I know where you are coming from Dave but expectation and arrogance used to be the sole preserve of successful clubs.....so I thought!! I was genuinely upset when Dalglish moved.......Indifferent sums my mood up perfectly with Souey.

Souness was good for us on the whole Rikko but his time had come. Your fans are not making things easy for him already are they? with the greatest of respect where in gods name does this massive weight of expectation/arrogance come from your supporters?...................... GOOD LUCK TO SOUNESS.

Strachan,Sir Bobby or Hughes. A NEW ERA IS ABOUT TO UNFOLD AT THIS FAMOUS OLD CLUB....KEEP THE FAITH!!

The Geordie fans have ego's to match Souness...love it!!!!!!

The Barcodes are seriously ###### off about Souness but I ask the question: WHO THE HELL DO THEY THINK THEY ARE? WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME THEIR 'MASSIVE' CLUB WON A TROPHY?

Calm down Bobby!...we should all know well enough by now that there is NO loyalty in football. Lets all look forward to the new appointment of our manager rather than spitting feathers.

I'm glad he's gone at this early stage,will give the new manager time to access the situation.Thanks for the memories Souness but I had the feeling it was all going rather t1ts up in the end...he's left us with a lot of uncertainty at the present within the club.

What chance he starts to rape the club of our best players?

Yep! I have to hold my hand up and say fair play to Dickov, he's surprised me so far

I got my free copy from a rubbish skip outside Ewood park about '86,there were hundreds of the buggers.....I kid you not!!

Bob Crompton without question....his achievements are unmatched.

'We haven't had a penalty' boo ho ho,sob,sob,sob...PLEASE DONT BOTHER!!!

What you think mods?.....would be VERY popular!!

Much better proposition: how about one with how many years since we were last beaten by Burnley! A real kick in the balls for 'em How about donations from mb members towards this?..it could be our very own and on display at EVERY home game

Slightly of topic but why are there only Two Premiership matches today when the rest of the leagues have a full fixture list?

A tragic story indeed,so much talent and promise lost in a day. His ill-fated trip to Rome will haunt him for the rest of his life. His cup final goal,promotion winner at Preston,goals against Burnley and his overall skillful play........... Thanks for the memories and the very best of luck Matt Jansen

Another frustrating 1-1. Stead. 'OR' (SEE BELOW) ***(3-0 BARCODES NOW FIRED UP BY NEW MANAGER)***

The biggest and best supported club in the worlds supporters are having a dig again at our support ................... http://boards.footymad.net/mboard/load.php...&mid=2143908852

How in gods name is Gallagher not featuring when we have a waster like Yorke playing in the blue 'n' white?....its f'kin scandalous.

Short and sweet: we were robbed but by christ we can hold our heads up high tonight,well played lads!..Friedel was outstanding. On a more serious note under 20k Rovers fans again and this for the visit of Utd.

Even if we do go down to our third defeat on the bounce lets just hope our team gives its all for the cause...we ask nothing more.

Agree with that selection..spot on!

Rovers losing money hand over fist,I feared this would happen with the poor fare on the pitch..a vicious circle that a club like ours can ill afford The utd game will see Ewood well short of capacity I fear.

A dramatic improvement in results is needed and demanded,quite simply the fans will not tolerate another season of Sh1te like the last one. We pay our hard earned coin to watch Rovers and the vast majority dont like what they see...many are starting to vote with their feet. If Souness feels he has taken us as far as possible then its time for him to walk before all the good work he has done for the club goes down the pipe.

The tonking was as expected. Please for the sake of your job Souness play Gallagher....it may be one of the very few chances you have left to pull us out of the brown stuff and that's wishful thinking at its best I fear. IF reports on here about a fall out are true THEN THERE'S THE DOOR PAL I already feel I've had all the early season optimism kicked out of me.
