Samba pushing Salgado, just what we don't need!

Samba pushing Salgado, just what we don't need!

passion!! its exactly what we need!

[Iceman]

SO PROUD OF THE BOYS TODAY!

[RibbleValleyRover]

Every Rovers fan will take that, a point against a team that's far superior. Arsenal looked a bit flat today but that doesn't take away from the lads performance.

Robbo made some outstanding saves, Emerton put in a great shift, both Jones were all over the pitch, Hoilett and Olsson (what a block) were also superb.

Still vital we win the Brum game coming up, we should take some confidence going into that game after today's performance especially defensively.

[TugaysMarlboro]

Well effing played.

[bigbrandjohn]

Let's be clear. This is as good at it gets.

[Mr. E]

This result is about 10X more shocking than us getting tonked by Manchester.

[rebelmswar]

Fantastic team performance.

[roverwhelmed]

We'll stay up if we carry on playing like this. Absolutely proud as punch.

passion!! its exactly what we need!

It would have been more than passion had the ref not stopped Salgado getting to Samba!

0-0

And for anyone saying we have bad fans for booing at Ewood, how bad are Arsenal fans for booing!?!?

[Mr C]

Well, that was rather marvellous, wasn't it?

For the first time in months a teeny, weeny bit of a feel good factor.

I think I'll have a half of shandy!

[Stuart]

Epic!

Well done Rovers. With fight like that we have a chance.

Proud.

[beerwins]

Well done the lads, and well done Kean.

Very proud of that performance.

[andyroversmad]

Can't say nothing bad about the team today thats a massive point for us.

Jermaine Jones is a machine

[OsloRover]

What a precious point that was. Excellent performance, especially by JJ.

[Amo]

I'm sure the players will get the credit. Or the fans. Or the spirit of John Williams.

But not the manager.

[Tom]

Superb boys, proud tonight. Jermaine Jones take a bow also Martin Olsson legend for that block

[Oakland]

Best point of the season, hands down!

[Paul]

Amazed, absolutely amazed. Anything less than 4 - 0 would have been a bonus. This a VERY BIG point. Well played Rovers.

[Herbie6590]

that block was Hendry-esque

[patrickvalery]

Absolutely first class.

People will say what they like about Steve Kean. But the players are clearly fighting his corner. For me, that is all that matters at this moment in time. We might not have piced up the points we would have under Allardyce, but this bunch have still got the fight to keep us up.

I am such a proud proud Rovers fan tonight.

[DavidMailsTightPerm]

Problem is Nzonzi out for three games ? Jones hopefully only cramp - but yet again we are starting to look light in midfield.

Jones and Jones in midfield could keep us up.

Also - lets have a little respect for Kean. To be honest he set the team up as I would - with only one up front - and we have come out with a well deserved point.

Next the real acid test - we need to beat Birmingham to make this point really count.

[tony gale's mic]

That was worth FAR more than one point. IMO the confidence from this will play a massive role in the rest of our fixtures starting with the crucial Birmingham game.
