[Archived] An Evening With Matt Jansen

[Anti-Dingle-Brigade]

Brownie, just a suggestion but maybe you could use a tape recorder and type it up afterwards, or film it?

[American Rover12]

A live podcast from the scene?!

[Brownie]

I struggle to work the bloody microphone !!

[Mc Love]

Brownie, can you publish the Q & A's after??

I'll be too busy making sure the sound system etc is working plus my short hand is crap.

If anybody else wants to (there's plenty of you coming), it would be a great idea for those who live too far away.

Great idea, thanks Brownie, if someone tapes it? Or does a video and upload it t'youtube, that would be excellent.

Or just post the q&a on here would be great.

Really appreciate it

[tchocky]

Did he get any impression of what the fans made of his accident and subsequent struggles?

What does he reckon us Rovers fans think of him now?

Who was his favourite strike partner during his career?

[Brownie]

Keep the questions coming please, cant see Matt being anywhere near as chatty as Speedo.

Superstar though, that he is.

[T4E]

Has he ever been on BRFCS, and does he think we're all muppets like Dunny?

I don't know about that, but his brother used to view the site. Do either of them view us any more?

[Sparky Marky]

Matty can tell us all about how he plays the piano at home...how exciting.

If you have nothing constructive to say it is usually better to say nothing.

[Threepenny Bit Foot]

Four more:-

If he could go back and replay any game from his career, which would it be?

Who was his toughest opponent?

What sort of money was he on at Rovers and what are his thoughts about the pay of current Premier League players?

What was the story around him not being selected for the World Cup squad - how did he find out, and why does he think he didn't go?

[Scotty]

One of my favourite Rovers players - would like to have been at this but sadly I won't be able to make it.

Some questions though:

- Who was the best manager you worked with at Rovers? And the worst?

- At what point did you realise that you weren't going to be the same player again following your accident?

- What specifically was it that stopped you coming back as strong as you were? Was it a mental thing, something physical, or a combination of the two?

- Do you have any regrets?

- Have you ever considered writing a book about your career?

- What are your plans for future? Coaching? Media? Something entirely different?

[Brownie]

Some great questions, men. Making a difficult job easier.

Much appreciated.

[T4E]

- Have you ever considered writing a book about your career?

I would buy this.

[Head Rover Heels]

I would buy this.

Seconded.

And i simply don't read autobiographies - This one however, would be a real interesting one i think, and not just for Rovers.

[MarkBRFC]

I have a question for him.

Early on in the promotion season, why was it every time he or Nathen Blake scored a goal, they kissed each other on the lips?

[Exiled in Toronto]

Keep the questions coming please, cant see Matt being anywhere near as chatty as Speedo.

Superstar though, that he is.

Particularly if it turns into either a lovefest or focused almost entirely on his post-accident demise.

I would like to hear the the following from him:

What was the club like when he joined? Why did we go down? Was Kidd as crap as we all think? Is it true that Sutton was swinging the lead? How was team spirit? Why did we spinlessly surrender to a relegated Forest?

What difference did Souness make early on? Specifically, how much does he credit Souness (if at all) for turning him from a headless chicken show pony in our first year post-relegation into the goal machine of our promotion?

What went wrong with the Souness reign?

[sambo]

Hopefully can make it:)

My favourite Matt goal is impossible, theres his thunderbolt v Norwich, his derby goals and the winner at PNE. But I also loved his mazy run and finish to complete a win v Birmingham on Boxing Day (or just after). He said that was his favourite goal for us at one point on Soccer AM.

I still get shivers when I remember his lap of honour when he came back for Bolton, I could have broke down!

[cravenblue]

[Exiled in Toronto]

Suggestion for another one, having just read Waggy's Tales: Dave Wagstaffe and Gordon Taylor

Gordon Taylor would be fantastic but probably a bit out of the pub league.

[Ricky]

Just wondering if I can justify a day off work, £50 in fuel, and £29 for the travel lodge...... it's very very tempting.

[Brownie]
