THE RUBEN & JORDAN COMBINATION IS WORKING GREAT !!!

Well done to all the team who performed fantastic tonight ...

Jordan is playing fantastic .. two for Scotland and I can see him getting 20 for us this season after 40 for Hudds last year ..

I am particularly happy that Ruben is putting some great passes & much need creativity into our games ... Thats two killer passes to Jordan in two games now .. Pity Steve Kean couldnt see a real player when it was in front of his face ..

He's signed on the dole ... he's signed on the dole ... Steve Kean .. He's signed on the dole ...
Oh yes we havnt forgotten all you PRO KEAN fans !!! - Dont you look stupid now !!!!!

WELL DONE HENNING !!!!

Fabulous? But sloppy goal to give away. Still let's not be too critical. After what we have put up with we can forgive them a little slip. Hopefully we are going to go on a long run of wins. Especially on Dec 2nd.
Rhodes, Rochina magic!

Looks like Rovers are just coming into form at the right time.

Brilliant tonight, Posh are struggling, and Rovers took full advantage, which in the past has not always happened.

One game at a time, but the future is looking rosy.

My first away game. 1-0 at half-time if I remember right. Getting stick at HT from Vale supporters about missing out on promotion. Scored 4 second half and secured promotion with that win.

A win against whatevertheyrecalled doesn't really compare to that. The home game against this ragbag outfit should be the easiest game of the season.

Welldone and Rhodes is amazing in the box again with his foot and head.

I feel , the players did a good job, but don't forget the posh team is not so great to face and access our strength.

Murphy and Etuhu need more control in the game, I saw the impact is not there in both of them.

Rochina need more Shooting pratice, lots of time he dosen't get the timing with the ball. Ollson brother's are cool, they did a good work in the posh game.

I feel Formica need more running with pace to win and control the ball. he some time lost the pace, which is not acceptable. Robbo is showing great courage, he miss the clean sheet in the last 10 mts. Always the team had this problem at the ending time. lazy effort and lost the ball in front of our box.

Over all the team is showing great improvement, Thanks- ORR is gone for loan, see the difference. hahahahah.

Best of luck on 24th Nov .

Not sure i agree Kaz, i think Etuhu is lazy less mobile than Murphy for me.
Just iron out a few of Rubens passing issues and we have a fantastic partnerhip with Rhodes. Up the Rovers.

what a day out that was, there must have been around five thousand Rovers fans on that open end....most of them well inebriated and we were going to have a party come what may...and what a party. It carried on back in Blackburn as the Rovers fans arrived home too....never seen as many people stood on tables in pubs as that night....hope we don't have to wait as long for the next 4-1 away.....could it be at the Turd..?

very encouraging and Rochina is certainly a talent BUT will someone at Ewood stop him from shooting repeatedly from ridiculous positions when there are far better options on.......... Formica does it also.

I hope Kean watched that match. Same players, different manager. How to turn a ragtag side into a smooth, free flowing, energetic outfit. I hope the Venky's are hanging their head in shame. The last two years should never have happened. A proper manager at last.
Interesting comment on tv....Rovers had on the bench players with over 200 and odd international caps between them. What other team can beat that?

Just angry that people keep looking back through rose tinted glasses.

Allardyce did not want to be a Ewood, for 12 to 18 months before he left he made it very clear that he was far too good for us and was touting himself all over the place, including Barcelona if I remember correctly.

In the meantime he inflicted the worst ever style of football I have ever seen at Ewood in over 40 years of supporting the blues, not to mention certain games against one particular club that left a great deal of doubt in my mind.

We have just won 4 -1 away from home, played some excellent football in the process and personally I can't wait for the next game, something I have rarely done for the last 4 years or so.

I logged on looking for positives for a change, and the word "disgusted" actually disgusted me.

Late Jack Walker only visited some Rovers matches.He wasn't there 90% of the times at Ewood so i used to keep his seat warm all the time for the 10% of the match he use to visit.The Venky brothers ,uncles , aunts,cousins and the rest of their family are always at Ewood Park.You see let me tell you a true story Walkers flogged off this club and left the town now that you have to accept that the owners are Indians which the 10,000 stayaway fans do not like us Indians.Many big companies in UK are owned by Indians.By 2025 India will be the new economic superpower along with USA,China and Japan.BRFC is in good hands.THere were no American or Arab Billionaires were intrested in buying BRFC.

The contrasting fortunes of Big Sam and Mark Hughes are rather problematic to those Rovers fans who demonise the former and idolise the latter.

