It can be special season, says Blackburn Rovers keeper (From Lancashire Telegraph)

Oh it's going to be 'special' alright Robbo, with the bald idiot still trying to play as manager...

LETS HOPE YOU CAN KEEP SOME "CLEAN SHEETS" THIS TIME TOO ROBBO ..

The fan will only come back when KEAN IS OUT ..

We are sick of all the "spin" that comes out of Ewood ...

Once all the "dirty washing" is thrown out, we can all have a "fresh clean start" like linen in a linen cupboard eh Robbo ; ) ...

To judge from Wednesday night, very little has changed. It seems to a great many of us that the wretched Kean has only one tactic: crowd the midfield and try to feed a lone striker. It didn't work in the Premiership and will not work now. When opposing managers realise, as they will, that we are so predictable we will enjoy as 'special' a season as we had last.

Nothing said about Kean at all......

Every season is special whilst Steve Kean is around.

Wait till he hits the booze again.

Venkys Blue And White Army.

Paul Robinson is one of a very few players whose opinion I respect, I notice he didnt mention the so called manager.

Its sad that after 47 yrs down at Ewood, 25yrs as a season ticket holder , I will not be down at Ewood to clap Robbo on and off the field. I eagerly await the day when I can return.

“Unlike last season, we are expecting to win games.”
Is that a half-hearted admittance to 'throwing' games last season just because we weren't the favorites? I am sorry to burst your bubble Mr.Robinson but even if we do have a top 6 standard of team in this division you will have to take into account the enormous drag-factor of our manager that brings player performances down and morale heavily down. With that in mind I don't expect us to win games whilst Kean is the tactician, granted he will win every now and again but i think he's more hindrance then help. Get him gone from the club then maybe you can blow your own trumpet after some improvement on the pitch.

We have some thing special, the manager, his own olympics are starting in 19 days he should be training for that

Steve Kean is "special".
That's probably how Strathclyde Education Authority described him anyway.

It will be special only when Kean is sacked.
.
And Ewood will only have a chance of being fairly full with a good atmosphere again when that happens.
.
The many thousands who did not attend Ewood have spoken with their feet and those who did attend spoke with their voices - KEAN OUT!
.
34th....

different way of playing? - ipswich sit back for the last 30 minutes and let the oppo come at us? how is that different? how many chances did we create against hull?
.
you can have all the premiership "quality" players in the world but whilst you have someone managing the side who would be out of his depth managing the red lion in a sunday pub league, we have little to no chance.

Special as in special needs, yes. We need a manager without special needs and one with tactical acumen.

strange - LT has posted rhodes story on dingle pages. i guess cos they are playing the terriers.

another one that keans brainwashed!!!!!

The only thing special this season for me would be if someone had the guts to kick Kean out of our club.
CON MAN KEAN OUT

Robbo - why or why are you coming out with comments like this! You of all people now that the fans don't give a flying f**k about a different style and being patient!
Our so-called Manager doesn't know jack about tactics and the players dont respect him or want to play for him. He is a laughing stock to everyone involved with the club. so please don't come out with comments to appease us, it's bo!!oxs!
Anyway, the only thing Special about this season, is that YOU need to eat some Special K. You seemed to have put on a few pounds? must be all that sh!t you been eating and now talking! KEAN OUT / ROBBO FAT!

OH NO. another of keans puppets spouting crap,
"GET OUT KEAN"

Did you ask Robbo why he thought the attendance was less than 14,000?

Why he thought it was quiet?

Whether he would still be at the club if a half decent club had come in for him?

No I don't suppose so. Its this kind of vomit-inducing rhetoric coming out of the club that we don't want to hear about, we want real information about what's going on at the club, why haven't we got any sponsors? Why are Simon, Rochina, Goodwillie never playing? Why not ask Steve Kean for a full interview with proper questions from the fans, if he declines tell us!

We have had poor results in the past and the crowds were never as bad, its not the results, we support the team whatever, its the fact we have been lied to and kept in the dark for two years by Kean and Desai

From what I've heard,it looks as though Shebby has back tracked on his statement about sacking Kean.As most on here know that I'm one of the many boycotters.For those who went on Wednesday,have you thought about boycotting a game with the Shebby u turn?What else can we do now to get rid of this regime,because its just going to carry on and on.I'm not one for saying which is right or wrong and well done to the fans carrying on with the anti Kean chants at the game.The fans are clearly divided and we need to stick together,or we might aswell throw in the towel,

"Teams are coming here and try to stop us playing" Why?they don't need to, the team were not playing under Kean all last season,and looks same this season, no flair,no real tactics,one up front. Busy days ahead Robbo

singh was talking to keays and gray on talkSpurs yesterday. his main points when questioned were
1) when he said about losing 3 games on the bounce and kean being fired he was talking about "all managers generally" would be under pressure if they lost three games
2) he has an "excellent" working relationship with steve kean
3) he wasn't referring to pedersen specifically as a pensioner - but generally saying you don't win anything with a bunch of pensioners.
.
same asylum - just another inmate to add to the register. i look forward to him telling us about us playing in europe

KEAN OUT!

