[Archived] Poor Old Souness, players bite back

[Eddie]

Not really going to spark a long discussion, but just thought I'd like to point out that Birmingham have just equalised against Newcastle. Who was it scored by? None other than Dwight Yorke. It was also set up by David Dunn.

[colin]

All it needs now is for Johnson to set up Taylor..........

[philipl]

...or a Given punt to set Shearer through.

Tiny is not even on the subs bench. Seem to have been a number of offsides since Yorke came on

[brfcshabba]

2-1 Upson

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

Smith yet again pulls Utd out of the brown stuff!!

[Eddie]

Finished 2-2 in newcastle game

[RoverDrake]

Man Utd. 1

Boro 1

F T

No doubt Sir Alex will just go on about Man Ure's fighting spirit at how they always come back from behind.... *chuckle*

[Accylass]

serves souness right. he made too many enemies of players at Ewood and Good on Dunny and Yorke for playing well at Birmingham and stopping him

[mode_m]

He still hasn't lost a game since joining newcastle.

Id say that about Dunny, but i have no time for Yorke whatsoever and hope that most other Rovers feel the same. Dunn is 1 of us and id like to see him do well in general.

Yeah I really miss Dunnie... I know if he had stayed he wouldn't of featured much because of injuries but he was really the type of player he have missed... I mean imagine a fit Dunn~Ferguson partnership.

[grizfoot]

Yorke Scored, are you sure, serious come on. Did he, no he can't have, come off it

[Eddie]

Well, it's more believable than Heskey scoring. A lot of strange things seem to be happening in the midlands. Then again, if you throw enough mud at a wall...

[Kennysuperbuyer]

Give him time. He has'nt brought his own players in yet after behaving like a baby with the ones Robson left behind.

[92er]

It is,however, the first time he hasn't won.

It's all spiralling out of control at newcastle now isn't it!

Lot of ex-rovers players on the pitch when you count Given and Shearer.

But to those who doubted the wisdom of trading Dunny for 5 mill, Bruce summed it up by praising his ability but informing the interviewer that he's only started 18 games in 18 months! Dunn looked good today but that type of stat was predicted on here many times when he was sold. Maybe he would benefit greatly from ice baths!

Best bit of all was the ref turning down the mags appeal for a pen and GS immediately wading into the 4th official! Will he never learn?

[Hughesy]

Glad for Yorke.

Looks to me like alot of players were playing sh!t just because they didnt like souness and his tactics were poor

[roversmum]

It must have been a dream.

I didn't know

a) Dwight could actually run

he knew where the box was as he hadn't been seen near it for some time at Ewood.....

Still, give him time. It will be a marriage made in heaven for Dunny and Yorke. Wait till they set off clubbing together. It will be a short honeymoon.

Think Hughesy could have a point though:

[AndyC]

how we've been crying out for a player of dwights ability so far this season.

It says something when everyone starts rejoicing in paul dicov. yes- he ran about a lot again on saturday, but he is not the answer to our forward problems.

I would have loved to have seen djorkaeff playing with yorke, fergie and emerton under mark hughes.

[herbergeehh]

Yeah, Yorke is a fantastic player.

If they play poorly because they don't like the manager then it's their bloody problem. Unprofessional gits..

I would love to see Dunnie come back though, when Brum is relegated in the end of the season. OR when Bruce get's tired of Dunnies injuries.

"Finally, now I can be a Blackburn-fan again"

[rover6]

Is it true that Dunn refused to shake Souness' hand on coming off in the second half of the game?

Shame I missed it.

[herbergeehh]

Seems childish if true, doubt Dunnie would sink that low.. after all, he didn't shoot down Souness in the media after transferring to Birmingham..

[92er]

I smiled when I read the report in the Daily Telegraph which included the following quote:"Souness is fast becoming the Premiership's new Tinkerman. In five games, he has tried a variety of attacking combinations. He has changed the shape on three occasions,risking a three-man defence when chasing the game in the second half."

Hm.

[Kennysuperbuyer]

Shame I missed it.

I wouldn't be surprised. Dunny will never forgive Souness for the things he said to the press about him, and thats a fact.

I dont blame him. Shake his slimey hand, no way, more like kick him up his arrogant arse!
