[Archived] Rovers v Man Utd

[Mike E]

Got put right off our fans today. I stood in the rain for 90mins handing out red cards, to be insulted by people on both sides (Utd fans were actually more courteous), and no obvious sign that there is any issue with our owners.

Not renewing next season to be sat next to a bunch people who would rather insult me than speak up against the Raos.

Screw the lot of them.

Glad to see you've revised your opinion slightly having now seen him the grand total of twice. Lol.

Today's game rev he didn't make much of an impression second half, don't forget these are ninety minute plus games not forty five mins.

Creating that unbeatable force.....  has to be the goal ,......not moving players in and out !

Graham. Scored a great goal and did nothing else. Usually of late in the League  doesn't score and does nothing else either.

That used to acceptable to you Rev. 

 

In in fact it was a sign of real class!

[bluefred]

Is it a coincidence that rovers scored in the 18th min and Utd scored in the 75th ????????

I'm with you on this Mike. People have been castigated on here for saying some of our fans deserve the owners but they really do deserve them.

I feel like giving up and washing my hands of everything Rovers when I hear of such a response and apathy.

The sign of real class is doing in every week den, Graham will never be that man and he's carrying to much weight.

No - because we scored in the 17th

I'm sorry but don't be such a cry baby. You're perfectly entitled to protest, hand out cards or do whatever you want but If people don't have the same opinion as you its one of those things.

Not something to play the victim card about.

What a nasty reply. You always seem to want to take some kind of moral high ground.

So what do you reckon to Emnes now?

Not changed my opinion. Can do it against the big boys when the cameras are watching, but only produces the odd cameo here and there otherwise. As I keep saying, let's see how he performs Friday night.

And how many people didn't abuse you?

A lot of different types of people make up a fanbase. Every fan I know hate Venky's, there are no heads in the sand.

Today, plenty around me had red cards and sang Venky's Out. You will never get a full boycott, you will never get everyone agreeing- you don't need to, it's 2017, get the message out in all forms of media- just like we have in the build up to this and the Blackpool game.

I certainly wouldn't be ending my attendance of however many years on the back of a few empty heads.

As are the majority of our squad. Looks like the table tennis tournies and doughnuts are rife at Brockhall. Certainly not much fitness work being done.

Not at all. Some people want to protest. Some don't.  I can't see why the protesters can't get their heads round the fact some people have a different opinion to their own and are reduced to hurling insults like Mike and labelling non protesters as being mentally defective in some way.

Where has he hurled insults? Your reply was both insulting and antagonistic.

 

[koi]

Didn't see the game but sounds like we have some players who can only be bothered raising their game when they want.

So it's okay to call someone a dickhead when for giving out leaflets? Charming.

I've had enough over the last few years, today was a tipping point for me. There is NO NEED to insult someone holding paper. Civil disagreement is fine but I should not be insulted for my efforts.

Yes it's called 'Josh King syndrome' the sides rife with it.

So many modern day footballers are robbing a living at the expense of thousands are hard working fans up and down the land, turning it on when the cameras are in town, disgusting. 

Whilst I'm at it, Jason Lowe was excellent today, didn't look out of place against a far superior Utd, in fact he stood out, excellent game.

That's bang out of order Rev.  No need for abuse - especially off your fans.  Don't like it, ignore it.

[Parsonblue]

Enjoyed the game today far more than I thought I would.  I thought we played as well as we could and the atmosphere was excellent.  This shows that we can do it but we need to do it when it matters in League games starting at Burton on Friday night.  I came away from Ewood feeling much happier than I have for some time.  Sorry that Mike E got abuse.  No need for that.  If you don't want to take part in the protest then simply ignore it but no need to abuse those who do.

I don't mind Conway feeney is awful. Connor should be starting.

Hendrie on the bench ? Id do better myself 

feeney was one of the best players today and recently. emnes gets coated as well. throughout this thread, wankers slagging players even before the game starts. Not just you, plenty who call themselves fans don't analyse objectively but just can't wait to call out their hated players.

What did Feeney do aplogies in advance as I must have missed it !

[Wing Wizard Windy Miller]

To be fair to Feeney, he should have stayed on today. Conway on the other hand was dire.  Too slow to play on the wing.  Emnes did well.  Graham's touch and holding up of ball was poor.  Mulgrew a class above anyone else and Mahoney should start.
