Kean focuses on the positives

STEVE Kean insists his Blackburn Rovers side have to focus on the positives - despite admitting his side were off the pace again this evening.

The Rovers boss conceded his side were not at their best as they crashed 2-1 at home to Middlesbrough but reiterated his belief they would get promoted.

He said: "I felt they asked more of us than we did of them. Our performance was not great tonight but I would prefer to focus on the positives.

"If we continue with the points average we have got so far this season, we will get promoted and that is what we all want.

"Even though we did not play well tonight, if Scott Dann's header had gone in or we got the penalty we should have, we might even have got more than a draw."

The only thing I am positive is that you are not going to get another decent job as soon as you leave here

It was a very poor performance, not worthy of promotion. However, we are in a great position still. There are no positives to take from tonight's game but I guess the overall start to the league has been acceptable. Winning the Championship is not an achievement though, Kean brought us down and won't have achieved anything until we're a stable mid-table club again.

Mr Kean - 'pis--d off' with your positives - same old dribble as last season - tonights performance abysmal with no positives what so ever - even the 'spartans' chanting Kean out!
The defensive display under guidance from Hendry absolute rubbish and your tactical input 'cr-p' - so Mr Kean forget your so called positives your living in cuckoo land!!
OUT WITH KEAN HENDRY AGNEW SINGH VENKYS IN WITH THOUSANDS OF FANS WIN OR LOOSE

He prefers to focus on positives then talks bout if dann had scored and if we had got the penalty!!! Ifs and buts have always been the basis of his thinking. If you had bought a decent defence and if you and youyr maye Hendry could organise a defence, we wouldn't keep conceding goals Steve. What a moron

I was seething watching kean just stood there blankly like a muppet all 2nd half tonight.

Formica barely touched the ball when he came on. And why was nothing changed all the time we were 2-0 down and getting dominated at home by Middlesbrough?

Murphy was awful tonight. He thinks he's some kind of conductor, arrogantly flailing his arms ordering people around as if he's some kind of footballing professor. Is he a deep lying playmaker? If so, he's not fit to lace tugay's boots. I don't understand what his attributes are and what his job is.

The true captain of our team is robbo. We were only effective when he was the playmaker. What does that tell you about how far we've come since kean came in?

If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too:
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or, being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or being hated don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise;

If you can dream---and not make dreams your master;
If you can think---and not make thoughts your aim,
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same:.
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build'em up with worn-out tools;

If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings,
And never breathe a word about your loss:
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on!"

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings---nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much:
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And---which is more---you'll be a Man, my son!

10:55pm Fri 21 Sep 12

The hole in this donut is bigger than the whole f*****g thing. There were no positives from what I saw. We couldn't keep the ball. We couldn't string 3 passes together. The long ball always went to the boro. The only positive is that it's one more nail in your coffin, but how many nails will it take. The results before tonight were fake cos you been very very lucky. This squad is good enough but without the donut.

So it appears many of us "Blackburn Supporters" are deserting the club!
Perhaps playing to an empty stadium will allow players and staff alike to concentrate on their jobs - instead of being distracted by those pretending to be fans - and knowledgeble ones at that!!!

Kean you are the most arrogant, insensitive, ineffective Manager ever to hold the job at Rovers. Why on earth Venkys stick with you is completely beyond me. Maybe, just maybe tonight will give them the wake up call they need and it will be the beginning of the end for you

It just hurts too much.

I cannot go to Ewood again until he has gone.

Maybe those that said that they would welcome a financial collapse and the following administration that would result in the demise of venky's and their monster kean and leave us pure once again in whichever league we are demoted to were right all along. .

It would appear that, as far as excuses go, normal service has been resumed. "If Scott Dann's header had gone in or we got the penalty we should have..." Really? If we'd strengthened the defence during the transfer window or had a manager who was capable of learning from his mistakes...

I think it is absolutely shameful how Steve Kean as good as dismisses tonight's result by making a reference to our current points total. It doesn't excuse such a pitiful performance, especially when you consider that those points were accumulated in spite of equally shocking displays.

Speaking of normal service being resumed, did Kean freeze after we went two-nil down on the hour mark? Surely that would have been the time to hook Murphy or Etuhu - who were both dreadful - and bring on Rochina to form a three-pronged attack with Rhodes and Nuno Gomes.

ANY MANAGER WOULD HAVE CHANGED THE GAME AT 2-0 DOWN AND BROUGHT ANOTGER STRIKER ON BUT YOUR SO INEPT YOU JUST STAND THERE ON THE TOUCHLINE, SILENT.

Yes what's happened to the BRAG proof and FA investigation into wrong doings by Venkys\Kean\Anderson et al that was so explosive?

Positives:

Grant Hanley, he was spot on. If he continues to play like that then I think we should have him as first choice in centre of defence. His insight and reactions were as I said simply spot on. I am sorry if people don't agree with this but there you go.

Fabio Nunes, a lot tougher than he looks and a great engine,certainly a good degree of skill too.

Robinson, he was busy tonight but he did a good job, no doubt.

Givet....yes!

Blackburn Yoof says...
12:34am Sat 22 Sep 12

According to someone on BRFCS who spoke to the match commander there were actually 10600 that went through turnstiles, 713 of which were Boro fans. So less than 10k Rovers fans.

I wonder which big dirty liar came up with the official attendance of 13,500?

McClaret says...
12:38am Sat 22 Sep 12

hello chaps. First time of writing on your side of things this season and only just seen tonights result. No idea about he performance etc. What has surprised me is how much your board has backed you, fully expected a kind of Charlton situation but has not happened. You are well equipped for the long season ahead and am sure you will be in the shake up if not above it. A league where class moments often decide a scrappy affair and you have the players to do it. Wish my lot held similar ambition!

Blackburn Yoof says...
12:39am Sat 22 Sep 12

Glen Mullan has just stated on BRFCS that Kean told the Venky's in the summer that the protests against him were funded by John & Simon Williams. Kean really is the lowest of the low.

Blackburn played like Middlesbrough did on Tuesday, the only commitment that I saw tonight was from Robinson and Hanley, the rest of the team ran round like venkys headless chickens.

2 more games to lose and Kean has gone.

The little commotion in the Boro end tonight was because 2 Boro fans had a "KEAN OUT" Banner, the police took exception to it and CS sprayed one of the lads, after he took a swing at a copper, not good.

Pedersen and Markus as a team on the left side next match! That is a receipt for glory. If the opposition goes for covering that side though, it will leave us a lot of room on the right side, giving for example, Ribeiro and Formica(Kazim, Orr, Lowe) a chance to work down that flank. Feed Nuno and Jordan and we will score.

I must admit i'm getting a tad tired of this Spartans/boycotters ****. There is a real rift developing between these two groups and to be honest it's fecking pathetic! We're supposed to be Blackburn fans FFS!
We all want that d*ckhead Kean to go and we need to stand together not divided as we are! The way i see it, those that still go to the games at Ewood are taking the protest straight to Kean as we heard last night. Those that stay away are keeping the gates receipts down which makes this a two pronged attack on the establishment. Is this not a good way to see it? Stop fecking arguing about who is doing the right thing and work together..... or this once proud football club....... is fecked!

So despite a third season of evidence that Kean hasn't got the slightest clue on how to organise a defence, or an attack to penetrate a top-half Championship side, your advice is that he should be only be ditched after we have lost "several" (how many? 5/6/7?) games on the trot. By that time we will be looking for somebody keep us out of the relegation spots for a third season running.

Your luck has run out Kean. If we had been given a proper manager we wouldn't be in this division in the first place.

the worst performance i have seen. A group of players who clearly don't play for kean.Murphy and etuhu were dreadful . The defence left exposed by a crap midfield. Bradley Orr the worst full back in b.r.f.c history. As for the manager enough said. Come on shebby the slate is filthy now get rid before its to late. W***ker kean hendry out. Tugay please or salgado

Rambunctious Boy says...
7:57am Sat 22 Sep 12

These last 2 games have given a perfect illustration of how talentless a manager Kean is. Boro with an abject away record and a Barnsley team of journey men were better organised, held there shape better and carried more threat. The result was that our team of 'superstars' (in championship terms) could not manage even 50% possession at home. Mr Shaw is an experienced football man whatever we think of him. He has experience of hiring and firing managers and will know the difference between a performing team and one relying on moments of magic from individual players. Whether he has the authority to act is another matter.

Captain Dreckley says...
7:58am Sat 22 Sep 12

Same rubbish as last season from Kean, focus on the positives ignore the problems, fail to deal with them and carry on losing. Fact rovers cannot defend for toffee. One clean sheet in all competitions is not what wins promotion. Arsenal bring in Steve bold and that defence is water tight, we bring in Hendry and its a bigger shambles than last season. Only one solution, Kean and his court of coaching clowns out now and a proper management and coaching team in before we start losing ground
Kean out now

bring back the good old days says...
8:04am Sat 22 Sep 12

Although this first defeat does not signify the beginning of the end (that's a little ludicrous), yet again we have the same old patter of positives etc. coming out. This after everyone has witnessed his ineptness yet again when faced with a 'situation'.
This is what galls everyone.
It is still possible though that Kean could still make a fist of it in this div., but I will not be convinced of this for some time yet.

