBC Football Show indicated on Saturday night.

What does it achieve? well who in the right mind would want to invest in Blackburn Rovers with fans as vitriolic as they are - yes everyone knows what a shambles it has become and maybe people felt better for voicing their grievances but it wont cahnge a thing. If anything Venkys are more likely to let Rovers drift than invest heavily for a few unsympathetic fans who seem to think the world owes the club greatness

GHet real we are where we are in the Championship mid table looking down - just lets hope Venkys dont take it out on the fans by withholding funds for Appleton to spend in the transfer market or it could be Crewe and Carlisle next season and some would say tht is all the fans deserve!

Organisers? what organisers, from what i gather it was just a number of individual supporters who turned up at the ground, of their own free will and personal choice, prior to their arrival? who organised it? Who should have been "controlling" these supporters? and who is it who doesn't represent you, individual supporters?

The fans are hurtying to right but throwing snowballs at them sends a wrong messages here.

Our fans are starting doing things and we are not know to this but awful what happened.

But Venkys do need to get their head sorted out quickly and fans want them to sell up but there saying their are here for the long term.

Venkys hope you got the message clear don't put a foot in UK if you cant show any fans any respect.

Although I can't condone the language or throwing things at people ( and for anyone who's been hit in the head with a snowball from distance its not funny) I can understand the frustration from certain sectors who feel they are not being listened too, however we are not alone in having owners who don't overly consult the fan base, take a look at Chelsea, arsenal, man utd sect, it is a sign of the modern game that the on the terrace fan base has less relevance to owners and why? Its all in the sums take a premiership crowd of 23,000 at Blackburn, average ticket price of £22.50( 30 per adult 15 per kid 50/50 split) everyone buys a pie and a pint at £5.50 and that £28 per person, gate spend per game £644,000 per game and £12,236,000 per season, the lowest TV deal this season is £60 million ,gate receipts at a club like ours represent 12-15% of income in the premiership, the point is you can have your say but don't be so shocked when you are ignored fans stopped being the biggest relevance at clubs when sky jumped in. And yes they are in it for the money as are the majority of owners in the top tiers, even cities owners admit they bought it to put their country on the global map.

To be fair it was best to use a snowball, It's awful tricky to get a direct hit with a chicken.

I was telephoned yesterday morning asking for my thoughts "on how the protest went". I stated it was not a protest as such, and was more of a spontaneous show of displeasure from supporters who have suffered enough and this was always going to happen when Venkys finally revisited Ewood Park (or words to similar) I then went on to state that as i was not present at the ground at that point and neither were any BRFC Action Group committee members and i had only heard second hand reports of the incident i would prefer not to comment on it either personally or on behalf of the group.

Ha! Come over here with your fleet of flashy rollers when you've spent nothing on the club you bought to invest in....Ha! For the fans that find it increasingly difficult to find the money to come and watch their team.....oh and venkys in the words of apoo from the simpsons "thank you! Come again"

They " B R A G" and co ie glen mullen, mark fish have become big time charlies that are out of their depth. Venkys love them or loathe them have spent on the club more than any other in this league.And i believe were wrongly advised when they bought the club.
Appleton said he wants to buy new players,can't see this happening now after these morans shouting abuse at women and children.It was shameful.

Personally? There is throwing snowballs in jest as a bit of fun with your friends, then there is throwing a snowball at someone in malice, or for other reasons, and this instance falls under that category, and ultimately can be classed as a criminal offence, now do i condone a criminal offence? of course I don't, the supporters of Blackburn Rovers are the victims in the last 26 months and it's incidents such as this which will unfortunately wrongly portray the owners as the victims.

Neither Glen Mullan, or myself where anywhere near the incident, let alone shouting abuse at women and children.

Well said;

Although I raised the issue of "What if it had been something more serious than a snowball, a rock or a bottle perhaps?" on another post, I have to ask the question of those defending the snowball;

Would a rock or a bottle still have been acceptable to some of the posters on here?

On the other side of the coin the verbal abuse was something else, it's one thing protesting and showing Venky's what you feel in a civilised manner, it's another using language that demeans every single Blackburn Rovers fan.

