Kean: Ref got it wrong on crucial foul
10:51pm Tuesday 10th April 2012 in News By Matt Baxter
AS a late winner from Andy Carroll tipped Liverpool on to a 3-2 win at Ewood Park, Steve Kean insists a crucial decision in the run-up to the goal cost Rovers a point.
Just before Carroll's 90th minute winner, an altercation between Grant Hanley and Martin Skrtel seemingly went unnoticed by the referee; with Kean claiming Blackburn should have been awarded a free kick.
He said: "There was big decisions in the game. I think he got the sending off of the goalkeeper right and the yellow card for their sub goalkeeper - but not the foul on Hanley."
With Liverpool conceding two penalties for decisions against their goalkeepers, Blackburn were given two golden opportunities for goals.
However, the home side only managed one of the two and whilst they fought back with another goal to match the early two from Maxi Rodriguez, they must surely feel this decision cost them a point.
Kean added: "I can understand the ref's decisions and I can understand why he's given a yellow card for the goalkeeper. But I can't understand why he or the linesman didn't give the foul on Hanley when he was trying to get up."

Can anyone tell me how many points Rovers have dropped in the last 10mins of games this season? Must be well in to double figures now. There's only one thing to blame for that Steve - coaching.

I am not sure what humbling moment will make SK realize he is just not up to the task of managing a PL team but with 5 games to go he may soon know a she may not be a PL manager come May
Time is running out for excuses and former player testimonials of how good he is and how badly he has been treated by fans, he is just not the guy to get the job done @ BRFC so time for a change
I did not see the game but read live commentary and if you cannot beat 10 men and miss a penalty what can I say

What about Yakubu's pitifully poor attempt at a penalty? What about the lack of urgency? The long lumps from Robinson to the two shortest strikers in the Premiership? The inabilty to stretch and get behind a 10-man Liverpool reserve side? On and on and on, excuse after excuse and you seriously expect punters to part with cash next season to listen to the same sh8 over and over again?!!

Kean you c*nt! We got two penalties, they had their goalkeeper sent off, and we had a one man advantage for 3/4 of the game.
They played a virtual reserve team, and you're whining about the ref! It is not because of bad luck that we lost the game, or bad refereeing! It's because we are NOT GOOD ENOUGH! YOU are not good enough! YOUR signings are NOT GOOD ENOUGH! Your managerial record is NOT GOOD ENOUGH! Nothing about you is GOOD ENOUGH!
The club is ROTTEN TO THE CORE! And you are PART OF IT!
It's not down to bad luck or bad referees, that we are in the bottom three, and facing almost certain relegation!
It's because this once proud club has been taken over, and DECIMATED by WRONG UN'S!!

This was a lucky horseshoe dropping in our Lap and yet Kean is still not good enough.

Don't blame the young lads or old un Dunny - too much is being expected of them because Kean has got rid of quality players and replaced them with Championship players at best - might come in useful next season.

I've spoken to 2 guys tonight with 80 (yes 80) years of ST ownership between them, and no they won't be renewing either.
Kean, your excuses are finally worn out - we've got behind the team (always) and also laid off you. When you said "we need to go on another run" - well guess what, we just did - 4 defeats back to back. And to make it worse, 3 of those games were more than winnable.
Your tactics are inept, ineffective & naive. Once the truth comes out about what's really going on at OUR club, you will be prosecuted for fraud.
Disgrace, an absolute disgrace.

How do you take the positives from tonight Steve ?
Team Selection poor - overrun in midfield yet again.
Giving away 2 early goals.
Tactically Inept - playing against 10 men and only using one wing.
Substitutions too late and ineffective again.
A 3rd string goalkeeper hardly tested by our forwards.
So how much of this is the referee responsible for ?
Can you really blame this defeat by nitpicking the performance of the guy who gave us two pens and sent off a goalkeeper ?
Take a look in the mirror will you, who is coaching this team to play with so little shape and organisation ?
Wo is preparing a team to such a level of fitness that they grind to a halt after 88 minutes ?
I'm truly gutted to see the club I've supported for 40 years being destroyed by lack of leadership throughout the club.

a competitive team has to learn how to defend. questions - how many goals conceded this season? how many goals conceded from crosses? why is our best defender on the bench?
.
a competitive team has to put the oppo under pressure. question - how many saves did either of their keepers have to make tonight? how many shots on target?
.
why is our midfield all over the shop - n'zonzi plays it sideways more than steve metcalfe and dunn has no clue. did anybody see dun pick up a paper plate in the first half...the bloke next to me said he was just looking to see if there was a pie underneath.
.
loads of crossfield balls to olsen that went nowhere.
.
when oh when is kean going to accept responsibility - we didnt lose tonight cos of a ref error, we lost tonight cos we are hopeless at defending and the midfield couldnt run a bath and the forwards were as agressive as the andrex puppy....AND KEAN, THAT IS ALL YOUR FAULT!!

