The secret of a side going up is to win ugly. Thats what we are doing. The longer it continues the more confidence it will breed. Great win. This lot drew with blackpool last week and we turned them over coming from behind again The other team that will be hard work will be cardiff.
Hopefully the defence will become more confident. Roll on friday and ask yourself this, would you sooner be Bolton right now?
Up Up and away, we spartans will continue to do our bit for the cause. Boycotters? who cares so long as we keep winning.

Another ground out result in a game in which we had the class to batter the opposition, but the back 5 seemed intent on wanting Barnsley to score with their wayward passing.

Fabio Nunes looks like a live wire. Also, another touch of class from Nuno Gomes. Scott Dann needs to be dropped though after dropping another clanger like the one he did against Leicester. I fear that Dann is another Christian Dailly ie overpriced, overrated and prone to defensive mistakes. Hanley and Givet are much more solid defenders in my opinion.

Just what could they do with a proper manager at the helm? Went to the game using a ticket lent by a friend on holiday, I'm 1 of the stay away brigade. Hated the atmosphere, the place should be buzzing. Please get rid of him and let us all get back to really supporting our team and raising the roof.

Hi All Rovers fans

Fantastic win lets keep it up .
I've followed the rovers since my first visit in 1971, and will die in a rovers shirt .
Fans please support YOUR team whoever the owners/ manager is.
Do you think it was fun in the 3rd div away at a Rainey port vale ect . No but I follow the rovers .
I am sure fans of Plymouth and Portsmouth and other clubs would love to be in our possition .
Stop moaning and support the rovers and yes I do fly over and watch a game when I can .
Remember it's your rovers and when others have gone its still your rovers

61% possession for Barnsley! Barnsley for gawd sake!!! (No disrespect intended but come on!) Even Kean said we were awful.
Every match report I have read, every game I've listened to on Radio Rovers (We don't get a lot of coverage on the Championship in Australia) has said we have been average to poor.
Of course I am pleased we got a win and we are top of the league, only after 6 games though and we've not played anyone really decent (Leeds and Leicester maybe) but that joy is tempered with the fact that Kean is still our manager.
Imagine how well we would play with the players we have if we had a decent manager!!!!

Phew, thank goodness for class and permanence because that's what saw us through tonight on the back of a poor showing.

That said Barnsley can feel aggrieved and envious of the £8 million pound man along with the canny old fox Gomes.....

Oh how I laughed when that 2nd went in. I haven't had such a time on footy for yonks.

You just know that the front two are going to plunder goals, and that is worth watching !

The atmosphere was utter tripe unfortunately but not unexpected.

Some day soon that chuffing 'Beautiful Swan' will emerge until then get down and see all the fun of the fair !

T'up the Rovers

The truth is as long as we keep on winning and are in the top 2 promotion places, its job being done. I want Kean out as much as the next man, but football is a results business and he is finally getting the results.

To all Blackburn fans it is time to stop with the hate kean stuff, is he a smarmy Scottish git yes, will I ever eat chicken curry the same no, but it is time to watch some rovers v burnley highlights when we kicked there a$$ We have to get behind that rose on our chest, cause it does not matter how much we don't like Kean or the Venkys we hate those b@$tards in claret&blue more than anything. I live 5000 miles away and do everything I can to listen to the games. Come on the Blackburn rovers blue and white army it's time to put the team and club first let burnley here our roar cause we are coming to get you. Christopher from Dallas Tx.

Lucky WIN , We are on top of the League - YES We are on TOP.

Gomes is doing his magic goals for Blackburn, nice to see his passion.

I feel , some one should talk to S.Dann on "NO BACK PASS When u have a ball in your leg", We are in a difficult stage to win each match, somehow we are managing a thin line till now.
Jordan Rhodes is a real hero for our new generation and his passion to get a goal on each match is happening. God Bless. All the best for next match.

No Moral fortitude whatsoever.

Unbelievable

All it took for some of you was some money spent on totally mercenary players and their agents and us winning a few early games.

The world and workplaces are full of your sorts

We could win the league, get promoted, do well back in the premier league and I would still not grace the corrupt regime with my presence.

Yes as a set of supporters we are deeply and totally divided and As long as their are supporters with moral fortitude and integrity so it will remain.



Still would not return until Kean has gone.

Barnsley (for gawds sake!) got a point at Blackpool on saturday RDS.

That puts our RESULT in context - they got one point and we got three and WE are top of the table. You dont get points for possession (not in this league)...

Stop raving about how bleeding good the oranges are....we are better!

Hi Steve here, although I love them and I really appreciate them not sending me to the Job Centre, surely the shirt and ground sponsorship deals lie with the Venkys. I may be wrong but i dont think my good friend Sir Alex goes down to his Local Nike store to sign the deal. The gate issue, well, when Blackburn were champions of England, they filled the ground, now in the Championship we are down to 10-14000, now im not saying there is a lot of Glory fans knocking about but I know that aliens dont abduct football fans on there way down to Ewood. The pride and return to the ground lies on your shoulders, you support a club, not one man. Blackburn Rovers are over 100 years old, you cant claim to be a true fan and pick and choose when to support them depending on who is at the helm. So catch the local horse and cart on its way out of Darwen and come on down to Ewood. Ill be the one pulling the strings from the side, bald, good looking, come and say hello. Steve.

