FULL TIME: Blackburn Rovers 1 Hull City 0
10:54pm Wednesday 22nd August 2012 in Blackburn Rovers match reports
COLIN Kazim-Richards' goal gave Blackburn Rovers victory over Hull City tonight.
The Turkish international followed up his goal at Ipswich on Saturday with the winner in the 77th minute at Ewood Park.
The match was watched by a crowd of 13,562 – Rovers’ lowest attendance for a league game for almost 20 years – with co-owners Venkatesh and Balaji Rao in the stands.
Kazim-Richards found the side netting early on but Paul Robinson had to parry from Nick Proschwitz at the other end, with Abdoulaye Faye heading over.
Rovers substitute Bruno Ribeiro saw his effort saved by Ben Amos after the interval before the breakthrough arrived.
Nuno Gomes did well to take a cross on his chest and his shot was charged down, with Kazim-Richards on hand to fire home after a scramble.
Rovers: Paul Robinson, Bradley Orr, Scott Dann, Gael Givet, Marcus Olsson, Jason Lowe, Dickson Etuhu, Danny Murphy, Fabio Nunes (Nuno Gomes 62), David Dunn (Bruno Ribeiro 62), Colin Kazim-Richards (Morten Gamst Pedersen 85). Subs not used: Jake Kean, Grant Hanley, Paulo Jorge, Edinho.

Taken from Claretsmad -
There will be various reasons for lower gates at Bol - Ewood.
Reason 1 - " I am never going on again until Venkys have gone "
Reason 2 - " I am never going on again until Kean has gone "
Reason 3 - " I will never step foot in there again until Venkys and Kean have gone "
Reason 4 - " I will never go on again until they sack Kean, Venky and Hendry "
Reason 5 - " I am never going on again until the Venkys start talking us "
They all basiclly mean "I will go on again when we are back in the Premier League "

this was a very important and a very a good win (any win is good) but to win the first home game of the season was absolutely vital for the club.
This makes the point at Ipswich look very good also now (especially as Ipswich won away at Watford last night).
Hope KR is ok, we are pretty short on strikers right now and he really looks like the real deal - loved his' kung-fu' corner flag kick after his goal!
Just need to sign another striker and a defender and we are well placed to push for a return to the prem!

Very boring to watch, Murphy shouting instructions but had no idea when he got the ball.
David Dunn is done time to put out to the night clubs and curry houses
Orr, Dann Lowe are no better than Sunday pub players.
The two Portuguese players looked good.
Were will we get income from this season? no sponsors, nearly every advertising hording around the ground bare & a very mediocre crowd who did not enjoy a very dull game
If Leicester city had scouts at the game tonight we are in for a defeat this weekend.

It must be terrible to be a dingle at anytime, but with half the fans boycotting the games we still get more on than them, and with the worse manager in our history we are still higher in the League than them. Maybe we need handicapping so that they can catch us up. You only have to look at the number of posts by dingles on Rovers stories V the number of posts against their own reports to see how jealous and bitter they are. I know that loads of them will read this post because they are obsessed with Rovers.

Says more about our national game going downhill than anything else, LT reports plenty of Kean our chants (well done to those who went).
Another plus it shows our illustrious owners at the ground in the LT, so they to are seeing the sh!te we watched last year, hoping to hear Shebby talking about sacking Kean after all the above is pointed to the Venky boys.

According to all reports the performance did not justify the result. In other words it was probably home advantage that won it for us. The performance was dire. One up front at home? Nothing changes, he has not got a clue! Attendance as low as when the stadium was being rebuilt!
Get him out NOW!