I give you part of this weeks analysis - "The many sycophantic and congratulatory messages aimed towards Kean and the team after last months consecutive clean sheets / victories have been ridiculed and exposed as the vacant-headed pen-jerk non-sense most of us knew they were.
.
Easy with hindsight Jim's critics may say - not so as this was his column 2 weeks ago - whilst Kean must get credit for two wins there is an uncomfortable feeling we caught Wolves and Sunderland at the right time. Has he become a tactical genius over night? Are his dodgy signings suddenly looking good?
.
And last week he said - You could understand one team at the Reebok being affected by the weeks events. Players and manager in London for 4 days. No training and no planning and the emotional issues which can drain you. Unfortunately that team was not Rovers whom seemed most affected. All Kean had to do was tunnel vision and keep them focused on the match and yet he has the audacity to use it as an excuse.
.
I hope from memory the above was fairly accurate brief review of your columns Jim!
.
The real fear is that the Kean and Venky madness has left us with little more than 12 or 13 worthy players of premiership quality as Andy Cryer rightly covered this week and some of them are home grown youngsters being asked to do too much too early - Shame on Kean - Shame on Venkys.
.
PLEASE HOLD BACK ON YOUR RENEWING YOUR SEASON TICKET UNTIL WE GET SOME ACTION!

This was his 30th defeat as managing Rovers in 60 games. When compared to former Rovers manager Sam Allardyce's statistics whilst manager of the club, it would reveal at this point that Steve Kean has only lost 4 games less as manager during his reign, with 30 games to spare.In fact statistically, Steve Kean is Blackburn Rovers worst Premier League manager in history. Which tell's us that there is something very very wrong going on at Ewood Park. We need to up the auntie to find out what that problem is..???? "We need a spy on the inside to sniff out that problem.

What if we do stay up? Next season we will have the same manager, an even weaker team and likely to be a higher points total to stay up. I'd rather get relegation over and done with, if that's what t takes to get a new manager appointed, and build again.

This more then winnable game was probably a game we needed something from in order to stay up – now I doubt we will! Even with maximum points in our remaining home games (which I doubt we’ll get) we’ll probably still need at least another point to stay up, and with the remaining away games and current form I just can’t see us getting any!
This is the worst I’ve ever felt supporting Rovers! Not so much for the results, we’ve been there before, but because of the total mismanagement of the club!
The sad thing is that the Venkys/Kean/Anderson
/Hunt PR-machine will now be able to use the relegation as an excuse for the falling season ticket sales, the media & pundits will once again buy into it and the Rovers fans will once again be blamed………. It makes me sick!!!

1) Alex Ferguson - two league titles at ewood under kean's reign and enough red wine to make baconface's cheeks glow. Also see phil jones for a knock down £16m
2) David Moyes - 3 out of 3 points last season and 4 points this season.
3) Wee Jimmy Krankie - Horwich double for rubbish team over rovers this season. Also see agent - a certain North London Dane
4) 'Arry - 3 points so far this season and no doubt a revival in spuds prem form in a couple of weeks. 3 out of 3 last season. Also see Ryan Nelsen.

What ever happened to the Fit and Proper persons test, Surely when they met Mrs Desia and her Boys they realised that they were dealing with Bumpkin Farmers who thougt Old Trafford was a Test Match venue and Paul Robinson was an England Wicket Keeper
They had done absolutely Nothing for Rovers in the two season that they have lorded it over us, and already have the money back that they borrowed to buy the club, in outgoing transfer fees. (Jones, Kalanic, Samba) to be followed this summer by Hoillet, Olsson, Formica, Rochina Robinson, Givet, Hanley, Yakubu.
If that is not asset stripping of the worst kind, then I am a Chinaman.
I hope MY Club does well next year, but for the first time in many many years, they will have to manage without my support on matchday.
After the end of this season I will not set foot in Ewood again until the Circus Leaves Town. I suspect I am not alone in that sentiment.