Language I might add that was directed at women and children as well.

What a pity BRSIT and BRAG haven't stepped up to the plate and condemned it, Mark Fish's comments basically supported the actions of these morons.

What a golden opportunity has been missed.

But hey guys, you told them like it is.

At least that snowball had a chance in hell..........

In all honesty, lets get these Indian pretenders out the way and resume battle as two solid north west clubs.

I know Rovers fans are victims and I wouldn't expect you to say that you condone criminal actions. However, simple question that you seem to be avoiding - do you and/or BRAG condone the throwing of snowballs and the general hostile action on Saturday?

Well said;

Although I raised the issue of "What if it had been something more serious than a snowball, a rock or a bottle perhaps?" on another post, I have to ask the question of those defending the snowball;

Would a rock or a bottle still have been acceptable to some of the posters on here?

On the other side of the coin the verbal abuse was something else, it's one thing protesting and showing Venky's what you feel in a civilised manner, it's another using language that demeans every single Blackburn Rovers fan.

Language I might add that was directed at women and children as well.

What a pity BRSIT and BRAG haven't stepped up to the plate and condemned it, Mark Fish's comments basically supported the actions of these morons.

What a golden opportunity has been missed.

But hey guys, you told them like it is.

Mark has in no way condoned anything. He has clearly stated that
"I was telephoned yesterday morning asking for my thoughts "on how the protest went". I stated it was not a protest as such, and was more of a spontaneous show of displeasure from supporters who have suffered enough and this was always going to happen when Venkys finally revisited Ewood Park (or words to similar) I then went on to state that as i was not present at the ground at that point and neither were any BRFC Action Group committee members and i had only heard second hand reports of the incident I would prefer not to comment on it either personally or on behalf of the group"
It has previously been acknowledged by both the club and Police, that any protests the Action Group organised passed off without incident.
This I believe was not an organised protest, certainly not by the Action Group.

I was telephoned yesterday morning asking for my thoughts "on how the protest went". I stated it was not a protest as such, and was more of a spontaneous show of displeasure from supporters who have suffered enough and this was always going to happen when Venkys finally revisited Ewood Park (or words to similar) I then went on to state that as i was not present at the ground at that point and neither were any BRFC Action Group committee members and i had only heard second hand reports of the incident i would prefer not to comment on it either personally or on behalf of the group.

So do you and/or the Group condemn or condone the snowballing incident?

Personally? There is throwing snowballs in jest as a bit of fun with your friends, then there is throwing a snowball at someone in malice, or for other reasons, and this instance falls under that category, and ultimately can be classed as a criminal offence, now do i condone a criminal offence? of course I don't, the supporters of Blackburn Rovers are the victims in the last 26 months and it's incidents such as this which will unfortunately wrongly portray the owners as the victims.

I know Rovers fans are victims and I wouldn't expect you to say that you condone criminal actions. However, simple question that you seem to be avoiding - do you and/or BRAG condone the throwing of snowballs and the general hostile action on Saturday?

The throwing of the snowball is something which we (the supporters) could have done without in my opinion, however i will not condemn the supporters (language aside) who welcomed the owners with a 'hostile reception' because their actions over the last 2 years, means they deserved every jeer and boo they received.

What a disappointing mess the whole day turned out to be, just more of the same old crap, oh yes I want to say a warm thanks to Gary Bowyer his wins, uncomplicated strategy, his passion on the touchline and on the TV for our football club will be remembered by me and others as a rare shining star in an otherwise very forgettable gloomy season, arte et labore shame we couldn't clone him as Chairman, owner, manager and player, Bowyers blue and white army Bowyers blue and white army

Have the Spurs fans been pilloried, for the heinous crime of throwing snowballs at Patrice Evera, when he was taking a corner? NO!
It's a SNOWBALL FFS, get a grip! As for the 'colourful language', well knock me down with a feather! Foul and abusive language has been heard on football grounds, by fans AND players, since the year dot!