HYPNOSIS!!!! Kean's shiny head has the players and Venky's hypnotised! Robinson is speaking fiction! Venkys have a fictional brilliant manager! Kean spouts fiction all the time! It's all done with hypnosis!
.
Kean has Orr, Robinson, Dunn and his new signings mesmerised. "We have a premier league defence! We use brilliant new tactics! We are favourites now! We are special!" etc, is the mantra. They are all totally divorced from reality! They've really lost it! Kean is the Rasputin of football management. He's a total wrong fit for the job, all reason and logic and results say he should be sacked but he continues to have a powerful influence.
.
Season ticket holders beware! Don't get too close to the shiny rays that bounce off his head. Divert your eyes! He already has you in his spell but you will be praising and worshipping the drunken one if you do not take great care! Stay away, it is your only hope! We, the fans who have put some distance between ourselves and the bald buffoon, have an overview, can see the reality, can separate fact from fiction and will persevere until the truth is manifest.

Andy Cryer beware too. The media have been sucked in, at times you've been very close, tread very carefully. It must be difficult to resist his hypnotic power, so perhaps try throwing a sack over his head when you interview him, perhaps use wartime interview techniques to make him speak the truth and save BRFC, the fans and the community from this most dangerous enemy. Desperate times call for desperate measures. Andy Cryer, are you the man to save our souls!

I'll give you two guesses as to what will make it EXTRA special, Robbo. Can't guess ? Let me tell you ... sack that f*cking bald Scot.

The atmosphere at Ewood is heavily mixed as it was last October/November with some fans chanting Kean Out and others screaming back at them 'SUPPORT YOUR TEAM'!

Which is basically a couldren pot for violence, they should sack Kean if only on the grounds of health and safety.

the people that are calling Robbo for speaking to the LET are the same ones who were championing him at the end of last season just a few short weeks ago...then they were saying how he was one of the few players that understood how the Rovers fans felt about Kean and Venkys and that his waves to the fans at the end of games were ones of comradeship and solidarity with the fans Kean Out cries....

but now he has said something that alludes to getting some success this season then all of a sudden he is an overweight lying Kean supporter.......whic
h is just crazy!

He never even mentions Kean in the article and what he says should be what every Rovers fan wants to hear anyway:
Robbo's Quote:
After the couple of years we have had at this place, it would be special to have a successful season and to look towards promotion. Look, it is a long season and that is a long way off, but to get promotion would be a fantastic boost for this club and for the town.”

How can any Rovers fan find anything wrong with that statement? It is exactly what I want for my team and what I want to hear from my clubs players (that and Kean out) but of course Robbo and the others cannot say that. But we say it for them.

Don't knock the bloke for being positive about the season - just hope all the rest of the players feel the same way.

Its not what we want,is it Mx Mave.Where is this getting us?I heard Glen Mullan getting some stick at Ipswich why?He's working his watsits off to help end this mess,or am. I missing something.

Hat trick for Rhodes tomorrow. Then he can sign for us on Monday!

“You look at the back five and that is a Premier League defence. All through the team we have Premier League players and teams are going to come and try and stop us playing. They will see our team sheet and rise to the challenge.”
And a lot of good it did us last season!

There's about as much chance of that as Kean handing in his notice at 14:59 tomorrow afternoon

think Igave you a wrong pass word could I register again?

spot on...the majority of commenters on here would have nothing to say if and when Kean goes. Until then why not try getting down to Ewood and supporting the team instead of this silly boycott and the stupid chants of Kean out which are all falling on deaf ears...we have tried and failed in the past to bring a change. the only thing that will bring that about is poor position in the table.
Get over it. Try thinking positively for a change instead of the mindless negativety. well done Robbo. come on u blues!!!

Apparently Huddersfied have been enqiring about Burnley's Austin I wonder why if they have no intention to do a deal with the mighty Rovers?

Why does everyone think Leicester are favourites ? Have they any decent players? We should concentrate on playing two strikers against them and get younger players in midfield to compensate.

Rovertillidie......h
ere here.

This is the time to stop being silly.

World domination awaits for BRFC under the current regime.