A Darener wrote:
Dear Steve, although the Venky's are responsible for finding sponsors as you state. No sponsor in his right mind would want to be associated with a manager who has a reputation for breaking the law, slandering people and generally being totally unsuitable to run a Sunday's school team never mind a former PL champions winning club.

The grammar and spelling in this comment is astonishingly bad. I know the Telegraph has stated anything that is false, abusive or malicious will not be posted. But I implore them to add bad grammar and spelling and incredible lack of any sense to be added to this list. I will ask Nuno to keep scoring his magic goals and when I work out what on earth you want me to say to Scott Dann, I will be sure to fully ignore your advice.
Leave the managing to me guys, Im Steve and im here to stay, we willl go up, ill bet my black rain mack on it.

Also alot of you are asking the question 'imagine what we could do with a good manager?'. We could possibly be top of the league...oh wait. We could possibly have a 100% home record...oh wait. We could have bought the best striker in the league..oh wait.

I don't fully hold with the "lucky" theory. The difference between us and the sides we've played so far is , we have an abundance of talent up front and can finish off chances. Rhodes goal last night was his ability and confidence to try it and it paid off, Gomes's was pure experience to be in the right place to finish it. He's a pleasure to watch, true footballing brain&makes it look so easy. What worries me is the defence, Orr is no better than a Sunday morning clogger, Hanley still looks raw&prone to a positional error or two but he gets stuck in and looks commuted. Dann is the biggest worry, because like the t1t that signed him, he thinks he's better than he is. Strutting around, p0ncing about adjusting his shorts and socks for the cameras. Well Scott the only time anyone watches you , is when you sell the keeper and your teammates short with your poor passing and dodgy backpasses. He's left the team vunerable more times this season, than Samba&Nelson together did during their Ewood careers and that in itself explains why you should never sign a defender from a relegated side. Also, I wonder if Dann will grip a rogue dingle if one strays onto the pitch at tuff morgue in December & trys to attack one of our stars? That alone promoted Ryan to hero status amongst the Ewood faithful. I hope he washed his hands after touching that scruffy inbred cousin marrying success-starved piece of claret 5hite!

I am clearly not going to get sacked, especially as the team keep winning, are currently top of the league, have a 100% record at home and are scoring goals for fun. Finally my good friends the Venkys have decided to back me with money and I can finally start to show the world my managing genius. A lot of comments seem to refer to the fact we are bad defensively and are getting 'lucky' by outscoring the other team, but although some of you doubt my credentials, i am pretty certain that this is the key premise of football, so we will continue our tactics of trying to score more than the opposition.
Would be nice to see some of you down at Ewood on Friday because you all claim to support the club, but the closest you are coming to ewood is coming on these comment boards to abuse me. You dont have to like me, the venkys, or even our hideous home shirt, but its the club you all support, not individuals. Anyway must go, Mrs Desai has just whipped up a banging Massala.

S.Dann should play better in the back, Fashion show after 90mts is ok, I am happy about him, he got a goal in this season. If he improves his defence, he is OK in this level. after 50 matchs , we cannot through away Dann.

So win every game with a rugby score 10-9, although others might argue that an alternative but equally valid premise is teaching the defence to keep clean sheets, then imagine the wonderment when one single goal is enough to bag the three points. Oh I forgot, Steve, you were sick when they did that bit on Blue Peter.

You dont have to like me, the venkys, or even our hideous home shirt, but its the club you all support, not individuals. Anyway must go, Mrs Desai has just whipped up a banging Massala.

So win every game with a rugby score 10-9, although others might argue that an alternative but equally valid premise is teaching the defence to keep clean sheets, then imagine the wonderment when one single goal is enough to bag the three points. Oh I forgot, Steve, you were sick when they did that bit on Blue Peter.

Hi Rovers 1495..........He's a wind up merchant.

Rhodes goal last night was his ability and confidence to try it and it paid off, Gomes's was pure experience to be in the right place to finish it. He's a pleasure to watch, true footballing brain&makes it look so easy. What worries me is the defence, Orr is no better than a Sunday morning clogger, Hanley still looks raw&prone to a positional error or two but he gets stuck in and looks commuted. Dann is the biggest worry, because like the t1t that signed him, he thinks he's better than he is. Strutting around, p0ncing about adjusting his shorts and socks for the cameras. Well Scott the only time anyone watches you , is when you sell the keeper and your teammates short with your poor passing and dodgy backpasses. He's left the team vunerable more times this season, than Samba&Nelson together did during their Ewood careers and that in itself explains why you should never sign a defender from a relegated side. Also, I wonder if Dann will grip a rogue dingle if one strays onto the pitch at tuff morgue in December & trys to attack one of our stars? That alone promoted Ryan to hero status amongst the Ewood faithful. I hope he washed his hands after touching that scruffy inbred cousin marrying success-starved piece of claret 5hite!