1) blackburn were a nothing club until jack walker arrived (not to the town and its supporters it wasn't)
2) now that he has gone we have to accept it (jack has been dead for over 10 years and we accept it
3) fans should get behind the team (they do - its kean that they have an issue with)
4) if they dont like it they should stay away (10,000 did and then you slagged the moff for not going)
5) kean is the manager to take them up (why? - and you backed him all through last season and when we finally got relegated you admitted he was out of his depth)
6) blackburn rovers has an excellent chance of automatic promotion this season (what do you base this on? - we cant defend, we have a manager who is tactically inept, we are unfit)
alan brazil is clearly in the kean fan club - he is a member of the drunken scottish oaf loudmouth git society - and if anybody wants to see what else he has in common with his buddy steve:

The sad tw*ts even produced a replica programme to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the infamous Orient game.
That says a lot for the bunch of under-achieving wan*ers, that they are proud to have avoided falling into oblivion by the skin of their teeth. What it does explain though is why they're such a jealous bunch of tiny brained 6 fingered inbreds. Must be difficult to live 10 miles away from a place that boasts the only town team to ever win the Premiership. No wonder they spend longer on our forums than they do being interested their own dog 5hit club!

As Alan Brazil said - a nothing club until Jack Walker took over and bought you the league title.
Oh and to the numpty that talked about Burnley's attendances in 1987 - the very same season you were in the equivalent of the Championship and your average attendance was just over 6k - also in 1991 your average attendace just over 8k and two years later that had doubled - hmmm, wonder what caused that?

The Rovers that went (around 12 thousand Rovers fans) well fair play to them too as they certainly also made their feelings known as the chants of Kean OUT echoed around the empty stadium.
The Rao Brothers saw the situation as it really is at last - they saw how many fans stayed away and then they saw how the fans that did attend only want one thing - Kean OUT - even when we are winning.
The message cannot have been any plainer for them.
Now they need to report back to Mum Desai and get her to act on this immediately. No talk of Kean having 3 losses or 7 games or any kind of targets. Just sack him. Now.
The win and the 4pts gained will give a new manager a very sound platform to take us forward.....

Robinson - two great saves showed that he is up for the fight this season.
Etuhu - looked head and shoulders above the Hull midfield. Played well and looks like there is room for improvement.
Murphy - was a bit off target with his passing but I though there were some signs of a promising partnership developing between him and Etuhu.
Kazim-Richards - looked hungry for the ball and showed good technique. 2 goals in his first 2 games is a great return for someone who has just joined the club. He probably has more improvement to come and could be a great player at this level.
Nuno Gomes - looked like a proper centre forward when he came on and showed some good touches, including the lay off which led to the goal. Maybe he was on the bench in an attempt to keep him fresh, given that we have 3 games in a week.
I think it is unrealistic to expect a team with so many new faces, and especially a new centre midfield, to gel straight away. I think that there is hope that we can be a dominant side in this division once the team have 10-15 games under their belt.
On a flip side, Dunn looked like he's put on another stone. Unless he can get fitter then surely his appearances should be limited to coming off the bench.

Listened on 5live, we were described as lacklustre and lacking ideas. Typical Kean team then. It sounded very quiet at Ewood. The happy-clappers need to make less noise on here and more noise at the games.
Any way we won, kept a clean sheet against an admittedly poor Hull side who came to shut up shop and nearly succeeded. It is worth noting that it was obvious that we needed to get Nunes and Dunny off as they were not in the game and that we needed another man up with CKR
Suprisingly in good time SK made the changes, brought on Gomes and Bruno, Marcus was then free to bomb on and Gomes made the difference up top, looking very good. So the tactically inept one got it right this time. Will it last, ?
let's see..meanwhile to chant Kean out at the ground during a game is so stupid and gives our critics like the Brazil nut more ammo.

According to all reports the performance did not justify the result. In other words it was probably home advantage that won it for us. The performance was dire. One up front at home? Nothing changes, he has not got a clue! Attendance as low as when the stadium was being rebuilt!
Get him out NOW!
They have said what is past is past, so no referral to previous performance possible.
I am afraid they will have to sit tight until the points tally starts to significantly drop Were the 'tipping point' is is anybodies guess, nd you can pick your own. However, only the owners can determine this,so its a case of letting them get on with it and what will be, will be.