8:05am Sat 22 Sep 12

A 3 hour car drive and a 900 mile flight to endure the most miserable experience I have ever had at Ewood Park. A woeful display by the slowest team I ever seen in the most miserable atmosphere. You would think Rovers were bottom of the league and not top. Players quite clearly afraid of making a mistake, every slight mistake greeted with groans and howls of derision, Danny Murphy has never played well against us or for us and is a very early target for the boo-boys. A section in the Darwen End were determined to get us beat right from the beginning. It must be a truly miserable experience playing for Rovers.

There is the obvious rift between management, owners and fans, but there is a even bigger rift between the fans. We are a wreckage of a football club. If 3000 were chanting "Kean Out" another 7000 were very very unhappy about the chants. I believe at Bristol many Rovers fans were ejected from the ground for fighting amongst each other. Some people are boycotting matches, but many more are not going because of the miserable atmosphere.

We may recover on the pitch, although I doubt it, but Rovers as a club will never be the same again. Venkys may have been inexperienced owners who appointed an inexperienced manager into a job that was too difficult for him, but as yet there is still no evidence of financial wrong doing. You people from Brag carried on with your demonstrations even though you knew the majority of fans were against them . David Moyes said you were vile and disgusting, Alex Ferguson said you were a symptom of modern society, for once I agree with him.

I and many thousands of Rovers fans hold the people at Brag and the imbeciles who follow you responsible for turning our club into a wreckage. I hope you rot in hell.

While I agree with you that the atmosphere is bad, and I can only talk from my view on tv as I'm one who has chosen not to renew, I can't agree with your point of blame. BRAG and protesting fans probably have contributed to the Venkys forking out money to strengthen the squAd. You obviously don't live in England or go to each home game. If you had, you would know how hard its been to stomach Venkys and Keans lies. Whether they have been legal with money or not, they have been immoral and incompetent and irresponsible with our club. Don't paint them as anything less. The one thing I agree with is that those who have decided to go are fools for doing so and then chanting. They would achieve more staying away. My other half won't go because of the atmosphere last season. It sounds as though its much the same.

Sorry Kean. as one of the fans that still comes to games. Last night performance was that bad the two positives I took from it was the first half is only 45 minutes long and the fact I could leave at half time and sit in the car until full time (couldnt get off the car park) If you can sell that performance to venky's then you need to be up for car salesman of the decade.

ABSOLUTELY DISGRACEFUL performance

Some more if and buts:

This weekend 3 teams can get above us with a draw, another 2 can get above us with a win. Best case we finish this round of games in 2nd, worst case in 5th.

After which we have 2 away games to negotiate, one against promotion chasing Forest. By which time we will be outside the play-off places with Kean in charge.

KEAN OUT
FOOTBALL MANAGER IN

Here's hoping this bit if gossip is true,

That's only the first piece of the jigsaw, who would Venkys then bring in Hendry? God help us, it's certainly not just a case of sacking the idiot that's in charge it's who replaces him that's important,

Who do you want? Or more to the point witch plonker would join this circus, no it's not as easy as it looks to clean this mess up.

Before I comment I would like to offer a huge apology to lancs pensioner and darener, boycots maybe the only way to go unless venky's have an advisor sat watching that game and saying thats not even sunday league standard.

As for a one game boycot I wont go back until the standard of football improves, id prefer going down pleasington and giving my cash to the man of the match on pitch 3 before giving it to ewood.

Well it had to come to an end sometime the way we play and the fact we have a very poor defense and a goalkeeper who gets beat at his near post.and nearly scored?

I do believe unless he goes into the loan market a la Bolton we will struggle every match by conceeding goals.Orrr was useless again did you see how their winger just passed him like he wasnt there Orr did not show any concern that the guy nearly scored! Who can we play at right back if he is dropped? Kean states the squad is good enough but the fans no better and its about time the club listened to us or they will pay the consequences of their inactions.

Well done to the Spartans for keeping up the KEAN OUT chants. That was good to hear. However, the most effective action has to be that being taken by the Boycotters. The decision to remove Kean lies in the hands of the Venky's and if you put yourself in their shoes I think it is fairly obvious that they would much prefer to have the stadium full of dissenting fans, who have paid to enter, to having an empty stadium because of the boycott. Football is a business to Venkys and nothing hurts them more than the loss of gate receipts and the loss of sponsorship that follows it. Not only that, the empty stadium is personally embarrassing to Venkys in a way that chants against Kean are not because it is an enormous advert to the World that Venkys are failures, which is damaging to their other business interests and hurts their inflated egos. Believe me the boycott will be worrying Venky's greatly and puts the greatest pressure on Keans position. I would not be surprised when they get the match report if they look for the attendance before they look for the score.

There is the obvious rift between management, owners and fans, but there is a even bigger rift between the fans. We are a wreckage of a football club. If 3000 were chanting "Kean Out" another 7000 were very very unhappy about the chants. I believe at Bristol many Rovers fans were ejected from the ground for fighting amongst each other. Some people are boycotting matches, but many more are not going because of the miserable atmosphere.

We may recover on the pitch, although I doubt it, but Rovers as a club will never be the same again. Venkys may have been inexperienced owners who appointed an inexperienced manager into a job that was too difficult for him, but as yet there is still no evidence of financial wrong doing. You people from Brag carried on with your demonstrations even though you knew the majority of fans were against them . David Moyes said you were vile and disgusting, Alex Ferguson said you were a symptom of modern society, for once I agree with him.

I and many thousands of Rovers fans hold the people at Brag and the imbeciles who follow you responsible for turning our club into a wreckage. I hope you rot in hell.

By that time we will be looking for somebody keep us out of the relegation spots for a third season running.
Ask how many other championship clubs would be unhappy with 14 points out of 7 games, only one loss? I won't argue Kean's record in the Prem, but so far this season you've had one of the best starts at this level for many years. Venkys put their hands in their pockets, and gave Rovers a transfer fund most championship clubs can only dream of. You're top of the division. Yet one defeat, and you're moaning as though it's the end of the world.

No wonder the rest of football are starting to think of Rover's fans as a laughing stock.

It's quite clear that rovers have problems in conceding goals
It got us relegated and where shipping them in at the moment
So there is no change there, the reason is its the same personnel
Robbo, who is past it and was so 18mths ago, there is not 1 prem manager who would swap goalkeepers and not for the wages robbo gets
Orr,wouldn't be considered in the top 40 and thats being generous
Givet , would proberbly get into most squads as cover in this league, but not a chance in the prem
Dann, is a reasonable centre half but immediately feels and shows it when he comes under pressure ,if there where others who could hold there own, he is a good asset
Olsoon, isn't a defender more of a wing back, he simply gets caught out being to far up the pitch
Hanley and Lowe, are good players who can only improve
Now what do Robbo Dann Givet Olsoon Orr have in common top premiership wage deals and despite transfer rumours , no other clubs would touch them
Nevermind pay a transfer fee
So it boils down to this, WE WILL CONSEED GOALS whilst these players are on the pitch fact they simply aren't good enough

The problem is that the media are still portraying the situation as one in which fans are most to blame. Last night, they frequently highlighted the eagerness in which fans chanted Kean Out, the effect it has on players, how it isn't like a home game, how they don't get behind their team.they put Kean in a sympathetic light saying he can't win with the fans. Venkys hear this and get the wrong message. If those who go only to protest, stayed away for a couple of games, the message would be beter conveyed. Apparently the gate was much lower than that published

Cant see how that is being deluded. Correct me if im wrong, 12th werent we when big sam got the chop after venkys took over, a manager who is proven at keeping teams in the top flight (as he will with west ham). We were averaging 25,000 at ewood, i was happy as were majority of fans, yes we endured hoofball but give me that in the prem over hoofball in the championship with a tactically inept excuse for a manager. Yes the walker trust had to sell but as soon as they sold to venkys we were doomed. Deluded i think not pal, realistic yes

Grant Hanley, he was spot on. If he continues to play like that then I think we should have him as first choice in centre of defence. His insight and reactions were as I said simply spot on. I am sorry if people don't agree with this but there you go.

Fabio Nunes, a lot tougher than he looks and a great engine,certainly a good degree of skill too.

Robinson, he was busy tonight but he did a good job, no doubt.

Givet....yes!
Grant Hanley was easily beaten by Boro's second goal. He did not attempt to go for it and did not make it difficult for their scorer. He needs to concentrate more. I agree Nunes was good and skillful. Also Rhodes has been good in last few games but service to him was poor last night.

We won't be top at the end of this round of games. The issue is Venkys continued support of their deadweight manager. Their stated objective is to get promoted, not to be a contented Championship club.

Kean WILL NOT get his team promoted.

I couldn't give less of sht about what other club's fans or windbag pundits think. The fact is that Kean is a useless tnrd as a manager.

That might be the case but that's because they're as ignorant about the facts as you. Venkys haven't put their hands in their pocket at all. All they have done is put some of the money they made selling players like Jones, Samba, etc. There's a bigger picture here and just because the team is currently at the top of the division doesn't mean that they will be top two come next May. Anyone with half a brain can see beyond the current position and would realise that a team cannot keep having to score 3 or 4 goals every game to win matches. Kean has to be replaced now to give us any chance of promotion this season. It's as simple as that.

In my opinion, Rovers should be about mid table at the moment. I think that before long we will be there.

What a bizarre post!

The level of stress that has produced such an irrational outburst is surely not conducive to good mental health.

I would prescribe at least a season's long avoidance of Ewood Park (boycott).

I would also advise that the poster stops putting the cart before the horse and think about which comes first - the chicken or the egg?

