I’m 25 year old from Melbourne. My Rovers story is quite unique - I never really had a football team when I was younger as I was Aussie Rules & cricket fan. Football started to grow on me more & more as I started hanging out with mates playing FIFA. All my mates supported Man u, Liverpool & Arsenal however I wasn’t sold. I started watching a few premier league games and liked Southampton’s yellow away kit and was impressed by a grey haired Mark Hughes, but the time I looked back he had gone & I lost interest in them. Once he reared his head in Blackburn I caught on at the tail end of the promotion season and was sold as they were now in the premier league. Since then, what was initially a “token EPL team” has grown into an obsession. After travelling Europe last year I moved into Manchester, bought a season ticket followed Blackburn around for 12 consecutive games (home & away). Unfortunately after 4 months of no luck finding a marketing job in the North West I reluctantly packed my bags and went home. Since then I’ve been having withdrawal symptoms & would like to get back over however I can’t afford to put my career on hold again. I have made early plans to catch 6-7 games in March/April next year – however the current state of the club has me a little disillusioned and had me second guessing my plans.

fifa on the wii is ok, they've done it pretty well all things considering, would have rather seen the introduction of the classic controller but you can't win them all. as for super paper mario, i know people that love it and people that hate it, wasn't my cup of tea.

I'd imagine Benni's Chelsea dream is dead now with Mourinho gone, I guess we have to wait and see where Jose goes in the future to know whether Benni's wanted

looks good in the video, reminds me alot of louis saha. welcome to ewood

ive chatted to him numerous times, very arrogant bloke and goes out on the ######/smokes too much. built up as "the next best thing"....but no one has really seen him prove anything on the pitch in the a league. but he bought me a 8 dollar beer so it all evens out

aussie players are under fifa investigation due a "betting scandal" couple of the blokes had bets between eachother as to who would score the first goal of the tournament. apparently fifa is treating this very seriously. ------------------------------------------ i can imagine it would be different if it were bets to an agency of officail bookkeeper, but bet between each other? seems a bit stiff!

DUR, nice question to robbie slater in the magazine last month, i think it was either 442 or soccer international

what a game! the reason why bresciano wasn't at his best is becasue hes been on antibiotics for his ear infection all week and wasn't 100% neill was so solid and composed at the back. aussies were pretty rough, but i was happy because they were targetting nakamura. luke wilkshire had division 2 written all over him

the reason why the dutch ran over us was that they gave our players no time on the ball, where as we were prepared t stand off

i cant remeber much but i had an awesome view of skoko's goal, was right behind it on the bottom level. crowd was very good, 95k is awesome, the scenes on the way back to the train station were excellent. I think australia never realy left 3rd gear. Craig Moore was class at the back and lucas held his own. Other worthy contributors were skoko, grella and chipperfield (marked stelios out of the game) greece were very poor

I think the U.S is a very overated squad, and i think the FIFA ratings dont reflect where they are in world football. I wouldn't be terribly suprised to see them not progress past the group stages. Too many players not playing at the higest level overseas,, and there warm up games aren't terribly inspiring (all in the U.S) Morocco , Venzuela, Latvia and Angola. Im pretty sure they will get found out....

-------------Schwarzer -----------Neill--------Moore Emerton------------------Chipperfield -------Cahill---Grella---Bresciano Culina-------------------------Kewell ---------------Viduka An adaption of Neekoy's team. Culina to more to an attacking right. Surely you can't leave out Vince Grella.... Chipperfield at left back as hes been scoring some goals for Basel and can defenc, where Stan struggles to get a game these days and has been released.

Rovers 1 - 0 Brum Savage 90 + 4 (Pen)

1-1 reid and stelios

brazil neill marking ronaldinho, adriano, ronaldo, kaka............

steven reid must hate the fifa image makers. 04 Reid has long blonde hair and a blonde moustache 05 -Shaved head and a Moustache 06 - Shaved head and a Moustache When are we gonn asee his moustache on the pitch!!!!

aus v soloman islands at half time its 3 - 0 to australia culina with the cracking goal from outside the box viduka with a clinical header and a fantastic overhead kick emerton getting good crosses in and neill ever so solid at the back, very composed

one of the worst games ive seen the club play. no one seemed to be able to pass the ball to the forwards, i could see bellamy getting frustrated.... reid was poor, we need someone who can give that killer ball from midfield

What would you call Glen McGrath in an England Team An all rounder What do you call an England player with a Hundred next to his name on the scorecard? A bowler

robbie is going alright, and he never disrespects the club. Dont know where you go that idea from.

i've always seen him as a fair talent savage, bellamy, todd, neill, dickov...one more cant hurt

I love it when people gloat too early.

i hope hughesy will have the boys fired up, with birmingham playign arsenal and newcastle against chelsea, this is a real chance for us to finish 12th. 2-0 rovers come on!

i think it should be brought up in the hearing that todd has only collected 3 yellows this season in the league, hes a hard player, but not a "thug" the bully tag that norwich labbelled of us hasn't helped our reputation thougn

I do mate. In Burwood. uni games?
