[Archived] Keith Andrews football legend

[ABBEY]

Another 2 million to line the other 7 million of the chicken scums feathered pockets!!!!!!

Venky scum!

[Amo]

If Andrews is the answer... what the HELL'S the question!?!?!

[Sparky Marky]

IF he performed like he is now at Premier League level, those wages would be justified.

We should be keeping hold now.

Dream on mate...he's shyte and always was. We should.be aiming for Zamora to partner Yak in january..

[ABBEY]

Venkys say messi!!!

[USABlue]

How on earth did that happen?

For all John Williams' strong points, I'm amazed at how quickly he was prepared to offer average players long contracts on high wages.

Surely based on trust in his manager.

But he also keep playing players contracts up to date and under control.

Of course I expect Hoillet to sign in 24 hours

[Rovers_Dan]

bring back keith!

our midfielders barely ever score, least he's got a shot on him.

[eire3382]

When we go down we will be very glad to have him back.

[Amo]

And people say football fans are fickle....Pffft!

Considering the players we've been linked with recently, Papakouli Diop, Stephen Appiah etc, it is perfectly reasonable to want Andrews back at Ewood. There are fans that didn't even want him out in the first place, I'm one of them.I certainly don't trust Kean/Venkys to replace him with someone better.

Our center midfield has not looked good this season, and Andrews is currently both 1)injury free and 2)in very good form. He would probably have a good chance at becoming an instant first team regular if he returned.

As someone else said, he should also be highly motivated to perform with the European Championship coming up in the summer.

[Amo]

Andrews is no better than what we already have. Yes, he's having a good spell of form in a struggling Ipswich side. I'm sure Pedersen would look the bees knees there as well.

People are grasping at straws here.

[patrickvalery]

This tells you everything you need to know about Rovers on field problems.

I've got nothing against the man and i felt his shabby treatment from the home faithful was appalling at times. But the fact remains he isn't good enough. I hope for his own sake he stays well away from Rovers. He's doing very nicely at his own level. Why bugger it all up by returning to aid our freefall and shatter his confidence.

Good luck to you Mr Andrews.

[Pelio]

The way we're heading, we gonna need to hold onto this guy. 9 goals in the Championship so far this season, he'll be one of our top players!!!

Christ! I think I've convinced myself we're down...

[Rovers_Dan]

Keith on his way back next week! WITH AN INJURY!! At least Grella was someone to chat to in there.

Must be packed that room now!

[Plastic Head]

For those who don't know, Keith was not required by Bolton (well they are doing so well aren't they) so has been sent on loan to Brighton.

Since his first start they haven't scored in 3 games and are plummeting down the league.

Just saying.

He'll be retiring soon anyway. Just as well if Shabby Thing is back as rumoured.

[Gav]

Not sure why you've brought Andrews back up, i'd rather have Dunny on 1 leg than Andrews back at the club.

It wasn't Andrews fault he was useless and kept getting picked week in week out by the way, the lad did nothing wrong.

[DE.]

Interesting that old Jonnolad disappeared around the same time as Keef

[Tom]

Is he better or worse than marrow? Both look like busy midfielders who will try hard but aren't that talented

He's made a good living from his lack of talent though so fair play to him

[thenodrog]

Not simply a lack of talent Tom.... more a lack of Premier League level talent.

[jim mk2]

Always grateful to Andrews for a scoring a last-minute equaliser in a 2-2 draw away to West Brom. My Baggies-supporting friend sitting next to me was distraught.

Andrews was a limited player but often took undeserved criticism from supporters. The same fools have got their knives into Lowe now.

[thenodrog]

You should stick to this section Jim.

btw 'know nowts'? Thats one of mine I believe. What is it they sat about imitation being the sincerest form of flattery?

[donnermeat]

Andrews did have his limitations, these are what made him a poor player.

He's ok at championship level (at best) but I'd certainly have him over Marrow.

[Guest Norbert]

You can't say he didn't try. He was pretty rubbish but he did try. Never mind, the boo boys have a replacement in that Lowe.

[PAFELL]

For those who don't know, Keith was not required by Bolton (well they are doing so well aren't they) so has been sent on loan to Brighton.

Where he has only played two - as the third match was v bolton, who he is on loan from. Brighton also had their main forward suspended for 3 matches and the others injured.

Although Andrews isn't the best of players, very average at best. I find it hard to blame ONE player for a TEAM not scoring goals.

[tonyoz]

I always liked him...........largely because he took some terrible stick. He's still unappreciated:

"It came as a bit of a bolt out of the blue as I featured heavily in pre-season. It's all been a little bit strange.

"It was a decision they made and they obviously made it very clear I wasn't wanted at the football club."

After featuring in both of Bolton's opening fixtures of the season, Andrews became aware of Brighton's interest on Thursday afternoon.

"From there it happened very quickly and I arrived in Brighton on Friday evening," the Republic of Ireland international added.

"Nobody really had the decency to even phone me as I was leaving."

"I think I deserve a little bit more respect than that, I suppose. I always felt I'd done things well at that club, been very professional and treated people like I like to be treated.

"To end on that note was a bit sour but you can't be surprised by anything in football."
