GOALFLASHES AND MAJOR INCIDENTS (all times BST)

By Caroline Cheese

1825: "This has been going on and on - about Roque Santa Cruz and other people. Let's dispel all this. No-one is leaving the club. We have had a really good start. We have won at Everton and not many teams do that apart from the top four. It was a great achievement."

Blackburn boss Paul Ince after the 3-2 win over Everton

[T4E]

Keep saying it Incey. It'll probably only take about 10 more times. Don't waver.

Oh, and don't let Mathias speak to anyone.

[AussieinUk]

Oh, and don't let Mathias speak to anyone.

Ahem to that T4E.

EDIT: Well RSC! 1/1 so far

We can't let him go - no matter what kind of money is offered!

[den]

According to the MEN, City reckon a new deal is being put to Rocky and their hopes of signing him are fading.

[T4E]

Deserves every penny.

[modes98]

Sign him up for the rest of his career.

[RibbleValleyRover]

If thats what it takes to keep him at least another season, do it JW!

He's worth every penny.

[Ozz]

According to the MEN, City reckon a new deal is being put to Rocky and their hopes of signing him are fading.

"Even so, Rovers have not been tempted with boss Paul Ince making it clear they don't want to sell Santa Cruz who began the new season in impressive form on Saturday, scoring in the 3-2 win over Everton and making the last minute winner after his header hit a post.

"

From the MEN. Thought it was Nelsen's header?

[Eddie]

It was. Think it sums up their report.

[Hughesy]

Why would Roque go to a poorer team asks Nelsen! Good lad!

Nelsen on Roque Staying

[roversmum]

About time somebody told them Well done Ryan

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

Nice to see our players standing up for the club....makes a change!

[RoyRover]

It's about time somebody said it and I'm glad that it is Nelsen. City may be a 'bigger' club than us, but they sure as hell aren't better.

[Mr Creosote]

According to the MEN, City reckon a new deal is being put to Rocky and their hopes of signing him are fading.

Chris Bailey, Frank's spin doctor at the M.E.N. has finally given up.

He's now bigging up Ci'eh's youth team prospects. In other words they're potless.

Brad on Roque

http://www.sportinglife.com/football/news/...p;TEAMHD=soccer

"But when it comes to transfer money, I don't even know if he is saleable what with myself and Bentley already gone, you'd have to call John Williams (Blackburn chairman) and ask him that.

"It would be tough if three of us were to leave in one summer.

[Eddie]

Hate Friedel now.

[kieran84]

Sorry

the only thing I read in that was wee Shauny is going home. Which makes me (and him I'm sure) happy. Now if wee Stan was just to follow him.........

[CrazyIvan]

I quite like what he wrote and there is nothing in there to suggest Brad is trying to sell our best players. Roque is a damn good player and it's not a surprise to hear a professional like Friedel say so.

Dunny says Blackburn duo will stay

Theres an audio link as well as the article on the page.

I'm even more confident that Roque is going nowhere, with several players speaking out saying we need to keep Roque i think its clear if Roque goes there could be serious unrest between the players and management/board.

Going off topic slightly but its good to hear Dunny relishing a more attacking role under Ince, he is at his best when he is going forward in my opinion.
