FA Cup Round Three Preview - Blyth Spartans AFC & 4th Round Draw

By: Jimmy |

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 [...]

Carling Cup- Rovers v. Sunderland

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. [...]

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 [...]

A Look At the Back Pages

Well this Monday, soon to be afternoon here on the East Coast of the States, has found me in pretty high spirits as a Rovers supporter. Three wins in seven days has certainly left a nice after taste and I can only hope this ride up here lasts for a while. An optimistic approach I [...]

Rovers 2-1 Newcastle w/ Highlights

By: Jimmy |

9 Comments

So anytime you can go to Newcastle and take away all tree points, it’s been a a good weekend. It is even better after you have beaten Everton a few days prior in the League Cup. Beating two those two, two teams that I feel are definitely a pair of our boogey sides, gives a [...]

Rovers vs Hammers 1-4

By: David |

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 [...]

Rovers v West Ham Live Blog

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)

By: David |

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 [...]
