FULL-TIME: Blackburn Rovers 0 Everton 1

AERIAL BATTLE Jason Roberts and Everton defender Sylvain Distin take to the air AERIAL BATTLE Jason Roberts and Everton defender Sylvain Distin take to the air

Rovers suffer their third Premier League defeat in a row after being undone by a late Everton penalty.

Having had two spot-kicks of their own and hitting the bar twice the home side failed to gain their first point of the season in what was otherwise a match without many real attacking displays at either end.

During the first-half Rovers held position and pressed Everton back into their own half with a couple of good runs from Hoilett and Roberts.

During the ninth minute David Dunn nearly took them 1-0 up only to have his shot cannoned off the side of the bar.

Steve Kean’s defensive line was put to the test a couple of times but with newly-recovered Chris Samba alongside Gael Givet they held strong whilst Salgado supplemented the attack down the right ring.

Pederson was substituted inside the 30th minute after picking up a knock inside the Everton box, with new addition Radosav Petrovic taking his place. David Dunn was also substituted for Mauro Formica.

Meanwhile, Salgado was booked alongside the Toffees’ Victor Anichebe after heads met after what seemed like a high boot from Salgado.

With the second half underway Rovers missed the chance to take the lead after the ref pointed to the penalty spot after a tackle from Ross Berkley on Formica in the box. Olsson shot low only to have a solid Tim Howard block its path.

Olsson again came close to hitting the score-sheet with a dipping free-kick just outside the box. However the shot only managed to nick the crossbar.

As the half went on Everton fought back; with play swapping between halves and a close call for Paul Robinson as a shot from Marouane Fellaini looked set for the roof of the Darwen End. With twenty minutes to go Steve Kean made his final substitution with Goodwillie coming on to replace Roberts. Three minutes later the Scot hit the bar with a little nicked touch in-front of Howard.

A quick break down the left from Goodwillie managed to break into the box where his pass met Formica but once again the shot was blocked with a diving effort from the Everton keeper.

Another penalty, this time by Formica again found the post after he went down from a Phil Jagielka tackle in the 82nd minute.

A strike from Tim Cahill found the back of the net but luckily for home fans it was disallowed for hand-ball.

However only a minute from time the referee awarded a penalty against Rovers after Fellaini went down as Samba rode up his back for a header. Mikel Arteta struck the back of the net to send the Toffees home with all three points.

Unbelievable. Two penalties wasted. The fact is you can't start whining about no luck etc, we shouldn't be relying on luck to win games. Yes Evertons penalty was a bad decision by the ref but if Blackburn had put theirs away it wouldn't have mattered. If Blackburn were scoring from open play, it wouldn't have mattered. Still no points and looking unlikely to pick any up. When are we going to do something about getting rid of these know nothing useless owners. Pack them up and p*** them off with their useless choice of manager.

I am now waiting for the excuses to come from Kean,but frankly I don't think there are any left that he can give to explain away the shocking state of play so far this season,the entire club needs a shake up starting with Kean himself closely followed by several players whose usefulness has ebbed away and the so called owners whose only interest again seems to be money.I have been a supporter of Rovers for a good number of years from here in Durham and will remain so as long as I am able but I am now completelyt p***ed off with what is going on at the club,someone needs to get in there and sort things out now before it's too late.

Clearly something is seriously wrong. Luck went our way, possession went our way and yet the result did not. Although the players missed the penalties, the Manager sets the tone and from Salgado's remarks it's not an optimistic one. At least it's the start of the season, not the end. Perhaps this will be the cathartic sacrifice: out of this mess will come the realisation even thousands of miles away that things need to change. Come back Sparky?

Its lookin a bit grim down at the bottom of the league, how do u get 2 Pens and miss them both?? Its crazy to see how we smashed them just shows u that the strick force we have aint good enough well maybe if we started with goodie,formica,rochi
na, we might have put the ball in the back of the net. Its a real shame to see us have the chances but not put them in cant really blame SK for the 2 pens missed. But deffo for the lack of commitment to play the new boys from the start.

Steve Kean is not fit to lead this team because it knows how to sort the players on the pitch.
Please leave Steve Kean and give opportunity for any manager / Mark Hughes / come and make the team competitive and to get away from this negative position. Such soulless game I've never seen since 1991

5:30pm Sat 27 Aug 11

I`m no fan of Kean, but please don`t be idiots and blame him for this defeat. Junior and Mauro must be to blame for the penalty-misses, the rest of the players for the rest of the misses and the ref for the wrong decision in injury time.

