[Archived] Wigan Athletic v Blackburn Rovers-Match Preview

[Neal]

Neal, was the assault verbal or physical?

Physical.

[ruggles1995]

Dunn & Grella were both spotted having a beer in the local pub at Brockhall this week, too. Glad to see Dave's keeping in shape.

not really anything wrong with that, not like they were crawling ou the pub. Nice to see them going out in the local I say.

[Fife Rover]

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 ?

Yes.

[Neal]

I dont dispute any of what you said. What happened was beyond contempt.

I just dont want to get the site involved.

Yes of course. I just wanted people to know as most of the posters on here are true fans.

I also didn't want Glen to miss the opportunity to give this cretin what he deserves.

On the assault, It was the person who has threatened exstreme violence to Simon and I, plus our children, but hey i'd rather get a crack from one idiot than have hundreds fighting in the stands.

We are all rovers supporters and I will not lower myself to react to one who over stepped the mark, I'm pretty sure he regrets what he did, and will be worried about reprecussions, 5 years ago I would of reacted, but I have a wife and children to worry about, and he aint worth it.

It's just a scratch and we move on, I have not pressed charges (Did not want to miss game) Rovers plight far more important and regardless of protest stance, we a;; want the same thing for rovers, which is a club wth a bright future,

Got a few players to sign my shirt too, which was nice COYB

[Neal]

Deflated but proud of our supporters today, Big away following, backed the team, gave Venkys and Kean their opinion at the right time, and met some wonderful supporters from both this site and other social networks,

We have some real top supporters and lovely people and I'm proud to be part of the same supporters.

I felt the goals we let in was weak, and our defensive frailties were there for all to see against a team who previously couldnt find the net, But credit were crdits due we scraped a draw with 10 men, and a few of the players had good games.

We get a decent manager and we will win games, I'm certain

It was a pleasure to sing shoulder to shoulder with you today Glen.

Top bloke.

[Bluefudge]

Yes.

Enlighten me.

[beerwins]

Yes.

One great pass all game does not justify his position in a relegation derby scrap, he should not have started today, Hoilett should be played just off the striker every day of the week and twice on sundays, why you play our most dangerous player out on the wing and have him tracking back to help out defence is criminal, he should have a free role.

Rochina is a luxury player and we dont need those in a relegation scrap, we need fighters and winners, we lack both.

[liam]

Who would possibly know that the name came from this site??

2 of us noticed it then Beerwins ;-)

[arbitro]

I'm not sure if it's been reported on here yet but Rovers only turned up at the ground at 14.10 today. Exchange of team sheets should be an hour before kick off so a heavy fine looms for that (unless somebody ran ahead with them to make the 14.00 deadline). I heard they stayed overnight at Haydock Island but somebody should have done their homework as Haydock races were on today. Sadly I can't blame the imposter for this but it seems that somebody will carry the can for this massive oversight. The silver lining though was that it gave me an opportunity to shout at the imposter telling him to resign. Impossible I know but it made me feel better. Preparation has to be affected in such circumstances.

Dunn was a disgrace today and fully deserved to be sent off. His first caution was so stupid and I actually said at the time that this could come back and bite us. Totally and utterly reckless and selfish. Blue and white my a*rse.

What really annoyed me today was that only one player came to the fans at the end of the game. Take a bow Robbo, your passion at the end of the game is something I will feed off in the next few weeks. My feeling was that the lack of gratitude and acknowledgement by the players to us was a show of solidarity by the players because we were chanting Kean and Venkys out. If that is the case then they can all f**k off.

Just heard that the imposter shepherded the players off and indicated to them not to come over to us. I personally didn't see this but the person I just spoke to was adamant this was the case. If it's true the damage is irreparable.

[ruggles1995]

Can any1 confirm if the Venk's came out for the 2nd half? Jeff Stelling said that they had not come back out half way through the 2nd half..... Could they of been having a meeting about maybe even sacking kean if we were to loose????? or is it just wishful thinking on my behalf?

He was talking about Rochina. I suppose we can try it your way but i'm not sure it will improve his game.

[roverandout]

If they did say that it was probably so they could get out of the ground alive

If he did this then, IMO, it's even worse that the players chose his side over the fans. Hoping it didn't happen.

That'll be that for the season with Grella, liftinga whole pint glass on his own ? Sounds like hernia in the making to me.

Just repeating what a couple of fans said who had tickets near them, not sure why we had fans near them though as we had a few left in away end

[Waggy76]

Time to go Kean , the longer you stay the deeper the hole you dig for yourself !

As they were leaving they allegedly said "they would do the right things" and "the fans would be happy"

[Neal]

I have just received this txt:

"Just got this off my Mate who is in box at Wigan, he's not a bullshitter either....'Just seen the venkys they wer leaving at halftime. Some1 told them to sack kean they said 'we will do what needs to be done, everybody will happy' I reckon he's going".

Make of it what you will.