He loves the club,the fans and the town.Get behind Henning Berg,come out and support our beloved club and the current players.Only time will tell that Venky has made the right choice if he is the manager that came in to succeed where Kean made a mess of our club.Only 14,000 came to Ewood Park to greet this new manager.The 10,000 stayaway fans take note you have take the rough with the smooth.
BRFC need a sponser on the shirt, i hope Indian companies like the TATA,Birla,M&M,A


irte
l,Kingfisher,Infosys



,Euro Garages,Euo Packaging,Northern Foods,Reliance,Sail,



Air India,New Look,Poundstrechers,



B&M,Corus,Land Rover/Jaguar,Tetley Tea,Voi Jeans,Arcelor Steel,ICICI Bank,Maruti Suzuki and many others would consider this great club in Blackburn owned by an Indian in a town with over 20,000 Indian population.

Perhaps if the owners actually turned up to the games, to take the rough with the smooth, as you put it, it might set an example to the stayaway fans you are preaching to.

You're bang on there , If Berg does manage to succeed at Ewood and get us part way back to where we were just a couple of years ago ,as we all pray, then he will have done it despite the fact that venkys have , and allowed others to mismanage the club for their own profit and ego,s to the extant that our once proud and respected Club became a laughing stock around the football world. Hopefully, Berg can repair a lot of the damage and create a team that will bring the fans back and be serious contenders for the automatic places.I will however never ever forgive or forget the parasites who have come close to destroying the football Club that i have supportedand loved since 1969. Good luck Henning ,you're gonna need it with the clownish oafs supposedly running the Club ........ Henning Bergs Blue & White Army !!!!

Sure there was a 1-4 @ port vale

what a day out that was, there must have been around five thousand Rovers fans on that open end....most of them well inebriated and we were going to have a party come what may...and what a party. It carried on back in Blackburn as the Rovers fans arrived home too....never seen as many people stood on tables in pubs as that night....hope we don't have to wait as long for the next 4-1 away.....could it be at the Turd..?

Remember it well, it was the next to last game of the season 74/75 .Faz, Metcalfe & Hickman the scorer 's , what a dump that ground was at PortVale ! But happy days !

Modan, Stick to cricket. That's what Indians are good at.
It's quite clear to all on here you know nothing about football or Blackburn Rovers.
Now go and stand in the corner and wear a pointed hat.

Your point?

Just angry that people keep looking back through rose tinted glasses. Allardyce did not want to be a Ewood, for 12 to 18 months before he left he made it very clear that he was far too good for us and was touting himself all over the place, including Barcelona if I remember correctly. In the meantime he inflicted the worst ever style of football I have ever seen at Ewood in over 40 years of supporting the blues, not to mention certain games against one particular club that left a great deal of doubt in my mind. We have just won 4 -1 away from home, played some excellent football in the process and personally I can't wait for the next game, something I have rarely done for the last 4 years or so. I logged on looking for positives for a change, and the word "disgusted" actually disgusted me.

Nick,calm down pal, as someone else has pointed out already, you missed the point of the original post. If you read it again you will see It was a satirical dig at Smelly Diamond.

Oh bummer, sorry guys, lol.... lol..... blush

The contrasting fortunes of Big Sam and Mark Hughes are rather problematic to those Rovers fans who demonise the former and idolise the latter.

Unfortunately I haven't got a spare hour to pick through the bones of that pointless and uninformative tosh. You've wasted your own time writing it (badly) and wasted my time by stupidly allowing myself to read it. If you're suggesting we should be grateful for the way Venkys have run BRFC over the last 2 years, I'm afraid your way way off the mark. What has the Cathedral requiring renovation got to do with Rovers? Are you suggesting us 'whites' don't give a sh1t about the town because the Cathedral need money spending on it? If you hadn't noticed, religion doesn't rule most english Blackburn folks life - unlike muslims, football is our religion!

Which leads me nicely to my next point, which is frankly I don't give a sh1t what muslims do to build mosques or who donates the money. As far as I am concerned they are nothing but an eye sore that have no place in the town but that is another argument for another time and place.

As you're so educated on modern day football, you'd be aware Jack Walker died over 12 years ago. That means Rovers haven't been able to compete with Utd, Citeh, Chelsea, Arsenal and the likes for along time. We had however had been a regular fixture in the Premier League. Why? Because the club was run like a well oiled swiss watch by real football people. Not some chicken farmers who didn't even realise a football was round untill 2 years ago, who made a string of catastrophic decisions the most disastrous of which was to appoint Steve 'worst manager of all time' Kean as manager.

So what I'd recommend is next time you decide to waste your time posting drivel on here, think again sunny boy and take Harwoods advice... stick to cricket.