We played well today and today is not the day to blame Kean for the result. Anyone saying that, please explain.

5:30pm Sat 27 Aug 11

This is how the conversation went when Venky's bought Blackburn:
Desai: I want us in the Championship in 2 years.
Kean: Don't you mean Champions League?
Desai: That's what I said, Championship.
Kean: Erm... That shouldn't be too difficult, just leave it to me.

Ultimately the buck stops with the manager. Poor team selection, no clue about taking penalties, a worse record than Ince. He has to go now!

keane says 12 players left the club and he only signed three players and now Emerton is leaving,so we are down to barebone and if any of those 11 first team players gets injured then we are in big trouble.If Samba,Hoilet,Olsson gets injured then we loose every premiership games?

Jeremy DEagle says...
5:32pm Sat 27 Aug 11

In confused to an extent here. Kean getd criticised for buying players with no Prem experience and then get criticised for not starting said players.

From the sounds of it we should have won today. Kean can't be held responsible for 2 missed penalties. That said I personally believe Roberts have never been good enough.

The only thing they can blame on SK is he didnt play the right 11 from the start, but i agree you cant slate him for this one the players them self lost the game not the manager.

This club is being raped by the owners. I think they have firstly made a massive mistake taking on a coach not a manager but a coach with no experience. They then let lots of players leave creating instability and not replacing players with any experience in the premiership. Don't get me wrong some of these signings might turn out to be real quality but you can't beat experience playing in this league. He has missed out on quite a few of these and not even looked at at some that are available.
Then I look at how much money as come in and how much they have invested. The basics are that we have sold at least 22.5m and spent approx 6.8m, from the players that have left we are saving substantial amounts in wages, so looks like they are making a packet out of the club.
It is now time to rectify these mistakes or we as the fans are the ones that will suffer.
I am now looking for the posters that continue with their constant backing of Kean and the owners to come on and give us some positives because at the moment I don't see it.

DKO now

Were any of you actually at the game today? We played them off the park, attacked and looked threatening especially when goodwillie came on for Roberts.

I'm not saying keans a good manager but you can't pin today on him. The players have to take responsibility for missing penalties.

And yes you do need luck, goodwillie and Dunn where unlucky that there shots hit the woodwork.

Grow up people, take your kean out and venkys out vendettas elsewhere.

On the positive it was good to see emerton get a decent send off from the fans.

I feel absolutely deflated. How the **** hell did we lose that game? The ball hit the bar, the inside of the post twice and the keeper saved a penalty and pulled off a worldy! I thought that was a really good performance but think we got absolutely raped...but saw it coming from such a weak in the last minute by the ref! Not sure how anything that happened today is Kean or Venkys fault because it is down to the players to put the ball in the net come kick-off and nobody can seriously suggest we didn't play well or dserve to win...but I'm sure some will. Gutted.

Is Kean ever going to drop Roberts ?

Totally wrong line up / formation again
No points again

How many chances is Roberts going to have ?

So we dominated the game but at the end of the day we have no points.

I stated before the game Roberts, Dunn and Pederson had to go in a 4-2-3-1 formation.

For gods sake Kean play your new young players who won and scored on Wednesday.

Kean is not entirely to blame. Venkys are the true culprits. The club is a shambles with Kean flying all over the place, being told he has money only for it not to materialize, they are treating him and the fans as absolute mugs.
The players they have brought in are all unproven, cheap purchases whilst we have seen proven quality players go the other way for big money.

Venky's are full of it !

Plenty of buyers around the world,look at QPR sold.Venky are just not spending,many clubs have been active in the transfer markets over the weeks and Keane bought only Three players while 12 players left.Where is the money from the sale Of Jones and Kalinic ,£24 million plus another £10 million promised by Venky?looking for cheap foriegn imports and kids with no experience,if Keane cannot attract good players,he should step down and bring back Sparkie?Venky should be told spend or sell up because the fans are not happy right now.Listen to the fans they want Keane out an experience manager appointed and Venky put money their money where their money is and get rid of their sporting advisory( Kentaro) ,because thats not the way English Premierships clubs are runned today.

A great second half ruined by a dubious decision from a very dubious referee. On any other day they'd have won easily but it wasn't to be.

Couple of things: Why start with Roberts? Why, oh why, didn't Hoillet take the second penalty? Instead of renewing confidence now you have two players whose mistakes cost us the game.

