I know we get the same argument that all though we go we hate Kean to and the owners , but we are supporting the team, bs. YOU are supporting a team mostly bought by Kean and the Venkys supporting players like Murphy , how much this guy is on a week who knows , but he along with ethuu are not at the races the midfield is overun , and Kean stands on the line doing a fergie chewing act and clueless how to organise the team, thankgod they have robbo in the nets , there is no LEADER on the pitch, if you wanna save your club from oblivion stay away , maybe then the regime will leave.

So this is the best squad you have had you deluded individual.
Well considering none of our back 5 are good enough for even the championship along with Murphy and his mate etuhu that's 7 out of 11
Add Bruno to that making 8 out of 11 and your not left with much.
Murphy is just taking the club for a ride. He is utterly out of his depth however will be collecting a nice pay packet for the next two years.
Sorry but Givet has also lost his pace now especially over 5 metres. To suspect to ball over the top now to.
Mr Glen Hoddle please come and rescue us from this totally inept excuse of a manager.

big-head Murphy provided comic relief by dropping his shoulder and thinking that he could beat a youngster for pace, and Manager of the month Kean did sweet FA to counter boro's threat. Well done Rovers, you made Boro look like a proper premiership team again.

What a perfect start to the weekend. Thank you Agent Kean, master tactician as always. Give the fans a glimmer of hope like you did last season, then turn off the light. Drives em crazy. Think I fancy a large glass of Claret.

Orr especially, you are the worst defender I've ever had the misfortune to watch and god I've seen some **** in my time !! If this back four never play for Rovers again it will be to **** soon !!!!!!!1

Ok - Yes I guess - but only just mind
Have to take into account PC scored against the Dingles so stays off the bottom of Rovers worst player ever list to be replaced by Orr.
Has anyone got Glen Hoddles number.

Watching this guy over the last 3 away games and one at home Tuesday, feck it - he his worth watching for the class that he oozes along side the bang, bang, bang Shearess Rhodes.
The rest is at best comical school boy stuff, but then comes the front line. long may it continue.
No show tonight after Tuesday evening as I don't feel Ewood Park 1875 deserves the atmosphere around it for reasons that we contest on a daily basis.
Delicious.
My only sunshine you make me happy when sky's are grey
Please don't take my Rovers away.
