A sad sad day, rovers fans killing each other. It's an embarassment. How have these people not been found out before as clearly they have been causing trouble for a while. It's taken a tragedy like this which was inevitably going to happen because of these mindless idiots. What to do next? Divide the away support in two? Thats just encouraging trouble. They should be identified and banned. We don't want English football to fall into the same situation as football here, where taking kids to the match is a complete no no....why?...because they divided the support as people said instead of banning them....so we have a stand of 'ultras' (mindless idiots) at every game. One thing we do have here, in the games likely to have trouble is the police set up a courthouse in the stadium. Fans causing trouble get arrested, charged and straight to jail. Im sure the English red tape bull**** would put paid to that idea though. I look forward to the inevitable backlash towards us, so people hate us even more, and hopefully it will make the club act...identify them....cant be that bloody hard...and don't sell them a ticket!!! RIP

There needs to be more effort, using cctv to find these trouble makers and banning them. They aren't welcome and there were probably a few real rovers fans who couldn't get a ticket. What is going on

critically ill..........this is absolutely disgusting. What the hell is happening to our club

Doesn't surprise me at all...i went to my first away game for a couple of years on boxing day and some of what i heard from rovers fans around me was disgusting. Absolute disgrace.

Thanks Mark for a very memorable 3 years. Its been great and we have a good squad. Hughes is only trying to further his career and its a good move...but a gamble. Best of luck.

Ollie: The Autobiography of Ian Holloway Just finished reading this. With so many similar books on the market from overpaid 'handed on a plate' type people in the football world...lampard, crouch etc It was nice to read Holloways story. He is quite honest and talks in detail about his problems managing Bristol Rovers where they sold all his best players and didn't give him any money. The administration times with QPR where he is very keen to point out 'we still did well'. He also goes into detail on his relationship with the QPR chairman and the lies he was told which led to him being put on gardening leave. The book ends a season into his Plymouth career which is quite annoying because as this book was released he moved to Leicsester. He also talks about his lifelong love for his wife Kim and his coming to terms with three of his children being deaf. An interesting read from a man who, although not so succesful, has had to overcome many hurdles in his football career on and off the pitch.

From what ive read im now pretty sure he will go. Its just typical and we can't do anything about it. We can't have an unhappy player upfront for us next season if we block a move. What hapened to 'if Blackburn want me to stay then il stay'...of course we wan't him to stay. He obviously said that thinking we would wan't to cash in then realised were not a selling club when hughes said hes not for sale. He then did that interview in the sun. Bellamy back would be nice but we can't rely on him scoring 20+ again...and if he gets injured were screwed. So we would need two big signings upfront. Looking into my crystal ball.... We will sell McCarthy and Pedersen. We will buy Bellamy, Mido and Harry Kewell. Those signings and sales don't worry me too much but what does is that if this keeps happening Hughes will go. He is gonna jump at the chance ti manage one of the top 4 if and when they come knocking. It must be annoying to do all the dirty work, gamble on a player, get them playing well...then see them walk away.

what a load of crap that post from brownie was. Obviously we offered him more money...jesus christ. Why do people pretend and make things up.

Good luck to him! Hes given us a good 4 years and hes the same as most of us in that we always want to go one better in our careers and try new challenges. Apart from the fact they more than doubled his wages (who wouldnt go for that!!!) West Ham is a much bigger club than ours and he gets to live in London. Hes been in Blackburn for 4 years...not exactly paradise for an Australian (no offence). He doesnt support Blackburn like us. ITS HIS JOB! He has done his job well. He has kept his promise and honoured his contract. He would have played until the end of the season without complaining. Hes been honest and straight with all of us for the last 9 months. Theres nothing wrong with a change of scenery. So hes gone to a struggling club...he gets 60k p/w and they have a good chance of staying up with curbishley...theyve just signed Davenport and are after Upson...they are fine going forward. Liverpool...he would have been a squad player...like bellamy whereas west ham he could become a fans favourite. Im sure were gonna get the usual idiots booing him when he returns. Im sure he expects it but if im at the game il give him a clap. Then watch Gamst skin him.

Absolutely gutted. He played so well last season and helped us get into the Uefa Cup and cant even play a part in it. Get well soon Reidy and keep your head up!

Reading 2 - 1 Rovers Friedel Nolan Neill Oojer Gray Bentley Tugay Savage Pedersen Derbyshire McCarthy Subs..brown, mokoenna, nonda, peter, gallagher

Very happy with the draw...easy to get to I was dreading turkey or isreal...would have been harder games aswell. Livorno would have frustrated the hell out of us. So good draw.

I wish! Unfortunately theres no chance of them getting through. They are rubbish. Maybe Liberec will qualify though.

relegation? trouble?....behave Were playing alright aside from a couple of bad half performances and decisions. We will be fine.

Oojer and Gray were excellent again. MGP...what has gone wrong and why is he starting!!!!???? Im impressed with Jeffers i want to see him start.

Well yes i had a season ticket for the last 3 seasons that weve had Gray and ive seen every game live on tv this season except sheff utd.,..living in the czech republic.

I cant believe some people still moaning about Gray. He was man of the match today and he has had about 5 bad games in 3 years for us, thats all.

Im happy. Good entertaining game, good performance, draw was a fair result. Whats happened to MGP!? I think half his head is in his singing career. Aside from that, everyone else was great.

Mlada Boleslav is a tiny village in the Czech Republic....the football team is so good because they are this countries version of Chelsea. They have rich owners who have poured money into the club. They had a great season last year and are now top of the league...about 5 points clear of Sparta and Slavia who are both quite terrible. The village Mlada Boleslav is also where Skoda is made. Krakow away would be a good day out...great little town!

u listenin to somethin else? stop tryin to post first and actuslly listen to the game.

Prague would be great! We will have a lot to live up to though in the atmosphere area. Spurs were here earlier and Hearts are certainly making themselves known....they have actually taken over the city. So 2000 rovers fans singing and drinking all day pre-match in old town square will be amazing. We will probably end up with a crap draw but theres 3 Czech teams left so we got a chance....Sparta are crap, Mlada Boleslav and liberec are good but easily beatable for us.

Great night A win against the pie eaters would be a nice way to end a good 3 weeks! FINGERS CROSSED for the draw........Sparta Prague, Mlada Boleslav or Liberec away would make my year!

i fully agree...give it savage and nelson when fit. Lucas is really worrying me. Hes definately not giving it 100% just going through the motions.

I thought Douglas looked excellent yesterday, i didnt see the accy game. I really do think we should keep him as part of the squad for next season..if he hasnt done anything by January then loan him out. He could be very usefull.

he seriously touhed the ball once. Didnt impress me, but it wasnt a very good 2nd half performance productive wise (douglas aside)...good runout though.