If I didn't want my 14 year old daughter to hear foul language, I wouldn't take her to a football match. I also wouldn't let her go to school. I also wouldn't let her go out with her friends. I also wouldn't let her watch certain films. I also.........Oh I give up!

Rovers, Rovers, RA Ra Ra!

Jolly good try Jordan, better luck next time old bean.

I say referee, that was a rather contentious decision, you need to go to Specsavers old boy!

It's incidents like this that need the voice of wisdom and reason, Shebby Sing,.Global Advisor, MOTMAST

Sheggy where are you when your club needs you (and I'm not talking about Spuds)

It wasn't you in disguise throwing the snowball was it?

Oh and while you are answering questions, I watched a tv interview last night from a while back with glen mullan stating that the thousands of fans staying away would return when Steve Kean was removed. Did you forget to tell them as they still appear to be missing.

So the conclusion to this story is that Mrs D and Shebby, while being profesionally close, dont partake in Snowballing together!

Well, not at weekends anyhow.....

Forget the snowball, if it had been anywhere else to other people it would be seen as a prank. I'm more interested in the resurgence of comments from BRAG representatives over the last couple of weeks.

Looking at a pattern
1.BRAG mouthing off
2. Shebby arrives and bullsh1ts,
3. BRAG quiet
4. Shaw\Agnew run off to Pune
5. Shebby disappears
6. BRAG mouthing off again

Does BRAG still have the office at Ewood?

It's a pitty they weren't frozen chickens they were throwing.

Venkys deserve what they get, they sacked the best manager we had with big Sam, don't get me wrong the new manager may be ok, I don't no, but the team it self need to shape up if they want to get back into the premiership .

I can remember when rovers were brill lets get that back, lets get points back on the table.
Snow balling is for kids not adults, Venkys need to sell rovers thats what we all want, they have no idea on football.

BRAG are Venky's in disguise at best, Burnley fans at worst, or should that be the other way around.

From the "fans" (sic) who sell themselves as the voice of all Blackburn Rovers fans. lol; lol; lol.

Not a chance.

what a shambles these BRAG people are.
i think it,s time to suspend all protests NOW
AND GET BEHIND the players
support them for the rest of the season
a positive atmosphere will do the team a power of good
and kill off all the negative backlash in the media

So you condone this type of behaviour , well if you do you also should be ashamed of yourself , or go live in Burnley where it is accepted,

Don't tar Burnley fans with your pathetic, vile and wholly unacceptable behaviour.

Burnley Football Club fans have never stooped to the low life levels of so called supporters of your pathetic club.

“Once Proud” where does that SH*T come from, the only reason you ever got into the Premier league was because Jack (More money than sense) Walker bought it for you.

Lets look at the facts, without your current owners money to prop the club up, your losses of around £20M per year has no other outcome other than administration.

Even better is the fact that your collective brain cell still hasn’t worked out that all this bile and constant abuse because the money has dried up or results are not going your way or the owners are not at your every beck and call has probably put off any decent manager or owner for that matter ever wanting to get involved in your pathetic little excuse for a football club.

I hope Venky’s do walk away and leave you in the hands of BRAG, I’m sure they will be able to have a whip round and raise the £1.00 it’s probably worth by now, a fire sale of players and certain administration would soon follow.

I have immense pleasure week in week out reading about the continuing demise of all things BR, as they say, he who laughs last.

grow up you soft git.

1) women and children - so what? the woman who has systematically launched a wrecking ball at ewood park is "upset" about a bl00dy snowball......forgiv
e my crocodile tears

2) women and children - so what? anybody with an ounce of sensitivity would not have arrived before kick-off in an armada of rolls-royces in a FU! gesture....a PR disaster

3) women and children - so what? if the beloved venkys had the merest scintilla of common sense they would have known that arriving just before kick off would be likely to encourage a negative reception from supporters who have had sand kicked in their faces for the last two years - to be honest, i am a little surprised they didn't get a more hostile greeting

4) women and children - so what? well boo hoo! a little industrial language. i have worked in all manner of environments from the shop floor to the board room and there was nothing unusual in the language on saturday....you will hear it in school playgrounds, sports fixtures (both spectators and players), any budsiness, pubs clubs, golf clubs - don't come the more holy than thou tosh. they must have known what they were in for...if they choose to bring a kid - then tough. what do you expect the disaffected to do when they see a kid - "oh gosh, a young child....forseuth we must restrain from using the medieval language of shakespeare and chaucer - grow up. if you want to live in a monastery...off you go.