The one thing I do agree with is that the hate between different groups of supporters is no good for any of us and anyone who hopes that their fellow imbeciles rot in hell seriously needs to question their belief that they are the voice of reason.

We all react to traumatic situations in different ways and the unrelenting lunacy of venky's and kean is permeating throughout the whole club - supporters included.

I do not know the answer to how we rid ourselves of those troublesome beasts but I hope that we all can at least understand, if not respect, how our fellow fans decide to act.

If things do not change then the boycott - whatever has motivated it on an individual level - will grow apace.

Instead of focusing on the positives, whatever they may be, perhaps it would be a better idea to concentrate on the negatives, of which there are many, and trying to ensure they do not occur again. Tony Mowbray (a real manager) responded to a 4-1 drubbing on Tuesday by coming to Ewood with a well organised team and a gameplan.

Kean responds to the dreadful performance against Barnsley with an equally abject display. Only this time there was no get out of jail card at the end. A real manager would have spent Wednesday and Thursday working with the team to ensure at the very least an improved performance and if this squad had played to its potential it would have got the three points.

People who blame Rovers supporters for the negative atmosphere need to take a look at themselves. Kean out chants took off once the game was lost . We have been dire in every one of the home games and for the majority of the away games. No wonder people are unhappy with the dross being served up.

Spot on. Venky's should thank their lucky stars we've got a flattering number of points. Even ignoring all the evidence of the last 2 seasons, surely the last 7 league games show we are not playing as a team and Kean has learnt nothing about how to defend. I think Hendry has made us even worse too.

Do it now Venky's or you will lose any chance of automatic promotion.

Yes it is all the fault of the Venky crew and especially Kean and not the fans. The owners created the horrible fans v club situation with keeping Kean in a job and they can end this situation (mostly) by sacking him.

But the fans (both the go's and the no-shows) need to get a grip, nothing is working regards the fans actions, the Kean Out shouts, the pre-match protests, the not going, it is so plain to see that none of it is working towards achieving the objective of getting Kean out.

Not sure what will work....there are no obvious solutions but what is happening now must stop. Maybe we do a full 180 degree turn and start packing the ground and backing the team. Make Ewood a hostile place to come to again for visiting teams, give the players encouragement instead of boos, and yes get 30,000 Rovers fans singing one song together - Kean Ou!t Then perhaps even the seemingly deaf Venkys may hear the message at last.

It as been proved over the last two years that the Kean out chants have no affect. So only a TOTAL boycott can be the way forward. The Venky's are not deaf, but they are surely daft! Nobody in their right mind could keep putting up with Kean and hs cronies antics.

I will never forget Keans buddy McInally calling Rovers fans 'muppets' on skysports in response to our protests about his mate's useless ability as a football manager or Jason Cundy accusing us of making death threats on Kean despite him having no evidence other than Kean's word.

Formica was a better player before and now being used on the wings. He is a not a winger and confidence will only be damaged.

Bruno is not a winger, his confidence will only be damaged.

Vuckevic was a better player before he joined, had some bright moments right at the start and played very well against England in the international. He hasn't been the same since partly because he hasn't played. Where is he now? Our only natural right winger?

If Rochina had given the ball away as many times as Murphy did he would have never played ball again for Rovers. Rochina is our best passer and retains the ball very well despite the perception Kean has created for him.

Why not mirror the formation played against Arsenal and Man UTD when we beat them last year. Has Kean ever thought of that? In those games players like Rochina and Formica were playing in Position.

With Samba, Nzonzi, Hoilett and Yakubu gone plus Nelson, not sure how we have a better squad this year.

So as we are not seen as suggesting change without suggesting replacements / solutions and their possible strengths in being able to turn things around the fans and the team.

You know what that Alan Brazil and Ronnie Orani and company are like.

Alan i think his name was a Blackburn fan was great on the radio during the week but when put on the spot by Mr Brazil did not have examples in order to articulate a reply.

It's Hoddle for me. Would be tactically astute, win over the fans, and be strong enough to stand for what is right.

The only positive that I could see from last night is that Rovers have, individually, got some good players. The problem is they are not a cohesive unit playing as a team. This can only be down to the lack of leadership within the club. We play without inspiration or creativity.

In my opinion, Rovers should be about mid table at the moment. I think that before long we will be there.

If they get a decent manager in now, then given the players we have, we'll go back up. Leave it until Christmas to see how things work out, I'm afraid that it'll be another year in the Championship

Talking of vile and disgusting, I think that quite nicely sums up your final comment.
Not to mention ill informed.

It's a strange theory - sorry, opinion - regarding the cause of the shambolic mess currently called Blackburn Rovers Football Club.

Quite how the supporters' concern for the way the club has been run or a proposed investigation into it can actually be considered to be the reasons for the "wreckage of a football club" is a little odd.

These are reactions to what has happened, not the cause of it.

There may not be any evidence of financial wrong doing (yet), but that is not necessarily the issue. But we wont know until it has been fully investigated, if there is sufficient evidence to suggest one is warranted in the first place.

There probably won't be; as Peter Scudamore said, whatever the shortcomings of the fit and proper test, the FAPL can't be held responsible for the owners turning out to be f@cking useless or for the bizarre decisions they make when running the club.

I don't think there will be any blatant financial impropriety, just naive irresponsible and inept management bordering on the negligent. There have however undoubtedly been some dubious appointments - one in particular - which would not require too much investigation. I kind of hope there have been accountable wrongdoings, if only for the satisfaction of being able to say "see we told you so". It would bring some kind of closure to the whole mess, although where it would leave us would be a worry. Such is the dilemma we face.

So, what can be done? Probably nothing which makes it all the more frustrating.

It is a touch presumptuous to say "many thousand" fans share your view ; unless there is a larger Swiss branch of the Rovers supporters club than I was aware of.

And the majority of the fans being against the protests? The majority may not have actively joined in the protests but that does not automatically mean they did not support them in principle.

Based on the reduced numbers attending games and the reaction of many that do, I would question the accuracy of Swiss Rover's figures whilst his assumptions are just plainly wrong.

A $hite atmosphere and disagreement between fans are the results of two years total mismanagement by the current owners of just about everything related to the club and its supporters, nothing else.

So the 'Kean out' chants, pre-match protests (none so far this season) and booing of the players - from the self-proclaimed Spartans - aren't helping, they only serve to create a disgraceful atmosphere inside the ground? The stay-away fans, who aren't to blame for any of the aforementioned actions, need to get a grip and return to Ewood Park? Your solution, pack the stadium with 30,000 fans to cheer the team on and sing, "Kean out!", as a collective?

Didn't you say the chanting isn't working? Also, how is 30,000 fans calling for Kean's head going to help the players? After all, you're the one who suggested that the players aren't playing for the fans because of the disgraceful atmosphere. The in-fighting that occurs inside the stadium is down to the fact that some fans are chanting and others around them are telling them to shut up. Are you suggesting that those fans who just want to watch the game without any chanting should now start acting like the same people they feel are ruining their match day experience?

So despite a third season of evidence that Kean hasn't got the slightest clue on how to organise a defence, or an attack to penetrate a top-half Championship side, your advice is that he should be only be ditched after we have lost "several" (how many? 5/6/7?) games on the trot. By that time we will be looking for somebody keep us out of the relegation spots for a third season running.
Ask how many other championship clubs would be unhappy with 14 points out of 7 games, only one loss? I won't argue Kean's record in the Prem, but so far this season you've had one of the best starts at this level for many years. Venkys put their hands in their pockets, and gave Rovers a transfer fund most championship clubs can only dream of. You're top of the division. Yet one defeat, and you're moaning as though it's the end of the world. No wonder the rest of football are starting to think of Rover's fans as a laughing stock.
I know what you are saying and how it may look from afar, but this is not all about one game.

It has been a good start on paper but the scorelines alone suggest nothing has changed apart from the quality of opposition. Match reports and comments on here suggest the same. We continue to concede plenty whilst relying on one or two decent players to pull us out of the proverbial; for Rhodes and Nuno Gomes read Hoilett and the Yak.

That cannot last and is not a realistic way to achieve what the owners claim to be their prime objective.

It is a long old season in the Championship and ending the first six games with a one or two point advantage means squat at this early stage.

The fact the owners have (albeit belatedly) thrown some cash around makes it all the more worrying.

There are plenty of teams already more than capable of taking advantage of the slow, disorganised and defensively fragile team we have put out this season and every week for the last eighteen months. This will become more apparent when they look past the supposed big names and the amount of money spent and realise Rovers are actually a bit of a soft touch.

It is a trend which if allowed to continue will result in a very expensive failure. The fate of the club will then be in the hands of our incompetent owners, which, given their efforts to date is very worrying.

Good morning Lancs or bad morning after that last night.
Where did you here Kean will be gone in next 24 hours?
You have no idea how much I hope you are right.
Sorry FBU
Just pub gossip nothing substantial, it can't be long now though, last night was pathetic, rumour (again) has it RU has resigned from the Spartans ha ha he may join me on my boycotting crusade.

Lets all hope the Venkys put us out of our misery soon!!
Earlier post RU definitely seen the light....joining the boycotters. First of many Spartans who will be defecting to the cause!

