[Archived] Blackburn Rovers v Birmingham City 9th April 2011

1-1 is a flattering score for Rovers they have not really been in this game.

Hope the 2nd half is better

not that brum deserve it any more... so fair scoreline

[tonyoz]

A goal from nothing...............great stuff!

[Gogger]

Just seen the goal again. What on earth did Robinson do? Poor goalkeeping

[toetoe]

I don't think i've seen a B'Ham game yet where Roger Johnson doesn't get seriously injured, but miracously gets back on the pitch almost immediately. Can't help it, but i think there's a bit of acting going on there...

[martmitch]

Rocky off Kally on, oh wait he's not even on the bench as he doesn't kiss keans a**

No kidding. It damages the ability to fear/empathize for him.

[moerpho]

stunning that we actually have a player out there that is trying.

I would say we have 2....our young lads: Hoilett & Olsson.

Still 45mins to go! Here's hoping for:

- Chelsea going on a scoring-spreee against Wigan

- Bolton scoring 2 more against Wet Spam

- Newcastle beating Villa & Arsenal demolishing Blackpool tomorrow

...ohh....and Rovers to score a WINNING goal in the 2nd half...probably should get Charlie Sheen to manage the club...at least he knows a thing or two about winning!

[MarkBRFC71]

Poor performance by us till now, but thank you Junior Hoilett for that brilliant piece of skill.

Referee has been shocking. Draw fair going into half time. We need to put them under pressure and our strikers need to play closer to their goal.

MGP and Dunn the worst two out there for us.

Agree entirely. Dunn looks overweight, unfit and like his legs have gone, Peds has been lazy, uncommitted and powderpuff.

Hoilett and Olsson been our best players.

Roberts and Santa Cruz - our least goal threatening strike partnership since Ashley Ward and Nathan Blake?

[ben_the_beast]

Well that was blumin lucky coming in at half time level. Really need to pick up the tempo. As has been said Dunn and Peds are passengers right now. Thank god for Junior. Awful from Birmingham but a class class finish.

Sounded like booing with the players going in at half time. They need to come out fighting like we are 0-1 down

[Stavros_BRFC]

Can we even keep Junior at the Club on this summer?

the only quality player we got alongside (both) jones and olsson

[DE.]

MGP and Dunn the worst two out there for us.

In MGP's defence, according to his blog he only started light training four days ago after his illness. I'm assuming he's not fully prepared, which makes selecting him a strange decision.

As for Dunny, been finished at Premier League level for a while. But he's a part of the committee...

[Guest roverspogges]

Charlie sheen is soooo last month, and kean should have been aswell.

[Rover Down Under]

Commentators are describing Hoilett's goal as a gift / mistake from Brum, codswollop. He was yards from that pass, made up the ground leaving a trail of fire in his wake, won the ball, ran 20 yards, took it round the keeper then slotted home past a retreating Brum defender. Simply brilliant.

can see all 3 gone even if we stayed up, all more than good enough to interest the really big teams.

[Bobby G]

Pdersen's passing has been stray, and that has nothing to do with fitness.

[Steve Moss]

RSC, MGP and Dunn are the worse of our squad presently on the pitch. The 2 Jones, Hoillett and Olsen are reasons to smile.

Its depressing to see half of our squad is uncommitted to winning, especially as this appearance comes from our "untouchable" senior players. We need a massive turnaround in energy and commitment this next half.

What was it that Brian Clough said about commentators?

Pdersen's passing has been stray, and that has nothing to do with fitness.

Lack of match/training practice would make his passing somewhat rusty, regardless of fitness. On the other hand, his passing has never been great.

[toetoe]

It seems that people are mistaking speed and technique with commitment.

[danielwhite813]

J Jones does make some wild challenges

[yellowsubmarine]

dear jermaine jones, please learn not to tackle so near outside the box! ffs!

[Roverdale]

West Brom equalised.. results aren't looking too bad for Rovers today. Might not be getting any luck in our games but seems the other bottom teams are having a tough time too. ITS NOT OVER

[Nelsta]

bru hit the post again from another free kick.

[moerpho]

At least Roberts been useful since he came on....both he and Roque are looking like a million dollars....no...a trillion dollars....make that: a gazillion dollars! Or maybe not...has he even had a (half)decent touch?

Edit: Croqye off the crossbar! DOH!

[Nelsta]

for god sake santa cruz.
