Well the Rovers take a trip to Blue Square North Blyth today to take on the Spartans in the definition on a banana peel game. Currently in 21st out of 22 places, they’re three points shy of the safety spot at 19th. The Rovers’ staff knew just about as much as I did, and [...]

Blackburn 2-2 Man City, Another 2 Points Dropped

By: Jimmy | 3 Comments

A heads up and alert shot by Benni Mac and a sweet header from Jason Roberts wasn’t enough to down Manchester City this past Sunday. A late collapse and total lapse of confidence saw a poor clearance capitalized on and marking taking a back seat while Robinho waltzed home. Samba summed it up well when [...]

A Letter to Jason Roberts w/ Highlights

By: Jimmy | 8 Comments

Dear Jason Roberts,
KILL YOURSELF! The worst miss in the history of misses. Un-effin-believable. 2 points dropped but a point is a point and hopefully this will put us well on our way to getting out of the drop zone. Read some more after the jump.

Rovers 2-3 Pompey; A Game of Goals, Missed Chances, and Blown Calls

By: Jimmy | 1 Comment

Then someone lit a fire under Pompey’s asses. And Rovers weren’t ready. 2 goals later the game looked hopeless. Had it had been the Rovers of a few years ago or even last year, it probably would have been. [...]
