View Full Version : Football Tenerife Forum Blackburn Rovers Football Club discussion thread
Thought we would have another thread on the 'new' forum.
Not long till the start of the season. All we need now is a few quality signings! Not going to hold my breath!
Here is the new kit as modelled by Olsson, Nzonzi and Hoillett! Not sure about the Venky badge but am told that it's only for the Indian tour!

Not as bad as sitting watching that rubbish for 90 minutes,now that wasn't nice, Just before half time Rovers gave a foul throw and the commentator said "that sums up Rovers they don't even know how to do a throw in".Direrolleyes2:rolleyes2:

So how about a little praise for Steve Kean a man under EXTREME pressure what a great result yesterday playing with 10 men for most the match. Maybe time to get behind the team and try help them stay in the Premier league, I think he is doing his best with no help from the board.rolleyes2:
I also think Steve Kean comes across very well in interviews and the fans need to get off his back,the players all seem to be pulling their tripe out for him, I wish you luck this season but not in your next game against the mighty Toffee's :D :whistle:

really hope blackburn stay up,if only the blackburn fans knew the full story behind the scenes at ewood park, players not being played because it triggers clauses in contracts and would cost loads money to the club, players being forced to leave because if they go down the club would have to give them new contracts etc this is only some of the goings on and it comes from a very reliable source who works for one of the soon to be ex players, time the fans knew the full story from the club instead of paying there hard earned cash to keep the club afloat (and im not even a blackburn fan)

You are correct on all counts! It's time Venky either supported the club, manager and players or sold up!
We have had 15 months of their lies and deceit! Bringing in Anderson and SEM agency!
It's got that bad that even the local telegraph have been told to take off any supporters comments from their website!
AJ the protests aren't solely about Steve Kean but is mostly aimed at the owners! They know nothing about football and should have stuck to their first love cricket!
I won't be buying another season ticket as long as they own the club! My hard earned money isn't going to India!

Al don't park on the Aldi/McDonalds car park unless you want a parking ticket. As you come off motorway and turn right there is a pub on the left called the Golden Cup, think they charge a fiver, it's a 5-10 min walk down to Ewood.
Doubt you'll be able to park on streets around Ewood as they are now parking permits for residents!
Ta Susie! One of the lads mentioned the Golden cup earlier! Queue at Goodison earlier was ridiculous and they had sold out by 3pm!

No worries Al. Not be going myself as other things to do and £12/£15 put me off for a friendly!
Ah well a good day was had by all 3-1 to the Blues on a boiling hot day in Lancs, Mirallas and Jelavic 2, We ended up parking on Jack Walker way at the side of the Fernhurst! Blackburn opened the top tier of the Darwen end stand as the lower tier was sold out, its a great view! Pitch looked magnificent,was shocked when the Rovers came out in Red with a white vertical stripe! It seemed like a home game with 7000 Scousers and only 2500 home fans ! The Golden Cup was full outside with everyone enjoying a few beers! Hope Blackburn get back to the Prem soon and good luck in the seasons opener at Derby County!!! As you can tell i have a soft spot for t'Rovers! :D

Watched the Match courtesy of Everton TV and Everton fans were a credit to the t theyClub with how many went to the game, Blackburn fans should be ashamed of themselves obviously a lot were only there for the glory years, new Manager and a great club like Everton and they couldn't be bothered going.It was really good coverage and a word of praise for the two commentators two of the best I have heard for a long time.Good luck to Everton for the coming season.Glad you enjoyed your day AJ. We watched Rovers then went to Scampi's for Fish and Chips just like being at home.
Ewood looked great today all spick and span with new lick of paint for the new season, Stewards/Police/Staff/Catering were all spot on!
the commentators on Everton TV were Graham Beecroft and Ex Blue striker Graeme Sharp,nice to know that you can receive it in Tenerife!

Yeh it was a really good stream and they had 5 Links to it, was amazed when I saw it was on Internet was supposed to be going out as it wasn't listed as being on Net, got ready to go and thought I would just check again and was amazed when I saw it on Firstrow Sports, plans were changed pretty quick.Made me quite homesick.Was surprised Rovers played in away kit.Pity the owners of Rovers couldn't stay to watch the full match, they left after 65 mins.