We are tactically inept
We are unfit
We are disorganised
We are incapable of changing the way we play
We have no change of pace in the team
We can't defend
We don't use subs effectively

We are constantly lied to

Firstly like to apologies for my part in last night’s slanging match on the other thread…..My excuse was.. really cheesed off after another poor performance, only to be told I’m not a ‘proper’ fan, really grates you after travelling 3+ hours home on wet Tuesday night.
Right, Just to clear a few things……
1. I’m not an apologist for Kean/ Venkeys/Andersen…q
uite the opposite I’m a Rovers fan, no other side to me.
2. Staying away/ boycotting at this stage of the season will not rid anyone from our club the only possible effect it will have is a negative one on the team.
3. The protest didn’t have my support but acknowledge they did what they thought best for the club, ‘proper’ fans
4. 5 games to go I fear we are down; we look a poor team now, that is solely down to the mismanagement.
5. I have not re-newed or going to renew our season tickets for next season; can only take so much disappointment. Hopefully a new owner/manager is in place, then I will pick my games which to attend …Burnley home might be a good one!
6. Can’t see us picking up another point this season, without the fans backing at this crucial part of the season we are most definitely going down, whilst there is a slight chance I urge you to rethink your boycott, next season by all means but while we have a chance we should all grasp it(might never see the Rovers in the top flight again) Then by any means try to oust the regime, either by not renewing, protest or whatever method within the law you feel fit, but now is not the right time, after the season finishes.
7. SUPPORT YOUR TEAM

Oh the streets of Glasgi are so dangerous and our wee poppit is so brave.

This is Kean's team, the one on which he wanted to be judged. The fans cannot lift such a poor set of ill-predpared and untalented players - if this side had a full house chganted non-stop they couldn't have beaten Liverpool reserves
Kean is there as long as Venkys own Rovers.
I am not renewing my season ticket now and putting cash into Venkys pocket.
When they clear off, I'll renew.

Firstly like to apologies for my part in last night’s slanging match on the other thread…..My excuse was.. really cheesed off after another poor performance, only to be told I’m not a ‘proper’ fan, really grates you after travelling 3+ hours home on wet Tuesday night.
Right, Just to clear a few things……
1. I’m not an apologist for Kean/ Venkeys/Andersen…q
uite the opposite I’m a Rovers fan, no other side to me.
2. Staying away/ boycotting at this stage of the season will not rid anyone from our club the only possible effect it will have is a negative one on the team.
3. The protest didn’t have my support but acknowledge they did what they thought best for the club, ‘proper’ fans
4. 5 games to go I fear we are down; we look a poor team now, that is solely down to the mismanagement.
5. I have not re-newed or going to renew our season tickets for next season; can only take so much disappointment. Hopefully a new owner/manager is in place, then I will pick my games which to attend …Burnley home might be a good one!
6. Can’t see us picking up another point this season, without the fans backing at this crucial part of the season we are most definitely going down, whilst there is a slight chance I urge you to rethink your boycott, next season by all means but while we have a chance we should all grasp it(might never see the Rovers in the top flight again) Then by any means try to oust the regime, either by not renewing, protest or whatever method within the law you feel fit, but now is not the right time, after the season finishes.
7. SUPPORT YOUR TEAM

They seem blissfully unaware of the huge amount of money the club will lose next year when we are relegated. The season ticket early bird offer was conceived after the two recent wins to con people into buying now, don't fall for it. A crowd of under 1000 for the first game in the championship will remove Venky's.. If we simply keep putting up with this the club will continue to spiral down.
Turning your back on the club you have supported for many years is not easy but in this case continuing to support them financially will ruin the club. I plan to return when Venky's leave or they show some ambition by sacking Kean and investing in the team.
I didn't desert them last time they were relegated as the ambition and belief were there but this is an entirely different situation.

