9:40pm Tuesday 29th November 2011 in Blackburn Rovers match reports
BLACKBURN Rovers have crashed out of the Carling Cup after losing to Championship side Cardiff City - a result that puts even more pressure on under-fire boss Steve Kean.
Kenny Miller sent the Welsh club on their way in tonight's quarter-final clash with an 19th minute opener, and Anthony Gerrard doubled Cardiff's lead three minutes into the second-half.
Rovers were on the back foot when Miller opened the scoring for the Welsh side, the striker collecting a pass from Aron Gunnarsson before firing through Mark Bunn's legs.
Miller went close to doubling Cardiff's lead but was thwarted by Scott Dann's goal-line clearance.
David Dunn almost equalised for Rovers with a spectacular 30-yard volley, but Cardiff keeper Tom Heaton kept out the midfielder's strike.
Gerrard doubled Cardiff's advantage just after the interval, heading into an empty net after Bunn failed to collect a corner.
Kean threw on Jason Roberts and Yakubu to add extra firepower, but Rovers could not find a way back into the match.

Burnley fans must absolutely love these criminals it really is something to turn a top 10 side into the worst team in the league inside 1 year!
I think we all need to write to the Prime Minister with our concerns and demand a full investigation into the club.

There are alot of positives to take out of this defeat. We only let in 2 and lost 2-0. Its an improvement on letting in 3.

Maybe if we played in the championship next season under Kean we would be higher in the table?

From the BBC... 2046: You can tell a lot about a man from his choice of jackets, and Steve Kean is obviously confident he is going nowhere as he's just strode out of the tunnel in a belter of a new coat. He's splashed the cash there which is not the antics of a Scotsman fearing the sack.

We are witnessing the death of our football club. This is a very bad time in our history.
.
I'm not sure how we deal with it.
.
I'm 100% certain we will be relegated, and the Championship is no place for a club with no structure, so what will follow?
.
I'm a Blue and will be till the day I die.
.
Somehow, we have to support the team, the shirt, the badge, not the individual players (we're actually going back to the old 3rd division days).
.
I urge everybody to get down Ewood on Saturday, support the team but give Venkys and the puppet Kean as much flack as we can muster.
.
Jim Iley was a despised manager at Ewood but this man Kean is something else.
.
I seriously believe he would not be able to walk through the streets of Blackburn without being attacked.
.
Sad times.

ChrisSutton wrote:I resent "doctor" being used anywhere near Keans name Chris! Alas I feel Venky's will stick by him yet again. What is really going on? This is so far away from normality it's untrue. I'm really not one one for conspiracies but something stinks in all this. Why are they systematically destroying something so precious to many thousands? I'm absolutely devastated with what they are doing, where does it end?
What the hell has happened with Vuckcevic? He's hardly featured since being bought, how the bloody hell does Roberts and Blackman get ahead of him in the team? Beggars belief.
At other clubs, they sign players and play them. Not with Kean. For some explicable reason any signing has to be given 6months before featuring. And Vuck is not a young lad, he's a seasoned international who held his own against England last month.
Tonights score, utterly predictable I'm afraid. We're incapable of defending under Kean, even if we play teams that have had goal scoring problems, they score 2-3 against us easy. The guy is a kit-man masquarading as a Premier League manager. I would be ASHAMED to have taken a cool payrise to £1.5m if I were him.
Have some feckin' dignity Steve. You've already hit the lottery and got a lot of money out of our club, if you have any semblance of love for our club then leave and give us the best possible chance of staying up.
I genuinely fear for riots etc on Saturday. There is no doubt now there is 99.9% of fans who want Kean out, and a lot of those are getting more and more angry with his goading and spin-doctoring bs.

i think its really important that we look at the stats and take the positives out of tonight.....apart from the main stat (obviously) i thought that we put in a good performance tonight.
.
1) we have stopped (for a night) conceding 3
2) our keeper (no idea what he is called, but he looks good in training) only had two saves to make
3) it gave me a good look at the standard of championship clubs, so we will be read next
4) we were able to have a look at some fringe players
5) i thought we dealt well in difficult conditions
6) elimination now gives us a chance to build momentum in the league, where it really matters
7) its always difficult playing against an international team - so after tonight we will be ready for a welsh team on saturday
8) our discipline is getting better - none of our players got sent off tonight
9) the pies were nice
10) i still got paid last friday

Kean is a symptom of Venkys ineptitude or complicit asset stripping. Our only hope is for Quatar Petroleum to make a serious bid. Shame on any Rovers fans who have criticised the protesters- they saw the iceberg before anyone. I fear it's already too late....

