Feeney played well today and against Newcastle. However he's been god awful recently like the majority of his time here. Same applies to Lowe although in both the Newcastle game and today we saw the massive benefit of not playing Lowe in midfield.

 

Ive said before that, Mulgrew aside, Guthrie is as good a midfielder as we have (and he's not exactly great) but Coyle doesn't want to play him. He also hasn't wanted to play Mahoney and Tomlinson all season. 

 

Besides, all the 'wanker' was doing was giving his opinions on the players in the starting XI.

Few lads from Utd on the train home admitting they took a pasting today.

blackburn youths?

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.

So people can talk to him any way they please and if he complains then he's being a cry-baby? 

Whatever happened to civility and disagreeing honourably? 

Where would you draw the line?

Owen Coyle from Glasgow... the agents man loses again !

Thanks for the reply Mick. I don't take too kindly being called a wanker. I don't rate feeney that is my opinion the same way you are entitled to yours. Yes feeney was good today worked his socks off. I cheered him in today as I do with any player who we use. I don't hate any player who pulls on a Blackburn Jersey. I will back the team to the hilt.

Even if we the unthinkable does happen and we do get relegated I will not shy away from supporting our lads no matter who does. I will still try get to as many games as possible throughout the season.

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.

Excuse me? Where did I do ANY of that?

[matt83]

I thought Feeney was poor to be honest and if that's him playing well Christ he's bad normally. He's fast which usually gives the impression players are better than they are but his crossing is diabolical and his touch is heavy. 

 

I thought Mahoney, mulgrew and emnes were good. Graham took his goal well but doesn't hold the ball up well enough especially for a fat lad. Tomlinson looked decent for his cameo as well.

 

Greer is so slow I reckon the old man would do him in a 100m race. 

[Dunnfc]

I was with Mike Neal and talk sport Dave today... Flyers flew throughout our hands, every single one went to a fan.

What I noticed was club colours I.e those in rovers gear took these and even came up for some.  the Asian population took these too.

problem lies with one gamers who think going to football in crag hoppers and a flask of coffee somehow passifies being above everyone.

these types and in 14 years of supporting Blackburn and the town have I ever seen our fans show such rudeness.

Il battle on there even if I'm last man standing as I won't let my club die

The LT talking about United's team costing £160 m just wonder how much talent Rovers have sold to give an accurate comparison.

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.

This is down to the manager surely? Same with Graham's weight.

We haven't much of a squad but fitness, organisation, better selection would make a world of difference.

Not possible to motivate the players unless the basics are right.

Precisely! Didn't Burnley get promoted playing something like 16 players all season?

The weight/fitness I agree with. Sure, shrewd management is also key,but an individual should be able to motivate themselves. We have too many fair weather players in our ranks which is why, combined with poor management, we always seem to come out second best in crunch matches. We desperately need this to change big time come Friday night.

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

It's called putting yourself in the shop window.

We have to try to sign Emnes at the end of the season if we stay up. He's a free agent then.

signed him up

We aren't playing Man Utd most of the season. It isn't hard for the players to motivate themselves to play against United. Burton, Wigan, Rotherham, etc, on the other hand...

Then the players need to be drop with that kind of awful attitude

It was very similar to normal, play well but make stupid mistakes from poor defensive errors. United played poorly but it doesn't matter if a team can't be organised.

If Coyle stays, next 15 games will see us relegated. 

Don't see Coyle being sacked any time soon but we need wins now. No more excuses from Coyle

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.

Yes we did played well today but we need to do this on Friday and Tuesday. No more excuses now. just get on with it

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.

No need for people abuse you or anyone. just show some respect and don't be nasty. If you don't want to a take a leaflet just say no thanks mate. I'm sure Mike wouldn't be offended by this sort of comment

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

He put in some decent/good crosses today. Thought he had a better game than Conway.

Like the hopelessly talentless Stephen Hendrie suddenly making the bench football, at Ewood stinks !

Why should Graham depend on the manager to stop himself getting unfit and overweight? Doesn't he have any pride in himself?

Feeney was in no way better than Conway both very similar though.

If any of them looked Asian they were Blackburn lads.

The Blackburn reds were buzzing for this game of which quite a few I know.

Feeney did more more crosses than Conway but its your opinion but my opinion is different

[Cherry Blue]

Lawro made the point that if premiership players don't motivate themselves, a championship team will punish. That's what happened today but as time went on Utd were always going to gain in skill. 

Graham's goal was brilliant. We don't often see players with that much room in championship games.

It's pretty obvious from your postings that you have no respect whatsoever for an individual's right not to actively protest and you say you wont sit next to people who won't protest next season etc yet you expect to be afforded the utmost courtesy when handing out unsolicited material outside the ground to people who may not have exactly the same views as you.

I'd say if you feel handing stuff out like that on an unsolicited basis is the right thing to do then by all means go for it but I wouldn't have thought you could be too surprised if you got a bit of gip handing out unsolicited material anywhere at any time in any situation.