But having said that I will add -
That any single one of us on here could have 'managed' the team in a better way than Kean did last night.
If there are any people left (if ever there were any at all) that had any sympathy for Kean - then surely it is gone after the inept managerial display and his total dereliction of duty during the game.
Liverpool were their for the taking. Three points were there for the taking. All Kean had to do was organize the Rovers to play the game to take advantage of the extra man and put Liverpool under pressure and score a couple of goals.
But the manager did absolutely nothing tactically or vocally to achieve this...we just kept on playing the same old way we always do - simply relying on picking up the pieces from long balls and free kicks.
No skill no tactics no hope....
The footballing gods gave us every opportunity to take a big step towards securing our prem status last night and we ignored every offering and wasted the opportunity totally.
Not sure we will get another chance of a win between now and the Wigan game and even that would be beyond us currently.
On the floor this morning with disappointment.
Not quite accepted we are down and out finally now - as there are still points to play for - but have to accept we are almost out of the prem.

totally one-dimensional and that isn't Steve Kean's fault, neither is it his fault for the miserable effort from the Yak's first penalty.
If Blackburn had tried to get the ball down and pass it, get behind Liverpool's defence but that isn't their way and hasn't been for nearly forever, still lump it up, just what Liverpool wanted.

When the money runs out as it surely will and the club is bankrupt (Take Rangers as an example) there wont be a club and its to late to boycott or protest then.
Fans need to do something now, what ever they can do to stop this lot bankrupting the club.

i thought we deserved more last night olssen's looked dangerous,fans sing for rochina kean brings him on,(looked lightweight in a physical game) but defenders and dunn were poor which cost us.For the record givet is kept out i believe because hanley and dann are the only one's who kept a clean sheet and we need consistency at the back,but saying that hanley looked out of his dept last night against carrol,maybe a swap next game

Langho dan - your right who in their right mind would want to work with the Venkys - thats why we have the 'plank' yes man Kean!!!
I have e mailed Andy Cryer to ask if he reads the comments posted on this column and if so why does he not put across our views in the strongest possible way. My feelings are the he has no 'back bone' he says that he puts across a fair view both from the fans and managers point of view but I disagree when Kean makes stupid comments/excuses the flaws are there for all to see yet never does Andy Cryer ask the pertinent questions - last night performance was abysmal against an under strength Liverpool side reduced to 10 men and Dunn - well past it but with an extended contract and more cash in his back pocket - a disgrace!!
Kean says there are more twists and turns to come - what a plank!!!
OUT WITH THE VENKYS AND OUT WITH KEAN

Hanley & Dann are doing the same, and its going to be the same result. If they play much farther apart they will need their mobile phones to keep in touch. And another thing. Would Kean please tell them not to stand near the centre circle at the same time - it leaves a very big gab between them and the goals. Just like lots of other occasions this season the game was lost by an inept back four. Why is Givet - our best defender - sitting on the bench watching? Has he been asking to be paid?

Inept I say in terms of
a. Team selection Jason Lowe our only defending midfielder left on the bench. Subs make no impact
b. Inept signings only Yakubu can be said to be a good signing - most have failed to make more than a handful of appearances - a joke
c. Inept running of the club _ Hughes focuses on the games where he sees points - Kean just likes to rub shoulders with the elite. Wigan have passion in the shirt sadly too many mercenaries at Ewood.
d. Inept planning - would Rovers with a fit Ryan Nelsen have sucumbed last night - we dont have a captain on the pitch and that is down to the Manager
Fans have a right to be angry with Kean and Venkys they have destroyed a club in 18 months and failed to be honest in their dealings - an Inept disgrace but will Kean resign no nay never(as the song goes)
I admire supporters who will be buy next years season tickets early but I fear more will vote with their feet and stay away.
As for the players I think 2 or 3 may be Premier League squad players - a few Championship level but with Venkys to run the show what does it really matter

You may be right my friend.
However, say what you like about Burnley but in the words of Shameless' Frank Gallagher- "we know how to party!!!!!"

Looks like it's all over, I think this my last season supporting Rovers. It's not the Rovers I have supported, that's been destroyed. So Steve don't forget to turn the lights out when you leave.

I think that we all have to resign ourselves to the fact that Rovers are relegated. On the bright side I think the Venkys could well consider selling and cutting their losses. Their is nothing left for them here. The gates in the championship under their ownership will be very poor and the players are not worth much and the likely hood of promotion minimal. A couple of players are premier league quality; Robinson and the leading goal scorer other than that the rest are championship players at best. The club will not be worth a lot after their disastrous tenure. So I wish the Venkys goodbye.
+38m on transfer sales (replaced with about 15m worth).
+cut operating costs (directors/players).
+receive parachute payments for relegation
+sell all remaining valuable players (N'Zonzi, Olsson, Robinson, Yak, Dann, etc)
+any money they get for the resale of the club.
There's only one party at a loss here, and it certainly isn't Vileky's, Steve Kean or those crying on the telly.
