What is most concerning is that Hughes said wewere the better team and DESERVED the win. What game was he watching? We looked ###### poor from the off, and totally lacking in ideas. Injuries has without doubt played a big part in this, but I just hope Hughes doesn't GENUINELY believe we were the better team /good tonight. It was like watching the first half vs the Geordies all over again, and we were lucky their finishing was so bad. I really, really hope Hughes is slating them for that display and that was just for the cameras what he said. This display WILL not suffice in the premiership.

Last night was one of the most inept performances I have seen. Looked like we couldn't be arsed half the time. The rest of the time we gave the ball away needlessly, lacked ideas passion and commitment. Having heard reports of how crap Charlten were at Sheff Utd, surely this was a chance for us. But oh no Rovers as they always do surrender to a team that "needs the win more". Why do we always do this?? West Ham, I knew we'd get beat! Christ they had like 8 defeats in a row.....don't worry here's Rovers in town to help you out! Same with Charlton. When is it we play Watford away??? Cause they'll need a win, and we'll probably surrender there too. Bentley has been terrible ever since someone told him he was having a good season. Pedersen, nuff said already..... Brad, although he made a few saves WHAT IN GODS NAME WAS THAT WALL ALL ABOUT?? That's 2 things we have confirmed as a result of last night's game. 1) We are always there to gives struggling teams a hand for 3 points. 2) We always concede goals form free kicks. Ooijer says it was a good free kick! My arse! The wall was a disaster and they have to take collective responsibility for that. And another thing how much fannying about do we do in defense! Christ sake man. We need Nelsen back PRONTO. Otherwise we are relegation fodder. Don't give me all this crap about the game being played on a Tuesday, it is too close to Saturday's game. That doesn't wash wish me when Wenger & Benitez say it, and so it doesn't wash either when Hughes says it. They are professional footballers getting paid a bucketload that train every day to compete in matches.

A few clips from Feyenoord the other week: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BxwAh57HBgA

Might seem like a daft question, but anyone know if there is a fans game organised for this trip???

Even when we fkn get them FK sake Embarasing dont cut it CHRIST 2 stikers MISSING penalties.....bloody disgraceful

It always seems to happen against them. Diouf conning for a pen the other year, and 2 pens not given this year.... The off the line incedent could go either way but the game is abogey

27,000+ just heard there

Diouf is a complete tosser. Dives about and gets a pen....crunches Brett and gets away with. Typical. A complete arsehole.

I took some photos - Not great though. The video clips were better! With the "s**t ground no lights" chant when the lights went out! MY BRIEF REVIEW OF SALZBURG GAME (I really must call them RED BULL Salzburg, due to the ridiculous over-commercialisation of their team. (How American is that!!!) - But their traditional home kit is PURPLE is it not?? Not their away kit. Imagine the blue & white halves were axed??? Man of the match by a country mile was Tugay. He absolutely ran the show. One of the best games I've seen him. He was involved in everything! +'s 1) Tugay, as above! Either the instruction was "just give it to Tugay!" or else the rest of the team just felt comfortable passing it to him..who knows! 2) Savage had an impressive game, and prompted a comment to me by a Salzburg fan "who is your number 8? We really like him" ......now how many away fans say that of Mr Savage!! What a free kick, I was shocked!!! Put the camera away at that point casue I thought: "It's Savage. There's no way this is goin anywhere!!" 3) Brad - A few important saves and a solid showing. - Like the "he's got big hands" chant!!!. Lets hope he gets through to Zurab next time when there is no danger and the ball should be his! 4) 2 AWAY GOALS!!! -'s 1) Benni - Quoted as saying the best is yet to come. I bloody hope so! Ok he was a lone striker and neither Pedersen nor Bentley's supply was up to much but is he fully match fit? HE seemed to lack sharpness and WHY OH WHY WAS HE NOT CHASING EVERY BALL, EVERY PASS BACK TO THEIR KEEPER! Their Keeper (as has already been mentioned on here) was hopeless! And although certainly not as naturally gifted or clinical, a certain Mr Dickov (or Kuqi for that matter) would have made the keeper pay! 2) Bentley - Ok they kicked him everytime he got the ball almost! But a poor game nonetheless, gave the ball away a lot. 3) Gallagher - Ok a new role, but can do better than that. I'm glad he's in our squad but always seems to more effective coming off the bench. 4) Defence without Admiral - Although Zurab and Ooijer did ok, no Nelsen in there is a concern. Hopefully Oojer will improve, and I do rate Zurab! 5) We should have buried them in the 1st 30 mins of the second half. We just didn't look hungry enough to go for a third, and ultimately their last 10 mins onslaught brought them a deserved goal (after hitting post twice). Although we should have been out of sight by then - arrrrrrgh!! Salzburg is a really lovely city. It is really clean, the folk are friendly, and I just hope not to much damage (EITHER WAY) was caused by incedents in the Shamrock & O'Malley's bars in the centre of town. I didn't come across any trouble, but then my hotel was 10 mins walk from the ground and not need to get in that "sardined up" shuttle bus!! Scotty! Having just posted my review I note your prior one! (Didn't see it before I posted mine!! Can't believe how many similar things you noticed!!!!!!!!!!