FYI - I have nothing to do with BRAG, nor have i ever protested against the clowns in charge (save for the wigan game last season when i joined in the "kean out, venkys out" chanting throughout the ground. i just happen to think that if you think saturday was out of order then you have been living in a very antiseptic environment....for christ's sake in india they would be burning effigies.

This club was sold to Venkys of Pune India by Robert Coar and the Walkers with a debt of £25 million.There were no other buyer for a small club in a town in East Lancashire.
If a snow ball was thrown at the British Queen visiting India by Indians and tell her to go back where she came from there would have been condemnation from British Government and British people.These were morons throwing snow balls and chanting Venkys out.
This family are Billionaires in India they came in their Rolls Royce ,a family who for four decades built their business in India,USA,Spain and Brazil.It's up to them to invest some of their vast wealth into BRFC .These protestors have no rights to tell them what to do at BRFC.They have a Boardrooms of right people running the club and a Football Manager to look after the players .If they want to vent their angers the the people in the boardroom and football players needs to share some blames for BRFC worst league position in the Championship.The Venkys live in Pune India some 5,000 miles away who knows nothing about football in UK.The men in charge at the boardroom at BRFC are the guys needs to take blames.

Bob, as a Rovers fan for more than 40 years I finally find myself agreeing with a Burnley fan, I never, ever thought I would see the day.

What happened on Saturday was the culmination of nearly 2 years of systemic hatred built up simply because Venky's sacked Lardarse, and Mullen's mob had no-one left to tell them to bend over and pay homage to the mighty long ball.

The hatred and bile generated by these so called "fans" cost us our PL status just as much as Venky's incompetence, and for what?

Lardarse walked away with a big fat cheque, Mullen and Fish became the Presses "easy quote" targets having their 15 minutes of fame, (unfortunately it's ground hog day and we can't escape them, ever) and can't wait for the autobiographies to come out.

The eventual affect of Saturday? we don't know, but no-one can tell me that Mullen and Fish haven't seen and heard what went on, and if they had a gram of decency about them they would condemn it.

In fact they all but condone it.

Unlike you though I don't take any pleasure in what has happened to my club, I honestly wouldn't wish it one any club, any fan, not even Burnley. I sincerely hope you don't have a BRAG waiting in the wings if things go wrong.

You are right Bob,if Venkys walk away now BRFC would go back before Walker's era no money,14,000 crowds and mounting losses of money even the administrator would fail to find a buyer.Look at Leeds,Rangers and pourtmouth, Blackburn Rovers would end up same way.Count your blessing Venkys a billionaires have now bailed this club out.If a snow ball was thrown at me and called my names i would walk away right now with this sort of insult thrown at me.

the way the jibbs are laying i'm surprising they hit anyone .

1) women and children - so what? the woman who has systematically launched a wrecking ball at ewood park is "upset" about a bl00dy snowball......forgiv

e my crocodile tears

2) women and children - so what? anybody with an ounce of sensitivity would not have arrived before kick-off in an armada of rolls-royces in a FU! gesture....a PR disaster

3) women and children - so what? if the beloved venkys had the merest scintilla of common sense they would have known that arriving just before kick off would be likely to encourage a negative reception from supporters who have had sand kicked in their faces for the last two years - to be honest, i am a little surprised they didn't get a more hostile greeting

4) women and children - so what? well boo hoo! a little industrial language. i have worked in all manner of environments from the shop floor to the board room and there was nothing unusual in the language on saturday....you will hear it in school playgrounds, sports fixtures (both spectators and players), any budsiness, pubs clubs, golf clubs - don't come the more holy than thou tosh. they must have known what they were in for...if they choose to bring a kid - then tough. what do you expect the disaffected to do when they see a kid - "oh gosh, a young child....forseuth we must restrain from using the medieval language of shakespeare and chaucer - grow up. if you want to live in a monastery...off you go.