By far the worst people on the pitch were the officials, as one has come to expect from the English Premier League.

I'm more optimistic than pessimistic through my veil of misery. The fact is, If you have that many chances on goal and miss two penalties a team deserves to lose. Back to the training field the lot of you and for some the reserves for some shooting lessons.

5:53pm Sat 27 Aug 11

That is hard to take but in football you create your own luck and if you do not take your chances in this League you get punished.

I reckon it should have been a comfortable 4-0 victory based on the game but it wasnt and we are bottom like it or not.

How Kean can start at home with Jason Roberts who moans at the referee from the off while the goalscorers Rochina & Goodwillie are left on the bench is beyond me.Kean should be vblamed for the penalty misses - they should have been prepared but neither man looked confident and yet Goodwillie who is a confident striker is left watching - sort it out - I know we dont get penalties but with a referee like today who was poor for the whole 90 minutes you just never know.

Football now is sadly about poor refereeing in the Premier League - they think they are good but compared to referees of 15 years ago they just do not seem to understand the game and their assistants are no help whatsoever - they only get involved when its a safe decision.

Good job they dont make the Referees Asserssors report available to the public because poor performances like today just do not get any comeback - The ref will out next week ruining another game that people pay good money to watch

Not going to comment on other aspects of your game, but I watched it on an internet feed from an eastern european country. Everton's penalty didn't strike me as "dodgy" - your player (Samba?) could clearly be seen climbing up the back of the Everton player, knee-ing him in the back of the head in the process. Whatever arguments you may have, saying it wasn't an Everton penalty isn't one of them.

Agree that we were so unlucky today and any other day we would have surely won easily.

BUT Kean has to take responsibility for handicapping us by putting that starting line-up out.

No Formica (our best player so far this season) no Goodwillie and no Rochina. They would have been included by almost every Rovers fan - instead of Pedersen, Roberts and Dunn. Why buy a rolls royce and drive a banger!?

The next game at Arsenal must be the last chance saloon for Kean now?

no doubt kean will say "we controlled the game", yes we did, against a team that had as much gumption as burnley, when they were in the premier league. every other premiership team and probably most championship clubs, would have dispatched everton today.
as soon as the everton penalty was awarded, everybody got up and left. its not being disloyal, we've just had enough, who on earth would want to stay and watch yet another team celebrate a victory against us.
When every ex-professional football player and football commentator, and journalist to a man and woman, every week!!!, writes or says something negative about our chances, or in keans football abilities, you have to eventually take notice.

When things are going against you, all you can do is suck it up and tough it out.
*
Even though you can say we were 100% unlucky today one blinding thing still hits home - playing Roberts. Kean must be clueless to keep playing him. He is slow, predictable and ineffective. He used to be OK, but now he is too old and limited.
*
Goodwillie came on in the 72nd minute! - and still did more than Roberts. Dunn got injured - again. So - bye bye to both him and Roberts, I say. Your bodies aren't up to the job and all they are doing is blagging it.

I thought that was a really good performance but think we got absolutely raped...but saw it coming from such a weak in the last minute by the ref! Not sure how anything that happened today is Kean or Venkys fault because it is down to the players to put the ball in the net come kick-off and nobody can seriously suggest we didn't play well or dserve to win...but I'm sure some will. Gutted.
Yep, we absolutely mullered them and on another day would have been 5 up before the predictable happened in the last minute.

if we continue like this, kean will do to us, what bond did to burnley. all of our new signings deemed not good enough to start!!!, "why did kean buy them if he thought we had better players already here".
no doubt kean will say "we controlled the game", yes we did, against a team that had as much gumption as burnley, when they were in the premier league. every other premiership team and probably most championship clubs, would have dispatched everton today.
as soon as the everton penalty was awarded, everybody got up and left. its not being disloyal, we've just had enough, who on earth would want to stay and watch yet another team celebrate a victory against us.
When every ex-professional football player and football commentator, and journalist to a man and woman, every week!!!, writes or says something negative about our chances, or in keans football abilities, you have to eventually take notice.
I didn’t want kean from day one, but as a loyal fan, like many others, we have bent over backwards to give him the benefit of the doubt. Now there isn’t any doubt, none whatsoever. Kean has to go!!!! Rover and out mr. kean

Whatever arguments you may have, saying it wasn't an Everton penalty isn't one of them.