Boycott or Spartans... Don't make me laugh. how pathetic it makes us sound.
Everyone is entitled to their opinions on what is happening, what should happen and what is actually going to happen but trying to make a divide between the fans is not doing us any good at all.
I personally havnt been on ewood since the fulham game last season (which we actually won with ten men) but have chosen not to go again until keane has gone.
Everyone is entitled to do what they deem best, be it support the club by attending or by not attending. It's the fans call and either way they should not be ridiculed for doing so.

Watching last nights game was embarrassing. we were clueless, awful, disorganised, slow (apart from the two up front who chased everything)
It reminded me of the spurs game away last season where keane did not have any idea at all how to change things when it was obvious things were not working.
We deservedly got beat. We could of easily lost more games this season when we have been outplayed but have had the luck, and that is the only reason why we were sitting pretty at the top of the league.

The gate last night was never 13k, just another ploy from the management to try and say the supporters are still with them.
I disagree with a lot of posts on here about thousands returning if keane got the sack.
It's well known that when season ticket holders don't renew then the majority won't return as they find something else to do.
We might get 2-3k back on a regular basis at first but it will take time to get them all back.

The future looks rather bleak unless something major happens very quick.

Hi Lancs Pensioner

How do you think Glen Hoddle would do?

A big manager may be tempted knowing that good tactical deployment up to Xmas and the possibility of a few recruits January would see a Premiership return.

Lots of managers out there at the moment who put in for the Coventry Forest jobs.

Who would / could be a big Real Outside punt.

With present squad and maybe possible recruitment Jan for Premiership return could tempt someone. Rednapp Benitez ( NW) link.

What do you reckon?
Hi Matt
At this moment in time I would give my right arm for Hollaway but we won't get him, I would like anyone who can give a good half time talk when things are not going well.
Keans teams seem to come out like they have there eyes caught in headlights,
As an outsider what about the MK Donbs manager, can't remember his name though.

True blue....don't be so pessimistic. If Kean does go soon and we all hope he does, I am sure the fans will flock back for at least the first home game if only for the novelty of seeing all these new players we have. Having done so and got the bug again I am sure they will return in droves to continue the fight to get the Rovers back to the PL. the players will wonder what has hit them when the Ewood faithful return and lift the roof off the stadium with their chants celebrating the demise of the worst manager we have ever had to endure.

Worst performance of Steve Keans reign and he looks at the positives !

Defence dire Midfield over run and no help to the defence. Front two no service all night.

Entertainment virtually nil until the last five minutes when Rovers laid seige - they may have grabbed a point late on but that is four home games and we have not performed -if Venkys look only at the table we are stuffed.

Time for a change YES YES YES - stop wasting money on new Coaches and get a proper Manager in now

@ French rover you cannot say the fans that turn up kill the atmosphere with the anti deluded chants out or the boycotters not turning up for the platers being poor. Up until last night I have been all for going with shebby and everyone starts with a clean slate. The start on paper looks fantastic however going to games the performances have been awful at best and the first half last night almost made me a curling fan it was that bad. That had nothing to do with the fans present or absent, we have been more than supportive of the players on the pitch from day one this season but performances have got worse not better, we had players waving arms around and scratching head last night.

@ Darener. I still dont agree with boycotting but I cannot go to anymore games like that until we have someone who can get them playing with a bit of passion I dont care abgout the tacticws at the minute I want to see 11 players on that pitch giving it there all, that is not going to happen.

As for where is Shebby hopefully he will be laising/giving Mrs D the best oral shes had jsut so she knows what the crack is at ewood I really hope lancspen and his rumour mill is right. What we need to do is stop with the rumours, stop with the slating because some go and some dont and figure a way of sticking a great big f*** you up to the powers that be. Both from those that go and stay away.

Positives:

Grant Hanley, he was spot on. If he continues to play like that then I think we should have him as first choice in centre of defence. His insight and reactions were as I said simply spot on. I am sorry if people don't agree with this but there you go.

Fabio Nunes, a lot tougher than he looks and a great engine,certainly a good degree of skill too.

Robinson, he was busy tonight but he did a good job, no doubt.

Givet....yes!
Pity he couldn't pick his man out when boro scored their second. All hanleys fault. still rypical blind supporter only sees the back of the net. Hanley is 2 stone overweight and his positional sense is as bad as I have seen. Thats why we went down lack of fitness. Nothing has changed. Murphy is less mobile than dunn. Hanley is championship on a good day and ribero is combination level midfielder. Ribero is a fullback, unlike bradley ordinary.

not sure about that - could be they stopped playing for the fans! Disgraceful atmosphere at last nights game that would have surely killed any spirit these players (especially the new lads) may have had. Bet they could not believe that they were top of the table looking at the empty seats and hearing the booing of Rovers players when there was still half the match to go at Ewood.

Yes it is all the fault of the Venky crew and especially Kean and not the fans. The owners created the horrible fans v club situation with keeping Kean in a job and they can end this situation (mostly) by sacking him.

But the fans (both the go's and the no-shows) need to get a grip, nothing is working regards the fans actions, the Kean Out shouts, the pre-match protests, the not going, it is so plain to see that none of it is working towards achieving the objective of getting Kean out.

Not sure what will work....there are no obvious solutions but what is happening now must stop. Maybe we do a full 180 degree turn and start packing the ground and backing the team. Make Ewood a hostile place to come to again for visiting teams, give the players encouragement instead of boos, and yes get 30,000 Rovers fans singing one song together - Kean Ou!t Then perhaps even the seemingly deaf Venkys may hear the message at last.
So the 'Kean out' chants, pre-match protests (none so far this season) and booing of the players - from the self-proclaimed Spartans - aren't helping, they only serve to create a disgraceful atmosphere inside the ground? The stay-away fans, who aren't to blame for any of the aforementioned actions, need to get a grip and return to Ewood Park? Your solution, pack the stadium with 30,000 fans to cheer the team on and sing, "Kean out!", as a collective?

Didn't you say the chanting isn't working? Also, how is 30,000 fans calling for Kean's head going to help the players? After all, you're the one who suggested that the players aren't playing for the fans because of the disgraceful atmosphere. The in-fighting that occurs inside the stadium is down to the fact that some fans are chanting and others around them are telling them to shut up. Are you suggesting that those fans who just want to watch the game without any chanting should now start acting like the same people they feel are ruining their match day experience?
You are not wrong, but its such a mess that any suggestions are meaningless right now. Whatever happens though I believe that the fans need to think again about what actions to take, Maybe there is something that has not been considered yet. None of the current actions are doing anything at all apart from hurting the team. They are not working - so why continue with them?

The only obvious solution is for Venkys to sack Kean but they will do that at the time they decide.....seems for sure they will not be dictated to by the fans actions. In fact it will probably make them dig their heels in to support Kean even longer, so the present actions have become self-defeating.

Players quite clearly afraid of making a mistake, every slight mistake greeted with groans and howls of derision, Danny Murphy has never played well against us or for us and is a very early target for the boo-boys. A section in the Darwen End were determined to get us beat right from the beginning. It must be a truly miserable experience playing for Rovers. There is the obvious rift between management, owners and fans, but there is a even bigger rift between the fans. We are a wreckage of a football club. If 3000 were chanting "Kean Out" another 7000 were very very unhappy about the chants. I believe at Bristol many Rovers fans were ejected from the ground for fighting amongst each other. Some people are boycotting matches, but many more are not going because of the miserable atmosphere. We may recover on the pitch, although I doubt it, but Rovers as a club will never be the same again. Venkys may have been inexperienced owners who appointed an inexperienced manager into a job that was too difficult for him, but as yet there is still no evidence of financial wrong doing. You people from Brag carried on with your demonstrations even though you knew the majority of fans were against them . David Moyes said you were vile and disgusting, Alex Ferguson said you were a symptom of modern society, for once I agree with him. I and many thousands of Rovers fans hold the people at Brag and the imbeciles who follow you responsible for turning our club into a wreckage. I hope you rot in hell.
Talking of vile and disgusting, I think that quite nicely sums up your final comment.
Not to mention ill informed.

It's a strange theory - sorry, opinion - regarding the cause of the shambolic mess currently called Blackburn Rovers Football Club.

Quite how the supporters' concern for the way the club has been run or a proposed investigation into it can actually be considered to be the reasons for the "wreckage of a football club" is a little odd.

These are reactions to what has happened, not the cause of it.

There may not be any evidence of financial wrong doing (yet), but that is not necessarily the issue. But we wont know until it has been fully investigated, if there is sufficient evidence to suggest one is warranted in the first place.

There probably won't be; as Peter Scudamore said, whatever the shortcomings of the fit and proper test, the FAPL can't be held responsible for the owners turning out to be f@cking useless or for the bizarre decisions they make when running the club.

I don't think there will be any blatant financial impropriety, just naive irresponsible and inept management bordering on the negligent. There have however undoubtedly been some dubious appointments - one in particular - which would not require too much investigation. I kind of hope there have been accountable wrongdoings, if only for the satisfaction of being able to say "see we told you so". It would bring some kind of closure to the whole mess, although where it would leave us would be a worry. Such is the dilemma we face.

So, what can be done? Probably nothing which makes it all the more frustrating.

It is a touch presumptuous to say "many thousand" fans share your view ; unless there is a larger Swiss branch of the Rovers supporters club than I was aware of.

And the majority of the fans being against the protests? The majority may not have actively joined in the protests but that does not automatically mean they did not support them in principle.

Based on the reduced numbers attending games and the reaction of many that do, I would question the accuracy of Swiss Rover's figures whilst his assumptions are just plainly wrong.

