Are you IrishRover? Good for you. It's time people used the media just like Agnew and Kean do. Tell the truth, bombard the people who make up lies about Rovers fans. Start with Fletcher and Savage on 5live. I have. DON'T GIVE UP!!!!!

That's me.

From the Guardian:

Rovers fans have been against kean from the start. I remember going to Blackburn vs City in April last year and there was a protest outside the stadium afterwards after losing to a team 4th in the league 1-0! He'd only been in the job months.

I've been to four rovers matches in the last year. And at three of them, there have been protests. The other one was opening day of the season. Not sure there should be any medals for that restraint there.

When Liverpool scored their third on tuesday there was a palpable feeling that rovers had just resigned to getting out their bed sheets and customised t-shirts once again.

This atmosphere must clearly rub off on the players. If you want an example of when it would been detrimental then I can't think of a better one then the Bolton match at Ewood in December. Booed off at half time, I genuinely worried for kean seeing being subjected the all the abuse.

He is not a good manager but is in terrible circumstances which have not been eased, rather worsened, by the fans. I sympathise with the fans but I do think there has been a not small number of fans that have been far from constructive and from November have seemingly relished a loss as it may result in the loss of kean's job.

The reason there have been these sympathy articles are probably because the images of fully grown men eyeballing him spitting venom from their mouth at another human being are indelible. While this is a minority they probably feel legitimised by the constant protests. Which has taken different shapes see plane flying over head etc.

Don't expect apologies from the guardian it was only natural to try and sympathise with a man in the circumstances he's in. Like or lump it he hasn't left your club when no one would have blamed him for it so you're both in the same boat really.

Is the bit in bold true?

The ignorance of all but the Rovers fans on there is staggering. They just don't get that if he really had the dignity they all talk about he'd have walked away with his head held high, saying that the situation made it impossible for him to do his job. the fact that he didn't tells you all you need to know about the man. And I spent most of 606 screaming at the radio while Savage and Fletcher peddled the same garbage on there too.

First protest wae against Arsenal at home this season wasn't it?

Yes, but don't surprised. Journos get paid to make things up.

They call it "poetic license" because "lying illegitimates" doesn't sounds as... poetic.

I was on the M65 ,when I heard him , cannot help thinking a certain PR man may have been behind that call,,,

tweet from John Cross a Mirror journalist to Andy Cryer and Marin Blackburn of the Sun: You boys deserve medals for covering that chaos with a press officer being deliberately obstructive

Agnew must be a real charmer.

Fair enough, chaddy.

Wait...

Wasn't your post meant to convey that it has been remarkable in that he is still in a job and hasn't walked, which nobody would have blamed him for doing if he has really been hung out to dry by the owners as 606 were suggesting rather than being involved in every bad thing that has been done to the club over the last 18 months? I think what kean has done is truly remarkable - he's somehow managed to come out of all this smelling of roses instead of what he should smell of, bearing in mind the amount of it he spouts!

I was being somewhat ironic, yes. I'm sure Rodgers was giving his obligatory pity vote to Kean (a common trait when you're the losing manager week in, week out). But yeah, literally, you can't disagree that Kean has handled this remarkably. He hasn't cracked under the pressure at all and doesn't give a toss that he provokes the fans with his smarmy comments. In fact, thanks to his PR cronies, he's managed to turn the footballing world against us (not too difficult, one might add) and portray himself as the victim of this plight.

Forget about PR , Kean should be judged on his results ...

Played 55 Won 12 lost 28 goals against 105 ..

He was organising pictures for mascots 3yrs ago, now he's found himself as Keans media bitch, so he needs to protect his own interest, hence the attack on his own supporters. The mans a parasite in my opinion, and when the dust settles and Kean and Venkys are long gone, we’ll not forget the part this idiot played in smearing us fans.

He often slagged Rovers fans off in the Lancs Evening Post in the 80's. He's a nobber.