Don't really care about the performance today. Yes it was an improvement but it barely makes up for the dross in the Wolves and Villa games.

I'm interested in points and winning.

Kean has brought us 5 wins from 24 league games. A pathetic 22 points from a possible 72. Even an improvement on this rate will see us relegated. We don't have time to 'wait and see'.

I`m no fan of Kean, but please don`t be idiots and blame him for this defeat. Junior and Mauro must be to blame for the penalty-misses, the rest of the players for the rest of the misses and the ref for the wrong decision in injury time.

We played well today and today is not the day to blame Kean for the result. Anyone saying that, please explain.
No you are right - you can't blame SK for players missing penaties and we did play well - especially when we had the team on the field (but Everton were truely TERRIBLE and negative) that should have started the game.
.
This is where SK must take HUGE blame - you cannot now start with MGP & DD - at the expense of Formica and Jason Roberts infront of Goodwillie ????
.
Even by his own PITIFUL STANDARDS (1 goal per 5.4 games for Rovers) JR had an absolute SHOCKER.
.
This was poor, negative management and if it carries on then make no mistake, we will be relegated.
.
We are in a RELEGATION BATTLE - anyone (including our owners, KDG and Lusorover) who dosent yet realise this needs a huge reality check, ASAP.
.
If we are going to get out of trouble then we need to do things as quickly as possible -
.
1 - Sack SK and bring in someone who is going to actually get us to win games (6 wins in 26 games is totaly unacceptable)
.
2 - DO NOT sell CS - if this happens in this or Jan transfer window then we will prob get relegated.
.
3 - Sign more AND better quality players (ie Cisse at Friburg - worth every penny of 15m euro's).
.
4 - Get rid of the old guard (DD, JR, MGP, Salgado and to a lesser extent Nelson) - they have served us well over some tough years but there time has come and gone and they are no longer EPL quality players - the longer they all remain in the 1st team, the longer we are going to struggle.
.
If we face the REALITY of our situation, and then DEAL with our situation and start doing things RIGHT that currently our owners and manager are currently doing wrong then we will be okay.
.
But first and foremost before we can go forward we have ALL (especially our owners) to accept that there ARE problems both on and off the pitch.

He probably thought it was more exciting than watching Horwich getting turned inside out by Liverpool.
Anyway
Bad day today, you always get one game a season that you should have won but you end up getting slapped. This was ours, only trouble is it now puts us in a dire situation with our upcoming home games.
As said before, you make your own luck in football and the buck stops with Kean. If we had the players already in, bedded in nicely and used to playing together before the season starts, we would have had 9 points by now. So now your putting players with little experience and a very young line up under increased pressure which is not what is required.
Kean needs to be replaced, his judgement is flawed and its going to cost us our premier league status.
Stats don't lie even though the manager does. I really think we may be in trouble now, the longer the slump continues, the harder it is to get out of it.
Rochina was worth a punt after his performance in the cup, and we said in the last league game that Dunny and peders were blowing too much.
A much improved performance I admit, but we really needed the points today so I'm afraid Kean your time is up. Stick to coaching, scouting and drinking. Before you came in Roberts was our third choice striker, he was on his way out, you can't keep giving him a place because he greases your pole have you not worked it out yet why he wasn't first choice? Honestly.

We played brilliantly today. Would have been fitting for Emerton to slot away the penalty but wasn't to be. I have to admit that Mean has got us playing slick football, but why on earth did Kean leave Roberts on for so long. Woeful! Bring back Sparky I say; and don't let Roberts grace the hallowed turf ever again!

We might score goals if he drops roberts and starts with goodwillie but its been clear for a while roberts is un droppable despite being the worst striker in the premiership by a country mile!

It was clear from the beginning that this guy was way, way, way out of his depth.

Astonished that Pederson was in the starting 11 his cameo appearance was abysmal. Roberts performance no more than nuisance value and his inability to control the ball in the danger area is an embarassment. Assume his early departure was to allow time to prepare for his date with 606. Formica looks a class act and MUST be included from the start. Salgado is past his sell by date. SK must realise the experienced players are letting him down and will have to put his faith in the new arrivals.

I am hoping Vucinic will be a much better signing than what I saw of Petrovic today he was half a minute off the pace and looked scared to head the ball.. Woeful display he might have looked good against SWFC but they had half the team out that had lost 14-0 a few weeks earlier..he needs to improve big time..