I rest my case.

Anyone for Chiken tikka tonight ?By the way we Indians bought Land Rover/Jaguar , a lost making company .Look at it now making profits and building a plant in China.Indians owned world's largest steel plants,Laxmi Mittal ,richest man in UK ,New Look,Pounstrechers,B

Guess the last people to 'blame' (if at all) for buying the club could be the Venkys. There are though of course no comparisons to be made about what Jack did for the club and what the Venkys will or can do.
He was a local lad who loved the team and loved the town and its people. He knew the people.
However much the V's (or anyone else who could have bought the club) put into the Rovers it will NEVER match what Jack did for us. I guess the point I am labouring to try and make is that whilst we will never ever forget Jack Walker - that whatever you think about them - we have to look forward and face the future under and with our current owners. IMO Jordan Rhodes and Henning Berg coming into our club gives us some small but important reason to look forwards for the first time since the Venkys came in. Who knows what lies ahead? Maybe the Mayans?

He was a local lad who loved the team and loved the town and its people. He knew the people.
However much the V's (or anyone else who could have bought the club) put into the Rovers it will NEVER match what Jack did for us. I guess the point I am labouring to try and make is that whilst we will never ever forget Jack Walker - that whatever you think about them - we have to look forward and face the future under and with our current owners. IMO Jordan Rhodes and Henning Berg coming into our club gives us some small but important reason to look forwards for the first time since the Venkys came in. Who knows what lies ahead? Maybe the Mayans?

Frenchy, we all know Venkys bought Blackburn Rovers, and what a **** they have made of it. I wish they hadn't done either but I can't change that.

I find Modans views on Blackburn and Jack Walker, frankly offensive, displaying the same ignorance and arrogance we have seen from Venkys and Steve Kean for the last 2 years.

I have regularly acknowledged my support for Henning Berg and like you look forward to the future but what I do not need is this irrelevant indian suprmacist propaganda from a nation that actually leads the world in poverty.

For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction - Modan and Smelly Diamond deserve each other.

Lets talk football tomorrow.

What becomes very clear is that they - Asians of Blackburn - are supporters and fans of BRFC just like every other fan/supporter of BRFC.
They have resided in Blackburn for up to and over 50 years and truly are fans with BRFC enshrined in their hearts and minds.

These British Asians of Blackburn are proud to be British and proud of BRFC.

However, the Venkeys are not like these British Asians in Blackburn.
Indians from India -Those rich billionaires who have recently come and bought BRFC. These people are only after their profits, they don't want to know Blackburn, they don't care about Blackburn.
They have made their billions from exploiting poor people and Blackburn's Asians would have been in abject poverty were they still in India as Venkeys would have oppressed down right to the bottom of the poverty scale..
So it is a fact that these British born Asians of Blackburn are fans /supporters of BRFC and will always remain so.

Lets not divide our fans, our supporters irrespective of colour, creed or religion but rather stick together and not allow the vultures within society to destroy us and BRFC.

Brilliant tonight, Posh are struggling, and Rovers took full advantage, which in the past has not always happened. One game at a time, but the future is looking rosy. Millwall to the lions!

****.

Your point?

Just angry that people keep looking back through rose tinted glasses. Allardyce did not want to be a Ewood, for 12 to 18 months before he left he made it very clear that he was far too good for us and was touting himself all over the place, including Barcelona if I remember correctly. In the meantime he inflicted the worst ever style of football I have ever seen at Ewood in over 40 years of supporting the blues, not to mention certain games against one particular club that left a great deal of doubt in my mind. We have just won 4 -1 away from home, played some excellent football in the process and personally I can't wait for the next game, something I have rarely done for the last 4 years or so. I logged on looking for positives for a change, and the word "disgusted" actually disgusted me.

Nick,calm down pal, as someone else has pointed out already, you missed the point of the original post. If you read it again you will see It was a satirical dig at Smelly Diamond.

Oh bummer, sorry guys, lol.... lol..... blush

The contrasting fortunes of Big Sam and Mark Hughes are rather problematic to those Rovers fans who demonise the former and idolise the latter.

Still worshipping those hooves Bazzer, Maybe Christ himself will have to overturn your Big Sam shrine. The order of the hoof ( percentage game) will stand up to the riggers of the PL, yet they will win **** all my son except Arsne Wenger doing a Basil Faulty on the touchline.

Given the choice between Lardarse and Hughesy ,? no contest, Hughesy won things with us, attempted to play football, Lardarse reached for the stars literally lol. he just didn't have anyone capable of kicking it that high. But he made certain his mate Fergus did ok.
