Same way as he manipilated himself into the job in the first place. This slug need removing from the club. I hate Rovers losing any match. But I feel that getting Kean out is more important than 3pts v city. At least then we have a chance of survival in the prem and getting the club back. Keeping Kean will only end in disaster.

It's a sad state of affairs when fans start thinking a defeat is the best thing that can happen to the club. Sad thing is I hate the thought of Rovers getting battered but if it removes Kean from his role then in the long run we may stand a chance.

This has been well and truly timed with a "good news week" no one is taking any bit of notice due to Tevez

I am curious to know the hold Kean has over venkys. I cannot help believing it has something to do with the takeover at the very beginning.

As far as I am concerned if Kean has in anyway shape or form influenced the removal of Jensen - taking into consideration Sam's sacked and Keans's rumoured in that as well. All the more reason for chants of Kean out v city. Especially if there is not a replacement assistant before saturday. Make venkys understand once and for all, KEAN IS THE PROBLEM AND WE WANT HIM OUT.

Kean is the problem but the longer this problem continues the less patient I am with Venky's. I can't for the life of me see why they would sack the assistant manager and leave the most useless inexperienced manager we have ever had. Statistically he has been a shambles blaming the Assistant is a disgrace, its what all poor managers do when things go wrong in any walk of life. Kean should have gone with him this just smacks of creating a new Scapegoat for the league position without Venky's having to admit they made a MASSIVE MISTAKE, IN PROMOTING KEAN, THAT IF ALLOWED TO CONTINUE WILL CAUSE IRREPAIRABLE DAMAGE TO THE CLUB. If that happens I will never eve5r forgive them.

All I can think about is how Jensen came out and reportedly apologised for Keans behaviour on Saturday as discussed on another thread and this could perhaps be seen as an act of insubordination on his part by undermining Kean. - pure speculation btw

The whole situation reminds me of the incompetent captain Zapp Brannagan in Futurama who will imediately sell out his assistant Kiff the second anything goes wrong.

You didn't look too far then the other one was on the first page

I did look, I nearly posted it in the music discussion thread by accident. That's the last topic on this board. The search button just said I didn't have permission to use it for some reason.

I looked and couldnt find a thread.

I went to watch The Inbetweeners earlier (In a vain attempt to remain young on my 30th Birthday) and it was really funny but theres a bit which most Rovers fans will like as it shows their displeasure of Burnley and another scene where if you look hard enough you can spot a Rovers badge

Well he's signed up with us until 2015 so he's going to have to get used to it! My daughter was the same when she left home for Uni, now she can't wait to get back and we rarely see her at home. He'll be fine once he's had a few weeks back home.

Id also imagine that because the season is over he may want to visit family and friends or go on holiday which Im sure every other player will do also, just because he has gone home at this time of year means absoloutly nothing, Im sure Salgado may do the same at some point as will N'Zonzi, Emerton, Pederson etc may also do.

Also, there's been very little coverage here (compared to the African Nations anyway) but Australia have made it to the semi-s of the Asian cup. They play Uzbekistan, so you gotta think they should win that! Japan vs Rep. Korea in the other.

I find that odd too, I always thought the Copa America was never broadcasted that well here. The African competition is crap in comparison to the Asian and South American ones.

This was one of the most moving silences I have ever been a part of at a football match, the pictures on the screen of him brought it home that it could have been any one of us. I think the Hull fans saw that and as football fans they observed the silence impeccably, they deserve to be thanked for the part they played.

RIP John Taylor - My thoughts are with your family and friends

RIP Sir Bobby

Like most my age (27) Italia 90 was my first World Cup were I started to take an interest in the game of football. I had started to show an interest in football but this was what got me hooked on the beautiful game and it was Sir Bobby's team that was the main reason. Since that time football has become a huge part of my life and has given me so much, maybe without that England team led by Sir Bobby this would never have happened. Over the years in his interviews he made me smile and I was so sad to see him looking so poorly when he was pictured on Sky at St James when Liverpool thrashed them. He always came accross as honest and genuine which is missing in not only the game but the world these days.

