Blackburn Rovers keeper Robinson doubtful for Liverpool trip

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.

Another player it would seem who doesn't want to play for Steve Kean.

2:51pm Fri 23 Dec 11

The more games we lose, the more players "get injured" and cannot play.
-
The bald slaphead thinks that when he gets all his players fit, rovers will start winning again.
-
That would be the case slaphead, if any of them actually wanted to play for you.
-
Expect a series of other senior players getting injured until slaphead is sacked.
-
I actually think the players are embarrassed to play for him and know they will most likely lose and concede every game, because this man is a clueless kitman who is the puppet of the Indian fraudsters!!!

When do you think the Indian Fraudsters will actually come to the UK and sort this mess out?
-
They are probably right now sulking in their palace, whilst being advised on what to do next by another self interested agent.

Oh dear when will the tide turn for S K?

Woner if the other Premier League Managers would agree to support S K by postponing Rovers matches until his squad is fit?

The people I feel sorry for are not the paid staff but the fans who have paid £40+ for a ticket - they have every right to make their views known

Robbo gave a thunbs up sign to the fans at Brochhall this morning. He's probably been dropped by slime-ball Kean.

moh says...
3:28pm Fri 23 Dec 11

Robbos form has not beeen good recently. His reflexes are letting him down. The rest may help him. Many players seem worn out and as Samba said the players are down conceding important goals in last minutes.

J.C - Rishton says...
3:31pm Fri 23 Dec 11

Kean would "love it" if Robbo was out injured for the next 2 games - why ?? - because he knows we'll lose anyway so it gives him more amunition to is excuse of "If it wern't for those pesky injuries we'd have won today at Old Trafford".

No doubt he'll ingore the fact that most other teams in the league also have injuries !!

Is he EVER going to accept ANY resposability for the fact that we have 10 points (yes 10 points !!) from 17 matches or is it always, injuries/mistakes/re
fereeing decisions/luck that means we fail to win virtually every week ?

DEFINATELY no injury, he's refusing to play for Kean.

tpreece01 says...
3:48pm Fri 23 Dec 11

The only thing doubtful is his injury. More likely that he has just given up hope and is no longer willing to play for Kean.

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.

But Kean has said, on numerous occasions over the last few months, that Hoilett WILL be signing, in the next 24/48 hours if i'm not mistaken. In fact, just the other week, Kean said he was desperate to sign. Surely he wasn't fibbing, was he?

I am getting to the stage where I am past caring.

I wonder how many of 4000 who bought the 3 games for £20 are queuing up for half season tickets?

Good job the 14000 season ticket holders acn not get a half season rebate on their tickets

Come January there will be a mass exodus from Ewood Park, we'll be lucky if there are enough players to scrape 11 men together. After recent events off the pitch with our illustrious owners, it wouldn't surprise me if Venky's only bought the club to launder fraudulant money through it. Venky's out for god sake, it is the only way Rovers will have a chance. GET RID OF VENKYS.

ChrisSutton says...
4:49pm Fri 23 Dec 11

As I predicted a month ago, Robbo will be leaving in Jan. He is one of the more outspoken members of our senior players and does not have faith in golden boy Kean.

This sudden injury does seem suspicious given rumours he had a go at Kean during the Bolton match at half time.

Imagine our side playing after January without Robbo, Hoilett, Samba and maybe more.

Very scary times. The most infuriating thing is eventually the national media will catch onto the fact that Venkys are asset stripping, yet it will be too late by then.

King Kenny - please go easy on us - show a bit of charity -no more then 3-0 please?

Rovers fans - if you are going to Anfield (oh the memories of 1995 - thanks Uncle Jack) please do not boo Saurez - if KK says he is not racist and John Barnes says it is a cultural difference and that should be taken into account then its good enough for me. Besides Evra is a nasty piece of work just like his manager.

No way is Robbo injured. Reason he is not playing is probably more to do with the 'YouTube' clip of David Gest in Robbo's box against Swansea holding up a 0% Kean/Venky's shirt.

Hope Paul Robinson can play - he understands the Rovers/Fans plight and its about time more of the senior squad came out of the cupboard and told us exactly what they think of Kean !
Come January there will be an exodous of players and again the statements from Kean/Venkys about the senior squad backing them will prove to be just anoter lie!!

