FULL TIME: Derby County 0 Blackburn Rovers 3
4:56pm Saturday 26th January 2013 in News
By Andy Cryer, Blackburn Rovers reporter
BLACKBURN Rovers coasted into the fifth round of the FA Cup as Michael Appleton celebrated his first win as manager.
A first half strike from Colin Kazim-Richards gave Rovers the lead, before a second half wonder strike from Scott Dann and a poachers finish from Jordan Rhodes killed off a poor Derby County.
In a quiet first half, neither side looked particularly likely to break the deadlock.
Morten Gamst Pedersen went close with an inswinging free kick that was tipped over the bar by Legzdins, while Jordan Rhodes had a close range flick blocked.
At the other end, Derby looked impotent as an attacking force, with former Ram Jake Kean untested inbetween the posts.
The breakthrough came on 43. Kazim-Richards robbed a hestitant Richard Keogh, chasing on to a hopeful punt from Jason Lowe, and finished smartly underneath goalkeeper Legzdins.
The second half continued in a similar fashion with the hosts struggling to create much of note in an attacking sense.
Rovers goalkeeper almost gifted Derby a leveller with a sloppy clearance but he was at least alert enough to react and block Jamie Ward's shot.
Markus Olsson thought he had doubled the lead on 63, but Jordan Rhodes was ruled out for his part in the approach work.
Rovers didn't have long to wait and were 2-0 ahead on 66. Danny Murphy's clever chipped pass found Scott Dann on the edge of the penalty area and his dipping volley flew into the top corner.
The travelling faithful were in dream land five minutes later as Jordan Rhodes put Rovers even further ahead.
The Scot calmly lifted the ball over the Derby stopper after being played through by Markus Olsson.

Defence certainly seems to have tightened up in recent games and we are looking a little more confident all round. Will be interesting to see who MA is looking to bring in over the next few days.
MA looks to be a fairly sturdy choice so support him Venkys. Leave the footballing decisions to MA, not Shebby & co.

I don't want to be pessimistic so I will ignore any thoughts in that direction. Well done today even though the Derby radio commentators said we were not playing well and Derby were abysmal. A win is a win. Made all the sweeter by the Dingles result. At this rate MA will become a hero in only a short time.

bizarre really....my brother hates all the pomp and ceremony and would rather it didn't happen.
back to rovers
- v charlton, very poor - but i remember rovers getting absolutely trashed and thrashed by boro at ewood in sparky's first game (and the next down at stamford bridge - first two games P2 W0 D0 L2 F0 A8 Pts 0)
- v brighton, much better tactics formation moving in the right direction (pity about the new wayne rooney's stupid error)
- v derby, excellent result, building on the brighton game.
next two games should allow the manager and the team to build on the last two games and then it starts to get a bit tricky and we will see what the new guy is made of - for first time in a while we can think its half full rather than half empty.
onwards and upwards - hopefully!!!

That is very heartening, I am imagining that the re-introducion of King gave us some added potency to our attack.
I am also imagining that we played, as a unit, higher up the pitch again (as Tues nt). Something that gives the defence some breathing space to operate.
We just now need to build on this with our league games and hopefully some worthy additions being made this week.

Appelton as just done a solid interview on Radio Lancs non of the glitter that the odious one would spout ! Pragmatic. I like that kind of language, I do.
Building confidence into the tougher games ahead, as you say, be revealing ?

i just think that other contributors on here should know that you are a bin-dipper as opposed to a dingle.
i can't stop anybody coming on here but find it strange that any burnley fan wants to spend all their time slagging off rovers on here; but hey! - they are our rivals. however personally thier opinion is worth jack. so why a plastic scouser wants to give us the benefit of their received wisdom is, frankly, beyond me. so, i am just advising other rovers fans to ignore your meaningless contributions.
anyhow, i have wasted enough time on you and i am sure you have a scouse wedding to go and have a fight at.