FYI - I have nothing to do with BRAG, nor have i ever protested against the clowns in charge (save for the wigan game last season when i joined in the "kean out, venkys out" chanting throughout the ground. i just happen to think that if you think saturday was out of order then you have been living in a very antiseptic environment....for christ's sake in india they would be burning effigies.

Maybe fine from where you come from gutter boy, but don't try bringing me down to your knuckle dragging level. I'm way above you and your ilk.
You obviously enjoy bullying women and children.
This club made great inroads into bringing families to the ground and banishing the boot boy culture only to have it all dismantled by people like yourself. how can someone enjoy taking little kids to watch mob rule mentality
If you think its fine to behave like lunatics in front of women and kids then I can see why we have issues in society as a whole.
Blame the parents they say, I hope you haven't bred yet.

And yes - good shot with the snowball. Fully deserved, however I doubt they'll wake up and smell the coffee now.

So you condone this type of behaviour , well if you do you also should be ashamed of yourself , or go live in Burnley where it is accepted,

Don't tar Burnley fans with your pathetic, vile and wholly unacceptable behaviour.

Burnley Football Club fans have never stooped to the low life levels of so called supporters of your pathetic club.

“Once Proud” where does that SH*T come from, the only reason you ever got into the Premier league was because Jack (More money than sense) Walker bought it for you.

Lets look at the facts, without your current owners money to prop the club up, your losses of around £20M per year has no other outcome other than administration.

Even better is the fact that your collective brain cell still hasn’t worked out that all this bile and constant abuse because the money has dried up or results are not going your way or the owners are not at your every beck and call has probably put off any decent manager or owner for that matter ever wanting to get involved in your pathetic little excuse for a football club.

I hope Venky’s do walk away and leave you in the hands of BRAG, I’m sure they will be able to have a whip round and raise the £1.00 it’s probably worth by now, a fire sale of players and certain administration would soon follow.

I have immense pleasure week in week out reading about the continuing demise of all things BR, as they say, he who laughs last.

You are right Bob,if Venkys walk away now BRFC would go back before Walker's era no money,14,000 crowds and mounting losses of money even the administrator would fail to find a buyer.Look at Leeds,Rangers and pourtmouth, Blackburn Rovers would end up same way.Count your blessing Venkys a billionaires have now bailed this club out.If a snow ball was thrown at me and called my names i would walk away right now with this sort of insult thrown at me.

Venky's bailed this club out????? WTF!!! At this moment in time, BRFC is a DISASTER AREA, and your beloved Venky's are the CAUSE of it. As I said in the first post on this article, this morning. They ought to consider themselves fortunate, that they didn't 'invest' in a football club in Colombia, because it wouldn't be snowballs being chucked at them!

BRFC: Made in Blackburn, by decent, honest, hardworking and honourable people. Destroyed in India, by VERMIN!

Bob, as a Rovers fan for more than 40 years I finally find myself agreeing with a Burnley fan, I never, ever thought I would see the day.

What happened on Saturday was the culmination of nearly 2 years of systemic hatred built up simply because Venky's sacked Lardarse, and Mullen's mob had no-one left to tell them to bend over and pay homage to the mighty long ball.

The hatred and bile generated by these so called "fans" cost us our PL status just as much as Venky's incompetence, and for what?

Lardarse walked away with a big fat cheque, Mullen and Fish became the Presses "easy quote" targets having their 15 minutes of fame, (unfortunately it's ground hog day and we can't escape them, ever) and can't wait for the autobiographies to come out.

The eventual affect of Saturday? we don't know, but no-one can tell me that Mullen and Fish haven't seen and heard what went on, and if they had a gram of decency about them they would condemn it.

In fact they all but condone it.

Unlike you though I don't take any pleasure in what has happened to my club, I honestly wouldn't wish it one any club, any fan, not even Burnley. I sincerely hope you don't have a BRAG waiting in the wings if things go wrong.