Bad news for venkys if he is injured they cant sell him in january. I can see samba hoilett robbo leaving. God help us from these dark days at ewood. Anuradha wont sack kean cos he gets a big pay packet and is leaving kean to take abuse so he resigns so she doesn't have to pay him penny if he quits. But even if we get relagated kean still won't leave. He takes the abuse because when he gets sacked he becomes a multi millionaire.

Mr-Blueanwhites says...
6:02pm Fri 23 Dec 11

Under Big Sam we did well avoiding injuries but since Kean took over we have had a lot. May be a coincide but I think it's more likely poor training & conditioning. With the number of goals conceded in the last ten minutes of matches points to a lack of fitness which in turn also increases injuries.

We need to boycott a home game and put the pressure on Venky's. I can't totally blame Kean from not wanting to walk away from a couple of £m. We need to pressure Venky's into either sorting the club or selling and cutting their losses.

Sums up what we all thought, that is that robbo had a bust up with kean during the Bolton game he won't play for is again I don't think personally, some fans on here don't really understand the trouble the club is in right now and the lack of respect certain known players have for kean, I feel within the next four weeks the club will be in meltdown

Do not doubt you for one second here, I am lost for words what is being allowed to happen to one of the oldest and finest football clubs in the world.

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.

Maybe someone could come up with some sort of plan/idea, which would allow us in some way, to discredit the Venky brand worldwide? They have f***** us up, so let us reciprocate?

If someone can come up with a sensible plan, I will make it my mission in life to discredit their business, and to try to bring about their downfall, until my dying day.

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.

Of course, now that Ferguson has put his wee comments into the media to make himself sound "PC" and a concerning individual in situations with where there may be unfair treatment.
Now Kean will surely see this has a great reference for his CV and will certainly be mentioned when speaking to the Venky,s next.

I can see an extension to his contract coming through.....

This sums it all up. Doomed!
Blackburn had a narrow escape just before the Venky's takeover, with the board turning down Ahsan Ali Syed, who then turned his attention to Racing Santander.

Syed is now missing and wanted by Interpol in connection with accusations of financial fraud. Miguel Angel Revilla, the president of the Cantabrian region, had this revealing nugget to offer the Daily Mail a few months ago.

"He had never been to a match in his life," he said. "I'm by his side in the directors' box and I am dying with laughter. A defender gives the ball back to the keeper and he applauds like a maniac. He doesn't know anything about football."

Syed's football nous was apparent in an interview he gave to an Indian newspaper after the Santander takeover. "I hold no ill feeling towards anyone associated with Blackburn," he said. "In fact, I can't wait to meet them on the football pitch, and wouldn't it be great if it was in the final of the Champions League!"

You couldn't make it up. Sadly for Blackburn fans, Venky's appear to be just as clueless, arranging a friendly in India in October and calling Kean to Pune for meetings.

Ferguson takes the opportunity to have a ceap dig at the Rovers fans.
Not unusal to have Mr. Ferguson making a comment without noting the FACTS FIRST.
Just has we hear mny times from his after match comments.
Of course there is this "boys club" **** fellow Scottish support from a few Premier managers...yet I imagine the truth is they all are so much in appreciation that Rovers are this guaranteed "solf" touch at home has well as away this season and they are more then happy to see that continued until May.
Mr. Ferguson....PLEASE GET THE FACTS FIRST BEFORE ENGAGING THE MOUTH....WE HAVE ENOUGH PUTTING UP WITH YOUR FELLOW SCOTSMAN MR KEAN IN THAT RESPECT !!!
I suggest you read the posting from "Haslem-Hasslem" and understanding the suffering that has escalated over the last 12 months because of the glaring incompetence of the Venky,s and Kean.
At least Kenny Dalglish had the wisdom to not take make a cheap & thoughtless comment.

So there we have it - Robinson and Salgado patently dont want anything to do with Steve Kean - so they are excommunicated.
.
Obviously, the new Dennis Irwin is not ready, but I expect Myles Anderson to make an explosive debut for Rovers.
.
5 defenders out? - What tosh, who let Andrews go? Who let Emerton go?
.
When the Rovers eventually shrugs off its mortal coil, it will be fascinating to ear the horror stories as they come out.
.
As for Ferguson - buck off! Bucko!