The Rovers fans that stayed away last night got us the leading headlines in the news...the lowest crowd since the early nineties was the headline in most papers and on SKY....
The Rovers that went (around 12 thousand Rovers fans) well fair play to them too as they certainly also made their feelings known as the chants of Kean OUT echoed around the empty stadium.
The Rao Brothers saw the situation as it really is at last - they saw how many fans stayed away and then they saw how the fans that did attend only want one thing - Kean OUT - even when we are winning.
The message cannot have been any plainer for them.
Now they need to report back to Mum Desai and get her to act on this immediately. No talk of Kean having 3 losses or 7 games or any kind of targets. Just sack him. Now.
The win and the 4pts gained will give a new manager a very sound platform to take us forward.....
A win is a win is a win, I guess.
From my house the crowd did sound subdued.
I didn't listen or watch anything last night pal just caught the end scoreline.
Such a crying shame that the win isn't properly celebrated with all matters at hand.
I like the look of the table though at the moment :)
13,000 although down on previous years not a bad turn out.
T'up the Rovers

If they can't or won't sack him during an 18 month run of dire results then perhaps using their twisted logic they WILL sack him during a run of collecting points. Or is that just wishful thinking? Anyway after last nights result the owners present at the match will be under no illusions as to the enormity of the task ahead. Also they are now fully aware of the distaste the fans have for Kean, if they weren't aware before. The stay aways have also made their point very forcefully.

Like many other fans they saw a similar Rovers performance to last season great possession in our own half but little threat except when Olsson bombed forward down the wing but no support in the box for Kazim until the subs came on after 70 mins. As ever vulnerable to switching off in defence and Robinson again saved the day
Etuhu was quality but ran out of steam towards the end, Lowe out of position little threat but worked hard. Orr in the team for his support of the Manager as must have been David Dunn who was even further off the pace than last season.
What really got to me was Kazim was struggling for 5 minutes before coming off with a knock and the bench did nothing until he got another tackle which could have put him out of action for weeks where is the professionalism?
So same tactics just an inferior opposition who failed to take their chances - not all will be as generous. If Venkys believe Rovers will be promoted they are living in a fools paradise

How predictable. Ok dingle, so what you're saying is, if Walker hadn't had invested in Rovers, all transfers wages would be nice and low. In all of world football. No other team would ever have thought of paying big money for players?
Really?
Nothing to go with the millions injected into the game by sky then?
All Jack Walker's fault?
Please explain your position, I could do with a laugh.

I can remember colne dynamos getting the odd gate bigger than burnley.also,when burnley won the league championship back in the early 60's what was your average attendance ?well,I can tell you that it was several thousand less than the rovers who finished in 7th or 8 th place on the league.also,in your last season in the old division one you had only 13,000 watching your beloved team play arsenal.something that would never happen at ewood.
I've got to agree with ya there mate. arsenal are never gonna end up in the, what was it you lot were calling it 12 months ago? Oh yeh the Chumpionship!

Listen to you all - you win and STILL you moan.
Alan Brazil is right you are the biggest set of moaning, whinging, crying tossers that football has ever had the misfortune to host.
I honestly believe some of you would prefer to get beat, as it gives credence to some of the **** spouted on here and elsewhere.
As Alan Brazil said - a nothing club until Jack Walker took over and bought you the league title.
Oh and to the numpty that talked about Burnley's attendances in 1987 - the very same season you were in the equivalent of the Championship and your average attendance was just over 6k - also in 1991 your average attendace just over 8k and two years later that had doubled - hmmm, wonder what caused that? Three words - Senile Jack Walker.
Lowest league gate under 2000 (less than half of our lowest)
90 mins away from being a non league club(and possibly folding)
Have won nothing of note for over 50 years ( does 4th division title count? can't say cos we never been in a position to win basement league!)
10 miles (but a couple of million years on the evolutionary scale) away from Prem title winners, League cup winners and European competitors
Had enough yet or should I continue??
We may be going through a bad spell for the last 2 years, but that's nothing compared to the sh1te dingles have had to endure from dire football, diabolical gates, no investment&a string of excuses and lies from managers, owners and any body else connected with that tinpot club.
Over the last 40years I've followed Rovers the good times at Ewood have outweighed the bad, the same cannot be said at the other end of the M65
At least for us fans below 50 years old we have something in our living memory to be immensely proud of, including a man who walked the walk instead of just talking the talk.
Form is temporary, Class is permanent. A club of the size and stature of Blackburn Rovers will rise again, have no fear of that. I will continue supporting the team and call on all others to do the same. By all means continue to speak out against the present regime of manager/owner(one and the same thing??), protest to your hearts content but always reserve a little place in your heart for our beloved club.