A $hite atmosphere and disagreement between fans are the results of two years total mismanagement by the current owners of just about everything related to the club and its supporters, nothing else.
Well said. Now put all this in a letter to those $hite owners.

If Venkys dont get shut of Keane I think we will definitely start to slide down the table and how far do we slide before something is done,
Hendry hasnt helped at all to improve our defence and I even feel Robbo has gone off the boil, he doesnt seem to be able to catch a ball anymore he has started punching, with two hands sometimes.
We are greatly missing the likes of Samba and Nelson and need to bring in a couple more defenders in January.
I just hope we get things together before we play the dingles, I will never live it down if they beat us at Ewood,
Time to get rid of donkey Keane, maybe Kenny would be up for the challenge, he is out of work at the moment, after all if big Sam can help a championship club why wouldnt King Kenny.

Spartans never stand alone, they stood together last night and their cry was KEAN OUT, standing strong like a band of Blue and White brothers, sending the Venkys and Kean the message that there was nothing positive about the performance, tactics or organisation of the team, Kean you are not fit to call yourself a manager and the Spartans will let you and the world know it every step of the way. Kean will be sacked at some point and you can thank the Spartans at that point but until then you fair weather stay always can sit infront of your TVs with your feet up doing nothing. KEAN OUT...

So despite a third season of evidence that Kean hasn't got the slightest clue on how to organise a defence, or an attack to penetrate a top-half Championship side, your advice is that he should be only be ditched after we have lost "several" (how many? 5/6/7?) games on the trot. By that time we will be looking for somebody keep us out of the relegation spots for a third season running.
Ask how many other championship clubs would be unhappy with 14 points out of 7 games, only one loss? I won't argue Kean's record in the Prem, but so far this season you've had one of the best starts at this level for many years. Venkys put their hands in their pockets, and gave Rovers a transfer fund most championship clubs can only dream of. You're top of the division. Yet one defeat, and you're moaning as though it's the end of the world. No wonder the rest of football are starting to think of Rover's fans as a laughing stock.
I know what you are saying and how it may look from afar, but this is not all about one game.

It has been a good start on paper but the scorelines alone suggest nothing has changed apart from the quality of opposition. Match reports and comments on here suggest the same. We continue to concede plenty whilst relying on one or two decent players to pull us out of the proverbial; for Rhodes and Nuno Gomes read Hoilett and the Yak.

That cannot last and is not a realistic way to achieve what the owners claim to be their prime objective.

It is a long old season in the Championship and ending the first six games with a one or two point advantage means squat at this early stage.

The fact the owners have (albeit belatedly) thrown some cash around makes it all the more worrying.

There are plenty of teams already more than capable of taking advantage of the slow, disorganised and defensively fragile team we have put out this season and every week for the last eighteen months. This will become more apparent when they look past the supposed big names and the amount of money spent and realise Rovers are actually a bit of a soft touch.

It is a trend which if allowed to continue will result in a very expensive failure. The fate of the club will then be in the hands of our incompetent owners, which, given their efforts to date is very worrying.
Quality whappen.........

And as you stand there alone he will treat you with disdain and impolitely tell you where to go.
If I have to stand alone then so be it. Kean wouldn't have the knackers
Not whilst me and my crowd are there.. Kean may be thick skinned but at least we dont let him forget he's hated at the Park. Stay aways, he can just tell himself are gone because we were relegated and it was to be expected - probably what he told Venkys. The abuse he gets week in and week out though, is sure to be making his tenure far from enjoyable. One can only hope he will crack under the pressure eventually.

Whilst he's at the helm, we wont stop reminding him how much we hate him. Stay aways like RU says, stay at home and shout at the screen if it makes you feel better.

Spartans never stand alone, they stood together last night and their cry was KEAN OUT, standing strong like a band of Blue and White brothers, sending the Venkys and Kean the message that there was nothing positive about the performance, tactics or organisation of the team, Kean you are not fit to call yourself a manager and the Spartans will let you and the world know it every step of the way. Kean will be sacked at some point and you can thank the Spartans at that point but until then you fair weather stay always can sit infront of your TVs with your feet up doing nothing. KEAN OUT...

Still personally feel that an empty ground is the only way to seeing off Kean, there would be no way back for him - his comments of ' getting loads of letters' giving support to what he and his cohorts are doing would just 'not' stack up and equally the Venkys would be hit really hard in the pocket with only one course of action - getting shut of Kean. The home matches have no atmosphere at all and the visual impact on the players with the odd chants of 'out Kean' demoralizing far greater message sent by an empty ground the players then knowing full well without exception that the boycott is against Kean and not them!!

Cheers, at least I know there are more of us with the same opimion. Our protest will continue. The stay aways are hidden behind keans excuse. He says they will come back if we keep playing enjoyable football and winning. Well, I go to the ground to tell him, I don't want him no matter what position or what kind of performance we put in. I go to support the team and to tell kean I want him out. Last night proved I'm not on my own either. More of us will continue until this chancer has been potted.

Before today I was thinking Nigel Atkins may be the first casualty of the Premiership now I am thinking Paul Lambert is a possibility

Either would do me they know what it takes to win matches and gain promotion from the Championship - that is all what Venkys should be focused on - even if they dont care for the Rovers fans they would reunite Ewood and that is needed badly

If we really want him out, which we do, we need to do something different but we have to co-ordinate the action.
I don't like the division that's forming but frankly there's no right or wrong way.
Here's a thought.
The next time we play 2 home games backtoback is 24th and 27th October against Sheff wed and Watford.

Why don't we split the games to demonstrate that the fans are united.
We should ALL go to Sheff Wed and give the players a taste of our REAL support. Lets get 25000 on coz Wednesday will bring a few. Of course Kean Out can ring around Ewood at the end.
Then on Saturday, we ALL boycott the game for a crowd of under 5000.
THAT will send out a clear message to Venkys and the world that the fans are totally united.
Barnsley looked impressive today and Keith Hill's a Rover. We could have had Steve Bruce too!

The problem is that the media are still portraying the situation as one in which fans are most to blame. Last night, they frequently highlighted the eagerness in which fans chanted Kean Out, the effect it has on players, how it isn't like a home game, how they don't get behind their team.they put Kean in a sympathetic light saying he can't win with the fans. Venkys hear this and get the wrong message. If those who go only to protest, stayed away for a couple of games, the message would be beter conveyed. Apparently the gate was much lower than that published
Agreed Merlin !

Chanting 'Kean Out' when the Rovers go behind clearly demoralizes the players and doesn't help the team's performance.

What is clear is that if we ALL want the Klingon Kean out then we ALL must commit to carry out the same actions.

Stop the booing !

When will you see that staying away is doing nothing for the club, nothing for the team and just helps to cement Keans position with Venkys. The only positive action that any fan can take is to go to matches and show their loyalty for the team - Blackburn Rovers. i cannot say what will get Kean out but not going to matches is not working.

Desperate times when the only positives are "if,s" "but,s" & "maybe,s".....does confirm conman Kean has lost the plot and is clutching at straws....well, more like if,s...but,s and maybe,s !!
The longer the Venky,s stays wih this conman, who has had over two years of disasters after failures and still in a downhill spiral....then there will be a point of no return where permanent damage will see all being lost has far has their investment and best intentions are concerned.
If you can sack him then show your good intentions and bring in a quality "Team" management squad who will bring respect and address the many problems within the team right now.
Do not procastinate any longer....remember also, if you pay peanuts you get monkeys...then again, maybe has been prtly the problem within the Venky,s business culture-thinking !!

I think that before long we will be there. If they get a decent manager in now, then given the players we have, we'll go back up. Leave it until Christmas to see how things work out, I'm afraid that it'll be another year in the Championship
spot on
Keith Hill is the man to sort it.
Well said, no positives, no tactics and no organisation..... What really hurts is no passion (with the exception of Givet). You are right a new manager soon and Christmas is too late, we will be found out by then. A good manager would make this side a good Prem side... COYB!!!

Go hang your head in shame. If no fans had attended the first few games of the season Kean would be GONE by now. Well done for keeping him in place.
Stop the booing !
Start the boycott !

Klingon Kean will go if we all commit to the same course of action !

Together we can succeed . . . .
What total uter rubbish, sounds like your a Dingle and don't like the affect last nights protests have had, the only reason the media are interested and have made a big deal of this is because of the protests KEAN OUT at the game this is highlighting to the Venky's that Kean is the problem and the protests continue to mount the pressure on Kean, other than match day protests we would be yesterday's news, sitting at home with your feet up playing the martyr is simpley just taking a back seat. I will support MY team and cheer them on, I will also protest against Kean and work to drive him out, YOU will sit at home and do nothing, you are not a fan, you are not a supporter, you are just a nobody who criticises the Blue and White supporters for simply that... BEING SUPPORTERS! Take heed Dingle, we will support our Club and we will call for Keans head if you like it or not..... KEAN OUT... COYB!!!
ok Rovers 33 if that's what you really want to believe that's fine,you do it your way and we will do it our way.
I'm happy with that.... Hope you succeed because we have the same goal! KEAN OUT! COYB!

Believe me the boycott will be worrying Venky's greatly and puts the greatest pressure on Keans position. I would not be surprised when they get the match report if they look for the attendance before they look for the score.
Agreed !

Let's take some positive action by all joining together and stay away.

If you want the Klingon Kean out then . . .