Amazing, 12 months ago Venkys were saying they fired Allardyce off for negative football and wanted a top four club, even though we were in a mid table position and not ever likely to be in any danger. Now we are in serious trouble, playing even worse football and at the bottom of the table and they are doing absolutely nothing. They are not playing Salgado because Kean said he is injured, yet the player has to go to the papers and says he is fully fit. Looks to me like they are trying to save money by not playing him, and hiring a cheap manager at the cost of premiership points. Well I can see their motives and they can't be stopped unless we stop attending games and don't pass on your tickets to others otherwise it won't make a difference. So hit "them" in the pocket, where it will really hurt, seeing as how they are so money conscious.

On the Liverpool channel tonight we had Super sub David Fairclough having a go at us,Kennys son Paul Dalglish was there and two Liverpool supporters and to be fair to them they more or less stuck up for us,but not Fairclough who had a very anti Rovers stance at what had gone.

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?

Hope Liverpool and United put a ball boy in the back of our net otherwise our keeper will be suffering from a bad back....thats a guarantee!I am curious to see what Keans excuses are after we get hammered next week.....should be good, maybe he will bring the whole family to the press conference this time and not just his son!

I have said this on another story here online:
DONT GO TO THE NEXT MATCH,
I had a member of the BRFC ticket staff ringing me up offering me a half season ticket, I explained whilst Mr Kean is in charge there is no way I would by a ticket and please dont take this personaly, the lady replied, dont worry I have got used to it.
They just want to screw us for as much as they can before they flog us of as a championship club.

You really couldn't make this up, Kean's not beyond finding a reason to drop him just to have another attempt at soliciting sympathy when we get hammered bigtime tomorrow.. Wish at least some of the players would find the balls to speak out about the kn@bhead Kean........

Besides Evra is a nasty piece of work just like his manager. . 33rd......
Well said Morst. But I think Rovers fans have enough to boo about. Shouldn`t be an issue. In fact rovers fans should cheer a lad that hates these pa£i basta(ds as much as we do rite now

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...

Whatever you sow you will reap. I look forward to the day when these criminals, Anderson and Kean are sent down for 7 years each, considering they are lucky to be in a British prison. Unlike their partners in crime the Rao family, who will be serving 30 years each in a dismal indian dungeon with no sanitation.

why the hell are all you rovers fans moaning,all premiership clubs go through this kind of thing,even man utd have been relegated,so get used to it ,you dont have a divine right to stay in the premiership, you have to fight for that right, and you lot lost the fight when you appointed MR BEAN,sorry mr kean as your manager,Yes i am a burnley fan and i feel very sad that a club off your tradition is being run by muppets like the venkys who dont care about hopw passionate all east lancs supporters are,just about the money,Their big mistake was sacking BFS, If you do go down and sadly it's looking that way at least you might get rid off you muppet manager and owners,A MERRY XMAS AND A HAPPIER NEW YEAR 2012 TO ALL YOU ROVERS FANS FROM A TRUE CLARET FAN,who respects all those who are protesting,keep it up.

Almost unbelievably, been down Burnley for a few mad Friday beers, and even I couldn't believe it, but a lot of Burnley have sympathy with your plight, I think the wider implications of what's happening with football, but to hear hardcore burnley lads saying they think what's happening to you lot shows what a bad situation your in,

But Kean has said, on numerous occasions over the last few months, that Hoilett WILL be signing, in the next 24/48 hours if i'm not mistaken. In fact, just the other week, Kean said he was desperate to sign. Surely he wasn't fibbing, was he?
I don't think he will be fibbing, he says it as it is. Pass him another spiked drink please. LOL

Because he's more like the new Chris Moyles. He is on big wages and pays his father big rent.

You could call him a big rentboy.

Venkys and Kean must be investigated NOW! There is obviously something very very rotten at the core. It will all come out. Kean stabbed Big Sam. Time for comeuppance shortly. Watch this space. There is a God! He never fails. Rovers will be back in the Premiership in 2014 less these thieves. Fans time to buy the club!

Simple solution to this nonsense. Fans invade pitch before or afer game in protest. Demand Kean OUT! Police will call off game and advise club in public interest Rovers games cannot be held till Keans sacked. Simple but effective. Oh and bonus is Venkys get fined by FA for crowd control. No Brainer!
