Probably just resting him for the European cup games this week? [are there any]?

Should never allowed Neill to take a penalty. He's awful.

Disappointed with rovers deals this summer. Too many gambles - Ooijer, Jeffers and Henchoz. Even McCarthy to an extent. We needed to build on last seasons squad with 2/3 real quality players. Can't see that we have done that.

SU 2 - 2 rovers.

BRFCS are pleased to confirm that Rovers have announced that Dutch International defender Andre Ooijer has signed from PSV Eindhoven on a two year contract. For all the latest news on all Blackburn Rovers related chat, read the BRFCS messageboard Here

Rovers 1 Everton 3

Don't need to go back at all, now Eh?

Andy Todd's red card, given during Saturdays' depressing defeat at Portsmouth has been overturned. He will now be available to take his place in a back four desperately needing reinforcements because of injuries to key players, although rovers are still hopeful that Zurab Kishinashvilli will be fit to partner Andy Todd. Current press stories also indicate that Andre Ooijer will sign for Blackburn Rovers within the next 24 hours. Keep up to date with all the breaking news on BRFCS.Biz

Yeah, it said that as well.

Nah Stu. Official text.

Hughes is hopeful that Zura will be fit for the Everton game.

You REALLY think they weren't bothered? Could it not be that they weren't good enough on the day?

I don't think so. It is something he's going to be charged with by his detractors though. As well, or as bad as he plays.

Todd's challenge was perfectly timed. He put the ball out for a corner. Neill's was probably fair at two yellows, although the second one was a push, on the half way line, out on the touchline. Pompey were committing fouls all afternoon on Roberts and Benni, with little punishment. Johnson was guilty of a terrible two footed foul on Pedersen. Ref gave no foul, hence no booking. Having said that, the difference between the two sides, was that Pompey defended far better than rovers.

It would only cause more to lapse if it carriees on though. Don't you think? The club have been asked by some people to take that route. they would have no credibility at all if they only wanted home games banned. Also, how many landlords would oblige? Not many I don't think.

The club are well aware of that SG. They had to make a decision - allow more and more fans to watch in the pub, or take the publicans to task. They are doing the right thing IMO.

The problem seems to be only in the Bolton/Blackburn area. Pubs have been taken to court, but magistrates have cleared them. It seems to be a misruling by local magistrates.

Insist that Pubs don't break the law. There really is no defence for pubs showing rovers games illegally. The landlords know what they are doing and if they are taken to court, that's their problem.

Sorry FLB, I was being sarcastic. The guys who watch regularly in the pubs, will simply blame the club for relegation. It will be nothing to do with the falling gates and lack of supporters money - in their view. Nothing anyone else says will cahnge that.

Nelsen back sooner than expected

It'll be rovers fault Mum.

The recent discussion about Brett is being misinterpreted by those who don't like him. It stems from Stevens post here: Not many deny that he hasn't been great, but the point is that for some people, he NEVER does anything good. Patently not true is it? A bit like some people who said Neill was totally useless. He patently isn't useless either. Don't hide behind the "I don't think he's played well since he's been here" argument. We all know that, but he does have some qualities. Any of his distractors care to name some of his qualities? Or can you see none whatsoever?

Pompey 4-1 Rovers.

Rovers don't have a choice with sky. They DO have a choice with illegal TV broadcasts though. Simply because they are illegal.

Strange post Des.
