right now in my head i think thenodrog looks like this:

I think O'Leary was worse with his "my players are so young" at Leeds

1-1, Shearer for them, Dickov for us

Whooooo! Go Shefki!

Aren't strikers supposed to do this? The only danger Kuqi posed when he came on was that towards his own football career.

sure he's pretty crap, but last season i was saying Stead should play more and Stead has now 0 goals was sold for £1.8 million and Kuqi has 5 goals and cost £0.

so what do we expect for free, he's at least better then Stead, although he looks shocking at times, he has made a small impact.

with a free striker and letting go some un-used players lets hope for a striker, but Hughes is not stupid

not sure about him being crap

but would say if we are playing against 10 men i probably would rather see Kugi, i think Kugi is sometimes truely shocking, and sometimes ok, but when it comes to working hard and trying to get chances, he's probably a better bet then Bently who barely ever has a shot on goal.

yeah we can't really complain too much, he's done a half decent job in a few games, but when he's bad he's very bad, thats maybe why we need another top striker, but they don't grow on trees sadly

i could live with Kuqi being a third/fouth striker on the bench mostly and coming, particularly against the poor teams, i'm still just so shocked at how bad his touch is, its amazing, and i'm sure when he goes for headers he closes his eyes, never know where the ball will go.

a guy with that touch has done extremely well for himself, he obviously makes up for poor quality in effort and determination

i have to say, Kuqi, maybe not all the time, but i think he's probably the worse player i've seen in a Blackburn shirt.

I don't hate him at all, i respect him for his effort and success in this career but my god how did he become a footballer, Belamy in not a different class, a different world to Kuqi

Todd was quality, Nelsen's passing was a bit shocking at times

Prior to Souness arriving Dunn had handed in a transfer request and Jansen had agreed to join Rangers the following summer, but Souness vetoed the moved when he arrived. Duff was also half the player he turned out to be, so Souness did do this club some good.

in Div 1 Souness had a midfield of

Duff Dunn Flitcroft and Gilespie.

i think he was given a good squad, not only that i think he built upon this squad with great signings like Berg, Neil, Cole.

I think it all went down hill when Duff went, Jansen got injuried, Dunn got fatter and some bad signings like Amo etc

but for a couple of years from 2000 to 2003, brilliant manager, then it all went wrong

i've not really said anything about Kuqi but that was probably one of the most shocking performances i have ever seen yesterday, I though Diawara (spelt like that) was bad, but wow Kuqi was shocking, worst game by a mile, totally out his class.

Nice bloke though, probably score next week, but thats how i saw it on Monday, sure he's better then that performance.

on the other side of the coin for 33 years old Dickov was very good, very impressed

Was a the match y'day and was of course absoutly delighted with the performance and scoreline against Wigan. However, i would like to comment on something that has been raised on the official board. I was sitting in the right hand third of the away end and on the official board those sitting near to the stand to our left said that the home fans sang 'town full of pakis'. I thought they were singing 'town full of smack heads', but as i mentioned i was on the other side of the stand. Can anybody confirm what was sung?

its a reason why attendance has fallen i think, when my Dad went to see Blackburn play under 20k was not something that happened , but i didn't think it was so well known, i would have not liked to a be an Asian fan there supporting Wigan, rather nasty.

good point though, he's probably earned sh111t loads on the last 4 years, still wish him good luck at a new club, real shame whats happened, such is life

yeah seeing Sukurc play at Fulham was a great day to be a rovers fan, didn't do much else though.

Bent was pretty good though, funny thing with Bent at every club he starts off on fire and fades badly.

Agreed. This is, and has always been Rovers in a nutshell.

367647[/snapback]

this is every fan from every cvlub in thwe whole world in a nutshell, i mean look at Man U, you will always gets fans complaining about something

its the same everywhere

Bently made some good runs!!, is that what it takes to be a striker for Blackburn these days, how about setting up some chances or having a decent shot on goal. I'm not sure how he gets in the team to be honest, he's very wasteful. maybe he was as cold as me

Dickov did well, a shame Hughes put Bently with him as Bently was hardly in the game and poor old Dickov had a bit tooo much to do

I though both team made allot of mistakes and Fulham got a bit lucky

negative: Bentley long way off a good player, better off at Burnley

Positive: probably Dickov, but then he only had one shot at target, everyone else was just worse. Gray, Tugay did ok

they, no "he" Dailly was sh1t, do people remember him, probably the worse signing in Rovers history making a prat of himself 7 years later.

if i never seen Woy around, its lucky that guy didn't finish us off

never rated players before but have to this time

Freidel-7

Reid-5

neill-7

Zurab-6

Gray-6

Emerton-6

Savage-8

Tugay-6

Pedersen-7

AXE-7

Bentley-6

Dickov-8

kuqi-7

Dailly 10 ******STAR MAN****************

yeah that is sad, i think alot of people have a right to dislike him due to the silly things he did.

although i do think alcoholic's are people with a disease and Best tried very hard in later life to give booze up, so he was a vitcim of his own success.

No.

Don't you think the best player Britain ever produced should be entitled to that?

363156[/snapback]

actually allot of people think he was a waste of talent, i'm not saying i do, so if he was given a gift, he abused it

i'll remember Best, best for saying on live TV "I like to screw", that kind of sums up his attitude

i have a couple of friends from uni who said they saw him p1ssed out his mind down the local every Wednesday

have to say the response to his death is very negative in the office, but a death is a death so...

RIP Mr Best

A myth that I believed in for some time and likely still do.  It's been so long since I've seen him I've forgot.  I still don't think Amo was that bad all round. He came with a bad rap cos of a few huge clangers dropped and we all know that Rovers, unless you are a "chosen one", is no the place to lose that.  That said he can't come close to the ability of what we have now or the confidence they instill in me.

i had such huge arguements on this board about Amo a couple of years ago, i hated him being in the team, but i have really seen him do some shocking stuff. Best defenders are just rocks at the back, that all they need to be, let the full back have a bit of fair, but CB, simple job, DEFEND, he could not do the simple job very well, but he could hit a free kick sometimes, so looked good inconsistently.

best leave him be, not safe to have him in the team, i honestly think he was one of the reasons that the form of Neil and Gray suffered, look how good they play with quality CB's now, its night and day, happens allot with CB's

but the Amo gave his all so we can't complain, his standard is Scotland

Yeah I could be dreaming too! Either that or its the beer I had last night...

i'm amazed every is shocked, we were very good, however in the last year we have been as boring as watching paint dry, and the crowds show that, really hope they pick up now.

Looking at the fact that almost half of the poll said Bellamy wasn't their first choice, and assuming that the first choice was McCarthy [because he was the only other player in the frame at the time], how many people would honestly swap Bellers for McCarthy now?

One hand - a player who knows the prem inside out and is a superb, proven player, on the other hand - a player who is not proven at prem level?

C'mon, anyone still swap?

356199[/snapback]

well for all we know McCarthy might have ten goals by now and not get injuried every other week, so would love to have both considering Dickov and Kuqi look really shocking sometimes.

Bellamy looks quality though, lets hope he can stay fit and judge him over a season not 50 minutes of football