Venkys are placing Indian Flag on top of Ewood Park
A staue of Mahatma Gandhi will be placed next to Jack Walker
A life time ban on the morons who threw snow balls at Venkys, unless they bow to the Venky Queen an apologise
Morons are no longer welcome at Ewood Park and they won't be missed.
BRAG have just announced their total collection to this date is about £100,000 enough to buy every moron who supported BRAG at Ewood Park pies and Beer.
Burnley fans are begging Venkys to leave BRFC and walkaway now and leave the club with BRAG so Burnley fans can celebrate Freedom again from arrogant BRFC supporters.
Venkys told Burnley fans they can't leave BRFC FC with BRAG because of fear of mass suicidal amongts BRFC Fans .
The UN wants Venky to stay and keep BRAG away because of mass suicidal amongts BRFC supporters if BRAGG take over.
The power of Venkys financial power will keep BRAG away and keep the ordainary Rovers fans happy says the UN.

We've only been out of the top flight for half a season so drawing a Premier League team wouldn't be classed as a glamour tie just yet. I'd rather we got Luton or MK Dons (revenge) as I believe a good cup run will do our league form some good too.
I don't make a point of looking for Burnley's results, I'm a Rovers fan. However, had somebody not told me earlier I would have come to the conclusion that they'd lost today as their armchair fans are conspicuous by their absence on this forum.
I dare say one of them will be giving us the 'five points clear' speech soon, like they've won something.

stick to football says...
We are at last seeing some organisation and pattern to how we want to play and defence has certainly tightened up. I think Lowe is a better fullback than central midfield but good to have flexibility to change a system if its not happening. Good result breeds confidence and if we can add consistency to our game then the future looks promising.
Todays result is great for the away supporters they deserve it and let us hope the atmosphere they created at Derby can be brought back to Ewood so everyone can have a smile on their face and forget about those in the Boardroom for once. If we have a Manager who is fully supported then thats ok by me I dont want to buy a football club just watch my team

why do you keep going on and on about india? if other posters kept on going on about india - then they would be accused of racism. the issue that rovers supporters have with the venkys is that they are clueless clowns and nowt to do with ethnicity.....same at birmingham city, same with liverpool's previous owners.....nobody cares about where owner come from as long as under their stewardship they look after the club in the right manner.
fyi (work it out) brag is just a protest group and not the people who have the long-term objective of fan part-ownership or fan ownership

It's not been working for 2 years. Let's change the things we can control and get the atmosphere at Ewood back, support was excellent today. And we won.

Last night you posted the words "I will not follow a club full of morons" yet here you are again, as welcome as a dingle and still raving on about Rovers.
It rather looks like its not just the Venkys who are incapable of doing what the say.
BTW: a little education for you, the United Nations have no interest in Blackburn, they do however have an agency called the World Health Organisation who know a lot more about India than you do.
Now that you are no longer a Rovers supporter perhaps you could devote you time to supporting the good work the WHO are doing in India.

You don't need a comma after "find" though whilst "that" is an annoying and almost always superfluous word. It is however accepted as being grammatically correct since you are expressing a comment or fact.
A bit like "I must say that this thread is f@cking childish". You could do without it; that, that is (also used here in one of its other forms; "that bloke" "that tree" etc. It's like "this" as in "this is all a load of b0ll0ck$")

Well sadly name calling didnt keep you in the Prem, pretending Man U were you rivals didnt keep you in the Prem, Steve Kean didnt keep you in the Prem either.
The fact is that once Jack Walkers money ran out nothing would.
Especially with the "nobodys good enough to be our manager" attitude your hate and venom filled fans showed to every decent manager that were never given a chance.
Oh how you'd love Big Sam and Roy Hodson back!!!!
Instead you'll have to make do with Blackpool cast offs!

Gandhi did visit Blackburn and Darwen
No morons has yet been arrested charged for throwing snow balls
Burnley fans will be happy if Venkys does walk away and leave BRFC with BRAG .
Blackburn Rovers FC was in debt of £25 million when Walkers sold the club to Venkys
Northern foods which owns Fox's Buiscuits and Holland's pies was sold to Ranjit Boparan in March 24th 2011 in a £342 million deal .
India does not need UN as India's eonomy is the fastest growing after China.
India does not need foreign economic aid of $4 Billion which India says this is peanuts when India spends £70 Billion of welfare every year to lift millions out of poverty every year.The British Government says India which is a very rich country spends Billions on Defence,Space Progarm, and investing Billions in UK,USA and Europe ,India should help it's poor.
As long BRFC is owned by Indian Family we Indians will support BRFC.The people who do like the Venkys ,please join the BRAG and morons who threw snow balls at Venkys and stay away from Ewood Park.
The venkys can do what it like at Ewood Park it's their club now.If you dont like it then stay away you will not be missed.
If Venkys decide to put Indian Flag and a statue of Gandhi next to Jack Walker and sell Cobra Beer instead of Thwaites it's their business.
BRAG has just raised £100,000 that will pay for your pies,chips and beers in your next protest at Ewood Park.
Like the Burnley fans says how lucky Blackburn Rovers are when Jack Walker's millions put Rovers in Premier League and won the title with Jack's millions and now Venkys millions keeping BRFC in football league.Any business with debts of £25 million would have gone bust.