Forget the fact that the club has been totally steamrollered and relegated by possibly the worst manager in football league history and some other naughty people.

Voting with your feet/wallet went out with the ark......very very silly.

Shouting at matches is also silly.

Shebby Singh is not silly.

Venkys Silly Blue And White Silly Army.

What a silly billy.

Is Kean a Scottish reinarnation of Mussolini? I realise Mussoline knew more about football.women and white palaces.

Still quiet- no apologies from anyone yet.
Forgot- they were fantastic last season.
No I won't shut up.

Not even the Sam Allardyce era attracted that many!!!

everyone to toe the party line

As I am no longer going to watch the Rovers whilst Kean is there I come on these pages to keep up with the latest developments and make a few comments as and when. But it appears to me that since the last or should I say first home match the fans seem to be divided as to the best course of action to remove Kean. Some say boycott and starve them of finance. Some say go but still harangue the manager. Yet others say just keep quiet or support the team. What to do? Everybody is entitled to do what they think best. But my one wish is that it is resolved as soon as possible because after two games of not seeing them I am and probably all the other stay always pining for the team I have supported for years. We can't even watch on the Internet like we could last year so it is even more of a dilemma. To go or not to go? That is the question. Well I won't be there tomorrow, but I will be thinking about what I am missing. To those cheering the team, give them a cheer from me and to those booing the manager give him a boo from me!

Spot on bluerob Robbo would never side with the odious one, he was one of the few players who connected with the fans last season.

Maybe its going to be a special season because he knows Coco will get the the boot ( AT LAST )

Very pleased to see Robbo will be between the posts for the coming season. A fantastic keeper, the best in the league by far and a top bloke as well.

Do you think that if Steve Kean does not reach the points total set as his target ( whatever it is ) he will be removed from his position?

If the guy got p*ssed up and made a total fool of himself and brought the game into disrepute ( and shame on the name of BRFC ) do you think he would be removed from his position?

If he was just simply an idiot do you think he would be removed?

No.

Venkys Blue And White Army.

So Paul Robinson is the new target for abuse for having the audacity to say something positive about the club he plays for. You lot really need to clam down...........all this bile building up inside you is going to make you ill. I repeat, to those of you staying away..........thanks and I am sure that the owners would agree with me despite the reduced gate receipts.
Despite the Special Needs corner of the Darwen End demanding that they Get Out Of Our Town, our dedicated, distant but generous owners attracted criticism and vitriol for leaving the game early on Wednesday.
You need to understand the Indian aristocratic culture. Conflict of any kind is unwelcome and public confrontation is a complete anathema. It is interesting to reflect that the Rao family are closely related to the dearly departed Mahatma Ghandi and they conduct themselves in the same calm, peaceful and dignified manner.
They did not, as suggested, leave to avoid engagement with the Blackburn public. On the contrary, they left early to take up a position in the outdoor smoking garden of Uncle Jack's public house where they held a fortyfive minute impromptu fans forum answering a range of questions from Steve Kean's contract to the contents of a Venky's Chicken bargain bucket.
When one delighted fan declared that he had missed his last train home to Padiham he was given the choice of a lift home in either the blue or the white Rolls Royce. The white one incidentally was driven by Shebby Singh who has been demoted from his role of Global Advisor to Global Chauffeur following his disgraceful outburst questioning the competence and integrity of Mr Kean who continues to display remarkable dignity.
I understand that the Rao family, along with Mrs Desai will be at tomorrow's game and plan to meet the fans in the Aqueduct for a pie and a pint before the game. I for one will be there with my camera and autograph book.

Angry......'bile', 'dignity', 'special needs'... ....................
..........
......Indian cultural aristocracy!!!???

Stick to the facts.

Sheer hypocrisy.

Venkys Blue And White Army

Angry from Accrington. Chill out! You got too close and you've been hypnotised!

HYPNOSIS!!!! Kean's shiny head has the players and Venky's hypnotised! Robinson is speaking fiction! Venkys have a fictional brilliant manager! Kean spouts fiction all the time! It's all done with hypnosis!
.
Kean has Orr, Robinson, Dunn and his new signings mesmerised. "We have a premier league defence! We use brilliant new tactics! We are favourites now! We are special!" etc, is the mantra.

Season ticket holders beware! Don't get too close to the shiny rays that bounce off his head. Divert your eyes!

We, the fans who have put some distance between ourselves and the bald buffoon, have an overview, can see the reality, can separate fact from fiction and will persevere until the truth is manifest.

Andy Cryer beware too. The media have been sucked in, at times you've been very close, tread very carefully.

