Givet returns after bust-up
10:09am Wednesday 3rd October 2012 in Sport
Gael Givet
GAEL Givet is in the Blackburn Rovers squad for this evening’s Championship trip to Nottingham Forest after holding clear the air talks earlier this week.
The Frenchman was substituted at half-time on Saturday after not ‘being in the right frame of mind’ to continue but, after talks with the players and boss Eric Black, is expected to start at the City Ground.
Black, in temporary charge, declined not to comment in detail on Saturday’s events, with Givet understood to have had an on-field bust-up with a couple of players.
He admitted the Frenchman’s actions were wrong but insisted the incident was now history.
He said: “Gael is absolutely fine. I have spoken to him, he came to see me, we have spoken about what happened and I am happy with how it has been resolved.
“He has spoken to the players and we will move forward. It is dealt with and we move on. It was an internal personal thing for him, which I fully respect. He explained it to me, I am happy with the explanation he has given me and it is history.
“Gael will be the first to say he did something he should have not have done, he is fully aware of that.
“However he is an emotional individual, wants to win games, plays with his heart on his sleeve, he has done exceptionally well for the team.”

I would like to see him make Givet captain and tell Murphy to shape up or settle for a place on the bench.

er/planner leads to individuals arguing with each other on the field of play. This is a fundamental of all team sports.
Hendry OUT

Not too sure what options we have at centre half or full back, but we need to get the defence sorted out and quick.

What do you want , a team full of spineless yes-men who take substandard play as the norm and are carry on quietly or somebody who gives a fuc.k and wants the same commitment as he gives?
Probably was aimed at Orr or Dann, a right pair of wasters , only here for the money, cos the pair of em aren't good enough. Add to that, Lowe, Murphy and Dunn and you have 5 players (3 signed by k**n, 1 past it and 1 never good enough) who never say boo to a goose.
I'd be glad to see the back of the lot of em apart from Dunny, he deserves a role at the club if he wants it, being a local lad and a supporter too.
Don't come on here slagging Givet or Peds , both good servants to the club, Yes they get well paid but they've both pulled us out of the 5hit on numerous occasions.
Go on you 2 kn0beads, go and see how your superannuated pension pot that I'm paying for is totting up, just before you buy your bosses lunch then lick their ar$es all afternoon!

(.. Remember the days when he probably would of been told to train with the kids and then sold on the sly whilst we the fans would be told some career-ending porkies by the odious one.)
Can't wait for Forest tonight, let's leather them for six!

Any individual that can't take a bit of a ear bashin maybe is not in the 'right frame of mind' to be on the park.!
I like Gaels passion (even though I don't take the the common French), he represents to me the kind of player I have enjoyed way back when in the old second division campaigns.

I said Orr wouldn't be rated in the top 40 off defenders in his position and not in the top 100 as a defender, he has no pace no sense of positional play and will always be second in a tackle In a 50/50 challenge
Givet is a good pro and is at best a top 40 courage yes, positional play yes
Pace no
Dann hasn't become a bad player overnight, he has lost confidence, through last season and is scared off putting a foot wrong because of his fellow players, you can't cover 2 positions in defence you do your job, and expect them to do theirs
As for left back is anyone's guess, Olson plays to far up the pitch
And your back to the Dann situation again

BTW I'm actual[y doing some consultancy work for a local council at the moment and you are right in one thing they are lazy but poorly paid. But better than being on the dole isn't it? .