These knobheads can't even get the shirt printed the right way round. I've worked with Indians for over five years, they're tight as fk and NEVER admit to being wrong. They rather see something turn to sh8 than admit a mistake. Or put a different body in to make the same mistakes all over again. I'm not going to condone that by witnessing it.

We sacked Sam Allardyce and we replaced him with this. I will be astounded if he is in charge for the Swansea match, but everything has astounded me since Venkys have taken over.
After all this we should twin ourselves with Racing Santander as Indians are wrecking them as well. Tippoos revenge!!

How you can comment on other Clarets posting on here and saying It's disrespectful is really beyond believe.
Do you think for one moment they would give too hoots if we were in the same situation?
Have you forgot about the plane flying over the Turf?
You voice your comments as you like but please don't quote on fellow Clarets comments and chastising just because you have your own thoughts regarding Rovers but keep them to yourself or at least just on their forum.
Lot's of Clarets fans have and had a great respect for Mr Jack Walker and what he done for that Club.
Time has moved on and they sold out to the Venky's. So this has nothing to do with time's gone by with Mr JW, this is now the present.

y ….the Swansea game is the first time I want Rovers to get beat…..it’s the only possible hope for the club to survive …….a draw, a win he’ll still be here…my fear is, even after another defeat he‘ll still be here….I hope I’m not right that he’s unsackable ………Surely whoever owns the club(not sure its Venkeys) can see that relegation is financially worse than staying the prem ……..all other clubs strive for the prem and Rovers don’t!

Burnley fans must absolutely love these criminals it really is something to turn a top 10 side into the worst team in the league inside 1 year!
I think we all need to write to the Prime Minister with our concerns and demand a full investigation into the club.

Stone Island wrote:Oh how I hate this man(Kean) at the moment. Stone Island, like yourself, I seen what was coming months ago with this backstabbing clown and Venkies. Most of the posters on here know I've moved to Canada, and apart from recently, nothing has been highlighted regarding the unrest at Ewood. It Is now being noticed, but not on a big scale like the UK. But they are watching developements more now. And for that reason alone, I feel the time has come to protest throughout the game against Swansea regarding Kean & Co, because the whole match Is shown over here every week, and lots of Interest because of Hoilett. The world Is now watching with Interest, because one of my colleagues Is from Kansas in the U.S.A., and he even mentioned the trouble Rovers are facing at the moment. It's took along time, but people are starting to notice, so for that reason, we need to step up and be counted this weekend. And Stone Island, sing twice as loud for me pal. Good luck everybody, let's get this shower out of our Club!

Kean is a symptom of Venkys ineptitude or complicit asset stripping. Our only hope is for Quatar Petroleum to make a serious bid. Shame on any Rovers fans who have criticised the protesters- they saw the iceberg before anyone. I fear it's already too late....
There are some shorted sighted people on here who have stuck with a lost cause and took aim at others with different views
Wish I could be there to protest in person, make some noise for me

people keep going on about protesting for god sake when will u wake up it wont bother them one bit weve bee protesting and all that we got was an improved contract they dont care.if you want to do your bit boycott the game saturday ticket holders too they can NOT ignore an empty stadium or half empty we have a duty as a fan now to show our strength and our strength is bums on seats and paying wages the strongest card we can play is stay away on saturday they can not ignore that

The problem may lie with someone other than the Venkys. I am surprised that more fans have not raised what role has Jerome Anderson got and waht is he actually doing at Ewood anyway; a rather dark figure lurking in the background. An agent who sees this as purely a money making exercise; or is it he who is actually pulling the strings. After all football is a business and no longer the sport it was in the heyday of this fine club. The Venkys see the Rovers as a brand and this has a little or no connection with the ideals of the Blackburn Rovers of the past. The performance yesterday was appalling I am afraid and the players look disinterested, unfit both mentally and run down. I remember when Mark Hughes first took over and the team walked off at Stamford Bridge arguing amongst themselves and totally demoralised; Mark Hughes fixed it and the team improved and the club prospered.

I guess it's easier to just report Kean's inane quotes and wait for 200+ comments to be posted than get off their ar5e and do any real journalism.
