[Archived] PROTEST!

[Majiball]

So when is? When we go down under Kean? When it's too late?

Sing them to Safety.

It will be worth it.

[RibbleValleyRover]

Sing them to Safety.

It will be worth it.

Yeah it's worked so far, backing the team 100% has really worked these last 10 games. The players really have responded with their outstanding performances...

Let's face it we have a ###### poor squad managed by a complete numpty. Only one fate under Kean and that's relegation.

[ABBEY]

If we lose and people do wish to protest please aim your anger at Kean, not Venky's.

why? they apponted him and talked of champions league or was it chumps league,they talked of maradonna,ronaldiniho,riquelme etc.,they never attend bar one game ,THEY ARE PATHETIC!

[Majiball]

Go on let your emotions run it all then, good luck with that.

If people on here seriously think i don't understand what has happened and who is responsible then I despair.

Simple fact of life in this country, blame, blame blame it's not the answer, solutions, resolutions and ensuring the same mistakes aren't made twice is the real way forward here, not it's your fault and yours and yours.

For me that is pathetic because it's the easy option.

Someone on here said an attack on Kean was an attack on Venky's that's true, so consequently an attack on Venky's is also an attack on Rovers.

Support Rovers.

[den]

Pointless discussing protests. Total waste of time debating it. If they happen, they happen.

The best way of avoiding them is by going out on the park and putting in a performance. Failure to do that and they'll get what they deserve - rightly or wrongly.

STEVE KEANS BLUE AND WHITE ARMY ,VIVA VENKYS...DO THEY SELL STEAK PUDDINGS IN MILAN.

[Majiball]

DO THEY SELL STEAK PUDDINGS IN MILAN.

I didn't see any when I was there last year.

[Plastic Head]

I'm going to slaughter a cow in front of the Riverside.

However the tradition way Rovers fans protest is not to turn up at Ewood. That will happen next season.

What are the solutions?

[Majiball]

What are the solutions?

Barca fans wave white hankies when they are unhappy. As Baz suggested there are other ways to voice our concerns than everyone screaming and shouting whilst drunk, which for me will only worsen the situation. How will it affect our players, who are already low by the looks of things? People need to consider the ramifications of this and how it will affect Rovers collectively from players to owners. I for one do not want at the end of the season to sit back and reflect on what's gone and wonder if my actions played a role in our demise.

Bridges need to built on both sides here and someone has to be the bigger man. But some sort of relationship between fans and Venkys needs to be built and I am not one of the people with contacts to our owners.

How do people raise concerns in Indian culture, someone on here must know.

Equally the action of doing nothing could play just as big a part come the end of the season.

An after game protest isn't sensible in my eyes, as you have said emotions/beer will be controlling the majority of fans we don't want things getting ugly and out of control.

Also what if we win? a protest would look a bit daft.

However a protest, done in the right way and at the right time, would surely make Venkys aware of the fans feelings?

[Majiball]

I do not disagree.

Trouble is what is the right way? All we need to do is get them bad press in India and for me because I don't have an in depth knowledge of how these things are done over there, it makes proposing solutions difficult.

Under the trust we would never have called for their heads, if the manager was under-performing we would have called for his head. Venky's may not have had the best of starts, it's been awful in reality but they own the club and so are part of the club just like us, we need to find a way to build a constructive relationship.

People on here know the likes of Tom Finn, perhaps through him some sort of line of communication to the Roa's could established?

We have a worldwide audience on Monday night, will there be a better opportunity to get the coverage?

[Amo]

Football protests are absolutely pointless.

Does Mike Ashley give a rat's ass about the Toon protests?

Or how about the Glazers, when faced with a sea of yellow & green scarfs?

Now, if a large percentage of Rovers fans protested with their feet, well Venky's would have to sit up and take notice.

But that will never happen.

[philipl]

The alpha and the omega of the situation is that we have to be still Premier League members on 1 July 2011 (start of 2011/2 season).

Venky's, Kean, Anderson and whatever else has landed us in this atrocious situation are simply irrelevant.

All that matters is that whatever random selection of 11 players in blue and white shirts who come onto the pitch at 7.45 pm on Monday night are roared to the rafters and we give our Rovers team all the vocal support we possibly can.

AND that means not turning on the screaming at chickens until it is absolutely impossible to get anything more out of Monday night's game.

There are a bunch of brave people on here saying there are better things around the corner. All I can say is that I have been told a huge amount which is not in the public domain and frankly NOT A LOT OF IT MAKES ANY SENSE WHATSOEVER.

Venky's are giving all the outwards appearance of being chicken-brained simpletons and believe me they are going to be getting plenty of heat (if not already) from the real heavyweights in the Indian business and political community for looking complete and utter idiots with this purchase of Rovers. But all this is utterly insignificant compared with us all being big enough to save up our anger about their total incompetence for the right time.

Kick off on Monday evening is time to forget about the numpties and BACK THE LADS.

I agree, call for Kean's and Jerome Andersons head's. Not Venkys, but do Venkys even know how the fans feel about the situation?

As said above, the game is live on sky, wont get much better coverage.

Football protests are absolutely pointless.

Does Mike Ashley give a rat's ass about the Toon protests?

didn't he basically sack Allardyce due to fan pressure?

[Ben-2000]

Think i've posted this before... but any protests should be after the game... get behind the lads during the game, the opposite will have a negative effect.

There's a Kean Out protest planned for after the Man City game... came across this on facebook...

>>LINK<<

[Mattyblue]

So, today's hints of brighter days are wrong, phil?

[philipl]

There are no brighter days playing Brighton in the Championship.

The financial and playing side hits we would take from being relegated would simply swamp whatever people (current or prospective) who want the best for Rovers and can back their wishes with hard cash could do for us.

I am not changing what I posted several weeks ago now- even under Venky's Rovers would not go bust following relegation but there is also grotty news which has not broken.

For once life is straightforward and simple.

ROVERS FANS HAVE GOT TO GET BEHIND THE PLAYERS FOR THE NEXT c.470 MINUTES OF FOOTBALL.

I have worked in it, you don't question the management or you are out.

That's the most sensible post you've made for many months.

Well said.

[beerwins]

Protest wont achieve anything, this lot have skin thicker than a Rhino with Psoriasis, the only way Venky's will learn is when they are £40 mill short next season, they will still be clueless but skint too.

Out of all the clubs near the bottom of the prem we are on the worst form and we our the only club having this turmoil off the pitch, I really think this makes us more a favourite to go down more than any other team.

We still havent even got a chairman FFS, these owners deserve to lose the £40 mill they banked on but Blackburn Rovers do not deserve these owners.

[TimmyJimmy]

Or to put it another way ...

“As a former player and from my experiences, and speaking to others, I know that a negative atmosphere at a game has a detrimental effect on the players".

"The only people who can get us out of this now are the players and the manager that we have got. That is not changing and so all we can do is get behind them as best as we can".

Dougie

[K-Hod]

I do hope the atmosphere is much better and fans get behind the team, as the atmosphere in the DE the last couple of home games was really poor for long periods in my view, now there's no Rovers fans in the DE, it's all on the BBE!

However, if we go 2-0 down things will get really ugly inside Ewood, a la Blackpool.
