Aye would have kept you southern ###### at bay.

Hadrian's wall should be rebuilt and scotchmen (lol) should have their own passports and have to apply for visas to live in England to go with the devolution

It is a bit strange that it's mostly fellow Scotsmen who are backing Kean, like there's some link between patriotism and ability.

Sounds pretty clued up. So much so, I assumed he was a Blackburn fan, but he's not (Southend Utd).

Too bad the mainstream media don't have the brains to make these points.

Who you calling southern? that's feighting talk!

Got a search set up on Google for Steve Kean quotes - my Blackberry pings each time a new article is published. God I love this man, he thinks we can stay up under him, not ruling out top 10 either!

[Mattyblue]

We are going to go in to 2012 with one away win in 2011 and 3 wins out of the last 30 and marooned in 20th place, yet Kean is a 'terrific' manager and the fans are clueless morons.

It really is the most backward logic, I suppose it just shows the utter contempt that fans of provincal football clubs are held in. Don't try and question those 'in the game', know your place.

Almost half the managers in the league are from Glasgow.

Almost half the managers in the league are from Glasgow.

I agree. I think the nationalism aspect has been overdone.

Pardew, Redknapp, Merson etc. have all been positive

[EwoodDawn]

It's all very well doing the mediathon with sympathetic journalists on the back of gaining a stunning whole point but he won't answer the questions that many fans sent to Glen and Simon. I sorry, I forgot - too many "health and safety" issues.

It is actually pretty easy to see who the 9 are by clicking on the vote. For those in doubt they are as follows:-

Barney Blue

Mrtomkiss

Rover-the-Top

braddock

Nomiss11

BwfcDanny (Bolton supporter?)

Sandman

Jonnolad (surprise surprise)

Out of order IMO, people are allowed to hold opinions without being targeted for ridicule.

I hope Kean doesn't read that post, especially the last name, I can hear it now...

'No disrespect to local politicians, local journalists and ex players but if the son of God thinks I'm doing a marvellous job in the circumstances I'll listen to him'

From the looks of it, a couple of WUMS and a Bolton fan back Kean.

The rest are Venky plants.

Sadly not with some of the posters on this forum.

He's like @TheBig_Sam on Twitter. Actually that could be it! Maybe the character "Kean" is just a parody of a football manager?

Out of order IMO, people are allowed to hold opinions without being targeted for ridicule.

Even if their opinions are ridiculous? I mean first somone has a ridiculous opinion and the next minute that person is being ridiculed for it just by pointing it out. Unfortunately one thing leads to another. Having said that I don't think those 9 people have been ridiculed to be honest. I mean they're in good company after all with the likes of "Harry" (as Steve now refers to him) and "Fergs" (I made that up, Kean didn't really call Ferguson "Fergs", not yet anyway).

Maybe I've got it all wrong this football lark. I thought it was about winning.

I know. As does every other poster on the forum, if we have a burning desire to know who those people are we can check, my point is what is the need to copy and paste who those people are and then mock their views?

[Mattyblue]

Just read the McNulty blog on the BBC, he has left a comment saying,

'Blackburn fans, is it now time to lay off your manager?'

Well, he obviously needs laying off, but I just find it amazing that he is no longer in the sights of the media pack for dismissal- WE ARE ADRIFT IN 20th PLACE!

Obviously getting a point at the mighty Anfield is what it's all about for a 'small club' like us, stuff dreams are made of, bugger the 3 wins in 30 and impending financial armageddon.

Is there any way we can escape from this spiral of depression and ridicule?

Is relegation going to be the only relief?

Oh well, only a couple of months to go then.

I think their views have only been put there to mock us.

So to summarise December, we lost the two most important home fixtures in a long time, both of which were very winnable. Two terrible performances and one of the worst away performances in a long time against another struggling team in Sunderland... 0 points from 3 games. Hanging on for a draw at Anfield means Steve Kean is still in a job and the players are heroes. Get real Rovers and Venky's. We haven't heard a word from the owners and it pains me to call them that. It's hard to read any other crap thats rovers related while we continue to be left in the dark by Venky's. Are we supposed to overlook the disaster that has happened, like they seem to. They are the disgrace at the end of this and the worst thing that ever happened to this club. It's so hard to support rovers right now.

That's the most sickening thing about all this, WE ARE 5 POINTS BEHIND WOLVES WHO ARE 17TH!

At what point do we have the right to question the idiot? I think it's time the media were given something to write about, the heat needs to be turned up tenfold on the whole organisation.

Disagree Jisty what attracted me to this board was the diverse viewpoints that existed on it, sadly it seems if you are not part of the status quo you are ridiculed for holding an opinion, a real shame IMO.
