[Archived] Next protest

[alexanders]

If what KAMY says is right, but protest should be aimed at Mrs Desai ...

[jim mk2]

When are you going ti wake up. Black & yellow same colour is the away kit.

During the match supporters should be getting behind the team.

If somebody protests, when it is still 00 or rovers are winning, when sat nest to.me. I tell you the consequences for that person will be dire.

Your METHODS of protest are wrong. Reasons understandable. But rovers need 3pts on Saturday. That is essential for the club as a whole.

I HAVE SINCE GIVEN UNRESERVED APPOLOGIES FOR THIS POST.

Glen all you have achieved is turn supporter against supporter. That is dire for the club.

Mr Silly is wearing his silly hat again.

If you were at Cardiff on Tuesday you would know that supporters are not against supporters but united in their desperation to see the back of this manager and these owners.

i suggest you attend a few matches to gauge the true feelings of supporters and the town before pontificating from your south coast nursery home.

There will be many supporters who do not come onto this messageboard, who may support the protests, understand the reasons, agree with the reasons. But for 90 minutes are willing to put the team first. Only about 1000 supporters visit this site, and know the ins and outs of the protests. But there are many who do not come on to this site and may not take kindly to protests whilst the is team is either drawing or winning. That is when fans could turn on each other.

I do though accept that my saying dire consequencies for those protesting next to me was wrong. For that I do appologies - especially to Glen.

But there are many who have simular feeling who are willing for 90 minutes to get behind the team.Because they know how essential a win is. We know the manager cannot encourage this team, that is why supporters have to do it.

Most of us want Kean out. But whoever does replace him needs a fighting chance to keep this club up in the prem. Which is why results on the pitch are essential.

I am not anti-protests - apart from for 90 minutes. Protest before the match, even half time and after the match. Some on here have said the players know we are on their side. Well for 90 minutes show them that is the case. Ok if the team are playing badly and rovers are losing, then the protests are going to take their natural course. But at least give the players a chance first. But there are many who will be opposed to in match protests whilst there is a good chance the team can win. I do not even think the players are playing for Kean. But they are instead playing for the supporters.

Again unreserved appologies to Glen and others who were offended my earlier post.

There is no point protesting only before or after the game. There is nobody there who matters to hear. The manager is long gone into the comfort of the JW. And sometimes folks have other places to go after the match, prearranged events which they have to attend. We can't all get there early or stay after. Protests may affect the team but so is Kean every minute he pollutes Brockhall and Ewood with his presence, every time he opens his mouth in an interview. To be honest I don't think you'll find fan against fan any more. we ALL want rid. I haven't met or heard one person in Blackburn, the Ribble valley, or anywhere else in the immediate area, even those who have ittle interest in football, who don't want rid of Kean, venkys, and if they knew about them they'd want rid of Anderson, Agnew and any other Kean apologist at the club. Even Burnley fans are sorry for us. Man Utd fans come up to us to commiserate with us. City fans, Liverpool fans, Arsenal fans are all approaching me at school saying they can't understand why we are stuck with this pathetic excuse for a manager. It's not the same having banter with your opponents when they can't give anything back, and at the moment we can't. How we get rid of Kean is irrelevant now - we just have to get rid and then worry about picking up the pieces afterwards.

LOL at the puppet masters remark.

They pay me to jump through hoops.

You do it for free. And on your own time.

I may be a puppet but at least I'm getting paid by the hour for it.

I hope you get potted when your big mate Keano goes. I would like to imagine you both "doing a thelma and louise" off a big cliff somewhere. You'd be driving of course

I have no real interest as to who or where you post from or infact your intentions on this messageboard but I will help you in matters of etiquette, as a guest on here as the rest of us are you should try to use a bit of common sense and understand that your employers have ripped the heart from 20,000 people at least and well lets say they wont be recieving many a Christmas Card from Rovers fans this year, you may sit there and say well who cares? Well I will tell you who cares.

There is Brownie for one, A guy who runs an establishment that thrives on Rovers support because of our continued success in the premier league.

Then maybe the hot dog vendor, who sits outside Ewood in the cold and rain trying to make a living of the thousands of people who visit Ewood park every other week.

I suppose the same could be said for every scarf, hat, badge and shirt vendor that are there every other week working very hard to make a living from something that could so easily be taken away from us in a heartbeat from every millionaire that decides that they want a new toy to play with.

