    Could we please have a seperate forum/thread for the people who just post negatives. This thread is about a new signing and his hopeful ambitions at Rovers, and yet people see fit to slag him off. Give the guy a chance.

    Negatives are fine, where warranted, and everybody is entitled to their own opinion. All is not rosy at Ewood, but having to trawl through all the repetative dross about not buying a season ticket, hate this person and that, only going to away games etc is boring.

    If some of you "negs" attend away games and continually abuse Kean and not get behind the team, then I would expect few away points - probably the result you want, however, are you a true supporter?

    The club should ensure that away tickets are only available to season ticket holders.

    Rant over, and I am awaiting the abuse!!


    Looks like Chorley FC is now out of bounds in view of Garry Flitcroft's comments, but then again, do other clubs want to put up with moaning fans.
    what did Flitcroft say? I never saw anything from him....hope you can enlighten me please.
    After reading comments this morning I am getting the impression that Flitty has announced that he does not welcome any protesting at Chorley FC on matchday.
    This is quite right, because it has nothing to do with them and would surely harm their concentration onfield.
    I would hope that any who were planning to can readily respect his concerns and wishes.
    Any that ignore this and continue will certainly cause a hell of a lot of harm again to our image."

Blackburn Rovers new boy Gomes has World Cup dream

NUNO Gomes believes his shock Blackburn Rovers move could hand him an international lifeline – as he bids for a dream World Cup finale.

The 36-year-old signed a two-year deal at Ewood Park last week and revealed he turned down several other offers, including one from Premier League Everton.

The former Benfica, Fiorentina and Braga striker has played in World Cups and European Championships for Portugal and hopes his English switch could earn him an international recall.

He insists helping Rovers back into the Premier League at the first attempt is the priority but believes that could also earn him a place in Portugal’s squad for the World Cup in 2014.

He said: “The talks began two weeks ago. It was quite fast. I had other offers, even from Everton from the Premier League, but everyone here made me feel at home. That was very important for me.

“I’m going to live in Manchester. It’s an hour trip and my family will be with me there. I hope also that Black-burn can help me, perhaps I could even be at the 2014 World Cup with Portugal.

“I had offers from Braga and also Benfica, but wanted to play in England. I had some talks with guys from the MLS and from Everton, but the guys from Rovers convinced me.

“They want me to help the team reach the Premier League. That’s the main goal, the Premier League. I think I can become an idol to the fans. At every club I’ve played, I had the fans’ support and hope I can get it there as well.

“I always loved English football. In England everyone looks at what the player does on the pitch. They don’t look at how old we are. I think I can score many goals, and who knows, after two years maybe I can renew thecontract.”