Don't be a knob, Bob. "Burnley Football Club fans have never stooped to the low life levels of so called supporters of your pathetic club". Whose so called fans wrecked their OWN TOWN, after yet another mauling by their illustrious neighbours? Whose so called fans threatened to SET ON FIRE the wife of a former manager? Whose pathetic club has a 'firm' called the silly squad, whose so called leader got banged up for FIVE YEARS, for arranging an attack on a Rovers pub, then 'got lost' on the way?

Bob; before coming on here spouting your sanctimonious, self-righteous BILGE, I'd have a look a little closer to home.

First of all l resent the venkys motorcade arrival,do they not realise the town has high unemployment and that many familys are using food banks because they are struggling to put food on the table,many supporters are being squeezed out of the game, they just cant afford to go anymore, so as far as im concerned the venkys should be aware of our culteral differences and make a dignified entrance and in deed exit, they have torn the heart out of this club,and they need to realise that it is going to take a long time to put right,lets start with shaw and agnew hendry and singh and take appleton with you because l can see it coming for the 3rd time, another monster mistake,,its a shambles down at ewood and lm **** off like the majority of fans are, l have never known it this bad,,,,l might take up knitting,

They are a waste of feckin' time they don't know their head from their **** when it comes to football they probably only bought the team because Blackburn is mostly asian they probably thought they all go to see Rovers!!!
The snowballs should have had stones hidden in them.

Interesting that Mark1875 (Fish) avoids the issue and didn't comment on BRAG not condemning the incident - says it all really

I was telephoned yesterday morning asking for my thoughts "on how the protest went". I stated it was not a protest as such, and was more of a spontaneous show of displeasure from supporters who have suffered enough and this was always going to happen when Venkys finally revisited Ewood Park (or words to similar) I then went on to state that as i was not present at the ground at that point and neither were any BRFC Action Group committee members and i had only heard second hand reports of the incident i would prefer not to comment on it either personally or on behalf of the group.

So you don't condone it, but you don't condem it either, Nice quick step their. So you don't want to come down on either side of the fence. Well I do.

on sunday you were referring to protesters as nazis - are you aware of how incendiary your comments are.

where was any bullying of women and children - "venkys out" "you don't know what you're doing" etc etc! these are the legitmate concerns of many who have been treated by the venky family as if they are in the untouchable caste back at home.

if these incompetent fools choose to constantly and totally ignore any correspondence from MPs, council, representative groups, ordinary fans then i am afraid that they get a reception the like of what happened on saturday

how on earth can you call me "knuckle dragging" when you refer to "nazis" i am afraid that. what gives you any sense of ill-placed moral authority to judge what is right and wrong "i am way above you and your ilk" - you have no clue about the club, the town and the hurt that others are feeling.

mob rule mentality - my backside!

what is this tosh about women and children - who outside the directors box knew the clowns were stupidly bringing a kid. and what is your beef about desai getting some clog - i recognise that we live in an egalitarian society where men and women should be treated equally. this particularly applies in business and as desai is the head of this particular serpent - then i am afraid to say - tough.

now go and spread you poisonous invective elsewhere - you are not welcome round here.

And take your Knitting needles with you.......

So let me get this straight... You boo the owners when they arrive and throw snowballs at them.

And then you criticse them for leaving the game early, saying they are being disrespectful?

You really have the most amazing arrogance and are the most fickle, ill-mannered, scummy set of fans that ever followed a football team - the entire footballing nation is realising what Burnley fans have known for ages - you are the worst supporters in the country.

Here's hoping you get everything you deserve.

My opinion of the whole incident is as valid as yours
The word Nazi was used as at the end of video one someone shouts effing ****, but if you also find that acceptable then please continue. Now maybe you didn't hear the comment or maybe when I viewed it its because I wear headphones, never the less it is still there, so wind yer neck back in and get off your high horse.
You think its not only okay to barrack women and kids, you now think its okay to condone racist remarks.
Well I hopr they prosecute each and every guilty person. We should bring back stocks and place them outside the ground because, as you think it is okay to have objects thrown at you, we can pepper the perptrators with rotten vegetables and it'll be your idea.

