[Archived] Sunderland vs Rovers

[slough_rover]

I hate being a Rovers fan this year...

[tsaren]

nothing to say,

nothing to do,

we are done!

rip brfc

[mode_m]

waste of time.

[DeadlyDirk]

Well we were completely dominated in this game and ended up rightfully on the losing side, we just happened to score first.

Oh how it could have been different if we didn't decide to play like we were down to 7 men against the champions for the majority of the second half.

[BRFC1995]

kean u inept tw@t get out of our club......2nd half all your sodding fault. Sod the subs just change the formation.......worst 2nd half i have ever watched and its not a top club we are playing.................YOU ARE A BORN LOSER GO RIGHT NOW

[S60tti_BRFC]

Another injury. (Lowe)

4 injuries in one game.

This season just keeps getting better and better.

WHY THE ###### HELL HAS KEAN TOLD THEM TO SIT BACK AND DEFEND FOR ALL THE MATCH

(Please don't use that word again) OFF KEAN !!!

[Teacup]

In before - Kean: "We kept a clean sheet for 83 minutes."

[Wing Wizard Windy Miller]

Lets be honest here

We've been battered by a team that resembled a reserve team.

Forget the subs, our game plan was to sit back all half...AGAIN

whoops I missed off the "g" awful

Kean out

[Plastic Head]

The fight goes on, not to stay in the Premier League that is irrelevant, but to save the club for future fans and rid ourselves of the Indian devils.

Tactical naivety of the highest order - we've conceded at least two nearly every game, so we try and sit back with 11 men behind the ball for 45 mins and defend a 1-0 lead?!?

Kean, you're a cock.

[Stuart]

Brutal. That was not a fee kick

Of course it was!

Kean should take full responsibility for today's result. His "tactics" have cost us this game. But he won't, like you John, he will look for excuses. My guess is he will blame the injuries.

This charlatan of a manager has cost us our 11 year PL status.

[Uxbridge rover]

Inept pathetic excuse of a manager and even worse owners.

[bigbrandjohn]

Givet, Olsson, Salgado, Lowe all off let me just work out what the options were today. I am gutted but hero performances from Robbo, Samba, Formica. and Dunn.

[jones_rover]

I don't know how me managed to lose that after the new attacking brand of football that Kean has promised and delivered in that second half.

[Tugay-is-God]

Kean looks close to tears.

"SACKED IN THE MORNING"

Please don't wait that long

[DE.]

That second half was one of the most disgusting halfs of football I've ever witnessed from a Blackburn Rovers team. Absolutely furious. We do not belong in the Premier League with Kean in charge, simple as that. The 319 or so that travelled to watch us play should have known better. Feel sorry for them in a way, but by now you should know what to expect from Blackburn Rovers with Steve Kean in charge. Humiliation and capitulation. That second half was two fingers to every fan that came to watch the team play today, because we didn't come out to play football in the second half.

One thing I will add, Walton was horrific today. Couldn't ref a sunday league game let alone a premier league match.

We are down. Hopefully we'll try and compete a little more in the Championship, or when Reading come to visit will we go 1-0 up and then just sit back and give up attacking like we did today?

[S60tti_BRFC]

Kean will blame injuries.

DIE VENKYS DIE

[K-Hod]

Rubbish. We asked for that, deserved to lose. Kean is an imbecile and needs to cease being our manager/breathing ASAP. He must know he's out of his depth but hasn't got the mettle/class or dignity to resign. Useless, drink-driving, imposter.

[booth]

Givet, Olsson, Salgado, Lowe all off let me just work out what the options were today.

Lowe wasn't till last few minutes. Salgado and Olsson should never have played, they weren't fit.

Options? That should have been sorted out in the Summer.

Sorry you're making excuses. Never mind everything else we were absolutely abysmal today. Sunderland deserved to win.

from BBC website:

Pat Nevin on BBC Five Live at the Stadium of Light: "Blackburn's tactics were ultra-negative and it was a certainty something would happen. Martin O'Neill bringing on McLean was a big change."