Glad you enjoyed Al Jay. Went through Ewood about 12pm and there were quite a few toffee fans around.
Well after 2 seasons I have finally been and renewed mine and hubby's season tickets!
Haven't been happy with things at Ewood since Kean/Venkys came to our club!
The appointment of Gary Bowyer and his team have put so much positivity down at Ewood!
We will be Riversiders for the 2013/14 season! So excited!
Just got home from the football.
Enjoyed it but we lost 1-0 in 90th min. Was good to get back down to Ewood though! Going to be a long hard season!
Never mind Sue only 22 more home games to go at Ewood ....:tiphat:

Well our first win of the season came, no disrespect to Barnsley but we beat them 5-2! Was a good atmosphere at Ewood.
Hopefully this will kick start our season. Come on you blues! ⚽
Well in Susie....the best bit of your quote was.."Come on you blues!"....:hello:
What another fab game at Ewood yesterday against our local rivals Bolton Wanderers. The atmosphere was good.
Every single player of ours should have got MoM.
We have scored 9 goals in 2 games in a week. I just hope we can hold onto Jordan 'he scores when he wants' Rhodes. 4 goals in 2 games.
A big thank you to Team GB for giving us another fab Sat.

He wasn't a judas, he played well for us in the time he was there, but he was always going to play for Newcastle as was his home team.
He played for us for 4 years and for Newcastle 10 years. He also went for a record £10m to Newcastle, we only paid £3.6m with David Speedie transferring.

Can you check the year 1938-1939 Rovers were Second Division Champions and the goalkeeper in the photograph in my History of Blackburn Rovers was Jimmy Barron, but you have got me curious now.

What a great night last night down at Ewood. The club had really put a lot of effort into the before game activities, especially for the youngsters, giving out posters and inflatable zebras. The premier league cup was in the club shop so that people could see and have photos taken with it.
There's also a new fan zone area.
Atmosphere was pretty good too. 1-1 draw at home was a fair result.
So looking forward to season.
Tuesday night we play Scunthorpe in the cup at Ewood.
Thanks to Gary Bowyer and his team for bringing back the pride at our great club. http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/08/09/aqepu5ar.jpghttp://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/08/09/y4a5e6um.jpghttp://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/08/09/7e9e4y2a.jpg

Thanks to Gary Bowyer and his team for bringing back the pride at our great club. http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/08/09/aqepu5ar.jpghttp://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/08/09/y4a5e6um.jpghttp://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/08/09/7e9e4y2a.jpg
A fair result for the first game if the season against Cardiff who will be fighting for promotion as well. An interesting season to come in the championship!

Oi AJ, can fall out with you quite easily using those swear words!
Ewood looked great today all spick and span with new lick of paint for the new season, Stewards/Police/Staff/Catering were all spot on!
the commentators on Everton TV were Graham Beecroft and Ex Blue striker Graeme Sharp,nice to know that you can receive it in Tenerife!
Can't believe this was 12 months ago.
Today's win at Blackpool was for you Al Jay, RIP.

Still don't know if Jack Prat did play or not but must say he was invited to go to the club about two years ago as he was the oldest Blackburn Rovers still alive.
Bob a guy I know has just relayed this to me:
JT Pratt played the last two games of 35-36 and 4 more games in the middle of the following season.
He did play for Rovers but 1935-36.

Many thanks for the Info.I went to see Jack last week in his nursing home and must say
for his age he is still got all his beans and holds a great conversation,most about football of course.
He is a very very nice man.

That's great. We had a gentleman last week at club celebrating his 100th birthday.
It might be worth contacting Blackburn Rovers via website and they maybe able to help you. I'm told they employ a historian.
Well today we are away to Wolves. Let's hope we can take away the 3 points, won't be easy, wolves have had an even better start than we have.
2 years ago today Jordan Rhodes signed for our club, what a signing he has been and a lot of clubs would like him. http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/14/08/30/7e39d3ea1013860c2128d8e79313cf23.jpg
On another note it looks like we have signed a good young CB from Everton, Shane Duffy, was on loan at Yeovil I think, highly thought of.

Yes they are a good team. It's early days yet and still 40+ games to play but Kenny Jackitt has got them well organised.
We weren't at our best yesterday, first half very poor.
A two week break now for international duty.
Got 2 home games, Wigan on 13th (day after I get back from Tenerife) and Derby Weds 17th.

He may well end up wining golden boot but will that change the fact that for some reason the bigger clubs don't rate him they are all screaming out for goal scorers but his name is very seldom mentioned must be something about him they don't fancy.As a Scotland fan I would love to be proved wrong

He is linked with nearly every club in prem and championship. Had a real tussle to keep him last transfer window, Bruce wouldn't take no for an answer.
TBH though don't really care if none of other clubs want him, I'd rather he stayed and partnered Gestede. He's a very likeable lad and not one for being in the limelight.
Don't care that he doesn't play for Scotland, they a Mickey Mouse team. [emoji6]

So all the hacks from the tabloids who are well known for making up stories to fill up space. Do you class Blackburn as one of the big teams in England ? they were up there for few seasons fueled by one mans money does not make them one of the "big" sides and were they not humped if i remember by a diddy Scottish team in Europe. I am under no illusions about the Scottish national team they have won nothing but you do get a great day out watching them :c2:and yes the league is crap all that is acknowledged by most people in Scotland but remember the population differances & Sky TV money.:tiphat:

I've never said Blackburn were a big team. They have gone through ups and downs in last 4 years but with Gary Bowyer at the helm he has steadied things.
I have supported BRFC for some 22 years or so. We've had good times and also some very dark times. Luckily the good times seem to be returning.

