v Cardiff City (h) - 15/3/2025

[Exiled_Rover]

Just seen the lowlights (although they haven't shown the Dolan offside goal or why no-one was following up that Tronstad shot).

As usual, a good GK saves both their headers. Carter lost his man for the first one - but Hyam was literally in no-man's land and of course soft-lad got beaten in the air for the second. 

We're an absolute shambles.

Nixon on one on twitter - full 'blame the fans for being toxic' and 'defend the club' mode.

He really is a rat.

No surprise. We're gutted Kean didn't out to be a "wee gem", Alan. Oh and we're still gutted that we didn't get that £50m 'warchest'. Ah well. I'm sure you can understand us being toxic, what with us being so excited back then?

Rat. Was pro Kean from day one and is always first in to defend the owners.

I wonder if he sees United, Newcastle, Everton and West Ham fans as being "toxic" too for wanting their owners out.

All these tossers praising Venky's would make a sharp u-turn if faced with the prospect of Venky's owning the clubs they support.

Honeyman, how about swapping Gibson for Venky's? No? Doesn't sound so appealing now, does it?

Fantastic, loyal owners though that the ungrateful Blackburn fans should respect and cherish. Piss off.

I solely blame Hyam for both goals actually. He completely lost his man tracking back for the first one when their winger skips past Dennis, forcing Carter to cover the run at near post. Hyam is not covering near post nor does he pick up any player, essentially leaving 2 vs 3 centrally in the box. Second goal is just embarrassing how easy it is for Meite to ghost behind before making a run to time the header just ahead of him.

Hyam doesn't look fit to be honest; maybe he's struggling with a mild form of concussion given the head bandage. Should be dropped if he's not 100 percent.

It was a good save, he got an un-Pearsy like strong hand to the shot so it went up and away to a defender.

Fair.

I'd have dropped him after that pass at Stoke to be honest - these players have such an easy ride, there are simply no consequences for bad performances.

On of the first things I learned in the game was "Don't argue with the ref. He isn't going to change his decision."

Well, not outside a Blackburn Rovers game anyway.

Further astounds me that any Rovers fans happily pay their hard earned money to a bitter, narcissistic, bullshitting hack for exclusive access to his predominantly fictional rubbish.

I follow him on twitter for the chuckles, he's never had a penny off me.

Yes, the guy I sit next to pointed it out, and it said a lot.

All the Cardiff players ran across to speak to their coaching team.

Most of ours stood around looking listless on the pitch.

Dennis actually sat on the ball near the Riverside & tied his boot laces!!

That's all I'm saying for today btw. Too angry, too upset, & yes I mean that & I'll be 50 fucking years old in a few weeks!!!