I am truely gutted by today

I honestly do not know how I would feel about this man playing for Rovers. The ideal situation is that this man never gets to play at the top level again which would obviously mean all clubs taking a stand against it. I cant see that happening so then you ask who would sign him and you think about clubs again very much similar to Rovers. Dont get me wrong I am against Rovers having this man play for us but he is only going to play for a club similar to us which means we as we need him should perhaps go for him.

There are no morals in football anymore.

Im gutted

Although I understand your point but from reading that I gather the rugby lad was a amatuer player. Now I wonder what would have happened if he was Johnny Wilkinson or that guy Charlotte Church is with did said deed I really doubt it would have ended up in court.

In football there was that lad from Barrow that got sent down last year for breaking a Bristol City players jaw yet nothing has been done about Bartons assault on Dabo.

All I know is MH is special, he got Benni a argubly better all round player as a strike partner who is younger.

Anyways I really believe at the moment we will go places this year and I hope that Benni plays a huge part in that

If thats ever the case Shilto who cares knowing Mark Hughes we would end up with a Younger better version.

saying that I would be kinda sad, As daft as it seems I kinda admire the guys honesty here.

Id like to think that too. Benni is somthing special and whats more I think there is somthing inside him now that believes that he can achieve big things with our reletively small club. As a fan I love the Rovers, looking at that squad now I dont believe there is one player in there that will not give 100% to the cause.

Anyone played the Stranglehold demo yet this looks tops

Yeah he'll be like a new player, but certainly not an automatic choice in our current midfield. Who's he going to replace? For me it has to be Gamst, if any. Bents on the left and Reid on the right. Not a chance he could dislodge Dunny/Sav at the moment.

That would be a tactical disaster of Steve Mclaren proportions. Taking out a left winger to replace him with a right winger who would naturaly cut inside and on the right wing play a central midfielder which Reid IMO is most comfortable. we would lose our natural balance which is why we look so good at the momement. Admittedly we may need to do this at some stage of the season if forced but until that time comes Hughes should stick to the Natural balance of the team and play players in their best positions and if that means leaving players out so be it.

Reid will get his chance because he is a quality player and the great thing is we dont have to rush him back instead we can nurture him back to full fitness and ensure there is less chance of another injury breakdown

Truely a great man. I think he would be proud of the way the club is being run these days

Ive been offered a core system with memory card and tiger woods for £140.

Should I be tempted or save up for the full system?

Can I still go on-line with the core system?

You dont need a HD to go on Live but you will obviously need it to download content such as essential updates(so gears of war is now patched so you wouldnt be able to play that) etc. You can get a HD for £70 so you'd be looking at a £210 outlay for a 360 which is not too bad but could get a better deal for a second hand one.

My youngest son has just decided that he wants a PSP for christmas. What do I need to buy as extras to go with it so he can do anything with it such as music, movies and games. Does anyone use the sandisk memory sticks as they seem to be a good deal compared to the Sony ones? Any other tips that could be useful? Thanks.

Get him a Hard case, as PSPs do not take to kind to bein bounced at all, trust me Ive seen too many PSPs with a cracked screen and the LCD screen does not take it very well at all.

Well I was playing this at work the other day and I must say I was disapointed. As someone said they have rebuilt it from scratch. I was waiting for the 360 version but I feel let down by the PS2 version as its basicly still the EA production values of flash graphics tweak the gameplay ( I know its been rebuilt but its the same game) and of course throwing so much money on licencing so it appeals to the massses of arrrrrrrrrrr innit brigade.

fortunatly Pro Evo is out on 360 at the end of the month

I stumbled upon this on YouTube and this was when you knew nothing was going to ever be right with this particular season.

Just cause looks pretty decent, the aim is basicly you are an agent of some sort trying to overthrow a Government. It has that GTA free Roaming Element to it but to give you an idea of how big the map is it is about 10 times the size of San Andreas and 3 times the size of Oblivion.

Its not a game thats going to be famed for realisem and the main charachter seems a little bit wooden in his movement. But playing the demo it seems fun.

XBOX Live unplugged is out today. but only has 6 poxy games on it