Best of luck for the home draw ...Blackburn are number 3 ..whilst Bolton are number 10.. if they win the replay.
What a great result for us yesterday against Fulham. Didn't go as dog had surgery to remove his spleen on Friday, didn't want to leave him, listened on Rovers Player.
A big thanks to Bolton for loaning us Jay Spearing, by all accounts had a good game and was very close to getting MoM.
Hopefully we can keep hold of our front two Rhodes and Gestede.

No, I don't think we've got a chance tbh. It was only 3 or 4 weeks ago that we were just 3 points above the relegation zone so any finish in the top half would be classed as a good finish imo. We've got some good players now in Watt, Vetokele, Bulot and keeper Henderson although some are just on contracts until the end of the season so I hope our Belgian master digs deep and offers them enough to sign for longer. Sadly it looks like Bulot will be going back to his parent club at the end of the season so we'll need another decent penalty taker (6/6 for him so far).
How about Rovers, do you think/hope they will make the play offs? If they were promoted could they maintain a position in the top division or would it be one of those 'enjoy the moment' seasons as you repeat what the likes of Leicester and QPR have achieved? Personally I'd take winning in the Championship over having a Leicester season in the Prem.

Bowyer sacked according to the Sun Newspaper.
GARY BOWYER has become the first managerial casualty of the season after he was axed as manager of Blackburn.
The Ewood Park side lost 1- 0 at Brighton on Saturday to plunge into the bottom three of the Championship.
Rovers have taken only two points from their first four games and were also dumped out of the Capital One Cup by League One Shrewsbury.
Bowyer took over two years ago after acting as caretaker manager.
The 44-year-old has had to work under a crippling transfer embargo with the club £80million in debt and this summer lost star men Rudy Gestede, Josh King and Tom Cairney.
The club’s financial problems mean he has not been able to bring in any replacements.
But Rovers owners the Venky’s are infamous for a revolving door policy on managers.

My oh My.... how things have changed or ? have theyi have always seen blackburn as a big club. and i remember us playing wigan in the 80's. and they got to the premiership.now look at them? with all the money they have in parachute payments from their time in the prem, and they are languishing in the bottom half of the old second division:(,. football isn't all about football. its about finance, business and the fans come third:(

He can't do if he can't see that JR would score him goals. Maybe he should go to Specsavers?

Okay you didn't say he was rubbish but you did say he wasn't good enough and you didn't want him.
If he doesn't get to play then so be it but at least you would have put yourself in with more of a chance. He's scored 5 goals in 7 starts.

I personally don't think he fits into the way Strachan's sets up Scotland he is keen on centre forward that can hold the ball up and bring midfield into play and he clearly does not think that JR is the man for the job, Scotland do not create a lot of chances in games . Now Grant Hanley he is a decent player but always seems have one or two very bad moments during a game but I do rate him if he could cut out the lapses he would be a really top class defender

Yes I think you're right there AJ. JR doesn't hold the ball up, more of a poacher.
Now Grant he can be very frustrating at times, he does have lapses in a game and at times they have cost us.
For Blackburn I prefer Duffy & Killgallon at the back.
Towards end of last season a lot of our supporters turned on Grant, I thought unfairly but they pay their money, they have an opinion.

I don't waste my time watching that rubbish. My love is Northern & Republic Ireland.
I'm glad really that he hasn't played because there's always the chance he could get injured, like Aguero out for up to 8 weeks.
Maybe it's time GS reorganised his team? Might have qualified if done earlier, if they do get through it will be by the skin of their teeth and be lucky to get through next stage.

I too am glad to see both Ireland & Nothern Ireland doing well and would have to say that Scotland have made huge progress under Strachan from where we were, it was only the very very poor game against Georgia that costs us. I along with most of The Tartan Army hope Strachan stays he has done a great job.Hopefully Rhodes gets his chance with a much bigger team in the January window to help him relize the potential you think he has, but he seems to have been stuck at that level of football for a quite a while now there must be a reason for that overpriced / not good enough ???????????.