Everyone welcome . . . together we will succeed.
When will you see that staying away is doing nothing for the club, nothing for the team and just helps to cement Keans position with Venkys. The only positive action that any fan can take is to go to matches and show their loyalty for the team - Blackburn Rovers. i cannot say what will get Kean out but not going to matches is not working.
What utter tripe Frenchie! How in Gods name do you think staying away cements Kean's position with the Venkys? Staying away certainly doesn't do anything for the club. The action is designed to threaten damage to the club IF Venkys do not remove the greater damage Steve Kean. You are right to that extent. However, the Spartans are also damaging the club by supporting the corrupt, incompetent regime. The difference is that the Boycotters are aiming to inflict maximum damage over a short period in order to get rid of Kean (and the Venkys) and avoiding having the damage go on for a much more extended period and thereby probably amount to a greater wreckage. I think there is another difference that the two camps need to consider. I sense that the Boycotters would prefer to play in a lower league without Kean ( and the Venkys) than play in the Premiership with all that nonsense that surrounds the Venkys such as Kean, the Global Adviser, the contemptable Agnew and the thug Hendry, the constant slights to the paying customers.
Blackburn Rovers is not a club for Venkys to buy or sell. It is a club for the supporters to permit an owner to buy it or to compel to sell it.

There have only been four home matches. How can you (repeatedly) say the boycott is not working after such a short time?

In the unlikely event we remain in the top two for any length of time and gates remain low or even decrease further, would you not expect the owners to wonder why?

On that basis, I can't understand why you think staying away strengthens Kean's position.

Young Matthew, i can only assume that you are young by judging your very immature response. I am fully aware of the magnitude of what has happened to my beloved club. I have been following the Rovers since 1979 and have witnessed all he ups and downs that we have been through since then. If you truly believe that SK would have been gone by now had everyone stayed away for the first few games then you are very much deluded.... but that is your opinion and you are entitled to it. Do not come on here giving it the big 'I AM' accusing me of not caring and 'keeping that knob-jockey in place!' For your information, I have not set foot in Ewood Park for over a year now and will not till he's gone! You do not know me and therefore have no right to judge me. It's idiots like you that are bringing this club to its knees by attacking your own fellow supporters... now that is really pathetic! Now grow up FFS!

By the way. Just watched Kean's claimed penalty. Rubbish! The incident was nowhere near a penalty. Kean clearly thinks we are stupid if he thinks we could be fooled that that should have been a penalty. He is desperate for excuses. If he is coaching our players that is what a penalty is then it's no wonder why tthe team has had such a deplorable record over the last 2 years.
Has Colin Hendry borrowed anything from Murphy yet? He usually targets pensioners.

The way I see it is if we have a stable 12000 in the ground every game Venkys will work with that. Pick up young players, sell them on for a profit and keep making a few quid. This model doesn't work as well with a 2000 crowd. It would be difficult to attract any players with this backing and the media would crucify the club. By continuing to attend you are helping to shape Venkys vision of Rover's future, a low end Championship club who sells players to clubs we should be competing with. I believe there is still just enough talent within this club to get promoted this season but only if we rid our club of the awful management team. Surely we all can see Kean will not be taking us up and this season is probably our only chance of returning. Let's be realistic if we don't go up Rhodes, Olsson, Rochina, Robinson, Givet and even Danny won't be there next year.

Interesting point.

However, I got the impression it was only when the anti - Kean chants started that the team showed any signs of life.

It happened a few times last year as well.

So, is the negative atmosphere a good or a bad thing?

Good stuff? Knob! Who would want to buy us? Who with any desent amount of cash to invest would want us, we are not a well run Prem side anymore, we are a club that would struggle to find any takers. We would be lucky not to become another Portsmouth with administration looming... No more Rovers, Ewood would become another supermarket, Is that what your aiming for? Our best hope is promotion this year, the gamble has already been taken by the Venky's, here's hoping the sell if we get promotion. KEAN OUT! COYB!!!

Go hang your head in shame. If no fans had attended the first few games of the season Kean would be GONE by now. Well done for keeping him in place.
Stop the booing !
Start the boycott !

Klingon Kean will go if we all commit to the same course of action !

Together we can succeed . . . .
What total uter rubbish, sounds like your a Dingle and don't like the affect last nights protests have had, the only reason the media are interested and have made a big deal of this is because of the protests KEAN OUT at the game this is highlighting to the Venky's that Kean is the problem and the protests continue to mount the pressure on Kean, other than match day protests we would be yesterday's news, sitting at home with your feet up playing the martyr is simpley just taking a back seat. I will support MY team and cheer them on, I will also protest against Kean and work to drive him out, YOU will sit at home and do nothing, you are not a fan, you are not a supporter, you are just a nobody who criticises the Blue and White supporters for simply that... BEING SUPPORTERS! Take heed Dingle, we will support our Club and we will call for Keans head if you like it or not..... KEAN OUT... COYB!!!
So had we won last night what then....

Do you think chanting Kean out is having an effect, the owners are never there to hear it, and on the tv it's hard to tell what the chants are.

But they will certainly know what the attendance is, and that includes all the FREE tickets they have been giving away the last couple of games.

I'm sorry but all you Spartans are doing is upsetting the players by your Kean out chants. Evident by their pathetic display last night. At least the boycotters are not upsetting the players but they will be upsetting Kean and the Venky's.
Interesting point.

However, I got the impression it was only when the anti - Kean chants started that the team showed any signs of life.

It happened a few times last year as well.

So, is the negative atmosphere a good or a bad thing?

Discuss.
Its funny last year the protesters said that kean out chants did nothing of the sort, now the said same people have opted for a boycott and now the kean out chant is upsetting the team because they are not doing it.
FOS
Couldn't agree more, last year it was look at us we protest and the protests are for the good of the Club but now the same hypercritical stay aways say it's so so wrong, well it's our right to voice our opinion and at the right time when the TV cameras are there has a well broadcasted affect that is to pile the pressure on Kean. I was at the game and the team put there head down at the chants but actually showed some signs of spirit, I know because I was there cheering my team on and calling for Keans head... COYB!!!

If you actually went to any games you would realise that Kean gets stick at all the games we have won, you seem to think that it is different because we lost, well no Kean got stick and the cameras were there to capture it. The crowd also got behind the team except for the boo boys... Me I never boo... COYB!!!

Young Matthew, i can only assume that you are young by judging your very immature response. I am fully aware of the magnitude of what has happened to my beloved club. I have been following the Rovers since 1979 and have witnessed all he ups and downs that we have been through since then. If you truly believe that SK would have been gone by now had everyone stayed away for the first few games then you are very much deluded.... but that is your opinion and you are entitled to it. Do not come on here giving it the big 'I AM' accusing me of not caring and 'keeping that knob-jockey in place!' For your information, I have not set foot in Ewood Park for over a year now and will not till he's gone! You do not know me and therefore have no right to judge me. It's idiots like you that are bringing this club to its knees by attacking your own fellow supporters... now that is really pathetic! Now grow up FFS!

Arte et Labore
Only since 1979??

As for a rift between supporters to right there is.
Matt oh yes Ding dong you are another Bell End! Pathetic! To try and belittle a fellow supporter for giving over 33 years of loyal support to his club is just pathetic, grow up. No matter which you fall Spartan/boycotter, that's the act of someone who hasn't got a clue what's this all about. Knob!
Rovers 33

Has not got a clue as to what this is all about... Really
Yep REALLY! you seem to think it's about slagging you own supporters for supporting there own team. Like I say.... Knob!

Here's hoping this bit if gossip is true,

That's only the first piece of the jigsaw, who would Venkys then bring in Hendry? God help us, it's certainly not just a case of sacking the idiot that's in charge it's who replaces him that's important,

Who do you want? Or more to the point witch plonker would join this circus, no it's not as easy as it looks to clean this mess up.
Good morning Lancs or bad morning after that last night.
Where did you here Kean will be gone in next 24 hours?
You have no idea how much I hope you are right.
Sorry FBU
Just pub gossip nothing substantial, it can't be long now though, last night was pathetic, rumour (again) has it RU has resigned from the Spartans ha ha he may join me on my boycotting crusade.

Lets all hope the Venkys put us out of our misery soon!!
Spartans don't resign. Kean has defeated the boycotters and chased you from your own club. Not me, I'm still here telling him he is sheite at his job. Every home match he is in charge I will tell him. Whereas you guys can puff your chests out at the TV screen which is about as effective as a cat standing sideways.
And as you stand there alone he will treat you with disdain and impolitely tell you where to go.
If I have to stand alone then so be it. Kean wouldn't have the knackers
Spartans never stand alone, they stood together last night and their cry was KEAN OUT, standing strong like a band of Blue and White brothers, sending the Venkys and Kean the message that there was nothing positive about the performance, tactics or organisation of the team, Kean you are not fit to call yourself a manager and the Spartans will let you and the world know it every step of the way. Kean will be sacked at some point and you can thank the Spartans at that point but until then you fair weather stay always can sit infront of your TVs with your feet up doing nothing. KEAN OUT... COYB!
Cheers, at least I know there are more of us with the same opimion. Our protest will continue. The stay aways are hidden behind keans excuse. He says they will come back if we keep playing enjoyable football and winning. Well, I go to the ground to tell him, I don't want him no matter what position or what kind of performance we put in. I go to support the team and to tell kean I want him out. Last night proved I'm not on my own either. More of us will continue until this chancer has been potted.
No wonder you changed your login from KDG. That's some volte face from what you were saying last season and the close season. Unfortunately you are about 12 months too late because we have already been relegated.