S.Dann should play better in the back, Fashion show after 90mts is ok, I am happy about him, he got a goal in this season. If he improves his defence, he is OK in this level. after 50 matchs , we cannot through away Dann.

If this was written in Nadsat or even in a code of algerbraic equations it would make more sense.

I thought you would have known, that Matthew CA is one of Kean's biggest fans.

To be honest, i wish he more a fan of his English lessons.

Do I have to cure cancer to get some credit. Quote 'Nunes assists Nuno Gomes'. Lets put all prejudice a side and have a think. These two players were both subs. I am the manager, ie. I make the subs. Go on, just a little bit of credit. A tiny little bit?
I dont need players to make me look good, just a sharp suit, shoe polish and a winning smile.

We are top of the league and unbeaten, we have signed some good players and we have had our best start since 1994. But still you want Kean sacked. If he went through the whole of the season unbeaten would you still want him sacked?

Yes he never did a good job last season infact he should have been sacked at christmas but he wasnt. He stuck at his job ignored the abuse and built a new team to get us back. At the moment he is doing the best anyone could do - so give the man a break. If you are a true rovers fan you will get behind the team whoever the manager is. And remember half of the players who got us relegated last season are still there but you are not telling them to leave - GET BEHIND ROVERS OR SHUT UP.

If we won every game 10-9 you would see (46 x 19) 874 goals this season. I may be wrong, but especially from a neutral level, this would be pretty amazing. But even as a Rover you can admit that seeing your team score 460 goals in a single season would be pretty special. They are proffesional footballers, so if i have the need to 'teach' anyone how to defend then we seriously have issues that go beyond me and my wonderful backroom staff.
Never been one for Blue Peter, I was to busy refining my man management, coaching techniques, media persona, good looks and Portugese (yes i speak portugese) than to concern myself with a little blue ship.
Steve.

Sick of the petty squabbles between "stay aways" and then who want to see the team play live. It's their choice what they decide. Yes Kean is a despicable individual, but most of the managers i've had at work have been @rseholes, i've still had to go to work though!
How short a memory do these "real supporters" have, p1ssing against the wall in the Blackburn End bogs, with 5000 gates, struggling to pay the elec bill & poor quality football.
The lot of you want to get a grip and stop living in the past, some of them were still moaning when we won the Prem in 95.
I'm still going and will die a blue, but I have noticed in our space crowds, a lot of familiar faces from years back, before the money before the glory years. Proper fans sticking by a club through thick and thin. I suspect more than half of these stay aways probably supported Liverpool in the 70's and 80's and hooked onto Rovers when Jack W turned up.
And if you want to chant anti Kean on the game , so be it, I'd love to see the back of him, too many sweatys managing English clubs cos they suck up to owners in a style the jocks and paddys always have. You pays your money as they say, but if you sit on your ar5e at home , no one hears your opinion.
Talking of opinions I wish those 3 or 4 miserable old gits in the Riverside (row 11, seats 89, 90, 91 etc would get off Pedersons case. 7 years , some superb goals (dingles in cup replay my favourite), tons of assists, and dedication to the cause and these coffin dodgers slate him off. I was quick to point out to them his assist last night, goal v Leicester and pass at Leeds for Olsons goal. No recognition never mind apology off either of the t0ssers

This will show the media, Venky's, Shebby etc that the "fans" will return once Kean is history.
Just think what affect an empty stadium would have never in the history of football would the power of the fans be shown to be so powerful. Give the game back to the fans, not the play thing of people who do not care two hoots for the game.

Shut up u moron, are you supporting Rovers or Kean?

Why not stick with rovers and forget who the manager and owners are, have you ever thought that the negativity of the fans chanting 'Kean Out' rubs off on the players and effects the way they play??

How about not using up your energy on kean and use it on rovers who are at the heart of this and what really matters, its all about pushing the players on and encouraging them to thrive and push them in the right direction rather than breeding the negativity on the pitch, were a laughing stock week in week out with the away fans due to the fact that we always chanting kean out and they join in cause this will impact the way our players perform.

I was at the game yesterday, nobody has mentioned etuhu, even though he is big and strong and lundges in time to time he had the ball quite often yesterday and what did he do everytime he got the ball even when in space, pass it to another player who has a defender marking him close by, etuhu needs to use his size and power to push forward and run with the ball, all he tends to do is win the ball and pass it rather than using the space he has.

Even though the turn out is dire i only hope this gets better, just waiting to play burnley cause thats when all the rovers fans will come and once they watch rovers play burnley (depending on a good result at the end of it) we should see plenty more of them supporters coming back for more.
