[Archived] Preview of Newcastle United, 24th September.

i said i was willing to give him the newcastle game to prove that we are now going in the right direction, well my faith in kean is completely gone and its time for him to go, saw the game on tv and we were lucky not to be 5 or 6 down, kean is a muppet of the highest order and the bull he comes out with is beyond belief.

Little by little my love of football is dying with this inposter in charge.

I do know what you mean by that.

Its like loving your country but hating its leadership and the direction it is heading. You want to feel patriotic and proud but it is all a facade covering a very rickety structure.

Like a citizen of pre-WW2 Germany I keep looking for the positives and diluting the negatives with massive measures of fantastical delusions. I know I will still be saluting the banner of Rovers in the crumbling bunker of Ewood, but it will be with eyes wide shut.

Little by little my love of football is dying with this imposter in charge.

I was just thinking exactly this when I saw your post and SK and his motley crew have just lost me two hours of my life that I will never get back.

There was so much wrong today it's impossible to put into just a few words - especially when anger is an overiding influence.

I hate SK - and it's become personal.

We will be in the Championship if he remains in charge. There is a slight glimmer of hope but only if there are 3 other teams worse that our sorry lot.

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

99% of fans are behind Kean according to the man himself........yes sure,with a f'kin boot up his arse!

[broadsword]

I actually want the season to be over with already.

[rebelmswar]

99% of fans are behing Kean according to the man himself........with a f'kin boot up his arse!

If this keeps up I will be behind him all right, in a dark alley with a shovel.

[Paul Mellelieu]

Kean = relegation.

And you don't need to be Einstein to work that one out.

[Drunx2002]

What about standing up and turning our backs to the game at a pre-agreed point in the match or when City score their inevitable first goal along with chants for the manager to be removed?

The march was a good statement but logistics of people joining the march, fear of trouble, the weather meant that the turnout was much lower than it deserved. It's much easier for people to stand up in their seats and turn around, and people are much more likely to join in if those around them are doing the same.

The possible downside is that it may affect the players, so we'd have to raise the roof in vocal support for them immediately afterwards.

The advantages: hopefully Kean and Venkys will realise it's not a minority of supporters, it's free and easy so more may get involved, and it continues along the theme of the open letter and the protest.

that sounds like my Saturday nights

[Darwen Rover]

We need to show tue owners that more than 1% of fans are against Kean.. I felt v sorry for the marchers last week as they were castrated for ACTING on the behalf of theorist of us due to a pretty freakish result - ok I don't actually believe in freak results or luck.. The facts don't usually lie and keans record is dog awful!!

[roverandout]

drunx, how will it affect the players? there wasnt a protest today and they still played like a bag of poo, we protested last week and they won, so this will have no bearing on how well they play, the players and the muppet in charge clearly dont care anyway.

the turn out was lower because it was before a match, if it was after and we had lost 3-1 to Arsenal do you think only 700 would have marched?

I really dont think anyone will die if its after the match.

anyway i don't want another march, just let results get bad enough for him to go.

[sijoco]

I can't believe the front of the guy - he's actually making out we were unlucky not to get something out of the game. I'm sorry but Kean is insulting the fans who paid to watch that drivel, he's been insulting the fans since he said "now judge me". Well Kean, l'm judging you and l reckon you're an arrogant, self obsessed little ego-maniac who doesn't know the first thing about setting up a team to not lose first, and win second.

Christ, l'm so angry this moron is still in charge of our club. As for Samba hugging Ba, don't get me started !!!!

I'd write to the owners if l thought it'd make any difference. Lets just face it, we Rovers fans are getting shafted royally and it doesn't matter what we say or do, there's sod all we can do about it.

[Mercer]

Honestly I wouldn't be able to restrain myself if I was anywhere near the man right now. If it wasn't our club this was happening to it would be laughable.

Kean's a bigger disgrace than Ince and he's going nowhere.

Little by little my love of football is dying with this imposter in charge.

There are many of us who feel exactly the same. I believe that the club is now dying on its feet.

[chris]

does it really matter what Kean said or ince said or kidd said after a match, they all try and save face.

It's rare you here a post match interview when someone has a 20% win percentage and lost again and think, that was great.

I might just stop watching post match interviews

[daverich]

What worries me is that he has no backup plan when things are obviously not working, the guy is totally tactically devoid of any ideas!

Earlier today I was kind of hoping that we would draw the dingles in the cup, after watching the Newcastle game it's a massive relief that we didn't!

[beerwins]

Kean = relegation.

And you don't need to be Einstein to work that one out.

And there it is in all it's simplicity.

We dont address problems that keep occuring.

We are leaderless.

We have no shape or discipline.

We have no clue from set pieces.

We did'nt buy the right players over the summer to replace ones that left.

We have no heart or any players that play their tripe out to win.

Kean is too soft on the players and although they may like him they dont play for him because he has no air of authority.

Today was the worst sort of football desperation I have seen, we eventually get a goalscorer poacher in Yakubu and lump it long all day to him, im not sure he touched it first half, we seemed to employ a counter attack game but we lumped it all over and not out to the wingers.

And im frigging fuming that our best player STILL has'nt signed a contract it's absolutely pathetic and amatuer.

[Mercer]

It could be armageddon next week.

Dann, Salgado & Givet all injured with Olsson suspended.

Back four next week with rumours that Nelsen is nowhere near: Lowe, Samba, Nzonzi, Anderson.

[roverandout]

that will be kean's excuse when we get hammered.

[Drunx2002]

Back four next week with rumours that Nelsen is nowhere near: Lowe, Samba, Nzonzi, Anderson.

David Silva in a free role in front of that lot. This is the stuff of nightmares.

[MarkBRFC]

Hanley?

TBH, I'd rather this happened against City where we probably wouldve lost anyway, than against one of our relegation rivals where it'd make a difference to the result.

Maybe what will likely happen might make the owners sit up and take notice.

I mean they probably wouldn't, but we can only hope.

[Paul]

Ah good another Steve Kean masterclass. Still we should get three points against Pune ......oh they don't play in the PL. Silly me.

The only consolation I can find is the Arsenal victory means we have three more points than I expected at this point. Avoiding defeat in the remaining away games to end of October would put us in a better position than I expected.

[promoted2001]

Keans post match interviews are just embarrassing. He is a deluded individual and I believe this image sums up how I feel about anything he says:

[*foreverArover ---]

Try ringing newcastles ticket office (sorry I dont have the number), often we send our tickets back on a Saturday so they can be sold on the day.

Went to the box office in the end & yeah they had spares, cheers for the help! But to be honest wish I hadn't bothered going...