Here's another one you were lambasting: Venkys don't have the authority to sack Kean.

I would not be surprised when they get the match report if they look for the attendance before they look for the score.
Agreed !

Let's take some positive action by all joining together and stay away.

If you want the Klingon Kean out then . . .

Stop the booing!
Start the boycott !

Everyone welcome . . . together we will succeed.
When will you see that staying away is doing nothing for the club, nothing for the team and just helps to cement Keans position with Venkys. The only positive action that any fan can take is to go to matches and show their loyalty for the team - Blackburn Rovers. i cannot say what will get Kean out but not going to matches is not working.
What utter tripe Frenchie! How in Gods name do you think staying away cements Kean's position with the Venkys? Staying away certainly doesn't do anything for the club. The action is designed to threaten damage to the club IF Venkys do not remove the greater damage Steve Kean. You are right to that extent. However, the Spartans are also damaging the club by supporting the corrupt, incompetent regime. The difference is that the Boycotters are aiming to inflict maximum damage over a short period in order to get rid of Kean (and the Venkys) and avoiding having the damage go on for a much more extended period and thereby probably amount to a greater wreckage. I think there is another difference that the two camps need to consider. I sense that the Boycotters would prefer to play in a lower league without Kean ( and the Venkys) than play in the Premiership with all that nonsense that surrounds the Venkys such as Kean, the Global Adviser, the contemptable Agnew and the thug Hendry, the constant slights to the paying customers.
Blackburn Rovers is not a club for Venkys to buy or sell. It is a club for the supporters to permit an owner to buy it or to compel to sell it.
It is just an opinion like yours....doesn't make it tripe as you put it or make it right or wrong. I think we all know that Mrs Desai actually likes the Odious one and is his main supporter even after he got us relegated. So why would she not support him still now? Surely he is saying to her after every game - 'look Mama we are still top of the league and all the new players are doing well but still the crowd are not behind us, they either boo the team which is terrible or they don't come to the games and just slag the club and everyone at it off in the media. What more can I do mama?

And Mrs Desai will be saying - 'dont worry wee Stevie, we wont take your toys away despite the horrible ungrateful fans in Blackburn. All that money we invested in buying the club and new players and they dont appreciate it tut tut, Yes, Blackburn is Top of the table yes I see that in the India times, this is better for our business now to be top or near the top of the table, so you carry on doing the great job you are and take no notice of the fans, we will subsidize the lower attendances - no problem there wee Stevie'.

Now IMO I think that is a more likely conversation and take on Venkys stance with Kean than anything else I saw written on here. And that is why I said I think the 'go and boo-ers' and the 'no-shows' will have very little effect on Keans position with Venkys. The team are the only ones who are really bearing the brunt of both sets of fans actions. The shyster Shebby and the Odious Kean are both sitting pretty still. All Shebby has done is take some of the 'glare/pressure off Kean at least at first and who thought of doing that - why mama Desai of course. That lady is much cleverer that you all seem to think. Ergo Kean will stay if she wants and right now she obviously wants.

If anyone would care to count up the positive thumbs for the boycotters and the Spartans I think the boycotters have it by a large majority. So at least the commenters on here are sure of the way forward. To all boycotters keep up the good work. The Spartans will eventually realise that we are right and BOYCOTTING is the only way to get rid of Kean. Especially as we start to plunge down the league.

Good morning French Rover, Mrs Desai calling Kean "wee Stevie" answers a lot of questions,she likes Kean because she's scottish.
I watched a match for the first time on Friday(in the pub) and Iv'e got to say a new manager would have his work cut out to get prmotion with that squad it lacks pace and balance and in my opinion will only go backwards.Kean is clueless and one or two players are not commited,I thought O lsson did not look to unhappy to leave the fray.

Blackburn Rovers is not a club for Venkys to buy or sell. It is a club for the supporters to permit an owner to buy it or to compel to sell it.
It is just an opinion like yours....doesn't make it tripe as you put it or make it right or wrong. I think we all know that Mrs Desai actually likes the Odious one and is his main supporter even after he got us relegated. So why would she not support him still now? Surely he is saying to her after every game - 'look Mama we are still top of the league and all the new players are doing well but still the crowd are not behind us, they either boo the team which is terrible or they don't come to the games and just slag the club and everyone at it off in the media. What more can I do mama? And Mrs Desai will be saying - 'dont worry wee Stevie, we wont take your toys away despite the horrible ungrateful fans in Blackburn. All that money we invested in buying the club and new players and they dont appreciate it tut tut, Yes, Blackburn is Top of the table yes I see that in the India times, this is better for our business now to be top or near the top of the table, so you carry on doing the great job you are and take no notice of the fans, we will subsidize the lower attendances - no problem there wee Stevie'. Now IMO I think that is a more likely conversation and take on Venkys stance with Kean than anything else I saw written on here. And that is why I said I think the 'go and boo-ers' and the 'no-shows' will have very little effect on Keans position with Venkys. The team are the only ones who are really bearing the brunt of both sets of fans actions. The shyster Shebby and the Odious Kean are both sitting pretty still. All Shebby has done is take some of the 'glare/pressure off Kean at least at first and who thought of doing that - why mama Desai of course. That lady is much cleverer that you all seem to think. Ergo Kean will stay if she wants and right now she obviously wants.
Morning Frenchie, that's very interesting, but I am afraid I am not convinced. However, the picture you paint of Mama Desai addressing Kean as "wee Steve" is most amusing.
Mme Desai can't be that bright if she lets herself be hoodwinked by Kean so easily.

If she is the hard nosed businesswoman she would seem to be, she should be dragging his sorry ar$e into the office and laying down the law

"I don't care a f@ck where we are in the league. I've kept you in a job against my brothers' advice and given you millions to spend but you've cost us a f@ckin' fortune already and now there's hardly anyone turning up. You're on seriously thin ice boy and if you don't turn it around, big style, you're f@ckin' history".

You make her sound more like a dizzy heiress besotted by the dashing Wee Stevie from the Highlands.

Mind you, she should have been doing that a year ago; maybe she has indeed been bowled over by the wit and charm of Lord Stephen of the Glens.

He must be able to put on a superb Connery-esque Edinburgh accent and have some pretty impressive lines for wooing the ladies.

The Spartans will eventually realise that we are right and BOYCOTTING is the only way to get rid of Kean. Especially as we start to plunge down the league.

When will you see that staying away is doing nothing for the club, nothing for the team and just helps to cement Keans position with Venkys. The only positive action that any fan can take is to go to matches and show their loyalty for the team - Blackburn Rovers. i cannot say what will get Kean out but not going to matches is not working.
What utter tripe Frenchie! How in Gods name do you think staying away cements Kean's position with the Venkys? Staying away certainly doesn't do anything for the club. The action is designed to threaten damage to the club IF Venkys do not remove the greater damage Steve Kean. You are right to that extent. However, the Spartans are also damaging the club by supporting the corrupt, incompetent regime. The difference is that the Boycotters are aiming to inflict maximum damage over a short period in order to get rid of Kean (and the Venkys) and avoiding having the damage go on for a much more extended period and thereby probably amount to a greater wreckage. I think there is another difference that the two camps need to consider. I sense that the Boycotters would prefer to play in a lower league without Kean ( and the Venkys) than play in the Premiership with all that nonsense that surrounds the Venkys such as Kean, the Global Adviser, the contemptable Agnew and the thug Hendry, the constant slights to the paying customers.

Bonjour monsieur nuttall street......I guess you and a lot of others are not convinced :) but I do think it is quite a plausible scenario? How else can Kean be keeping his job? He would have been long gone at any other club.
The 'special' relationship between wee Stevie and Mama D will keep him safe at least until he fails by missing out on promotion this season

I honestly believe that there is nothing the fans can do to speed his exit. But I do believe the protests in some form should continue. Not sure how though but not by keeping on with no-shows or home boos.

What are BRAG or BRSIT or any of the legitimate and seemingly sound protest groups doing now? I really thought they had evidence of wrong-doings at the club that were being investigated and which would conclusively result in either Kean or Venkys (or both) being in deep brown stuff. But this seems to have all faded away like the no-shows. Surely it cannot be taking this long to take the actions they talked about?

This was surely the best way of toppling the 'regime' but seems to be all mirrors and smoke. Unless anyone knows differently?

If you don't know the story I will fill you in. It took only 300 spartans to deter the persian army which numbered 250,000. so the boycotters numbers are nowhere near a match. Its whats inside that counts. We spartans are resolute and can take as much sheite as you can dish out. There is no soft half inch in the middle of the backbone and we will never lay down our flag and desert our club.
Unlike the boycotters who have layed down their flag and run off and now have the front to try and make the spartans make a dash for the tree line where they can hide like they did. They are now blubbing cause its not fair. Blubbing on here,blubbing in their pint and blubbing at the TV. Thats a lot of blubbing if you ask me.

Come on Shabby get Kean out!

Believe it or not I liked Kean for the first half of last season because our football being played was much better, and we were really unlucky at times.

But then failures in tactics and team selections and general management were becoming increasingly obvious. This season we have been very lucky to be in the position we are.

Come on Shabby I know you feel the same. I guess who need some time to prove the Venkys he needs to go.

