[Archived] Wigan Athletic v Blackburn Rovers-Match Preview

[Mercer]

A feckin shambles.

We have to cheat with an illegal goal to get a point against the bottom side who had just lost 8 on the bounce.

Kean, IMO, you are one very, very lucky joker. Bevermind, the 'villagers' will be happy.

[AggyBlue]

Back home already.

Three more conceded.

Kean Out.

[RibbleValleyRover]

We are almost certainly going down as there is no chance Venky's will sack him after he gained a point. Rovers have never won two games or more in a row under Kean and that won't change, not with our defence.

Might as well prepare for the Championship now.

In the great scheme of things this leaves us as we were......

Am I the only person who thinks Rochina brings nothing to the game ?

[roverandout]

that euqaliser has saved kean his job, asswipe.

[2k.]

Battered by a very poor Wigan side, how lucky were we to get a point. It simply isn't good enough, how can we be this poor?

here are the match stats that i've copied from the bbc website

Possession

* Wigan 55%

* Blackburn 45%

Attempts on target

* Wigan 11

* Blackburn 2

Attempts off target

* Wigan 10

* Blackburn 4

Corners

* Wigan 7

* Blackburn 3

Fouls

* Wigan 14

* Blackburn 13

If that isn't relegation form I don't know what is. Kean has to go, but will venkys do it?

After watching the game live on tv I've just see highlights. The Ref turned down a good Wigan penalty shout for a foul on Moses by MGP in the first half, missed the cheat by MGP on the corner and found 6 mins extra time in the 2nd half. Rovers equaliser came in the 99th minute - just heard that on tv. Wigan had 20+ shots compared to Rovers 6 odd but somehow we shaded possession - thats from the tv not BBC.

We end up with 1 point and Kean still has a job.

That is absolutely insane

Well, it's tough titties as far as I'm concerned and I don't give a flying fook because we've been on the wrong end of loads of bad decisions ourselves. Let the referee take the flak because it is his responsibility to apply the rules of the game.

[yoda]

cocco is going to say, we are only 7 points off 10th place nothing to worry about

In real time it looks like Yak touches the ball, the ref didnt thing otherwise, neither did wigan

[AggyBlue]

Where's Lowe? Not even on the bench.....what kind of thinking is that?

He was in the seat in front of me

[RibbleValleyRover]

dude, it's only cheating if you get caught!!

Take off the blue and white tinted specs, if that had happened against us we would be going mental. The players know the rules when it comes to corners and it was a disgraceful bit of play.

Wigan have every right to feel aggrieved.

[rovgers]

dude, it's only cheating if you get caught!!

I thought it was only cheating when the other side does it!

[beerwins]

The corner was just a piece of good thinking from Peds, thew ref was'nt watching and neither was half of the Wigan team, if the ref allowed play to go on then tough titties, the Wigan players should have been more alert anyway.

People like you get right in my t.... breasticles. If you don't want to support our team, then feck off!

[joey_big_nose]

We were absolutely shocking all game today. Only positive was that Yakubu looked fitter and sharp. Everyone else was poor. I have give Kean credit for a run of four games where we have looked very good but now back to being incredibly poor.

Can't believe we got a point. We were unlucky in recent games but so so incredibly lucky today. Hoilett's goal was an utter joke!

Kean has to be sacked immediately. I just hope Venkys have identified someone and they can start work on Monday.

[AllRoverAsia]

It was wonderful to see Kean's delicate passing game get us the goals today.

Robbos delicate punt upfield, a couple of delightful headers and Yaks actually good end flick.

Yaks deft touch with I think his index finger followed by what will become MGPs legendary corner cheat.

Finally from a legal corner Robbos head flick onto a Wigan boot.

Apart from the other team into it...

OOOh, he's just used the "m" word again on Sky Sports!

As far as I am concerned yes you are. Unfortunately Coco plays him out of position on the wing.

[Andy]

And people like you get right on mine.

Take the blinkers off and see the reality.

Ped's crafty moment makes up for the Everton ending, at least from a refereeing standpoint.