1) women and children - so what? the woman who has systematically launched a wrecking ball at ewood park is "upset" about a bl00dy snowball......forgiv



e my crocodile tears

2) women and children - so what? anybody with an ounce of sensitivity would not have arrived before kick-off in an armada of rolls-royces in a FU! gesture....a PR disaster

3) women and children - so what? if the beloved venkys had the merest scintilla of common sense they would have known that arriving just before kick off would be likely to encourage a negative reception from supporters who have had sand kicked in their faces for the last two years - to be honest, i am a little surprised they didn't get a more hostile greeting

4) women and children - so what? well boo hoo! a little industrial language. i have worked in all manner of environments from the shop floor to the board room and there was nothing unusual in the language on saturday....you will hear it in school playgrounds, sports fixtures (both spectators and players), any budsiness, pubs clubs, golf clubs - don't come the more holy than thou tosh. they must have known what they were in for...if they choose to bring a kid - then tough. what do you expect the disaffected to do when they see a kid - "oh gosh, a young child....forseuth we must restrain from using the medieval language of shakespeare and chaucer - grow up. if you want to live in a monastery...off you go.

FYI - I have nothing to do with BRAG, nor have i ever protested against the clowns in charge (save for the wigan game last season when i joined in the "kean out, venkys out" chanting throughout the ground. i just happen to think that if you think saturday was out of order then you have been living in a very antiseptic environment....for christ's sake in india they would be burning effigies.

Maybe fine from where you come from gutter boy, but don't try bringing me down to your knuckle dragging level. I'm way above you and your ilk.
You obviously enjoy bullying women and children.
This club made great inroads into bringing families to the ground and banishing the boot boy culture only to have it all dismantled by people like yourself. how can someone enjoy taking little kids to watch mob rule mentality
If you think its fine to behave like lunatics in front of women and kids then I can see why we have issues in society as a whole.
Blame the parents they say, I hope you haven't bred yet.

how dare you - you are the most obnoxious person ever to come on this site - and i have taken on a few.

on sunday you were referring to protesters as nazis - are you aware of how incendiary your comments are.

where was any bullying of women and children - "venkys out" "you don't know what you're doing" etc etc! these are the legitmate concerns of many who have been treated by the venky family as if they are in the untouchable caste back at home.

if these incompetent fools choose to constantly and totally ignore any correspondence from MPs, council, representative groups, ordinary fans then i am afraid that they get a reception the like of what happened on saturday

how on earth can you call me "knuckle dragging" when you refer to "nazis" i am afraid that. what gives you any sense of ill-placed moral authority to judge what is right and wrong "i am way above you and your ilk" - you have no clue about the club, the town and the hurt that others are feeling.

mob rule mentality - my backside!

what is this tosh about women and children - who outside the directors box knew the clowns were stupidly bringing a kid. and what is your beef about desai getting some clog - i recognise that we live in an egalitarian society where men and women should be treated equally. this particularly applies in business and as desai is the head of this particular serpent - then i am afraid to say - tough.

now go and spread you poisonous invective elsewhere - you are not welcome round here.

Sorry Hasslem, you write some reasonable stuff sometimes but do you know how arrogant you sound "you are not welcome round here".

He's welcome and entitled to post his opinion as anyone else last time I looked

And these goons employed a PR firm only last week to try to improve their image with the fans.

Just exactly who advised them to leave after 65 minutes? You couldn't write this sh@t!

And yes - good shot with the snowball. Fully deserved, however I doubt they'll wake up and smell the coffee now.

So you condone this type of behaviour , well if you do you also should be ashamed of yourself , or go live in Burnley where it is accepted,

Don't tar Burnley fans with your pathetic, vile and wholly unacceptable behaviour.

Burnley Football Club fans have never stooped to the low life levels of so called supporters of your pathetic club.

“Once Proud” where does that SH*T come from, the only reason you ever got into the Premier league was because Jack (More money than sense) Walker bought it for you.

Lets look at the facts, without your current owners money to prop the club up, your losses of around £20M per year has no other outcome other than administration.

