    Could we please have a seperate forum/thread for the people who just post negatives. This thread is about a new signing and his hopeful ambitions at Rovers, and yet people see fit to slag him off. Give the guy a chance.

    Negatives are fine, where warranted, and everybody is entitled to their own opinion. All is not rosy at Ewood, but having to trawl through all the repetative dross about not buying a season ticket, hate this person and that, only going to away games etc is boring.

    If some of you "negs" attend away games and continually abuse Kean and not get behind the team, then I would expect few away points - probably the result you want, however, are you a true supporter?

    The club should ensure that away tickets are only available to season ticket holders.

    Rant over, and I am awaiting the abuse!!


    Looks like Chorley FC is now out of bounds in view of Garry Flitcroft's comments, but then again, do other clubs want to put up with moaning fans.
    FlyingV1 are you Rovers11-12?
    If you don't buy a season ticket you should be banned from away games ffs.
    Get Real
    I think you'll find that almost every ST owner whose going to the away games will agree.

    haters on here need to get a clue about whats really going on. Players arent saying anything bad about Kean because apart from one or two, Kean has a good relationship with all of them, trust me on this, my gf worked there last season.

    The press, Flitcroft other managers all have nothing bad to say about Kean because clueless as a manager he might have been, its down to opinion, Kean bent over backwards giving encouragement to players and staff and is generally well liked. There might have been all sorts of dodgy going on in the boardroom but Kean didnt bring it to the team and shielded the players and people working there blame venkys for most of it.

    and before any haters jump on the bandwagon, yeah I am new on here, but I am shocked to read some of the comments from so-called rovers supporters. I can only assume they are the same morons who chanted throughout each match win lose or draw.

    Well here's a nugget for ya: Its commonly known behind the scenes that the Yak wanted out not just because he wanted top-flight football (proven by fact he didnt go to the EPL), he was sick and tired of all the negativity and didnt relish another season of the negative atmosphere created including from the fans.

    Hes not the only one and who could blame them? its bad enough results not going your way, injuries, players not being played from decisions by absent owners, but who in their right mind would have wanted to put a Rovers shirt on and go out to fans chanting and boo-ing the manager?

    Abuse me all you like, I'm a true blue and will be there rain or shine cheering on my team to turn it around and neither Venkys, Kean or so-so supporters can change that. Just hope the players take comfort that its only the away games they have to suffer.
    Welcome Gomes,love the conviction.
    You might want to puy on a hard hat for a few days though."

Blackburn Rovers new boy Gomes has World Cup dream

NUNO Gomes believes his shock Blackburn Rovers move could hand him an international lifeline – as he bids for a dream World Cup finale.

The 36-year-old signed a two-year deal at Ewood Park last week and revealed he turned down several other offers, including one from Premier League Everton.

The former Benfica, Fiorentina and Braga striker has played in World Cups and European Championships for Portugal and hopes his English switch could earn him an international recall.

He insists helping Rovers back into the Premier League at the first attempt is the priority but believes that could also earn him a place in Portugal’s squad for the World Cup in 2014.

He said: “The talks began two weeks ago. It was quite fast. I had other offers, even from Everton from the Premier League, but everyone here made me feel at home. That was very important for me.

“I’m going to live in Manchester. It’s an hour trip and my family will be with me there. I hope also that Black-burn can help me, perhaps I could even be at the 2014 World Cup with Portugal.

“I had offers from Braga and also Benfica, but wanted to play in England. I had some talks with guys from the MLS and from Everton, but the guys from Rovers convinced me.

“They want me to help the team reach the Premier League. That’s the main goal, the Premier League. I think I can become an idol to the fans. At every club I’ve played, I had the fans’ support and hope I can get it there as well.

“I always loved English football. In England everyone looks at what the player does on the pitch. They don’t look at how old we are. I think I can score many goals, and who knows, after two years maybe I can renew thecontract.”
