now on ssn

glen on ssn

What did he say?

[Kamy100]

Finished now, very good natured. All chants about Kean. I would say between 350-500, hard to judge. No trouble and very peaceful. Weather was atrocious!

Steve Keans just commented on it he says it reminded him of a young million man march!

[Wing Wizard Windy Miller]

point well made by protesters. peaceful and well behaved. well done to all involved. in ground now coyb

[newfan]

What did he say?

pointed keans record

said they support owners and players

never a good time to sack the manager but SK should go now his record not good

SK bought players who he don't start with

all the vision is of venkys vision and not SK's vision

[BPF]

Glen was just all over the US ESPN! World famous!

[Ferrit]

Good turn out, a couple of reprobates aside it was very well mannered and point made.

Source BBC Football website:

BBC Radio 5 live reporter Alastair Yeomans on the pre-match protest against Blackburn manager Steve Kean: "About 250 fans gathered at a pub about a mile away and marched here to Ewood Park. They did one lap of the stadium and had hoped for 500 but were hampered by the bad weather. Despite the rain they did make quite a din. This was a one-issue protest, they want the removal of Steve Kean and hope the owners who are here today have taken notice. This was a small and passionate march which was vociferous and I'm afraid very personal."

Moron - we've had a galvanising effect in that people know we want success. We always said we wanted to win today and kean to go - nothing changed for me

Clueless.

If we'd been stranded well adrift at the bottom of the table after a good proportion of the season, a protest march might have had some merit.

As it was just four games into the season and one game after the close of the transfer window it was ridiculously premature as today's superb win proved.

[sam_rovers]

If protesting leads us to winning we should protest before every match!

The protest factored in Kean's whole tenure which you should agree has been shocking. It was a lucky win more than a superb one, unless Kean can find a way to score an off-side goal every game and rely on own goals then Rovers are still in some serious trouble.

The result has changed nothing in my mind, he still has to go.

Think the drink drive posters were below the belt

[Guest TheArtistFormallyKnownAsJB]

I'd like to see someone explain Yakubu's introduction to the team by Kean as a fluke.

besides, I amj glad that this protest had a low turnout. I stand by comments about the spoilt idiots who have no idea what real protesting is about.

Hopefully this will be the last of them.

[Mercer]

Full credit to Glen & Co. Have done a super job organising and shown real bottle. I think we will find that today's somewhat win will paper over the cracks for a little while, however, I feel the instincts of many Kean doubters will prove right in the end.

[Will]

The day couldn't have turned out better for me, numbers on march were low, it ###### down, tv coverage makes those that took part look ridiculous and the Rovers won!

Time to get behind the team, the manager and everything blue and White.

The owners know how some feel, if it was just a lucky result then I think they got the message and Kean will be on his way.

Yup. I thought so too. Hardly the most intelligent way to get your point across.

Owners delighted with win. They reckon result justifies their backing of Kean, he totally guaranteed his job today for foreseeable future.

Yeah I totally agree especially after he apologised publicly for doing it and trying to wriggle out of it by insinuating that Rovers supporters spiked his drink and originally lying to police, oh wait he didn't, a fine example to all young Blackburn rovers supporters , drive down the motorway at 90 mph , over the drink drive limit whilst talking on your mobile phone.

Much more than any 300.

Next protest march we need a megaphone.

Next protest we need someone as head counter.

Anybody who has criticised the current manager / regime and who lives locally and did not attend (without a damned good reason) then shame on you.
