[Archived] Preview of Burnley game. [H] 17th March.

[G Somerset Rover]

Appleton can Kean off if he buggers this one up today. Just how on earth he got the position in the first place baffles me. Crap tactics, clueless. Just another bald imposter. I don't reckon that chump Judan Ali would have done much worse, and that's saying something.

[adopted scouser]

Well done Venkys, club destroyed you bunch of @#/?.

That primate Appleton can @#/? off

[adsfortheblues]

Appleton - no tactical abilities, can't change games with subs etc. Blackpool fans wanted him out for goodness sake

[Ricky]

How come you haven't gone Rick?

I just can't get excited about it at the moment. I couldn't face 7 hours in the car leaving at stupid o'clock.

Took my little girl swimming instead, had a lovely time and it made me smile, something that Rovers haven't done in a long time.

I'm running a Saturday football team next season so that'll probably be about it for Ewood trips for me.

[broadsword]

League 1 has to be a real possibility now.

Can't score, can't keep a clean sheet. No organisation, no tactics, no desire, no clue. Good night and good luck.

[M-K]

Shame this game wasn't later in the season, so the dingles could relegate us. That would be a more fitting conclusion to the Venky's reign.

Thanks, Walker Trust, thanks Jerome Anderson. Thanks a lot you @#/? @#/?.

Get a couple of wins under your belt and you'll be offered a season ticket in the manager's box.

[adopted scouser]

Steve Kean must be smiling, Appleton is making him look like Mourinho

[Ricky]

Couple of 0-0 draws is usually enough to land that gig isn't it Batman?

[lowerdarwenblue]

Just off out now for Sunday lunch with the family. That's a much better use of a Sunday than hand over any more of my hard earned cash to the chicken farmers.

[Mike Graham]

Any sign f the chicken loons at the game?

[G Somerset Rover]

Yes our squad is vastly overrated, yes we have a shed load of injuries. But hoofball to strikers who can barely head a ball? One game scored in out of the last seven and a half? Now suspect at the back too. He hasn't got a leg to stand on.

[philipl]

Hell this is depressing.

Last vestige of pride in our club being ripped out of us.

All for a betting scam.

Yeah I know what you mean - I was offered a ticket by a couple of different people but I just couldn't justify all the driving for a game that if we lost I'd be annoyed and if we won I wouldn't actually care that much.

[G Somerset Rover]

Phillip, your trying to tell us that our whole squad is in on a massive betting scam? Pull the other one. How about we're utter @#/? and Appleton hasn't got a bloody clue?

[broadsword]

I'm beginning to wonder if appleton had a punt on us when we were 66/1 to go down.

No ascribe to corruption what could adequately be explained by stupidity. In that case, Appleton must be pig @#/? thick.

[m1st]

In every department of the game Rovers are being outplayed. I paraphrase Radio 5 Sports Extra.

[Batman.]

That's a new one Phil- go on, elaborate. We could all do with a laugh,

[USABlue]

We lose this I think I'll be done for the season.

Appleton has a bloody clue.

He knows exactly what he is doing.

With all the modern technology in the game now for assessing player and team performance e.g. ProZone you would think that Appleton would be fully aware that a hoofball strategy hasn't been working.

[m1st]

That's a new one Phil- go on, elaborate. We could all do with a laugh,

Oh, Batman, please don't. As soon as I saw Philip's post, I prayed that we'd all ignore it.

[BRFC1995]

fancy p'boro and barnsley to get better results than us on the run in and wolves i can't for the life of me see going down even handicapped by saunders

brothers tranmere fan fingers crossed they ain't going up....football with out talent just is'nt a sport, what the hell has this club become

[T4E]

Appleton has a bloody clue.

He knows exactly what he is doing.

Wow. Hope you have proof. Or a good solicitor.

[Ricky]

I was tempted to bite but thought I'd try to ignore it.

You really don't help yourself Phil. So now your claim is that Appleton is intentionally losing... lol