Throw snowballs at BRFC owners the Venky family and stay away from Ewood Park.

In Blackburn Bestway Cash And Carry,Accrol Papers,Poundstrecher
s,Euro Garages,Star Tissues,New Look and many more owned by Asians.
You are a disgrace and should be banned from posting of your propaganda about the Venkys and ban from entering Ewood Park.
BRFC is India owned it's the fact live wih it.
Cobra Beers will be sold at Ewood Park
Indian Flag will be flown at Ewood Park
Gandhi Statue will be placed next to Jack Walker
We Asians do not throw snow balls at the Queen like you morons threw snow balls at the owners of Blackburn Rovers fc.
The people who threw snow balls at Venkys should stay away from Ewood Park.
Go get drunk you fool and chase a train.
Go and join BRAG who hasn't got two bobs to buy BRFC.They' ll buy you pie and beer in the next protest at Ewood Park.
The 14,000 crowds like me are right behind Venkys,the manager ,the players and the Boardroom while you lot are disgrace to BRFC along with BRAG.

Lets get a few facts sorted here modan you ignorant racist pig

2/ Once again you are comparing our Monarch HRH Queen Elizabeth II with some woman who resembles a man in drag, who owns a chicken farm and is despised at Rovers because of what (s)he has been party to over the last two or so years
3/Nobody (except you and that huge chip on your shoulder) is behind Venkys - and not because they're Indian you truth manipulating bumder but because they are just complete sh1t at running a football club
4/ I don't drink so am not drunk
5/ That Gandi statue you dream about would last about 10 minutes before it's sold for scrap metal

Venkys are the owner of BRFC it's the facts
The Walkers sold the club to Venkys of India if you don't like that then if i were you i wood stay stay away from Ewood Park.
Who is a racist pig now ? you are, not me
I am not against Venkys and thank them for buying a club that was loosing millions and the debts Walkers left of £25 million.
I aways like my club BRFC and liked Jack Walker and thanked him for all his support he has given to this club over the last twenty yeas or so.I will always cherish the memories about Jack Walker years at the club with all those great players like Shearer,Sutton and Manager Kenny Dalglish
You are naive prat if the Venkys walk away now and leave the club with BRAG then administration will follow just like Leeds,Pourtsmouth and Rangers.
The boardroom,the manager and the players are happy with Venkys s what is your problem ?
The boardroom and the new manager says the owners are ambitious and want BRFC in Premier League as soon as possible.
Please don't post your offensive comments about Venkys as i did not post anything offensive about the Venkys,the Queen ,BRFC boardroom ,manager and th players.

Since the last nine years or so the club was loosing millions and BRFC had sell their best players to balance the books.
The Walkers left £25 million debts so you see it's not Venkys who are to blame for losses of millions of pounds.
Just look back in 1970s and the 1980s a small club in second and third division no money,a stadia only fit for cows and a crowds of 14,000 even Burnley was in better shape than BRFC back then.
We have no other choice right now and Venkys did not promised they would spend big money like the sheikh at Man City or Abromwich at Chelsea.
Venkys told Brfc it would be beetwen £10 to £15 million would be spent on transfers for new players every year.
The current Boardroom,the manager and the players are happy with Venkys.
QPR FC owner Laxmi Mittal is worth £17.5 Billion he is the richest owner of a football club in the world and the richest man in UK .QPR FC is lying bottom of Premier League so the richest man in UK have no magic wand to save QPR FC from relegation this season.He could throw his billions at QPR FC right now to save the club from relegation.Sometimes no matter how much money the owner spends at his/her beloved football clubs if the destiny is down to misfortune of things are not going in right directions.
