Ferguson: Blackburn Rovers fans will regret the boos
11:40am Friday 30th March 2012 in Football
By Andy Cryer, Blackburn Rovers reporter
FERGUSON
MANCHESTER United boss Alex Ferguson believes a lot of Blackburn Rovers supporters will be regretting the criticisms aimed at Steve Kean earlier this season.
Ahead of United’s Ewood Park visit on Monday, Ferguson has championed Kean’s attempts at keeping Rovers in the Premier League – insisting he now deserves “100 per cent praise from everyone”.
Rovers entertain the league leaders still just three points clear of the drop zone and, with Bolton, QPR, Wolves and Wigan all in action before they play, could yet be back in the bottom three before United’s visit.
Having come under heavy fire earlier in the season, Kean’s Rovers have picked up in recent months, including a stunning 3-2 win at Old Trafford.
“I am sure a lot of them are saying to themselves, ‘I wish I hadn’t done that’,” said Ferguson of the Blackburn fans.
“Things can change. You have to dig in and not let it get to you. Now no-one is talking about fans having protest marches.
“He has held his dignity very well and deserves 100 per cent praise from everyone, including his own supporters.
“He has shown his mettle in times when it was difficult for him.”

Keep your nose out fergie! you was the first to slag the rovers hierachy off for getting rid of sam...why do yoy speak like kean has turned everything around? we are still in danger of relegation!! football is full of opinions which change by the game. I am, just like many others, the first to slag off a player if he isnt putting a shift in but if he pops up 5 minutes later with a wonderful goal or great last ditch challenge i will also be the first to sing his name and praise him. Same goes for the manager... if we are in the sh*t then he deserves the flack! If we start to progress then people will bacl off and praise him. But lets be honest... any praise is a long way off for stevie boy! You two enjoy your drinks after the match... A drink driver loses all dignity in my eyes.

Kean needs to tell Hoilett to run at Ferdinand all the game , he hates playing against small skillful players so we are sure to get a penalty at least off him...
get the tactics right, get the best team selection and get the fans behind the team and it could be one nightmare of a night for Fergie again..

I for one dont regret anything that has been said or done towards Kean and the idiots that back him, but at this moment in time all I care about is backing the team and club 110% week in week out and if that support helps the team stave off relegation by a small percentage then I can hold my head up high and know I did my best.

HOW CAN FERGIE DOWNTALK ANY CLUB HE PLAYS BEFOREHAND AND GET AWAY WITH IT? SURELY THIS IS FAN INCITEMENT?
HOW CAN A PREMIER LEAGUE MANAGER WITH A STAGGERING DRINK PROBLEM STILL MAINTAIN POSITION AND RESPECT? HE WAS ABSOLUTELY HAMMERED BEFORE THE BILBAO GAME AND HIS TEAM LOOSE, BUT NO-ONE BATS AN EYELID THAT THEY MAY HAVE WON HAD HE BEEN SOBER.
FINE HIM, HE SHOULD BE FINED FOR SUCH ARROGANT COCKY BEHAVIOUR. HES A TERRIBLE MANAGER, HES BEEN HANDED CASH AND QUALITY PLAYERS FOR YEARS AND YEARS, EVEN STEVE KEAN COULD HAVE THE TROPHY HE HAS.....
IF YOU WANT TO PROOVE YOURSELVE FERGIE... GET DOWN TO WOLVES AND SHOW US HOW YOU CAN WIN THE PREM WITH THEM... NAH... DIDN'T THINK SO...

Its no point doing protests that are as effective as a chocolate teapot. The ST renewal is the big one for me and I do fear Kean remaining will see fans split and Ewood half empty. You simply can't behave the way he has this last 18 months and expect to stay - but thats just my view. After we had 20,000 ST's 2 years ago they have really screwed it up!

Why would you boo Phil Jones? The lad did his best for you and made the club good money by bettering himself with a move to a much bigger club. In a similar way I will always be thankful for what Coyle did for Burnley.
With regards to Kean the way you behaved as a group of supporters was nothing short of a disgrace. Personally I think you will stay up and I hope he makes you all eat a big slice of humble pie. Who would you have got to replace him - Terry Connor?

Didn't get a chance to post yesterday and wanted to say well done on reaching the youth cup final. There was a clear difference in 'Professionalism' between the 2 teams and a couple of players stood out for both sides.

Its no point doing protests that are as effective as a chocolate teapot. The ST renewal is the big one for me and I do fear Kean remaining will see fans split and Ewood half empty. You simply can't behave the way he has this last 18 months and expect to stay - but thats just my view. After we had 20,000 ST's 2 years ago they have really screwed it up!

I'm sure many fans will be doing what I'm doing - that is cheering Rovers on at every game I attend and hoping they stay up. I shall not boo Jones, I never boo any opposing player and certainly not a good player from down the road in Chorley.
As to protests, I have already returned the letter to renew my season ticket, saying
"As a loyal Rovers fan for 50 years, I shall not renew my season ticket and will not do so as long as Venkys and Kean are in charge"

You will have to excuse mcClaret and his chums for joining in on rovers postings. It would seem burnleys season is allready over with nothing to play for again.
For you guys I think it is essential to remain there this season more than ever as Venky's will sell everything if the worst was to happen. If any of the current bottom 3 escape I will be surprised. At least I get a local game at Wigwam!
Have a good weekend chaps, time for a well earned pint.

Former Blackburn defender Christopher Samba is finding times tough with his new club Anzhi Makhachkala in Russia.
Samba has been subject to racial abuse plus having banana’s thrown at him.
Outrageous behaviour from the Russian spectators and from a country who is hosting the next World Cup would you believe.
Blackburn is probably not such a bad place after all Chris!

As financial director Karen Silk’s cost cutting continues apace there is maybe one notable survivor, Myles Anderson (above) son of disgraced agent Jerome (the man who ruined Blackburn Rovers) Anderson.
With Ruben Rochina unable to even get onto the bench in fear that Rovers will have to pay him hefty appearance money, does Myles still survive with a premiership contract?
His previous squad number 34 has been allocated to Jake Keane. And his latest squad number 38 does not appear in the Rovers match day programme. Anderson’s name is also omitted, is this a ploy to take him out of the limelight?
Perhaps Myles has departed or is injured and his contract thrown in the bin or is the failed ex Leyton Orient youth team player still on Blackburn Rovers pay roll?
Perhaps the Lancashire Telegraph could investigate. But perhaps not, as Jerome Anderson appears to have Editor Kevin Young firmly in his pocket!
Or have I missed something, quite possibly, so shoot me down in flames.
But answers please.

First and foremost I am a supporter and though the games I can attend are few and far between, if I could go to all matches then I would never choose NOT go to watch the Rovers.

Even despite all the rubbish that has gone on since the sell-out, even though we lost so many games, even though Kean still has not gone yet....I really envy Rovers fans that go and watch the team every week. My last game was Stoke at Ewood on New Year and even though we got beat two nil - I loved the match day experience of being there and shouting for my team. Shouting at the tele or the computer will never replace the real thing! So nay no never no boycott for me...but respect to you and all who think the boycott is the right thing to do.

What prescribed medicine are you taking? Where did I say Rovers would be better off without Jones? I was possibly Jones’s biggest fan and was gutted when he was sold, but I’m savvy enough to realise it was inevitable and Rovers could not fulfil is ambitions, someone without ambition may find that hard to understand!….. like I said anyone who boos the boy is an idiot, then again idiots booed Shearer on his returns….the reason rovers lifted the EPL and gave Rovers fans those unbelievable days that no one could have dream of…..go on givert82 surprise me did you boo Sherarer as well ;-)