Even better is the fact that your collective brain cell still hasn’t worked out that all this bile and constant abuse because the money has dried up or results are not going your way or the owners are not at your every beck and call has probably put off any decent manager or owner for that matter ever wanting to get involved in your pathetic little excuse for a football club.

I hope Venky’s do walk away and leave you in the hands of BRAG, I’m sure they will be able to have a whip round and raise the £1.00 it’s probably worth by now, a fire sale of players and certain administration would soon follow.

I have immense pleasure week in week out reading about the continuing demise of all things BR, as they say, he who laughs last.

You are right Bob,if Venkys walk away now BRFC would go back before Walker's era no money,14,000 crowds and mounting losses of money even the administrator would fail to find a buyer.Look at Leeds,Rangers and pourtmouth, Blackburn Rovers would end up same way.Count your blessing Venkys a billionaires have now bailed this club out.If a snow ball was thrown at me and called my names i would walk away right now with this sort of insult thrown at me.

Venky's bailed this club out????? WTF!!! At this moment in time, BRFC is a DISASTER AREA, and your beloved Venky's are the CAUSE of it. As I said in the first post on this article, this morning. They ought to consider themselves fortunate, that they didn't 'invest' in a football club in Colombia, because it wouldn't be snowballs being chucked at them!

BRFC: Made in Blackburn, by decent, honest, hardworking and honourable people. Destroyed in India, by VERMIN!

You are nutcase BRFC was in Debts of £25 million the Walkers left for Venkys
Its the Indian billionaires are saving this country investing in our economies you dinglehead BRFC ,Land/Rovers ,jAGUAR,NORTHERN FOODS, CORUS,Poundstrechers
,QPR FC,and many more saved by the Indians and saved British Jobs.
The VEnkys are Billionaires of India so what if they came in their Rolls Royce so did Jack Walker came in his Rolls Royce and so did the Queen coming to Blackburn in a poor deprived norther town.Venkys are self made Billionaires and one 200 Billionaires of India.Its the WAlkers sold BRFC and ran away to Jersey with all the cash they made from sale of BRFC.

Is Mark Fish speaking on behalf of himself, BRAG committee or BRAG members?? Significant that he did not think it appropriate to condemn the incident. Does this show BRAG in its true light??

Exactly, a baying mass of boot boys, screaming and spitting venom at venkys little girl as they got out of the car. What a total shambles, the organisers of the protest should be charged if they cant control their angry boot boy mob of Baboons.
Embarrssed to be a Rovers fan, how utterly classless and to compound their stupidity, they made a video of the incident and posted it worldwide. Like they are proud of it, what a bunch of lunatics.
You don't represent me and you never will.

Organisers? what organisers, from what i gather it was just a number of individual supporters who turned up at the ground, of their own free will and personal choice, prior to their arrival? who organised it? Who should have been "controlling" these supporters? and who is it who doesn't represent you, individual supporters?

Interesting that Mark1875 (Fish) avoids the issue and didn't comment on BRAG not condemning the incident - says it all really

I was telephoned yesterday morning asking for my thoughts "on how the protest went". I stated it was not a protest as such, and was more of a spontaneous show of displeasure from supporters who have suffered enough and this was always going to happen when Venkys finally revisited Ewood Park (or words to similar) I then went on to state that as i was not present at the ground at that point and neither were any BRFC Action Group committee members and i had only heard second hand reports of the incident i would prefer not to comment on it either personally or on behalf of the group.

So you don't condone it, but you don't condem it either, Nice quick step their. So you don't want to come down on either side of the fence. Well I do.
I will condem it on behalf of me, what a repulsive set of animals we are turning into. A baying mob of women and children bullies.

He's welcome and entitled to post his opinion as anyone else last time I looked

have you seen his/her level of insults directed at all rovers supporters and me specifically - he/she is obviously trying to stir something up - and to me is as unwelcome as any racist who comes on here - who would certainly not be entitled to post their opinions

by the way - you automatically assume the person is male - which is by no means certain....cos there are as many stupid women around as men - see i am being egalitarian again

The WALKERS did actually sell the Club to the Venkey family. i am sure the Venkey's are not happy with their investment either.
