[Archived] Pre-season Friendlies

[brfcshabba]

Early days but we seem to be closing down well

[RibbleValleyRover]

Good performance by us so far.

Probably going to change with a flurry of subs at half-time

[Presty On Tour]

Glad to see a bit of commitment even though its a friendly

[vintageadidas]

Emerton looks well up for it tonight!

[hollowsr]

Lee is obviously quite bored now!! ON the mins on official website he mentions us having Roque and them having a guy on the bench called Balboa!!

[DeadlyDirk]

I wonder what Jason Brown's thinking right now when we signed Robinson an hour before kick off.

Hopefully he'll enjoy his first and possibly last appearance of the season!

[Anti-Dingle-Brigade]

Half time - I'm reasonably pleased.

[RibbleValleyRover]

Half-Time, pretty happy with what i've seen so far

[rebelmswar]

Emerton is a class act.

It looks like we have learned synchronized cheap hits

[The Gull]

Half time.

I think we have made some new friends on our holidays! Dirty foreigners!

Nelsen is looking like the Nelsen we all know and love, he has been the stand out for me it that half.

Overall decent performance and Bert is having a decent game on the right in that he is looking a threat and running at the defenders or at least trying something to get round them insted of passing backwards.

I was worried for Reid after that challenge, it was not good at all.

[hollowsr]

Can't complain can we?? Beating Benfica 2-1!!!Good first half!!

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

Brown looks like an Olympic weightlifter...so far so good!

[Blue n White Rover]

Is it just adverts on the link you lot are watching or are you watching the Athletico Madrid game?

[Hasta]

Having seen the last 30 minutes of that half we were quite decent. We had far more possession. Become a bit niggly but good to see we still have that 'kick one we all limp' mentality.

One guy on another forum is stating ta significant number of this team is Benfica's reserves. Anyone confirm?

A lot of their bigger names are on the bench for the second half.

I'm watching ads!!

[roversmum]

Looks like Benfica's goal woke the lads up. Well done, lads, more of the same, please.

Like the shirt a lot.

[Anti-Dingle-Brigade]

Seeing as the likes of Nuno Gomes and Petit are not playing, he's probably right.

As for the person who said is the player using the stretch bands Aimar - yes it is. I think.

[mac]

Can someone PM me with where they watch the game? Where I watch it now is so bad I about to get a headache

Mailox is full

[chocky]

Mailox is full

P.M.me too please..

[Blue n White Rover]

Anyone know how many Rovers fans have travelled. Also is it a sell out crowd. The Rovers website was saying it will be a sell out

[DeadlyDirk]

I didn't know Edge played for Blackburn????

Interesting signing....

[Amo]

Wrestling is laaaame...

[Hughesy]

Isnt a sell out but plenty there
