Why is smellthecoffee / DiamondsToIndia allowed to keep posting slanderous accusations on these articles? Are the LET not bothered or worried that Venky's / SEM / Kentaro or Jerome Anderson may sue, or are these accusations factual enough for all these parties to stay quiet and hope they go away?

My question(s)...

How is it possible for players and staff of Blackburn Rovers FC to find the time to come on here, masquerade as genuine supporters and then peddle their pro Berg rubbish? Have the authorities investigated this? Who is in the consortium? Why do you remove comments and genuine supporter's accounts Andy?

"Blueblooded" I think you'll find that threats made to me carry more wait than any alleged slanderous comments...whether I decide to contact the police for them to investigate is something I shall take serious consideration over.

How come you're not putting the questions to the Rovers' owners and Board of Directors, Andy?
I think you're labouring under the illusion that the fans' give a fig what you think? It's not YOUR opinion that we are interested in. Ask them to publish a complete list of Jerome Anderson's client list, Kentaro's client list etc. etc.
We expect a journalist to find out the ANSWERS, NOT to ask for QUESTIONS???????

But these people wernt born and dont live in the town of the ex-champions of 95, so how could they sue under Blackburn law?

We need to opt out of EC law, and refuse to be run from a southern government!

Can Hendry be our Braveheart, or will Henning fight them on the beaches?

I dont see the value of this unless the questions are put to Venkys and HB. Why would we want to know Andy Cryer's view

I've just read in the news that women who drink alcohol during pregnancy could risk reducing their child's IQ.

That's rubbish.

My mum used to drink all the time with me and I'm very clevver.

You remind me of Graeme Lister off Vic Reeves Big Night Out.

"I know important people, doctors and architects...you've infected me Reeves..."

Mr Cryer,

How much contact do you have with the Communications Director at Blackburn Rovers ?

How much time do you spend at Ewood Park and Brockhall during a typical week ?

Andy

Can you explain something to me...

When comments made are voted on - and appear to show the "syndicate" in a bad light - why does the rating system become disabled. Then...when it is reactivated later on it displays an extraordinary amount of votes in favour of their pro-Berg comments??

Regardless of what anyone thinks of these annoying people and their comments etc, you would expect the LET to be aware of cases where newspapers have been taken to court and/or made to pay significant settlements for publishing defamatory comments by allowing them to be posted online. All journalists should know the law - by reproducing (either in a quote within a story or by failing to remove from a comment box) defamatory accusations, a newspaper is, in effect, publishing that defamation. I'm not saying what's been said is or isn't true - truth is a defence, however, but newspapers do need to be very careful.

They can read your thoughts...you better fashion yourself a tinfoil hat, that'll block their evil Venky hypno-rays...don't drink tap water either as they've no doubt tainted it with Venky fluoride!

Whoop whoop! Stock up on tinned food and hide under the table...we all work for 'The Syndicate' and we're going to get you!!!

You have stated that Venky's have planned for promotion this year and do not have a Plan B. The suggestion is a doomsday scenario - if Rovers fail this season to get promoted. Will Venky's sell if this happens?

Yes, I work for the Venkys syndicate too. You got me.

Please ask Mr Berg if he is considering strengthening the squad in the January transfer window. We all agree we need a quick right sided player and two centre backs one to replace Orr and one to replace Dann.

Who exactly is the "syndicate"...please enlighten us all with your pearls of wisdom.

Could you let us all know what the major plot is too as then Danny Boyle may turn it into a box office hit.

Get a life.

Sad, just because you want to believe everything is rosy at Ewood park dosen't mean that it is.

Not really. But we don't keep bleating on about unfounded conspiracies when clearly they're talking out of their AR5E.

If you smell what the Berg.. Is.. Cooking.

When was the last time that anyone can remember having ANY communication of ANY description from Mr Agnew (Director of communications)?

12:36pm Sat 17 Nov 12

Lets hope BRFC win today. Were expecting a win...Nothing less will do.

ok
WHY are we not WINNING games...??
in my opinion its because we have too many elderly and slow players in the team.
FOOTBALL is a fast game and they need to be able to last for 90 minutes
Unfortunately BRFC have too many slow or over the hill type players.
For me that's the biggest issue within the team.
we have too many slow players not able to last 90 minutes.
Dann, Hanley, Givet are slow
Murphy, Etuhu, Pederson, Dunn are old and past it.
Gomes is old and not strong enough.
and there's more
what do you think...?
We need fast young energetic players

The centre of our defence is slow and the centre of our midfield is slow.
we certainly can't compete with those players especially as we aim to get back where we belong in the Premiership.

We are missing a midfield general, to dictate play and link up the strikers
We need a big target man to play alongside Rhodes.
We need a fast center back who can play....!!!
what do you think...????