You now ply your trade in the same league as ourselves, you were a nothing club until that brainless old gimmer poured his fortune into your club and bought you the title. Your club invented the plastic supporter and are responsible for the sky-rocketing wages and transfer fees being bandied about nowadays.
You are now going back to what you were pre-fat mental old Jack's money, a nothing club (Copyright Alan Brazil) with a shoite fanbase.
Welcome to the real world sunshine and I for one am looking forward to you dolts eating a massive slice of karma pie, when it all goes financially tits-up for you.
Thanks for showing your intelligence levels with us girls, but its realy not necessary. Your both a very sad relection of your Club and Town. Never mind though a new school term starts soon (providing you haven't robbed or burnt it down) and you can go back to abusing your teachers. I take it you are children, reading your comments you must be.

That's AVERAGE, which was boosted by a 17000 gate in last game of season. They were pulling less than 20000 around Christmas. Obviously we can't predict what our attendances would be in the bottom tier as WE HAVE NEVER BEEN IN IT!
Less than 14000 on eh?
Taken from Claretsmad -
There will be various reasons for lower gates at Bol - Ewood.
Reason 1 - " I am never going on again until Venkys have gone "
Reason 2 - " I am never going on again until Kean has gone "
Reason 3 - " I will never step foot in there again until Venkys and Kean have gone "
Reason 4 - " I will never go on again until they sack Kean, Venky and Hendry "
Reason 5 - " I am never going on again until the Venkys start talking us "
They all basiclly mean "I will go on again when we are back in the Premier League "
BRKFC - THE NATURAL CHOICE OF THE PLASTIC FAN. SINCE 1995!
The sad tw*ts even produced a replica programme to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the infamous Orient game.
That says a lot for the bunch of under-achieving wan*ers, that they are proud to have avoided falling into oblivion by the skin of their teeth. What it does explain though is why they're such a jealous bunch of tiny brained 6 fingered inbreds. Must be difficult to live 10 miles away from a place that boasts the only town team to ever win the Premiership. No wonder they spend longer on our forums than they do being interested their own dog 5hit club!
The only one to buy it.
The only winners of the prem to be relegated from it.
TWICE!
This was in season 2000/01 as Burnley were playing at second tier level (after promotion) for the first time in over 20 years, when attendaces are normally at their best. At the same time Rovers were playing their second season at this level, following a dissapointing first season after relegation from the premier league and without having suffered massive drops in attendances.
This makes a mockery of your assertion that the current drop in attendances is due to the missing "1995 plastic fans" when any sane person knows the truth. Please stick to facts and not nonsensical opinions.

Your now taking all your time quoting from a magazine, now thats dedication. Your teacher will be so proud of you when you start school. I feel a gold star coming on already and term hasn't even started. You clever thing, you. Rovers must mean so much to you, I mean spending all of your time writing about our Club. We should admire you. No,really we must. I bet your sat there all excited now aren't you? with your glass of milk rocking backwards and forwards, gigling and dribbling with anticipation of what your going to find out next about Rovers.Hope your family don't find that book under your bed. I mean why read about your own Club when you can read about a more succesful one. It makes sense really. I bet you secretly sing 'Blue and white army' under your duvet at night. You must do, your obsessed. Don't let your Mum and Uncle hear though or they will be upset, but you know your amongst friends on here though, don't you, thats why we can always find you here. Ahh thats nice.
