Blackburn 2-2 Man City, Another 2 Points Dropped

By: Jimmy | Comments 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 [...]

Chelsea Preview and Updates

Well Chelski make their way to Ewood Park for the early game this Sunday. Now this is a case oh kicking the dog while it’s down after their thrashing at the hands of Roma during the Champions League this week. This fixture last year saw Rovers play hard but fall 1 nil. I realistically can’t [...]

Hi there, lets have a talk.

Now, this isn’t directed at you, the fellow fans/readers or myself or even the club necessarily. However, over the last week I have found myself confused as to why I am happy when we draw.
Why is it that when Keith Andrews struck in the dying minutes of the game(with a great shot I might add) [...]

Benni Mac- Thanks for making me feel like we won.

So, first off. And I’ll say it, I’ll say it once, and I don’t want to have to say it again. Tuncay’s goal was onside. But it was called off, and that kind of stuff happens all the time. End of.
That being said, Rovers dominated the first hour of this match. Boro had some chances [...]

Rovers vs Hammers 1-4

By: David | Comments 1 Comment

Sorry for the late report but I was looking for something interesting to happen to us on deadline day, and unless Mark Bunn turns out to be the next Petr Cech, well, yeh….
Our defense is a bit of an enigma at the moment. It was shocking on Saturday in a 4-1 defeat to West Ham [...]
