I thought we played very well, but lacked quality in the final third. Didn't know what to make of Japan though. Their goal was dodge and apparently the ref apologised for getting it wrong, but Schwatzer had to do better than that. The boys looked tired and off pace towards the end. Great subs by Hiddink.

England or Portugal.

Is that in South London somewhere?

Umm this one more so than most.

He is off to Spurs, so what does it matter?!

Here in Oz we have a show called Total Football. Anyway, they had the EPL wrap up the other day and had the top ten goals. Rovers featured in 3 of them with Reid against Wigan number one, Tugay number three and Morton Gamst number six (I think).

I can't believe he received a call up. Oh well, good luck to him.

I would of gone with O'Neill. If he wanted the job that is. I'll gladly take him him after Guus is finished

Crespo started to go down, then he kind of dived forward. I think this put doubt in the refs mind. Rightly so as well.

I thought we played very well against a team who really just flooded the half with their players. The only time they really looked dangerous was towards the end of the game as we were getting more desperate and pushing up. Although we did lack creativity etc, I was pleased with our performance. Carragher was excellent today. Well the more I think about Cisse the more I wish Lucas would slide in break his other leg. Also, whoever the commentary team were, here in Australia at least, how biased were they.

Tugay against Fulham. It was a premeditated attack on goal, executed with sublime skill.

Why do we always play a long ball in the box when Kuqi isn't playing? Bellamy and Dickov are combined height of about 7 foot!

"Second, the mentality. If I see another David Gold interview on the poor East End Jewish boy done good I'll impale myself on one of his dildos."

Man of the match if I'm not mistaken.

Terrible enough

On the 25th August, during the 1997-98 season, we saw Blackburn take of Sheffield Wednesday at Ewood Park. I personally remember this game as I woke up at about 4 am just to watch it. The first season under the management reign of Roy Hodgson, saw Rovers as title challengers for some time during the early part of the season and also saw Chris Sutton as the EPL leading goal scorer on 18 goals. This game had a wonderful atmosphere as Wednesday's away support consisted of their band, who were well known for their rendition of 'The Great Escape'. Rovers were ahead 3-1 after only 10 minutes, with 2 goals from Kevin Gallagher and an own goal from Hyde for Wednesday, who had also scored from the talents of Benito Carbone. Wednesday's misery had been compounded in the first half with goals from Wilcox and Sutton, giving Rovers a 5-1 half time lead. The second half was off to a flying start with a thunderbolt strike from Carbone, which made the score 5-2. Bohinan replied for Rovers, before Carbone, Wednesday's only shining light was red carded for a terrible foul on Gallagher. Not all was going Rovers way, when goal keeper John Filan was stretchered off with a shattered arm after a collision with Des Walker, one which was lucky enough to see Walker reamain on the pitch. Filan, who had been an outstanding player for Rovers until then, was replaced by home crowd favourite Tim Flowers. Wednesday's horror night was further compounded after Sutton claimed his second of the night to make the final score 7-2 to Rovers.

And you guys don't know how lucky you are to see Rovers every other week live. Wish I could

Yer, good idea. Use it as a intro for a song to be sung. Yesterday on the TV I heard them start singing No Nay Never, then as soon as the drums kicked in it died.

To be honest, I don't care about any non Rovers players, except for ex-Rovers players.

Odds on another ex-Rover scoring against us?

Double Ewood Park up as a football ground/Mosque?

A little story for you all. DuR, fresh after a euphoric victory against the Mancs, decided today would be the perfect occasion to wear his 94-95 Premier League Champions Jersey for free clothes day at work. Upon walking to the bus stop, he is greeted by a weird looking fellow who smelt of B.O. The following discussion took place. Weird Guy: Aight. What team is that then? DuR: Rovers. Weird Guy: Eh? DuR: Blackburn. Weird Guy: I'm United me. DuR: Which one? Weird Guy: United..... Manchester. DuR: Bet you're cut after last night? Weird Guy: Why's that? DuR: You know, we beat you 4-3.... Weird Guy: Awwwww, did we play last night? DuR: Ummmm, yes. Weird Guy: Beckham is my favourite player. Cue, DuR turning his back on this guy, revealing a huge Blue and White wall with the number nine. Tosser.

Also, can this go in to Messageboard Gold?

Agree with you. Did they show the game after the Arsenal one on Fox Sports? If so I missed it

Watch us lose to West Brom now
