[Archived] Rovers 2 Sunderland 0

[philipl]

All those semi-finals; he is having to work hard.

[pleasure]

didn't realise we had a man advantage already mate

only pulling your leg buddy, think we have had some practise now against 10 men, so if it comes to it we must of learned or hughsey will be flying of the handle again.

no offence taken! i meant 10 outfield players defending though

loving these predictions of 6-0 and 7-1 an all. 1-0 will do fine!

[Rovers_4_life]

It's all about the lads getting the job done tonight. I don't care about the performance as long we as we get the three points and avoid the embarrasement of dropping points to Sunderland again! Hopefully we can be 3 or 4 goals up and then Steady can get that goal he needs!

CUMON BLUES!!! not confident though

[sumps]

An embaressing 1-0 with Stead scoring his first goal of the season

[rover6]

I too, have that sense of foreboding that Stead will score against us. However, if we win, I'll be happy for the guy (although his barbed words about Mark Hughes weren't very nice and smacked of sour grapes).

Hope we don't score too early I've seen us do that against "lesser" opposition before and we take the foot off the pedal.

[herbergeehh]

Two games against West Ham.. but I for one will be happy with an early lead, Sunderland scores once every three games anyway.

Hopefully that't the last we've seen of Emerton. Well done Sparky.

Really poor first half so far, Bentley should be starting instead of Pongo.

Neither side has looked dangerous thus far and the games 24minutes in.

Am I missing something?? Where's everybody?

Very lonesome in here today!

C'mon Rovers, let's make it 2-0 for halftime.

[SingaporeanRover]

Bellamy opened the scoring in the 38th minute from right goal box right low with his right foot to put rovers 1 goal ahead!

[SingaporeanRover]

indeed very quiet.. everyone over at Ewood for this?

[Esulx]

Who says Bellamy doesnt score important goals!!!

half time 1-0 to us

[Esulx]

Gordon McQueen is saying on SkySports that Rovers are fortunate to be one nil up and Sunderland are giving as good as they get.

I dont care, we're winning!!!

[modes98]

Bellers hits double figures for the season!

I knew as soon as i put a bet on 0-0 something would happen, good job it went our way. Ah well still got us for 2-0 and just a win!

[ihtd]

everyone off this board cannot be there, i am watching the game and it looks quite empty to me.

Orite Hullrover, so i am not the only Rover in Hull,lol.

Second half get Bentley on, we are a better side with him in it at the moment.

I have sene the first half and we were not very good, a good tap-in by Bellamy us the reason we are winning.
