[Archived] Benni Mccarthy - Gone
roversactive replied to adam lodge's topic in Football Messageboard Archive
People are talking about Benni's behaviour at the moment, but Big Sam has been out of order with his handling of Benni since day one at Rovers. Coming out now and claiming that Benni is in it for the money is ridiculous, the guy said months ago that he would be happy to stay at Rovers if he got the time on the field - this is understandable seen as though he wants to be a part of the South Africa team for the world cup in his own country. We haven't played him (instead opted for hoof-ball), and now we are losing a valuable asset, I think we still could have got more out of him. Disappointing to see him go, and yeah it is disappointing that he didn't turn up for the last few training sessions - but Big Sam seems to suggest that our struggle this season has been because of Benni - yet he has hardly played him! His goal return last season was impressive, and this season he has been one of only a few players who look like they could score. The truth is, he hasn't done a lot wrong on the pitch for us, lets hope that we don't forget that. I'm not sure who we are going to find better to replace him with. -

Yeah I see what you are saying, defo, and I think it's a problem that we would rely on Dunn having a blinder. What if he doesn't? What if he gets injured, he is injury prone after all! I think thats what I'm trying to get across, we give ourselves more of a chance playing 4-4-2. I'm just not a fan of the 4-5-1. I too would like to see Robert's and McCarthy start next time. -

How about our away form? Wolves are a poor opposition, and showed it against us. Dingles was about the attitude of the players, and that was fantastic. We did play well against Villa in parts, - and what about West Ham at home, I remember cries off 'attack, attack'. West Ham was a case of points lost in my opinion, we didn't take the game to them. We also have the leakiest defence in the premiership, so maybe we should defend from the front, at least put a bit of pressure on them higher up the pitch. 4-5-1 invites too much pressure for us, I'm sure of it. -

I can't believe that we are looking to sell Benni. Benni represents the type of football we should be playing, keep more on the floor. If Dunn is as talented as big sam suggests, then he should fit in well to a team playing with the ball on the deck! 4-5-1 doesn't give us a chance, particularly at home. And it was the reason we have got turned over so easily away from home, look how deep we played - we had no intention to test their defence and pressure the ball! Very Frustrating. -

Me too, no chance of us getting to see the Highlights any time soon then! DRM creates more problems for users then it solves really. In some cases the DRM implementation will actually force ligitimate users to try and find the highlights on YouTube and the like! -
I will be very disapointed if the match has been moved to the sunday. For a start, I won't be able to attend on the sunday! why should the schedule be tampered with now? We've known the date of the fixture since they were realsed, plus one change of the game has already been made, with it moving to early evening KO on the saturday.

I would assume that Taylor played at right back so that Hughes could get a proper look at him. I would think that it was Lucas Neill who played Left Back?

Indeed, he also made a lot of apperences on the bench for Rovers, he was never far from the first team. -

If you don't go for a Powerbook, I think an Acer would be the best option. -

How about a Steward theme.... bright orange jackets "YOU, SIT DOWN" I speak to the away area steward (Danny O'brien) quite a lot now - he's interested to know what we are planning so they can 'cater' for us (and so he can get involved ) Remember the chant - "S3 is a Blackburn Fan!" -

[Archived] The Fa Cup 3rd Round Draw
roversactive replied to Tris's topic in Football Messageboard Archive
I've read on the Cardiff Official Website that should we want it, we will be allowed the whole 'John Smiths Grange End' - away fans usually only take half of this stand. I hope we take it all! The FA Cup laws state that the away team is entitled to 15% of the grounds capacity. I think the John Smiths Grange End is in the region of 3,500 - 4,000 capacity. -

[Archived] Three Cheers For Andrew Cole
roversactive replied to jim mk2's topic in Football Messageboard Archive
The timing and the wording of a few posts suggest that the latest events should have a bearing on Andy Cole's reception, not at all . When I say 'latest events' I am also relating to comments from the Press about Blackburn Fans. As some have said, cheer Cole, but for no other reasons then that off his days at rovers. -
[Archived] Three Cheers For Andrew Cole
roversactive replied to jim mk2's topic in Football Messageboard Archive
I'm sorry but I strongly disagree with those who have said (to sum it up), we should cheer on Andy Cole because the media is watching and he is black! Cheering on Andy Cole for the reason of his skin colour (along with the latest PR). I don't care who is watching but I feel strongly if anyone was to use this reason to cheer him on. Falsely cheering him on because of PR and his skin colour could actually be compared to racism itself. -
Statistics wouldn't prove that Andy Cole played any better for us then Dwight Yorke...

He never lost his form! Hasn't had much of a chance since his reserve days...! Gally could do with a run of games. -

roversactive replied to Ozz's topic in Football Messageboard Archive
COULD HAVE (like you could have paid more attention in school) been Worse! We might of conceeded 4 goals, but at least we didn't lose aswell Came as a surprise after reading through the whole article -
Is that not because Leicester play at the Walkers 'Bowl'. Don't personally like Villa for away fans. I'll agree with that!