Get over it Dingles, no i wasn't at Anfiled i watched it on telly.
Now lets talk about something important, something hilariously funny, the demise of the 'once' great one season wonders.You've had the easiest start to any season by any club in the history of the premiership. Wolves at home, LOST, Villa away,LOST, Everton at home LOST. Bottom of the league no points, Clueless owners who don't even want to live in your poxy little town, a backstabbing, yes man, clueless manager, plummeting gates and the 'supporters are revolting and yet NOS or as i prefer Nothing But Sh*te, wants to talk about whether i was at Anfield or not .What a KNOB.

Yes I know that is cruel after one of the best Rovers performances for a couple of years - real sign's of your SWAN Mr Woody. The irony of Dunny our penalty taker having gone off? What a dire decision for the Everton penalty and our players need to make a vow that for luck they will not touch wood. Had we been 2 or 3 up no one could have complained.
.
But the feeling persists based over many games that Kean is a coach like Kidd who can't hack it as a manager and is naive at times which can cost you dear in this league. With the resources available we need a quality manager like the above who can utilise those resources and inspire the team with confidence.
.
The next 4 home games are Arsenal, Chelsea, Spurs and Citeh so our away form will have to improve drastically or we will be deep in the mire by the end of October?
.
Positives - Formica, Goodwillie, Samba and Givet back, Hoilett, Robbo. Olsson.
Negatives - Kean keeps losing.

I dont like Kean or think he should be manager but you cant fire him on todays perfomance but on his overall performance.Today we were by far the better team,Robinson made two notable contributions but was quiet for most of the game,solid pro.I think apart from the penalty miss (which he was far too casual for)Hoilett was a star,caused them no end of problems with his pace and touch.Olsson was also impressive for me at left back,the boy Formica did incredibly well to get the two penalties,pity he was just of the mark with the second one but thats the way penalties go.I think Goodwille when he came on made some contributions to the attack but needs more discipline,having said that his shot against the bar from between the guys legs was magic.Now Samba was my man of the match,you f@ckers drool over Phil Jones just cause he's local,well Chorley is not Blackburn
and that big man was Blackburn through and through today.

Unbelievable. Two penalties wasted. The fact is you can't start whining about no luck etc, we shouldn't be relying on luck to win games. Yes Evertons penalty was a bad decision by the ref but if Blackburn had put theirs away it wouldn't have mattered. If Blackburn were scoring from open play, it wouldn't have mattered. Still no points and looking unlikely to pick any up. When are we going to do something about getting rid of these know nothing useless owners. Pack them up and p*** them off with their useless choice of manager.
you obviously dont have any common sense!! pack them up and get rid?? like how, THEY BOUGHT THE CLUB YOU PR@CK, they can do what they like. Also, who would you suggest is going to buy the club??
You cant do anything about the owners, all you can do is hope they sack Kean
kean out kean out kean out
Well I wouldn't expect someone like you to understand. You have to have a bit of forward thinking. If they get rid of Kean they will just be looking to bring in another puppet manager and they will still be making the same stupid decisions because they know nothing about football and don't have the money they say they do. So Kean out, Kean out, Kean out will only see Kean II brought in you thick, tw@. It must have taken all your one brain cell to print Kean out a whole 3 times.
.
Venkys are a virus who will kill off Blackburn Rovers. If you idiots would realise that now we could boycott games and when the club stops being profitable for Venkys then they will sell and the club can start to rebuild. It's called taking a step back to move forwards. What have Venkys done for Blackburn Rovers??????? £22000000 profit from the sale of players, of which only £6.7 million used to buy new players. Not a bad turn over for only owning the club for such a short time. Wake up you idiots Blackburn Rovers and its fans are being used by Venkys and we will pay the ultimate price for it. Everton @home should have been a sure thing for 3 points, so should Wolves. Time is running out. If you have any loyalty to the CLUB, not the owners, the CLUB then we have to act.

