Hello and welcome back to, what should be stable service one more, The Blackburn Offside. After my month long hell (aka internship) I am back with a vengeance, and now Podcast equipped.
Over the next few days, I’ll be posting write ups or podcast episodes of a review of the month I missed. With this new feature, I to invite anyone and everyone to be as involved as possible. If you have a question a comment or anything at all, email it to me and we’ll get it talked about on any future episode. Feeling bold? Even if you just have a simple built in mic or a whole studio, record a comment or question and I’ll throw it in the episode myself.
As always, discussion starts in the comments where I hope to see some of the posters return. Sorry again for the month long hiatus, but we’re back baby.

Wow I can’t believe it is friday already.
The famous Blue and Whites put on a show today in front of a rockin house of 24,845 at Ewood Park. Three goals brought the Rovers three points and their first win, as well their first home goals.
Not being able to watch the game really can be the worst some time, but you know as well as I that sometimes we just gotta roll with the punches.
Highlights after the jump, but some really promising signs about the game.
1. We won. Can’t overstate the importance of getting that first win and 3 points under the belt.
2. We scored 3 goals. Dunny seems to be the spark we need and if he stays fit, we could find up setting up and scoring a ton of goals.
Quite upset we didn’t keep the clean sheet, with Rovers’ defense spacing out on the Wolves goal. And while the win was against lower opposition, confidence is needed at this point of the term. Read the rest of this entry »

By: Jimmy | 3 Comments
SO, my plans were to live blog the game tomorrow. Then I realized that everyone hates us and we’re not on TV. Buttt if I find some crazy channel in an Asian language I don’t understand, I’ll still do it.
So basically I’m saying tune in for the live blog tomorrow. Unless there’s no feed. Because then there will be no live blog.
Hope to (maybe) see you there!
Wolves Preview

Proper football returns to us this weekend around the world and, more importantly, at Ewood Park as the Blackburn Rovers take on the Wanderers of Wolverhampton in the fourth league game of the season.
I’ll be honest here; this is a must win game. After this game we have league games against Everton and Villa, with a league cup game v Notts Forrest thrown in between those games.
Then after Villa and the retrn of big Brad and Stephen Warnock, we have Le Arse, Chelski, The B@stards, and ManUre.
This is a must win game. Read the rest of this entry »

With my school year starting again at Uni, I’ve found myself already falling behind in posts. I don’t know if you readers expect a certain amount of info and posts but I personally feel that I’m already slipping. So if you think you can manage a post or two a week with some tweets filled for bonuses, that’d be awesome. Shoot me an email and we can hash things out. In the meantime, I’ll be doing my best to get things back to the way they should be.

So its the Bogey side. Thee bogey side. There’s no denying it. West Ham seem to be the one side we can never get the 3 points from. We all remember the Tevez affair. I still remember how I felt that day. Personally, I feel that example alone sums up my feelings about playing West Ham. Hell, it took a Andrews wonder goal to draw level last season. They always seem to have our number.
But enough with this witchcraft bogey side. I think we have a chance come Saturday. Hell, more than a chance, I think we’ll walk away from this one with all three points. Read the rest of this entry »

So the big news today is Stephen Warnock is now a member of Aston Villa. On the replacement side, as soon as the door was hitting Warnock’s rear, a Mr. Pascal Chimbonda has moved in. A little case of the old switcheroo, and I’m not too upset. Here’s why… Read the rest of this entry »

Sorry for not being around lately at this clutch time in our season’s beginnings. Internet went out for a few days and work in the real world and you lose track of how much Rovers stuff is going on.
Here’s whats been going on:
First off, Sunderland stole three points from us. With more corners, shots, and two disallowed goals, stole is the only word to use.
Sam comments on the Rovers’ luck and even about Stephen Warnock here…click BBC Sport.
But Sam is resigned to him leaving with Villa still putting bids in…..click FoxSports.
And on top of All that….Injuries out the arse.
Cup tie against League One side Gillingham tomorrow. Really hope we don’t slip and bow it here; the lads really need the morale boost. Highlights from the Black Cats game after the jump. Read the rest of this entry »
Salgado is a Rover!!
By: Jimmy | 1 Comment
Just a quick post from work before I have a full write up, but this needed to be posted asap. Michel Salgado is a Rover! He signed on a free for two years after being released from Real Madrid. More on this later, but that article on the Offish site is a pretty good write up. UP THE ROVERS!
