If you don't like Venkys stay away from Ewood Park like BRAG and rest of mob who threw snow balls at Venkys.
The Walker boys fled to Jersey with cash from the sale of BRFC.
Anyway good draw with Arsenal at the Emirates.
Good luck Rovers and hope you beat Arsenal.

Clearly another example of a bogus wind up account, this one aimed at stirring up a touch of the racials in retaliation
Please ignore him...

That said, what have we to lose ? I won't be attending if the prices are as high as they have been over recent times ? Come away with a draw and, hey presto, let's fill Ewood up and let the good times roll :)
Second that Merlinrabbit, well done Dickov, plus a pal of mine is over the moon tonight with that result.

Its getting harder to sort the wheat from the chaff these days, loads of would-be supporters not attending matches but gloating on Dingle articles, dingles pretending to rovers to wind us up..
Wish we could just stick to football.
I'm going to make a point of ignoring doomies, gloomies, dingles and neggies. Seems like most of these people either don't attend Rovers games or can get past that Venky's are here to stay.
Appleton is turning this team around and a thrashing at Arsenal is in no way a guaranteed result, so how about ignoring the politics and just concentrating on the task at hand, which is getting behind the team and being the 12th man for a change?
On that note, the away support was amazing yesterday. Slow to start up but when CK-R scored, it just lifted the whole rovers away crowd and the team with it. Almost like the good old days again, really appreciating the players putting in the effort to play for a manager who has clearly gained their respect already.
Forget about being negative. Just imagine what an incredible boost it would be if we took the game to Arsenal and beat them on their own turf?
I for one will be happy just seeing our team playing toe to toe with the gunners and showing some premiership quality.
RTID - No matter who owns the club.

Imagine if we had been drawn against Oldham or Luton and then got beat - the doom merchant plonkers that come on here and moan moan moan would have had a field day. Also it isn't beyond us to go and get a draw there and nick it one-nil at Ewood in the replay. :-)

One of them isn't it really - all open to conjecture ? That in itself is no bad thing. At least we have something of note to speak of. It is a win win situation really(so long as we don't do a SA !) which I doubt we will under the Appy man. I would say he would want to test himself with his charges against the cream of the crop, and hey, why not ? Souness had a good crack at it at the now defunct Highbury in the FA Cup, and went on to win promotion although we lost on the day to a vastly superior team with the Henry's, Pirez, and the Blonde haired chap Petit running the show, but served it's purpose for the remainder of the season. Gives them a reminder what they are missing !
A good solid performance will suffice, sir and let us see where it takes us. Good enough, me thinks ?
But, we have more important stuff before that little matter, and going into that off some positive stuff will be grand. :-)
On we go mate :)

We must support Appleton and new younger player like Rhodes,Rochina,Hanle
y Lowe, King and the rest.
I want Venkys to give more transfer funds to appleton anf get Brfc back in Premier League asap.
Venkys are billionaire family from Pune India and they give a lot of money to charities in India.They provided free hospital for the poor and handsout free food for the poor.
The people in Europe,UK and USA love India and it's people.
They love yoga,hinduism Buddhism and Indian foods.In India people speaks English because India was a British colony. the red double decker buses,red post boxes,an the railways are still there.
Indian people are peace and loving people and India is the world's largest democracy,with free press,free courts,free market economy.Indian people love sports like cricket,football,ten
nis,grand prix formula 1 and horse racing.
there isa large Indian population In Blackburn,Leicester,
London,Kirklees,Birm
ingham and Manchester.Indians are very law abiding people too
