[Archived] Preview of Man City 1st Oct

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

Another post game Saturday afternoon and Rovers stand slumped against the ropes like a punch drunk prize fighter.

We ALL know where we are heading under Kean...onto the f'kin canvas of the Chumpionship.

Another post game Saturday afternoon and Rovers stand slumped against the ropes like a punch drunk prize fighter.

We ALL know where we are heading under Kean...onto the f'kin canvas of the Chumpionship.

And unlike the last time we were relegated, we won't come back.

Act now. Kean out!

[Veevs]

Less talented players have succeeded in the Prem. There's nothing wrong with the signings, it's the organisation.

We conceded four soft goals today against a Citeh team that didn't get out of second gear. This is the kind of game Hughes used to rally the troops for and battle for a point - despite the gulf in class.

Today the players' heads dropped after the first goal. It was a procession after that.

Contradicted yourself there a bit mate.. everything was wrong with his signings we signed not one single player with 1/4 of the passion etc of the likes of JJ, PJ, EHD, Emerton and co.. hell Andrews for all his sins showed more guts and passion than any of the lads we have signed.

[Neal]

The one with red writing?

Yep.

[Seggie]

I'm annoyed that public order has been hidden behind over the protest, I saw a guy getting rightfully very angry at the jw gates and I said to the fella is it worth it and we had a chat and our frustrations are exactly the same and he calmed down thankfully because he came accross as a nice guy. What I'm getting at Rovers fans who did protest did themselves proud today. Was glad to shake Glen Mullans hand as I was leaving, hope he thought I wasn't a nutjob haha

[rookie2009]

Yep.

Just curious,sky showed you at one stage at the riverside stand,and it seemed like another bloke wasnt best pleased with you for having a banner,it seemed to me like he was insulting you for having it which if true is bad form...

[chris]

Yep.

awesome, yeah your banner is everywhere, you'll probably be able to sell it on ebay make a packet

See if you can get Kean to sign it?

[Myles Anderson]

More nonsense from captain Baldrick

I hope this game was watched live in India and not a recording

I can't watch this, I saw the first 30 seconds and makes me too angry. My god I hate this drink driving imposter!

[Tom]

I thought him only making one sub today was almost a sign of Kean being resigned to it all, his post match interview suggests not.

[percy]

At least my banner got some TV time. Well done to those who protested.

Well done, loads of people talking about- let's hope the owners saw plenty of it!

Indeed. 3-0 down, where was the harm in bringing a sub on, not like we had anything more to lose!!!!!

[BRFC1995]

trip to india could be a blessing.................if we lose to the indians, one game i definitely would'nt give 2 ***** about losing

that would be priceless with the entire rao entourage watching

[AllRoverAsia]

Yep.

Well done - it looked great on TV

[mogster]

We settled for nil very early on.

Once plan A failed we..........

Nope nothing.

[trueblue]

I would love to know what makes this idiot so unsackable in the Rao's eyes!

[chris]

4-0 was just enough to make it embarrassing, I wanted to win, but once I knew we wouldn't I though, a few goals could embarrass Kean enough for a sacking.

[K-Hod]

We settled for nil very early on.

Once plan A failed we..........

Nope nothing.

Oh yeah I agree. So frustrating. Could easily have been 0-3 at half time....

Mrs D obviously derives much pleasure from Keans fork tongue.

[Neal]

Ha! No! He was saying my banner should read "Venkys Out" and I just said that we need our ownership to work and that Kean is responsible for results. He understood my point. Think he was a bit wound up in generally but said well done for the banner.

Those who protested today should be very proud. We did it properly and got a strong point across. I'm currently sat in the blues bar with a hard earned pint.

[Mike Graham]

Very strange atmosphere in the ground today, saw quite a few people close to fisticuffs, Abbey looked ready to explode at one point.

Yes, it was sad to see stewards and a Rovers fan fighting in the Jack Walker Upper when the fan was demonstrating.

Over zealous stewarding today by Rovers Head of security post match....uncalled for.

[Dan]

At least my banner got some TV time. Well done to those who protested.

Does your mum know that you've pinched her table cloth? She's going to go mad! ;-)

Don't be silly - Formica was running his blood to water when he came on.

It's up to the manager to motivate his players. It helps when he doesn't play them out of position - like Goodwillie on the right wing. Hughes was excellent at instilling a team spirit and belief into his players. Kean clearly isn't.
