Gomes ready to carry on scoring for Blackburn Rovers (From Lancashire Telegraph)

inflightmagazine wrote:
I have to say Gomes has been a great signing, his movement and touch is class, if he can pass that on to the young lads around him then that two year contract will be worth its weight in gold. I can imagine for the young portugeses lads it must be quite an experience having him their to help them settle and give them advice, hats off on this one to Rovers, i dont believe for one minute Mr Kean got him there and suspect others have persueded him to come.

Middelsborough next should be an interesting game, were not playing great at the minute and winning , which to be honest is better than playing well and losing ( Leicester suffering with this at the minute). Cant help feeling that with a good manager this team could really set this league on fire. In the mean time i will just enjoy the goals.

Very confident of the three points but eventually we will be exposed at the back is another thing I can virtually guarantee! I'll be watching from my favourite position in my local pub in Preston with interest!

I think the LT should have two Rovers pages, one for debate about boycotts, ownership and sponsorship issues etc and the other one just for what happens on the pitch. 1-1 tonight, Kean doesn't win 3 on the bounce

For openly bragging that he is watching the match on the TV in Preston and declaring at the same time that he is "enjoying being a Rovers' fan", he should be shot. In Blackburn.

For christs sake man, live for today, you never know what tomorrow brings (especially with all those ICI fumes you been happily breathing in for years!)
If this team was in the prem now we'd be bottom because we wouldn't have been given space to score and would have conceded more goals due to dire defending (coached by Hendry, a man who's lost so much respect in so shorter time)
However we're in the championship and from what I've seen there isn't an outstanding team in the whole division. So enjoy the moment , we've got the routine spanking of the inbreds coming up and believe me after talking to some proper cl@rets fans (there is the odd one or two believe it or not), they are 5hitting themselves about playing us.
What do you want you moaning b@stards?
Jacks gone and so has his legacy sadly , do you want a Bill Fox type club? 6000 gates , p1ssing against a wall in the Blackburn End bogs and excited by a free transfer of someone who played for Barcelona 5 years ago?
The lot of you moaning whining gits need to get a grip, support the team we love, abuse the manager we hate if you think it helps and try our best to get OUR club back in the top flight.
If you have your mind oggled with all the chemicals you've breathed in over the years then p1ss off and watch your other local club, plenty of room at the breezebock to watch that other snivelling , money grabbing fenian coyle make a mess of football management too.
Rant over, get behind the Blues tonight and live for today!

I'd quite like to see him play on the right wing... Think he might balance the team up a bit. At the moment we don't actually have a right winger.

Due to living away from England I only have the tv to shout at when Rovers are on, apart from very rare matches I can get back to - so hope the stay-aways enjoy the same experience tonight. Not the same at all, no way no how. I cannot even contemplate how any Rovers fan can resist going down to Ewood to watch them 'live' especially at a night match, (love those nights at Ewood) and even more so when we are winning and top of the league. Stuff Venkys and the Odious one and all the rubbish in the boardroom and get yourselves down and shout on the team. Your team. Surely you can see that you are not proving anything to anyone (not even yourselves if you are truthful) anymore by staying away any longer. Like the marches and the early protests they are only really effective at the beginning when it is all new and shocking.....but any success from any action fades away over time... and that is when protests need a new or fresher approach to keep the topic in the news and in our case to help get SK out? Seeing the arrogance on his face at matches It seems at the moment like he knows that he is not going anywhere soon. That has to change.

I can see the headlines in the morning none will be about fans boycotting because of who the manager is it will be that rovers are a typical example of the modern game, Last season in the prem gates averaging 20k + now in the championship and playing against the likes of boro etc instead of the uniteds of this world fans will not bother attending. you can kid yourself all you want about sending this so called message in front of cameras and i hope that the fans aren't portrayed as glory hunters but we all know the media will slate fans like they did last season. But back to the game another shambolic defensive display but a 3 - 2 win to stay ahead of the chasing pack

14 points on the board, no games lost, yeah, tonight may just be it!! Honestly?? I don't support Kean but let's put this into perspective.

He is getting paid probably c.£1m for not doing his job well. Why would he walk away? He isn't going to land another job like this.

If they sack him, what other manager would join our club the state it is in. Players bought for you, minimal contact with the board, no back office support.

The guy is a yes man and happy to operate as one.

Unless a local fan wins the 10th Euromillions rollover or we manage to create another steel magnate who is a die hard fan then we are stuck with what we have.

It isn't ideal but it is fact. We need to get on with it. 5000 fans staying away is small beer compared to tv rights and marketing which is clearly what Venky's were after.

They buy the club for £40m sell players to at least that amount, are now known globally and could have a fire sale if we don't get promoted and still walk away quids in.

Get behind the team and enjoy the wins - For now!

Here here. Stayaway "fans" - rubbish. You cannot be a fan and boycott matches. Grow up. We are top of the 2nd division (I still operate in old money). Try watching away games at Plymouth in Div 3. Of course you wouldn't - no matter who woned the club and who was manager. I don't like Keen or Venky's any either but I love my club. I forgive you for giving the boycott a go, but it has not worked and will not work. You deprive the club of your support and thereby handicap the team. Boycotters don't want us promoted if Keen stays (which of course he would). They would prefer us to be relegated if Keen goes. Boycotters, you are a disgrace to our club. Go the whole hog and turn up at Turf Moor.

You're right, the marches and protests probably only had any chance of being effective early on and there should now be a newer approach - perhaps staying away is it.

There's only been three home matches so its a bit early to be saying it is "not proving anything to anyone".

You may not be able to contemplate how any Rovers fan can resist going down to Ewood but, and I know it's a quaint old fashioned notion, but some people do still have principles.
