[Archived] Cardiff City v Rovers League Cup quarter-final

[HemelRover]

There really is only 3 league places between us, you would never guess who was the prem team.

Very good point.

[adopted scouser]

Why are they saying on Sky it'a a cup 'upset' ?

[EWOODACE1]

im worried that with these subs we may pull this back

[Beta Ray Bill]

I felt before tonight that unlike Birmingham last season when their cup run ultimately affected their season, for us it wouldn't. Our league form is so bad that there's no way a cup run would hinder us.

The League Cup offered a glimmer of light in what is going to be the worst season for Rovers in my memory, if not ever.

Now even that glimmer is being extinguished.

Kean off, you keaning keanwit.

[beerwins]

Ey up were on to plan b now, we have ditched attack for all out attack as we bring on Rochina, Roberts and The Yak.

[trueblue]

Rovers fans turned hostile yet?

[Amo]

lol. We're so bad.

[2k.]

Why are they saying on Sky it'a a cup 'upset' ?

It's not an upset, even before we saw the team it was entirely predictable.

Ya, we're the 20th best team in England!!!!

[novella]

The thing is Kean really really wanted to win this game, so he has no excuses, so much for a cup run ey, ya bald BELLEND!

[Mattyblue]

'It's just long ball from Blackburn, no guile or invention, Cardiff are much the better footballing side'.

Think you've got your teams mixed up son, we don't do 'long ball'.

[DavidMailsTightPerm]

Cracking display by the lads tonight - you can clearly hear the "Kean Out" chants on radio lancs.

I wonder if Kean will do the decent thing.

My only hope is that the Carling Cup run had previously masked the poor run of Premiership results we were on. No matter how you spin it - we have been beaten by a Championship side - hopefully owners will understand this (but not holding from breath)

[Smithyster]

Well wasn't that a complete surprise.

Same rubbish, different day.

[sam_rovers]

Honestly, I'm not surprised by the result. Was expecting us to lose once I saw the line up. If he is finally sacked I will view the loss as a huge positive. A new manager, and no more distraction to try to get us out of the relegation zone. Staying in the PL has to be our priority and we know we won't be able to do that with this idiot in charge.

[Sysagent]

I am speechless... WHAT has happened to my team?

WHAT HAVE YOU DONE!

[jrabrfc]

Was this one of the six "winnable" games? I can't remember. Anyway, good performance from the lads. Gave the Cardiff keeper a night off, which is a lovely gesture.

And I still don't think they'll sack him.

[ebenrocks]

LOL. F**K KEAN'S LIFE!

[Andy]

Have we ever won a game with him playing?

It's a good question.

I'm sure he'll make it one day, as he does have some attributes, but he's so far from being a Premiership player right now and it's costing us points.

[Henrikv]

Speechless..

KEAN OUT!

[Kelbo]

Quote from Kean on Granda Reports tonight, we haven't failed to score in all our away matches this season

We have now, and we havent failed to concede in away games this season!!!

God, what a bloody numpty he is, he is quickly running out of positive stats!!

[beerwins]

All I want is all three of the owners to explain why Kean is employed at our football club, just one reason is all they need to give.

The only reason they could give would be cost of sacking him but they already said money is no problem.

New contract fully earned tonight :wacko:

[Tom]

I think we did well, Cardiff are in the top 2 teams in the country and we had players out and only conceded two, we can take positives from that.

Their keeper must have made 7 or 8 top saves and on another day we win that game comfortably.

[allanncd]

Wankys and Anderson must be the only persons on Earth who think that Kean is up to the job.

[DE.]

"we conceded 2 goals at Leyton Orient, and have only conceded 2 against a team a league higher... this is obvious progress, we'll take those positives and look to get it right at the top of the pitch. everyone can see what we're building towards, the majority are behind us. just yesterday I was in the village and somebody told me "watching Rovers is like watching Barcelona... but better", hopefully we can turn the 1% around. if not my 99% will beat the sh1t out of them."