There is only one thing that will make this season special, and thats when Kean is sacked.

If Singh keeps to his promises and sacks Kean if he fails to look like he can deliver then that should happen in a maximum of about 10 games time.

Sir Jogalot,

It is interesting that you compare our esteemed leader to Rasputin as he too, of course, was considered by many to be a prophetic messiah. I accept the SK has not yet realised his true potential but I genuinely believe that in time he will be in the Ewood Hall of fame alongside the likes of Jack Marshall, Eddie Quigley, Gordon Lee, Ken Furphy and Don McKay. Keep the faith!

Blind faith or total ignorance?

Results / facts are indisputable.

Ra Ra Rasputin.

Venkys Blue And White Army.

with the score at 0-0 imagine my suprise when i glanced over to the directors box and found it completely empty with 20 minutes still to play,was the traffic really going to be that bad with such a low attendence,were these the same people who said they were devastated at our relegation or were they still confused and didnt really realise where they were or maybe they were tired after such a long trip,maybe they should of asked their good friend mr steve for some travel tips!!!

Brilliant quote Robbo...

"You look at the back five and that is a Premier League defence."

...excuse me sir, but didn't they ship 78 goals and get relegated?

Would be great if this now means Rhodes can happen but I still doubt we will pay the money for him when there are Portuguese freebies around.....

it will only be special if that idiot Kean is sacked!!

It wouldn't surprise me if Rhodes ended up at Wolves.They've made a bit of dosh today.

All I can say is
13th in the premier League

I think you are right guiderover, although they still wouldn't offer him the salary would they?

I actually wouldn't mind seeing Goodwillie pay tomorrow in the absence of Kaz. Would also love to see Ruben play but apparently Kean has no time for Barcelona youngsters? "They very rarely turn out to be any good" He was overheard telling Ms.Desai. "Let's see who our agent friend knows......"

I too think Goodwillie should be given a chance and Rochina has talent,but I'll be surprised if any start.Kean out!

Robbo gave this interview shortly after he was seen sitting opposite Kean who had an Indian Cobra swaying behind him whilst saying "Look into my eyes and repeat after me...."

the people that are calling Robbo for speaking to the LET are the same ones who were championing him at the end of last season just a few short weeks ago...then they were saying how he was one of the few players that understood how the Rovers fans felt about Kean and Venkys and that his waves to the fans at the end of games were ones of comradeship and solidarity with the fans Kean Out cries....

but now he has said something that alludes to getting some success this season then all of a sudden he is an overweight lying Kean supporter.......whic

h is just crazy!

He never even mentions Kean in the article and what he says should be what every Rovers fan wants to hear anyway:
Robbo's Quote:
After the couple of years we have had at this place, it would be special to have a successful season and to look towards promotion. Look, it is a long season and that is a long way off, but to get promotion would be a fantastic boost for this club and for the town.”

How can any Rovers fan find anything wrong with that statement? It is exactly what I want for my team and what I want to hear from my clubs players (that and Kean out) but of course Robbo and the others cannot say that. But we say it for them.

Don't knock the bloke for being positive about the season - just hope all the rest of the players feel the same way.

...but positivity and winning games isn't wanted by a lot on here Mr F, it is the ultimate dilemma as well you know.
Personally,I'd take another slutchy 1 0 win now.
By the way,what was my prize for winning the Guess the Hull crowd competition.
I'm going with 16 and a half tomorrow.

Although I agree that it's daft how some people were championing Robinson last season and now they're slating him, I don't think players should be making statements to appease the fans anyway, considering the current situation at the club.

Obviously players can't talk about their manager but they'd have to be both blind and deaf to not know that the reason the fans are staying away is due to Kean's continued presence, not because of results. To say that they're hopeful that performances will bring the crowds back is an insult to those fans who've made the difficult decision to stay away.

I've never seen a fan base as divided as ours and until Kean is gone I don't think it ever will be. In the meantime, it would be better for the players to stick to talking about what happens on the pitch, not what's going on off it, as all it does is antagonise a lot of people.

Which is basically a couldren pot for violence, they should sack Kean if only on the grounds of health and safety.

Don't forget the 12,000 who have already voted with there feet. The support your team brigade are being naive and short term in their thinking in not realising the problem will not go away until Kean is gone.

All they are doing is prolonging the agony.

34th.....

12,000 Mr Morst? I don't remember us drawing a 25K+ crowd against the likes of Hull in the Premier League even in the good times.

