PAUL Robinson is an injury doubt for Blackburn Rovers’ trip to Liverpool on Boxing Day.
The Rovers keeper has a calf muscle tear and his fitness will be assessed before the game, with Mark Bunn on stand-by if required.
Rovers are otherwise expected to choose from the same squad that lost 2-1 at home to Bolton on Tuesday, with Martin Olsson among those still sidelined.
For more news ahead of the Boxing Day fixture at Anfield, see tomorrow’s Lancashire Telegraph.

Just heard from a reliable source (x Player) at 15.50pm Samba has asked to go in January and Hoilett has told Kean he is not signing, in nine days Hoilett can then "officailly" talk to "the" club he WANTS to go to.
God help us if this is actually confirmed.

Why the hell is no-one looking in to what is going on from the Premier League?
Its us the fans that are suffering because of a few peoples greed but hey thats the way of the world these days isnt it?
I really dont know what to say anymore and feel so helpless in watching something I hold dear to my heart being destroyed.
We will all be there next season what ever the league as long as these people are finally out from our club.
Its just a shame we can not destroy their core-business like they are destroying our club.

Ring, ring, ring ring - Steve McBrilliant to planet Venkys, “hello, is that Mrs Desai?” “Yes, it is Steve - quiet Balaji, Venkatesh, your Uncle Steve McBrilliant is on the phone”... “I’m just phoning to tell you we are on course for the Championship as planned”, “don’t you mean Champions League Steve?” “Pretty much the same thing Mrs Desai but MUCH much cheaper to play in. No long and pricey air flights or expensive hotels for you to pay for. The Stagecoach service is very reasonable and only costs a few rupees.” “ The Stagecoach? Venkatesh will be so excited, he’s always loved playing cowboys and Indians you know.” “This all sounds great Steve, but will we be still paying at the Nude Camp? Balaji was SO looking forward to ‘playing’ there with himself.” “I’m positive it’s going to be Bournemouth rather than Barcelona but don’t worry, in a couple of seasons we’ll be playing at Exeter on the English Riviera.” “Oh you are so wonderful Steve, you truly are a ‘brilliant’ manager. Now tell me, are the 99% of the fans still behind you?” They most positively are Mrs Desai, in fact they bought a Christmas tree and inserted me on top of it!” “Norwegian Spruce?” “No, Scottish Puce more like - at least that’s the colour my face has gone since the insertion.... I’ve had lots of positive support from other football managers since the home game with Bolton. Actually my good friend Davey McToffee was there to hold my hand but when the nasty Rovers fans - just the 1% you understand - said naughty things about me, he stamped his foot and stomped off home to have a wee cry and cuddle Teddy.” “What good friends you have Steve.” “Yes I’m positively positive I have.” “Can I talk to Uncle Stevie please Big Sis?” “No Venkatesh, you can’t. Stevie and I have to talk about grown-up things that you wouldn’t understand. Keep playing with Loser Manager 2011 on your Xbox that Uncle Stevie bought you for your birthday. He devised the game all by himself you know.” “I’m fed up with playing that game Big Sis. Everytime I play as Keanland in the international version I lose. Am 4-0 down to the Solomon Islands after only 4 minutes. Still it’s realistic I suppose.” “ Well go and play with ‘Indian Road Truckers’ I bought for your brother.” “Shan’t, he always keeps the Lisa Kelly doll for himself”. Boo hoo.... “I’m fed up with football Big Sis, I’ve always dreamed of owning a tiddlywinks team. Please buy me one or I’ll cry......” “Shush little one, your dream has come true, I’m already in negotiations with Mr Kilby .......” Happy Christmas!

hawaii 5-0 wrote:agree Hawaii the more managers that come out supporting him are just glad that one of the relegation spots is already taken (sad i know) and also they think they have got 3 points already. it will take a miracle for us to get out of this situation. He is using the so called support from the other managers to detract from his failings. I just cannot understand how someone can be so "thick skinned" and not take on board that the majority of supporters vocal or silent want him gone. if you look at his body language on the interviews, to my observance he is lying. he is now clutching at straws saying he has the support from the other managers. The media in whatever form do not like blackburn rovers, never have done since Jack Walker put his money into the club, because he (in their opinion was buying success) now we have man city...and where are the shouts of you are only trying to buy success??? but because they are man city and "bigger" than rovers it doesnt matter.! I am totally sick of the media in whatever shape or form "blackburn bashing" we earned our right to be in this league over past seasons. It is only now that we have a poor manager and owners who dont care that we are now in freefall. I am dreading the time when they are investigated and found to be as corrupt as the rumours suggest and we start the next season in the championship (barring a miracle we may survive) on a points deduction for going into administration or worse that we are totally bankrupt and cannot function at all.... just wish the other prem managers would look at the whole total situation . 135 years as a club destroyed in 1 year so very sad.. all rovers fans should unite to rid the club of these evil parasites...
cant believe the reporters havent picked up on kean's latest interview. apparently he chooses to put more weight behind the comments of fellow managers than he does his own fans, local mp's, local radio and local press. well thats good to know. at least he has finally admitted he doesnt really care what the people with the clubs best interests at heart think. no, he's more interested in the views of newcastle man utd and everton managers..
as for old red nose, did he have the same views on utd fans protesting against their owners?
