Blackburn 2-2 Man City, Another 2 Points Dropped

By: Jimmy |

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 [...]

Role reversal; Rovers 1-2 Sunderland w/ Highlights

By: Jimmy |

While that picture of Samba scoring that fantastic header looks great, Sunderland pulled a reversal of the midweek result by beating Rovers 2-1 at Ewood Park. This furthers the run of absolutely abysmal results at home this season and sees Rovers slip into the bottom three. Ugh. Just the two words typed together should never [...]

So there’s no stream to be found, I am stuck in math class, and re hashing text updates from other sites would be silly and borderline forgery. So Let us hope for the best in the mashup of a starting 11 Incey has thrown out, and I will get highlights up as soon as possible. [...]

The Blackburn Rovers U18s thumped the Liverpool U18s 4-0 this past weekend. The win set Rovers in 5th place in group C of the Premier Academy League with 12pts and a +5 goal differential. Glad to see the younger lads doing well in a group that has the like of Liverpool, ManU and Man [...]

Rovers vs Hammers 1-4

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 [...]

Full time. Rovers fall to pieces though the scoreline doesn’t tell the tale. Not flattering for Rovers, though they missed their fair hare of chances. Final, 4-1, but what else is to be expected at West Ham?

A lucky start, and I’ll take it! (w/ highlights)

Ok, so the goal was soooo offside you wouldn’t believe!
Steven Warnock’s last minute free-kick was headed onto the post by captain Nelsen who was miles offside (and hence unmarked).
Nicely for us, Andre Ooijer was on hand to tap in and secure a 3-2 victory at Everton. What a great start for the new [...]

Although the inevitable sale of Bentley was delayed somewhat we still have plenty of time to assemble our squad for the coming season.
I would think it fair to assume that the sales are over. We all knew that Bentley was off (though I was always too optimistic about keeping him)dwee, and although Brad’s departure [...]
