[Archived] Blackburn Rovers vs. Aston Villa

[bellamy11]

Old boys Warnock and Brad combining for that one

[Rover Down Under]

An absolute carbon copy of his free kick 2 weeks ago. Brad obviously doesn't watch highlights. Good time to score as well!

[Amo]

Howler from Friedel.

I wish Pedersen had saved that for the start of the second half. Rovers hate leading at the break.

[imy9]

Another goal by MGP, he obviously meant it as it's his second free kick goal for us, I think we need some extra support fir Givet who has played quite well after a really tough start.

[BuckyRover]

He really is showing the Pedersen haters up. You should support our players.

[Tim Southampton Rover]

It's rare that Brad make a mistake at Ewood. He probably should have claimed that. I guess the awful Villa marking didn't help him.

[Eddie]

Why do the commentators never believe that he is shooting? He does it time and again and they always think that he's just overhit a cross.

[martmitch]

very uncharacteristic mistake from brad, was very well hit free kick from mgp tho, villa are making lots of mistakes and most of the play is in their half. I hope we dont come out for the second half with a sit behind the ball mentality and try to win it 1-0

Was a poor mistake. Perhaps being roughed up a bit has led to that?

[imy9]

Or the fact that he is nearly 40?

[Mr. E]

Morten is a magician again.

Yes Friedel could have saved it, but that doesn't take away from how well that free-kick was curled into the top corner. Real quality stuff.

And it would have been a crime to not be ahead after so many set-pieces...now the game will be decided by who scores next. Villa are dangerous on the counter.

[BuckyRover]

It would be incredibly foolish to do that in front of our new owners.

[Amo]

He's been shockingly average for years, and now he's picked up a little form you're using it to say 'I told you so'?

[BuckyRover]

Or the fact that he is nearly 40?

I know it's only one mistake but would anyone swap him for Robbo?

I wouldn't.

[Messi422]

Hope Roberts score the second goal and it will be the 3 time both of them score at the same game and same sequence.

[BuckyRover]

Nothing wrong with being an average premier league player. I'm quite happy that I don't get on the case of one of our most loyal and hard working players. Especially as we know what he can produce when he is feeling confident.

perhaps with more support from 'fans' such as yourself, more of our players would be playing with a little more form more often

Then you obviously have low standards, because I expect more from our key midfielder - especially when we've seen what he's capable of in the past. As for "loyalty", the modern footballer doesn't know the meaning of the word.

Welcome to the bandwagon.

No chance - Robinson is firmly back up in the top 3 keepers in the league now.

Any feelings I had for Friedel left about a week after he decided to join Villa

great bit of business by the club

[broadsword]

Nothing wrong with being an average premier league player.

And are his wages average as well?

He's not even been average at time, particularly with his dead-ball delivery. At times, he's been absolutely shocking.

[unclejack28]

Givet off chimbonda on.

I remember theno being gutted about the transfer. I expect him to come on and say he was completely wrong and Ince did something good.

He knows when to admit he was wrong.

[Nelsta]

Givet off - On Chimbonda

[philipl]

Going to hide for the 47th minute.

Average for an established Premier league and International midfielder?

Yes.
