Should be a good open game. With Calamity James in the sticks it would be a great time for MGP to whip in a few direct shots from our corners. James would have to flap at a few.

I forgot my current least loved person in football (is that better Krislu)SEPP BLATTER

As much as I want to win this one I will be more concerned with Bellers coming back unscathed from his advenutes with Wales.

Why?

A myth that I believed in for some time and likely still do. It's been so long since I've seen him I've forgot. I still don't think Amo was that bad all round. He came with a bad rap cos of a few huge clangers dropped and we all know that Rovers, unless you are a "chosen one", is no the place to lose that. That said he can't come close to the ability of what we have now or the confidence they instill in me.

As far as Fergusons concerned, he deserves everything he gets, in a negative way of course.

Check the history books folks, anyone thinking a few good performances will bring the crowds flocking back is mistaken. This public once lost is very very difficult to win back, You can also bet that when they do decide to go we will flop in an amazing fashion. It's the way it's been since the sixties. Thousands will walk away saying, see I told they weren't up to much, same old Rovers. Those pointing out the bigger gates in the Championship.... you could also point out the size of the town/city and the quantity of nearby competition for entertainment Pounds.

I was happy to hear Brad made a couple of what sounded like great saves yesterday, at a crucial time too.

I'll hold my hand up waggy, when I'm wrong I'm wrong. Had he played it would have been 6-1

Going to be nervous all second half now. Hope we can score early on make it a bit less nailbiting. Charlton will have to go for it.

I might join, don't have much to add but you never know when I might get a flash of brilliance.

What can I do from here Den. are you just looking for ideas, thoughts or what. I suppose I could trawl through the pages here. A Fiver for a family membership, good deal. Hey American can I adopt you, save a few quid. BRISA sounds like a fantastic idea, good luck.

I think we will miss Savage a lot today.

The Coyotes did a deal a while back it was per game, 4 tickets, 4 drinks, 4 Hot dogs $44. Not bad really

I don't know if this has been brought up. Over here our local NBA team over the last few year has done a thing called a six pack. You could buy blocks of 6 games at dicounted prices usually with some additional incentive such as a free drink and sandwich. I think the games are pre set, in other words you can't pick and choose exactly which games you want but the blocks usually include one or more of the better games (on paper). Has something like this ever been considered, after season ticket sales the club would know which seats would be available and could sell them off at a cut rate, perhaps somewhere between match day and season ticket prices. Another ploy used by our Diamondbacks the Baseball (well sort of) team was the made a whole section of seats available for $1 every game, several hundred seats I think. They were not the greatest view but they got bums in 'em. Tickets were sold on the day of the game only. The thing was many fans having got to the game found the seats to be sold out and rather than waste a trip bought more expensive tickets and watched the game anyway. I am not convinced it is all ticket prices anyway. Apathy is rife when the pubs are open. Shut the pubs and make Ewood the only place in Blackburn where a beer is available, that 'll get 'em in.

I am sickened by the suggestions that the Ethnics be given discounted tickets just to get them on Ewood, it's a disgusting idea. I mean haven't they been handed enough over the years. If they don't want to go, they don't want to go. If they do want to go then they can pay the same bloody price as everyone else. Jesus H effin Christ what are you lot thinking. Put the sandal on the other foot, imagine the uproar if one starting discounting tickets for white people. Get a bloody grip.

I think that would just about sum it up. Just like Matt's ineffectiveness earlier in the year was blamed on the 10 people behind him. Yes he was good, yes he was exciting to watch but it's all gone now. We all should really move on. The club and Matty more so than us. It's been almost 4 years, the footballing instincts are lost and that is what made Jansen good. It's a crying shame it really is but that is that. You are right, good players never need excuses but blinkered fans do.

And to think many many people on here were touting him as a managerial candidate for us.

Interestingly enough, it seems Jansen, the longer he is out the better he was. Let's not forget but for promotion year and our first season back we have had nothing. For a long time when he first came many Rovers fan's despised him, including me. He had a break out year and I still hold a grudge against Erickson (never liked him anyway) for not taking Matty to Japan, he'd earned at least a squad slot and IMHO would have done a job for England that year. We lacked Matty's style big time. Now let's look at this realistically and stop all this who's worth how many ###### stuff. Next year will be another World Cup and FOUR YEARS since Matty's tragic career ending bike accident. That's four years. Now here is the bottom line, Paul Dickov plays regular first team Premiership football. Matt Jansen does not. I think that just about sums it up. It's not what who HAD it's about who HAS, isn't it?

She must have got it wrong and upset someone, there's a bullet hole in 'er 'ead

Errr, Moped riding?

Interestingly enough take away Mike Riley's inept performance on Saturday and we have the SAME number of Yellow Cards

Dom't know if any one has seen this but it made my blood boil when I read it. they just won't stop will they. Made me Mad Particularly the Blackburn verdict

Was that that keepers name? I am sure after yesterday there will be more joining me in the Mike Riley "fan" club, never liked him he's a blatant cheat. I need to make an effigy today and get some pins.

I've said it all before, it's not just been this season, it's been coming for some time but no one wanted to listen cos Brad was one of them untouchables. He's been great stopping shots but his fundamentals have always questionable to me, coming of the line, positioning for free kick, punching, narrowing the angle. It's not a blip, as his reflexes go he will not be making as many of the wonder saves he's awed us with, at that point he will be a less than average keeper. I also don't buy into the coaches being a problem, if anything Brad's coming off the line and narrowing of angles have actually improved slightly, that is due I think to the coaching.