Champs - We were reported to have sold 8,000 ST's if you believe the official figure! In 2010 pre Kean we sold 20,000 ST's, so 20 -18 =12. I was not even including the drop in walk on fans!
.
There is no doubt that in thats eason with match day innitiatives also we were getting up to 23 to 24K home fans alone and averaged nearr 26K for the season. Sadly first Big Sam's style started to put a few off and then Kean arrived and has halved it and even those going hate him!
.
34th.....
p.s. the good times in the PL where 92-97!

But my one wish is that it is resolved as soon as possible because after two games of not seeing them I am and probably all the other stay always pining for the team I have supported for years. We can't even watch on the Internet like we could last year so it is even more of a dilemma. To go or not to go? That is the question. Well I won't be there tomorrow, but I will be thinking about what I am missing. To those cheering the team, give them a cheer from me and to those booing the manager give him a boo from me!

great post, I'm in the same boat but I will NEVER go to Ewood until Kean has left regardless of what happens.

It just doesn't feel right any more, its not the club I have followed and supported with a passion for 47yrs

Cannot wait to come back to Ewood and cheer you on Robbo, until Kean is sacked itl be away games only............ See you at Leeds


KEAN OUT

Bit of a dilemma for the naysayers this really. Choose Robbo as your Champion because you decide he is against Kean.
Now he demonstrates a little independent viewpoint and he is the spawn of Satan
Am I the only one that sees a pattern? Only anti Rovers/anti everything views allowed. Some people just want Rovers to fail, people like Morst the dingle I only want Ewood empty or Ronnie the Dingle i stalk Colin Hendry
None of you are Rovers fans, no dont bother with more of your lies Morst, you tell more than SK ever has

It makes me so angry that Kean or Shabby keep putting up their surrender monkies to talk down to the fans. Just look at your disgraceful record over the last two and a half years, shut your mouths, hang your heads in shame, give some ot your bloated, unearned salaries to charity, and try to do better. Don't talk testicles about a great season lying ahead. We are a club with an amateur manager, a Walter Mitty global adviser, and a set of female genital owners. Stop patronising the fans Robinson. Try to remember you are only a thick footballer. Most of the fans want shut of you as it is.

you win a lifetime season ticket of course Baldie...and you say 16500 tomorrow.....mmm I reckon on just about 17000 - but whatever it is it will be up on the Hull game.
Just need the same result - another win? Sounds good saying 'another win'........ :).

and me too. If fans want to go and still get something from it, I wont knock them but I cant. The frustration and anger last season killed the games for me and I cant take any more of that man who is an unwanted intruder in my club. I dont see any reason to criticise Robbo either. His comments dont suggest siding with Kean.Iv listened to games and it sounds like promotion is a long way off.

And what is you definition of a real fan Wild Rover ?

Gotta respect robbo. No matter what you say, he is one of the most experienced players we have and will play a vital part in giving the youngster confidence to go out and try their best week in week out.

He also doesn't mention kean once, hopefully he agrees with our now famous chant.

KEAN OUT! VENKYS OUT!

Kean last couple of weeks rented and moved to Lytham , probably still has another big house somewhere else, must have moved to Lytham to get away from the people he is screwing, he is probably thinking its safe from questions from genuine and decent Rovers folk.
\Now he must be scared of real Rovers supporters asking him why he cannot be honourable and simply move on. I suppose he is drinking in the pubs in lytham most nights with Hendry, well lets be honest if you want someone to teach a person how to lie/cheat /gamble/ drink CH5 is your man.

Hi Baldie - I was not making comparisons to only Hull. Any individual team would depend on timing and circumstances of the fixture at the time. I just look at the Rovers ST's compared to when Kean arrived in 2010.
.
If only the board had the guts to sack him this week we could save our season. The main point was that many thousands have walked away and many of those who did turn up still hated Kean - so moving forward has to be without him. Anything else is prolonging the agony.

Was like a morgue at times on wednesday night,but then again,it was last season.He needs to go asap,i personally think he's on borrowed time. How many times lately have we heard from AC that Kean fancies one player,but the rest don't.

they can win 6 - 0 everygame and people will not return if keans there simple the guys a fool surrounded by idiots who know nothing about football !!

I have had enough of the drivel on here now. About time you put the effort into backing the players, if you do not like the manager fair enough but if you were Blackburn born and bred and a true blue you would be right behind the team and helping getting us back into top flight footie. There were worse times in the 60's,70's and 80's but we all stuck together and the success came. So come on lets get behind the players and smash Leicester on Sat'

No they were not worse times. They were just the rub of the green. We were not owned by people who had not got a clue about football. We were not managed by a criminal, drunkered liar. We didn't have to put up with lies lies and more lies! We were a well respected family club. Proud of our past and not looked down upon by the rest of the footballing world.
