Blackburn 0-0 Reading

By: David | Comments No Comments

Not a nice advert for Premier League football as Rovers failed to overcome 10 man Reading. There isn’t much to say really, though Reading keeper RSC and Marcus Hahnemann had to make a few good saves.

Rovers news - You couldn’t make it up.

By: David | Comments No Comments

International football is a strange thing, with teammates finding themselves against each other. It became stranger last night with Aaron “Axe” Mokoena managing to injure Rovers teamate Roque Santa Cruz, our best striker.

31 year old Swiss international Johann Vogel has signed for Blackburn on a free transfer. Yet another good piece of oppurtunism by Sparky if you ask me. This guy was in the PSV first team for years, before moving to Milan. He failed to get into the Milan first team, though thats hardly a failure [...]

Is it an omen? - And welcome to the new blog!

By: David | Comments 1 Comment

Ok so hi. My name is David and together with Jim we have taken over this blog - and not a good omen either for our tenureship as Rovers gave up a one goal lead to loose 2-1 to West Ham.
Roque Santa Cruz put us ahead with a diving header. Good to see him [...]

And now the end is near…

By: Dan Clough | Comments No Comments

Hi there folks.
As you’ve probably noticed, I haven’t been blogging much over the last few weeks. I’ve found myself increasingly busy with university work (I’m in my final semester now and it’s very hard work at times) and also have to try and maintain my personal blog at http://danclough.wordpress.com and the Rovers Mad website, of [...]
