Typical predictable comments section, starts really well with a bit of sense, sympathy even then quickly decends into ill informed bitter pathetic nonsense.

Its the tabloid article Blackburn Rovers bingo again in any comments section

Shame what's happened there                  Terrible foreign owners            Now at natural level

Deserve it for treatment of Kean                Great club ruined                     Bought the Prem

Never a big club                                            Another let down by FA            Give them a chance

Nice kit                                                            Not a football town                  No fans

Etc etc

It would be funny if it wasn't 80% bitter dingles clogging up every article response section.

The "they deserve it for the treatment of Kean" one pisses me off the most 

Any other negative ones are down to jealousy from lesser clubs. The one above is due to not understanding on a basic level what happened, so why even bother commenting? 

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

I'm sorry to say but reading that article brings back bitter memories and resentment...nothing more nothing less.The anger is still simmering under the surface regarding their arrogant mis-management of this club.

I want to enjoy this promotion and have put these Venky Ham Shankers temporarily to the back of my mind.

I wish we could never mention their godforsaken name again in connection to Rovers.

Not a football town. 

Would love to see an example of one then!

 

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

The most successful Town club in England.

It never happened.

Conn should really investigate why the trustees were "reluctant" with money that wasn't even their own. Not gonna bother asking a rhetorical question to get the obvious answer.

[JHRover]

I enjoyed that article. David Conn is one of the best football writers around. He actually deals in facts and investigates things rather than our friend in the gossip columns linking players for transfers every Sunday.

Another one of his stories from 2008 re. the Trust.

To be fair that comment was written by Coco's Dog.

Dogs are so loyal, writing in support of an owner who denies his/her existence........and eats dog food himself.

That one always makes it in these comments, must be from Rovers own full time obsessed dingle John Claret from that other non footballing town.

[Mattyblue]

It's a Dingle-ism, can spot it a mile off.

That episode, and the sense of injustice at how it was reported has completely changed how I respond to goings on with fans at other clubs.

As much as everyone's had a go at Newcastle/Villa/Whoever fans in the past, the K**n scenario made me realise that nobody understands what's going on at a club as well as its own supporters.

So true.

A good article. Rovers are beholden to Venkys. If Mowbray ca'nt give them a good sell it could be a rough year.

Comments are comments. I did like this one though;
