The sooner the powers that be in football are investigated (and prosecutions brought) the better. But what chance when FIFA is corrupt, our Government is corrupt and the legal system is corrupt!! It's the supporters who blindly pay their money week in and week out that suffer!!

4:46pm

Jason Lowe on for Murphy. The midfielder received a great ovation

4:44pm

Great strike from Fabio after a good run. Just over the bar

4:43pm

Robinson does well to tip Hayden Mullins' shot over bar on a rare Birningham break

4:34pm

Fabio Nunes on for Markus Olsson

4:32pm

So close Formica. Dinked effort clawed away by keeper

4:28pm

David Murphy weak shot, easy for Paul Robinson.

4:26pm

4:22pm

Simon Vukcevic on for Rochina

4:17pm

Good chance for Markus Olsson ata end of half after great through ball from Rochina. Dragged shor wide, now half time. Rovers have played well but let down by a moment of poor defending

Rochina looks class

 

3:39pm

Zigic now has a goal disallowed for offside Robbo saves Ravel Morrison's strike

3:38pm

Rovers might only be drawing but a massive difference from most of the season. Berg has them chasing every ball and passing the ball much quicker.

3:36pm

Rhodes has ball in the net by flag raised for offside in the build up

3:32pm

Murphy just wide from distance. A much improved display so far from the former Fulham midfielder

3:28pm

You get the feeling Rochina has the potential to be a real crowd pleaser here at Ewood. Fans love him and, playing in the right position at last, can be a real assetABILITY Ruben Rochina

stefjam says

Rovers have been all over Brum, but the lack of a left back has proved costly yet again

3:20pm

Goal Birmingham 1-1. Burke's cross hits Dann falls into Zigic's path, he miskicks and Marlon King on hand to tap home

3:16pm

GOAL. Rovers 1-0. Rochina coolly slots home from the penalty spot after Formica was fouled by David Murphy. Great start from Rovers

nothing happening yet i thought both of these teams would come out firing straight away or at least trying.

3:12pm

Rochina drags a shot wide after Markus Olsson's low cross is half cleared to him. Good initial ball by Martin Olsson

3:09pm

Jordan Rhodes touches the ball past the goalkeeper from Murphy's clipped pass but shot blocked by Steven Caldwell

3:07pm

Rovers almost score early on. Pass from Rochina sets Markus Olsson through and he shoots just wide. Offside anyway

...and so much for them coming on here, bigging their man Berg up and looking forward to a 20,000 crowd.
.
That's 3 points out of a possible 33 for Berg as a manager. No doubt the "consortium" (and their numerous bogus accounts) will be back on here shortly to urge more time for their man (OUR SAVIOUR - HENNING BERG!!) while collecting their share of Jack's legacy....

Actually got to see most of the game. Wow, what an improvement. I actually enjoyed it and was entertained. Really unlucky not to win. Henning doing a good job I think.

How come the fans of Anzhi Makhachkala took THREE TIMES as many fans to Anfield when they are almost 2,000 miles away than the face-combing soap-dodgers from Ewok when Blackburnistan is about thirty miles away? Face facts; those of you who'd defend them might WANT a decent support, but you haven't got one. It's dismal and tragic and your fleeting days of glory are behind you now so you'd better get used to it. Maybe one season in the Premiership over the next decade will be a giddying height for you now.
