[Archived] Twitter Trending - Protests

[LewisF]

He's pretty dumb, and if you look at his tweets you will find racism, sexism and homophobic views aplenty.

yep. Calls us racist for wants venkys out, threatens to go to a R&TM gig and break Jon's jaw, and then calls someone a 'gay boy'. Despite his views on us being racist, he is just that, and a lot more.

Horrible person. The fact that other people actually agree with what he says is most disturbing

There's one where he says the neighbours complained because he was playing FIFA too loudly and they had a baby sleeping. He told them to get lost.

A real human being.

The headline 'Venky's out gathers pace despite Owen Coyle appointment'. It's like they've been asleep for 6 years!

Did football fans ever have principals? In my mind they did, but now im wondering if i just imagined it.

(P.s. obviously im refering to those fans that are just ignoring the fundamental underlying issue that was proven yesterday with this appointment of coyle)

Same bloke who says he likes drugs on his profile. A complete sad example of the kind of young mixed race people that inhabit the big smoke. Mouth off in every direction but as soon as something comes back or they see something they don't like they play the race card.

Absolute scum and it's more people of his ilk that actually fuel racism than any shaven headed bonehead. I'd love to meet this twit outside a gig, unless he had his boys with him he'd be on his toes faster than Bolt !

Brilliant stuff. Well done J*B!

Such a shame to see fans like you being referred to as "former season ticket holder". We need fans like you on side, sadly, Venkys and their advisors don't.

The club declined to comment - how telling that is.

Depends what school they went to.

[Rover_Shaun]

Well done J*B. Have you thought of a #venkysout facebook page too?

Reading the comments it didn't take long for............

I've had enough of the #Venkys out #Coyle out brigade, he is the clubs manager, now let's hear what his plans are reading the all of the out of contract players and if he'll have any funds to improve the squad and any news regarding Graham. All you fans who want out are killing the club, you don't want Venkys and Coyle fair enough, but this is your club you should just think about that. It's not about the owners or manager or players it's about the people of Blackburn and Blackburn as a town that you'll kill, because if Venkys go they'll be no club left.I'

I'm getting angry now at the stupidity of the Blackburn public. We are so far past that point it's in a diffent galaxy. Kumbaya hasn't worked and will never work

Great interview. j*b represents himself and the likeminded with intellect and dignity

Do gooding dick trying to make himself popular no doubt. The club is nothing more than a franchise of an Indian corporation and it's never been as far removed away from the town and Blackburn public as it is now. It isn't than fans who've strangled the club to death, just where do these types get off with this tripe. I suppose he's another far flung fan who signed off with 'if I lived up there I'd be there every game'...

About time some wised up with comments like that, makes no difference if there is 7k there next season or 17k. They'll just continue to strangle the life out of it until it eventually goes bang. Only way is an almost empty stadium, starve the pigs out.

time for #venkysout tweets again? I do it every day but is it not time to take over twitter again?

Currently takes 300 tweets to trend in the UK - so theres a chance, problem is people are at work and haven't been told in advance.

18:15 - 19:00 looks good TV wise - not much on there to take over the trends.

As long as Vardy doesn't join Arsenal today the trends should be pretty OK to break.

[ABBEY]

Ok let's hammer it after 6 again

[Norbert Rassragr]

[AllRoverAsia]

Twitter is obsolete. Google it FFS

[ABBEY]

we need another go at this

[Ben-2000]

I agree. It should be a monthly thing at the very least.

Same day of each month from a certain time in the day

[Gav]

we need another go at this

I don't disagree, but with Coyle now in post and a couple of signings imminent you can already feel a thawing of relations, even on here.

It'll be interesting to see the uptake next time around, i bet its nowhere near the levels of last time sadly

[ABBEY]

its thawed on here big time with those saying they boycotting now not and excitement mounting over the feeeneys of the world. The venky brainwashing wins again ...never ceases to amaze me how the Rovers Fans are so easily swayed.

[JHRover]

We haven't even signed a single person yet and still just about have enough players to field a starting 11 with no forwards, yet now the transfer rumour mill is in overdrive people get sidetracked from the main issues at the club and instead concentrate on occupying their thoughts with which 'quality' players we're going to be signing.

Coyle has the gift of the gab. He'll tell people what they want to hear and be positive about everything. He's the opposite of Lambert. Lambert was honest, realistic, transparent. He laid bare the reality of working for this pitiful club and these disgraceful owners. He made it very clear what a real club needs - a structure, communication, organisation, ambition and most importantly investment - none of which these morons have brought to the table. Coyle meanwhile, out of sheer gratitude for a job at a decent sized Championship club, won't talk about how much money he has or needs or the shambolic situation of no board, absentee owners. He'll paper over all of that and get on with the job. That's one of the reasons he got the job and someone like Warnock or Davies didn't.

Just to make it clear, I don't blame Coyle for any of this. I don't blame him for getting the job, I don't blame him for telling people what they want to hear. I actually think from a recruitment perspective he's a decent manager at using his contacts to bring in some decent players quickly. He's not the issue here so I won't be getting on his back, although I don't agree with him being our manager.

But some people, mainly those on Facebook and the Lancashire Telegraph, appear quite happy to overlook the shambles and concentrate on 'getting behind the lads' as though all the issues at the club have suddenly disappeared or that just because a new season is coming into view and new players will be at the club that everything is going to be rosy in the garden from now on. It isn't.

It's like Narnia, where we live...

[gumboots]

I'm not being swayed and yet even I listen to the stuff coming out of the club and feel the nostalgia for going getting to me. I would love to get behind the team again but it's not normal is it? I told them that in the letter I wrote in my St renewal reply. It's the lack of normality that bothers me more than anything else. If the club was normally run and just rubbish it wouldn't worry me in the least. I could cope with supporting a poor side but not a poorly run club