In fact the Town on whole profits in every way, people who dont even realise it benefit from having a team in the Premiership ( and may I just mention that it is a huge Pakistani and Indian Population too) Everybody has something to lose and gain from Blackburn Rovers success.

A lot of people will say that the club is more than just a hobby, it's more like their passion and to most that would be true but to the others it could well be a whole lot more, it could be their jobs, their wives, their family, their homes.

So forgive my bluntness but if you want to come on here and try to be smug that you earn a living from the very people that could see our neighbours, our friends, the very same people we see every other week working hard to earn a wage lose their jobs then I would'nt expect a warm welcome, infact I would go as far as to say GTFO and tell your boss to go buy a train set.

I was'nt going to go tommorow as I really dont want to give your idiot bosses any more of my money but seeing as my ticket is paid already you convinced me to go and show my displeasure at their ownership.

This is real life.......not Subbuteo.

There was a businessman Anthony Duckworth interviewed on BBC Lancashire.He came over very well and couldnt stress enough the importance of Rovers in the prem and how it helps business from abroad in many ways.

Do they have to be conscious when they "drive" off the cliff?

They could be tied up and gagged in the boot for all i care with the ghost of Jack driving them off...nice!

KEAN,AGNEW & VENKY'S OUT!!!!!

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

I hate to say this PAFELL but it looks like your arse goes when push comes to shove,we need men and women of fine moral fibre at Ewood today...anyone shouting down protestors today should be treated with utter comtempt imo.

I + your post by mistake as well.

You spoke the truth there. YOU DON'T CARE. Yellow & black us the away kit.

In a previous life were you on the Titanic? Head in the sand when it was sinking kinda thing?

If/when we go down narrow minded "supporters" like yourself will probably blame the protesters and not the ###### manager or our numpty owners.

Having already said sorry for my post. Why would I want to. Just happy Rovers won today and got 3pts.

[imy9]

I honestly feel that the protests serve little purpose in their current form. Kean is managing to turn it into a US (majority of fans not protesting) vs THEM (people who are protesting) which is what I expect from Kean. Glen has done a magnificent job but I feel people need to take a step back and reassess the next step.

On the subject of Kean I hope he is still sacked on Monday.

[trueblue]

It's obvious that protesting for Kean's removal is falling on deaf ears.. the focus needs to turn totally on the owners - THEY put him in that position, THEY are the ones bringing the club down!

Getting rid of the owners would by default get rid of Kean.

VENKY'S OUT!!

The end protest mattered not. The Chanting during the game was plenty loud enough to get the point across.

Around 1500 stayed for 20 minutes and then it fizzles out to around 500, im sure it will be on youtube before end of the the weekend, but for the those who went home after 1 win............................. No comment,

Thankfully enough hung around, I just wish 26000 supporters were a fly on the wall in the meetings we had, when revelations and facts are discussed, I dont have much more to say on the matter apart from the ones who have fought for the clubs future can hold their heads up high 12 months from now. I just wish that more had took rovers future serously, but 12 months from now they won't be able to point the finger as they allowed it to happen.

For those who care and have fight in them, the fight goes on

Well said.

Had a fallout with a bloke sat behind me for my anti-kean stance,got very heated until I realised the bloke was thick as pig ######. His argument was its not Kean's fault that the players are no good.

There seem to be a few of that opinion.

I bet they weren't very good at dot-to-dot as kids.

perhaps it's not but it's his fault they don't look fully fit; it's his fault they sit back and defend at 3-1 inviting the pressure that led to the Swansea goal. it's his fault he antagonises fans so that the atmosphere at Ewood is so weird it's almost surreal nowadays. It's his fault that the pleasure of winning is diminished by the unpleasant atmosphere he has fostered around the club. The guy behind me who has sat behind me for all the time I've had my season ticket almost thumped a young steward today because the steward had been sent by his superior to stand at the front of the family stand 5 minutes before the end of the match, obstucting the view of this guy and his family/friends. As the guy pointed ou, we've been sitting there for 10 years and never caused any bother. what made people think today would be different? I felt sorry for the young lad who had been placed in a difficult situation but this is what Venkys and kean have turned our club into-a place where we don't feel comfortable with one another, and where we can't just get on and enjoy the feeling of 3 points won.
