The longer Kean stays ,the more protests there will be and more vociferous they will be .. His position is more or less unteneable now, he had no where to turn or anyone to turn too. He is a dead man walking . but a word of caution ,who will be his successor with our owners ??

Exactly, angst is aimed at Kean but we need to focus on the root cause: Venkys

Cant believe people trying to play down the numbers who stopped behind today(Press, Radio ect), I can tell you it was not 100 or 200-300, Try 1200-1500 for first 15-20 minutes then the crowd got smaller, and around 500 saw it through until the end.

This was a massive statement.

For 70 minutes you could hear a pin drop within the home section, never known it this quiet in 30 Years I have been going, once the third goal went in, then the crowd turned on the Manager.

By this time, the usual suspects were heading for the exits, but just pleased that others chose to stay and vent their frustration because this is the only way this Manager is going to go.

As much as I agree with your help with the protest the other week, I completely disagree woth you moving fans on from the stand. Sadly that helped the police single fans out and split the group up and allow them to move us on. If fans had of stayed in the stand kean would have had no where to hide and would of had to confront fans head on.

*note, above views are mine personally and not in anyway linked to brfcs owners/back room staff in any way (dispite me being a mod)

Any arguements posted will NOT be dealt with by myself*

The reason they had to be moved on is,

a) Everyone with a ticket is allowed to stay in an event until the event organisor, I.e in todays case (Blackburn Rovers football club) deems their presence no longer valid. With this the club was happy for people to remain in their place for 20-30 minutes, but then wanted everyone to leave.

B) When you are asked to leave and refuse to, you then become a trespasser as its private property, Your human rights then don't come into play and you are committing a public order offence.

c) I'm not a football hooligan and had no wish to break the law, and if we had not left then we would of been on public order offences and risk future attendance within Ewood Park. Would you want that? Our voice had been heard and we had made our point. The Police took me to one side and told me as my name was attached to the protest I had to request fans to exit (which I did, No-one had to listen to me, but by doing what I was asked I covered myself from being accountable).

d) If we act unreasonable there is not a cat in hopes chance of the club discussing issues with fans.

e) We was in ground for around 40 minutes, During this time the players and much of the coaching staff was exiting the ground via the Blackburn end Entrance.

I think it went really well, and i think most would agree, last thing we need is trouble being attached to a protest.

I'd agree with those figures. There were people in each stand staying behind.

How about all those with driving licenses wave them about next game, as well as the 'Kean Out' signs? OK, that was not an entirely serious suggestion, but good work for those who stayed on. It got picked up by the media, so even the chicken choking clods who mismanage the club can't pretend there isn't a problem.

Keep it up people, I for one are proud of those who made a stand.

Well said mate. It needs to count for something. I just hope that there are more banners if Kean is in charge of the next game.

I think we need a new manager but I was genuinely uncomfortable today and regardless of his abilities I felt sorry for another human being the focus 10,000+ people chanting for his head. I don't know what that makes me but I'm sure you'll all tell me.

I can understand your feelings but I think its only going to get a damn sight worse! :unsure:
