[Archived] Blackburn V. Stoke City

[snatchymcsnatch]

We're looking like we want the ball now - keep it tight till half time...

How fired up for this is Dunny? Makes me so proud someone like that is wearing our shirt today.

Tis early morning here and i've woken the wife 3 times now! The sly smirk on Sam's face is priceless. He can't believe his luck.

It's a word that usually precedes GE'RRRIIIIIIIIIIIN!!!

[Derbyshire Blue]

Ball in to McCarthy about 35 yards out, he back heels it to Roberts who knocks it round the defender to go one-on-one, his shot is saved but the rebound comes to McCarthy who puts it between two players stood on the line. Actually one of those players should have stopped it, but the build up was great.

Edit: I see what the earlier poster meant about Trevor Francis' commentating, he really is annoying. The guy alongside him seems okay though.

Its Chris Waddle! on 5Live

[Sysagent]

Marvelous bloody marvelous!

Just got back from the daughter's swimming club, stuck the radio on in the car and the guy says Rovers 3 - Stoke 0, I nearly crashed the car I was that jubilant...

Superb stuff, have we played that well and how is the defense shaping up?

[emglch]

i will take 3-0 at full-time. better times ahead.

I'm not listening to 5 Live. Maybe it's not Trevor Francis on mine then...I'm pretty sure it is though.

[PAFELL]

So bloody wished i'd have gone now

The way it is going - also with Big Sam's first game - it could be the main game on sky tonight - football first -so the whole game should be shown about 8pm

Just need to make sure we don't let Stoke get a goal in the first 15-20 mins after the break otherwise the second half could be tricky. Overall Stoke have had more possession and more of the play but we have had the better chances and have taken them.

Very happy indeed.

Big Sam bringing in attacking football at Ewood?

Listened to a good 20 mins or so in the car on the way home from some weekend work. Well excited!

[Presty On Tour]

Who was the chap in the Riverside who wouldn't give the ball back for a Stoke thrown in?

[3recurring]

Delighted with the scoreline. Just need to make sure we secure the result now.

A gloomy Saturday afternoon has morphed into a joyful celebration of all things Rovers. C'mon lads, keep it up!

[Rover Down Under]

I like the look of these 12 new players Sam has signed...

[KoNG]

Half time footage. This weeks magic number is "6"... The number of months paul ince was in management. Haha. And they showed the "not yet anyway" footage. Ouch

[bigbrandjohn]

Manged to get back in one piece and listening on the Stoke feed from BBC Stoke cos the Rovers feed is knackered on my computer. An interesting experience.

[Mr. E]

I don't know why it hasn't happened for Roberts/McCarthy this season, they really can be a very, very good strikeforce. I hope they pick up from this.

Stoke City's support though is very serious, I've never heard an away team so loud in the Premiership. Or at least that's how it's coming off from the stream. In periods it felt like an away game.

[LeChuck]

I can't tell if it's a fan or a coach of ours sat really near a microphone, but you can hear nearly everything they're saying in the match.