Keane must be sacked,Venky must spend more cash ,new manager,a striker,a defender otherwise Rovers must be now favourite for relegation.Keane is naive,when we sold Jones, Kalinic,and returned those players on loans,Benjani,Santa Cruz and Diuof,we didn't buy a defender,lost three exprienced strikers and bought a kid from Dundee and now we are in big trouble.Keane you must go,Venky spend big or sell up and go back where you came from.
sell up to who exactly???
Plenty of buyers around the world,look at QPR sold.Venky are just not spending,many clubs have been active in the transfer markets over the weeks and Keane bought only Three players while 12 players left.Where is the money from the sale Of Jones and Kalinic ,£24 million plus another £10 million promised by Venky?looking for cheap foriegn imports and kids with no experience,if Keane cannot attract good players,he should step down and bring back Sparkie?Venky should be told spend or sell up because the fans are not happy right now.Listen to the fans they want Keane out an experience manager appointed and Venky put money their money where their money is and get rid of their sporting advisory( Kentaro) ,because thats not the way English Premierships clubs are runned today.
Save your breath, this guy knows nothing of business or life or the world. He seems to think that billionaires stand outside football grounds displaying their intent to buy clubs. If Rovers came up for sale there would be a buyer and anyone would be better than Venkys. A fan buyout would be far preferable to Venkys. The only way to get rid of them is stop giving them your money. At some point we'll have to before we end up being tubbed at Ewood by the F***ing Dingles.............
.......Kean out is not enough, WE NEED VENKYS OUT!!!!!!!!

I don't suppose you've heard of the mobile Internet in the outback, still you have to laugh don't you, you just have to laugh as the Blackburn circus continues, all the countries having a right old knees up, no more so than your friends down the road, I'll toast to that losers!!
So he was at Anfield and thought. I know what, I'll stop watching the game and post an annoying message on the LET site???
He probably thought it was more exciting than watching Horwich getting turned inside out by Liverpool.
Anyway
Bad day today, you always get one game a season that you should have won but you end up getting slapped. This was ours, only trouble is it now puts us in a dire situation with our upcoming home games.
As said before, you make your own luck in football and the buck stops with Kean. If we had the players already in, bedded in nicely and used to playing together before the season starts, we would have had 9 points by now. So now your putting players with little experience and a very young line up under increased pressure which is not what is required.
Kean needs to be replaced, his judgement is flawed and its going to cost us our premier league status.
Stats don't lie even though the manager does. I really think we may be in trouble now, the longer the slump continues, the harder it is to get out of it.
Rochina was worth a punt after his performance in the cup, and we said in the last league game that Dunny and peders were blowing too much.
A much improved performance I admit, but we really needed the points today so I'm afraid Kean your time is up. Stick to coaching, scouting and drinking. Before you came in Roberts was our third choice striker, he was on his way out, you can't keep giving him a place because he greases your pole have you not worked it out yet why he wasn't first choice? Honestly.
How can you say "You always get one game you should have won but end up getting slapped"? Were you asleep when Wolves came to 'fortress Ewood'. Or is it the senility that affects your memory. Again, get rid of Kean and we will end up with his clone in charge.

You're a bit dim aren't you my spot squeezing friend. At what point did you think we deserved to win the wolves game? were you watching a different game than everyone else. From where I was wolves deserved to win or do you look through your rose tinted specs, oh sorry forgot, yanking the end off it makes you blind so you fail to see the pitch.
Whereas yesterday we deserved to win, so this was our game that we got suckered with. Do you know anything about football at all?

well what can i say,starts the match with rochina and goodwille on the bench,kean,venkys and sem kentaro,oh an the cash vampie jerome anderson will destroy this club if allowed to to carry on,i can not believe that anyone now does not realise how deep we are in the mire.please venkys get rid ofkean anderson and sever your links with sem kentaro,get a proven premier leauge manager soon or the club will drown like a cat in a bag
kean is not and will never be a success as a manager the man is clearly deluded
the heart and soul has been ripped out of the club,the infrastructure destroyed
if we do not get rid of kean,mark my words we will die as a club
please realise this is reality,no more anyone sayind it isnt keans fault,he is the manager.he could not motivate a drowning man to grab a life ring
i do hope that venkys wake up and smell the coffee before its to late
if blackburn is venkys baby,KEAN MUST BE THEIR DUMMY

How on earth can the deal signing George John from Dallas fall through, when all that had to be done was sort out personal terms?
The guy did not want to be at Dallas, went to Greece to get his passport to clear the way for him to sign and only gets paid $42,000 a year. (25,700 pounds).
Have Venky's got any money or ambition for our club?
Something is seriously wrong!!!

Oh how you amuse me, how you log in under different names on the Rovers forum , peddling your plop.

The reality is Rovers have had much more success than the no-marks for a long, long , long time.

You keep banging on about us not playing each other much over the last 30yrs, but who's fault is that?, the fact is the no-marks have ALWAYS been in a lower division (or three :) than the mighty Blues.

Jog on Mr Ploppy.