What time does the game in Salzburg kick off (Austrian time)???? How far is the Stadium from the airport? And does anyone know if you can get easy transportation from the airport to near the stadium???

The fact they have Ian Wright on shows a lack of respect for the other nations in the competition. You are watching analysis of the DUTCH match, you expect discussion about the DUTCH MATCH! FFS!! Not to say Robben had a blinder and 30 seonds later start goin on about how England are doin this hat and t'other! Lineker should be a pundit no more. Wright shouldn't even get a look in. That guy from Sky Jeff Sterling is the best front man out there bar none.

What a complete and utter tit this guy is. Now for starters we have had is England this and England that RAMMED down our throats for weeks now, but this guy takes the biscuit. I can respect that it is hard for English presenters to be impartial (and I include Hansen in that - cause he right loves England!!) but Ian Wright is just a bawbag commoner. "I just don't care about all the other nations, just England, who cares about the rest of em." I think the covergae has been EVEN WORSE this year than before I mean how many times do they mention that year in the sixties?? Is it really necessary for the neutral viewer to hear chat about ENGLAND during EVERY other game in the tournament? I can expect the odd mention here or there obviously, but BBC have now got worse than ITV for employing such idiot thug tits like Ian Wright. Lineker is obviously totally biased too, but isn't in your face like Wright. In summary - Lawro is a godsend to the world of punditry by comparison to Wright.

It ain't Walker!! If it were I'd be forking out a few bob to help Rovers! So anyone know of any pubs that would show the F1?? I know its a bizarre question, but it'd be good to know!

This may seem an odd question but will any pubs near Ewood be showing the FORMULA 1 prior to kick off for the Man City game? Dunno how many folk here are into GRAND PRIX etc, but really fancy watchin it pre-match! I know all the games are due to kick off at 3, so it wouldn't clash with a 12.45 Sky game for instance.

Ya dancer!!! Great win, after a BIG dip in form! We were superior big style today against a strangely despondant Charlton side. Good luck to Mr Curbishly btw, a gentleman and a true positive for the game that we lack in many characters today.Wished we'd scored more cause we had the chance today to do so and they were very stand off-ish and down the flanks we should have taken em to the cleaners. Would have liked to have seen Sergio P cme on for the last 10 to do his shizzle down the left!! May have brought us one more. GD all important with the Geordie B's nippin us close! Best performance since Spurs at WHL, and like first Premiership win in London since god knows!!! Tugay huge + today! So too Reid, who has got better as the season has went on, and I'm defo not his number 1 fan!! Lets not get too much into the debate over MGP's dive. I've seen fr worse this year from eejits like Joe Cole, Drogba, Robben, Reyes, Pires, Ronaldo, Sergio Garcia, Jens Lehman.....but to name a few! Good news that Mr Rooney is injured! As I am a Scottish Rovers fan hoping England get gubbed at the World Cup! Although you do have a class bunch of players even without Rooney (who will probably recover anyhow)....and the fear is there! COULDN'T HACK ENGLAND WINNING THE WORLD CUP, WE'D NEVER HEAR THE END OF IT FOR ANOTHER 40 YEARS!!! Mon the Rovers, get it up ye England!!!!!