Only this conceited, deluded little man could suggest that there were positives in this totally inept performance. The team is rudderless, he just stands on the touchline looking a total plank, powerless and incapable of changing anything. It is obvious that he doesn't have the respect of the players, who by the way, don't even look fit. His defence of Danny Murphy is nothing more than an alliance of the Baldies. How could anyone in the right mind offer the likes of Murphy and Gomes two year deals at their age? What is Colin Hendry contributing from a defensive perspective, given that the defence leaks goals for fun? Please, please Shebby call a taxi for Mr Kean.

We're "supporters". We support the team and let the owners know how we feel on the terraces. Boycotting the team is like refusing to vote. You don't go, you don't get a say. Its delusional of anyone who think Kean would get sacked because hes unpopular with the fans. They couldn't sack him on that point anyway, he'd take them to the cleaners. Results are what will ultimately be the reason why he is sacked and results alone.

Go don't go. Don't sit in judgement of those who choose to support the team and condemn Kean face to face where it can be heard - on the terraces where we'll still be long after these charlatans have left our club.

Hi blueblooded. I agree with most of what you say, but if he was sacked because of results alone, shouldn't he have gone by now? I don't think the Kean out chants are making any difference though. We've been doing that for two years and he's still here.

If you don't know the story I will fill you in. It took only 300 spartans to deter the persian army which numbered 250,000. so the boycotters numbers are nowhere near a match. Its whats inside that counts. We spartans are resolute and can take as much sheite as you can dish out. There is no soft half inch in the middle of the backbone and we will never lay down our flag and desert our club. Unlike the boycotters who have layed down their flag and run off and now have the front to try and make the spartans make a dash for the tree line where they can hide like they did. They are now blubbing cause its not fair. Blubbing on here,blubbing in their pint and blubbing at the TV. Thats a lot of blubbing if you ask me.
I am Persian not a Spartan :-) And secondly this story that 300 Spartan destroyed 250,000 Persians is not true unlike the film suggests. Shabby, please sack Kean, enough is enough! In my job I have had to sack or ask people to leave. Its not nice but if there people who can do the job better, then it has to happen.
Thats what the history books say, its a pitty we have only two cheesey films to give an account of this momentus event. It will one day be given a film tribute of which it is truly fitting, as will ours at ewood. :0)

That's not true about Kean taking them to the cleaners if he was sacked due to anything other than results. Allardyce wasn't sacked due to results and Hodgeson definitaely went due tio fan influence at Liverpool. If the owners want rid, they will get rid for the reason they choose

Firstly I must apologise for my delay in replying, I am struggling at the moment with an issue that has been taking up most of my time so I will ask for you two monkeys input. If you can get yourself away from your stacking shelf duties.
What do you think about thermionic or germanium signal path and its effects on near instantaneous companded audio multiplexing used in noise reduction? Do you think the introduction of odd/even harmonics by thermionic would have a better overall result or the clean non harmonic introduction of gremanium. Would the introduction of odd harmonics be better than even. which would be more pleasing What do you think?
Which do you think would be better when coupled to a 24 bit 192Khz ADC and what order of harmonics could be reproduced with such a high sampling rate? Should near instantaneous multiplexing be considered prior to such a conversion rate when using thermionic only as germanium would be considered quiet enough?
As you can see by the question, my field of expertise requires no reliance on spelling, so if you wish to reply with a credible answer, you better get surfing and get your calculator out because unless you can prove your answers, I'm not interested. Think you can go back to talking to your tins now and have a think about it.

We lost at home because we had no supporters to roar BRFC on to def. glory. We should be winning every match but we lose. Okay.....!!
We played badly. We had a lesson that BRFC need to learn from.
We played against 12 footy players at Ewood as we have no support.
We know its not going to be easy. Without the fans, BRFC will lose again and drop down the league......sad in it.......!!!
We need another central midfielder who should be under 30 as its tough in the centre and fast and one needs to be energetic, - instead of Murphy as hes old and showed hes past it, hence didnt get a 2 year deal at Fulham.
We also need one or 2 defenders who are brave like the old Hendry we had in past, but cant find any like that these days....!!!

Booing is ****, and should cease with immediate effect !

My B&W heart is heavy witnessing this horrendous situation that achieves nothing and only serves to demoralize the TEAM.

I loathe the Odious One for how he as encroached into my life all matters BRFC, but the B&W shirt with it's badge is, in my opinion, the most vital element and must be supported under any circumstances ?

Attendance or non attendance is not the issue here, again in my opinion, the issue is how to support the TEAM without it becoming detrimental, and should it continue, we will see a corrosive impact that will take years upon years to heal ?

From every quarter Venky know of the unrest aimed at Kean. It is obvious they are sticking with their man until, well, who knows thus the continued booing etc is now like slashing in the wind !

Surely a different tactic as to be introduced in that the team is not affected regardless of what is happening through the match ? The end of the game is when to vent your spleen.

The whole world and it's dog know of the stand off between supporters and the Odious one and is highly unlikely to change any time soon thus a different tactic as to materilize, and we as supporters attending or not attending have to support the B&W shirt, the badge, and rid the 'booing' because in my opinion, the 'booing' is now seeping into the B&W shirt/badge with quite possibly catastrophic consequence's ?

Our club at this time deserves better from all quarters.

Just a few thoughts folk's.

Thats what the history books say, its a pitty we have only two cheesey films to give an account of this momentus event. It will one day be given a film tribute of which it is truly fitting, as will ours at ewood. :0)
It's a pity you can't spell pity. Or momentous. Apart from that a really good effort for a 12 year old. One day you'll be a grown up spartan.
Yet another poster questioning RUInsane's intellect! RUI maintains he did "very well" at school notwithstanding that he is unable to express himself. As RUI is so shy about his boasted educational achievements let me try another interesting line of inquiry:
RUInsane, do you have any dependants?
Firstly I must apologise for my delay in replying, I am struggling at the moment with an issue that has been taking up most of my time so I will ask for you two monkeys input. If you can get yourself away from your stacking shelf duties.
What do you think about thermionic or germanium signal path and its effects on near instantaneous companded audio multiplexing used in noise reduction? Do you think the introduction of odd/even harmonics by thermionic would have a better overall result or the clean non harmonic introduction of gremanium. Would the introduction of odd harmonics be better than even. which would be more pleasing What do you think?
Which do you think would be better when coupled to a 24 bit 192Khz ADC and what order of harmonics could be reproduced with such a high sampling rate? Should near instantaneous multiplexing be considered prior to such a conversion rate when using thermionic only as germanium would be considered quiet enough?
As you can see by the question, my field of expertise requires no reliance on spelling, so if you wish to reply with a credible answer, you better get surfing and get your calculator out because unless you can prove your answers, I'm not interested. Think you can go back to talking to your tins now and have a think about it.
Oh and I have a Higher national Diploma in electrical and electronic engineering but I don't like to brag.
That's just as we'll I hate to read you rubbish when you were bragging!

My B&W heart is heavy witnessing this horrendous situation that achieves nothing and only serves to demoralize the TEAM.

I loathe the Odious One for how he as encroached into my life all matters BRFC, but the B&W shirt with it's badge is, in my opinion, the most vital element and must be supported under any circumstances ?

Attendance or non attendance is not the issue here, again in my opinion, the issue is how to support the TEAM without it becoming detrimental, and should it continue, we will see a corrosive impact that will take years upon years to heal ?

From every quarter Venky know of the unrest aimed at Kean. It is obvious they are sticking with their man until, well, who knows thus the continued booing etc is now like slashing in the wind !

Surely a different tactic as to be introduced in that the team is not affected regardless of what is happening through the match ? The end of the game is when to vent your spleen.

The whole world and it's dog know of the stand off between supporters and the Odious one and is highly unlikely to change any time soon thus a different tactic as to materilize, and we as supporters attending or not attending have to support the B&W shirt, the badge, and rid the 'booing' because in my opinion, the 'booing' is now seeping into the B&W shirt/badge with quite possibly catastrophic consequence's ?

Our club at this time deserves better from all quarters.

Just a few thoughts folk's.

We know that the booing is having no affect as it has for nearly two years. That is why we have resorted to boycotting. Please everybody join us and stop the booing!

Thats why I don't come on here to talk about what I do, because hardly anyone understands. I aint bragging at all, I come on here to talk about football and I get some idiot like a kid on the playground asking me to whip mine out. So when I do you say I'm bragging, how does that work? I said what I have and do with it has nothing to do with anyone. So when I'm forced you now say I'm bragging. FFS.

If you don't know the story I will fill you in. It took only 300 spartans to deter the persian army which numbered 250,000. so the boycotters numbers are nowhere near a match. Its whats inside that counts. We spartans are resolute and can take as much sheite as you can dish out. There is no soft half inch in the middle of the backbone and we will never lay down our flag and desert our club. Unlike the boycotters who have layed down their flag and run off and now have the front to try and make the spartans make a dash for the tree line where they can hide like they did. They are now blubbing cause its not fair. Blubbing on here,blubbing in their pint and blubbing at the TV. Thats a lot of blubbing if you ask me.

I still prefer the 'Atari Cubase' to any other although Windows98 ran the 5 version really well.

I still have a great little hardware AkaiCD2000 sampler, but did sell on a Novation Nova laptop. Spent some great years learning and using technology, but was drawn back to analogue.

Your a man of sound then RUisane. A very fine art indeed.

Music to my ears :)
