Is this the same "pedz" who hasn't managed to link up play up front positively in his last three outings? v. Arsenal - nothing v. Palace - OK scored a goal that was laid on a plate (but that he almost contrived to miss) and not much else. v. City - nothing bar long throws and the odd easily gathered corner. This guy's hardly prolific ability to score goals is his only saving grace. I myself will be somewhat dissappointed if Pedersen is still an automatic first choice next season. Tugay - still the best passer of a ball in the side, can't understand why he didn't get on against City. Flitcroft - better defensive midfielder than Savage (perhaps not better than Reid, who has improved immensely since treading on the ball against the Turkish no-marks) You should have stuck by your name. How's that then ?

Todd - Van Persie collision was a total accident. Todd instinctively raised his arm to protect himself, otherwise it could have been him with the gashed lip. Had some fun outside the stadium after the match with Arsenal fans, pointing at the ground and saying "look out mate, mind you don't trip over that !!". Some of them even got the joke and laughed. All the spin spouted by Wenger and the Arsophiles in the media is basically them getting their defence in first. Everybody knows they're a bunch of simulators.............even their own real fans. Earlier somebody said that there will be a European Super League within 10 years, my only comment would be "please let it be sooner", then we can get back to some real football. Anybody else find the advert for the Football League inspiring ? The sooner the "big clubs" dissappear up their own, and take their plastic fans and sycophants with them, the better. Here's a few of the truly inspiring fixtures, off the top of my head, that they can look forward to, (all marred by unpleasantness, but at least they had more than 17,500 fans there) Juventus v. Liverpool Chelsea v. Barcelona The Milan Derby Galatasaray v. Leeds Roma v. Man Utd

you really need to change your signature - its a bit silly now

Baba Diawara Fortunately he was only on loan. Then of course: Kevin Davies Ashley Ward Martin Dahlin Richard Wichka(speeling?) Darren Peacock Neil Croft Dailly Gillespie ( the deepest winger in the history of wingplay) Ken Beamish (Beamo,Beamo,Beamo) and on and on and on and some that I've blanked out of my mind...... Namely Dwight Yorke !!! God knows we've witnessed some sh!te down at Ewood, but let the good times roll again next season.

Kicker Conspiracy - The Fall (despite the location of the accompanying video) No music of any kind during each half (That includes you drummer boys) And finally..... T U R N I T D O W N !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Don't mind the blue shorts but would have preferred them with white socks (like the kit that we wear when we go to Old Trafford) I'd take that as the home kit every year. Tradition says white shorts, but that MUST be with blue socks, otherwise the kit ends up looking like Leeds' kit with a blue vertical band on it My best experiences on away trips have come when we wear black and red stripes. Particularly the 92-94 away kit with black shorts and red socks. The red sleeves spoilt the kappa kit for me. Quite like the black and red halves idea, with black shorts and red socks. Blue and red halves would be too much like going back to school, although I have played for the same team as Beattie..................only many, many years before he did.

Blackburn Youth = mainly Highercroft Mill Hill Youth = mainly Mill Hill More like 17-18 years ago. Certainly pre- "Blackburn Raves / Hardcore Uproar" and availability of MDMA.

Monday 12:15 Just rang TO at dinner-time, so would expect phones to be at busiest. When I rang earlier in the week at this time, I was at position 67 in the queue. Pressed <1> then <9>...............straight through, no queue !!!! Only the odd single left in BBE lower, about a thousand left altogether.

Why is the ticket office issuing paper tickets when we have a state of the art, computerised, proximity pass season ticket system ? When did The Fimbles start working at the ticket office ? Ding ding ding Ding ding Ding ting. Ding ding ding Ding ding Ding ting. "Your are in position.... a long way back in the queue........ Some people who couldn't find the North-West of England on a map are in front of you."

I bet you, that they won't price them that low. You have the cheek to compare loyalty, someone who threatens to chuck his ST because the team got relegated isn't worth any preferential treatment from the club. Having a season ticket IS NOT a pre-requisite for attending a football match. Plenty of people who come to watch Rovers don't have season tickets. Not renewing my season ticket doesn't mean that I won't be going to games. It will probably mean I will be able to save some money. I didn't have a season ticket before Ewood was rebuilt because you didn't need one. I DID keep my season ticket last time we got relegated. You're quite right, no loyalty deserves...............no loyalty. Just a suggestion - try to think before posting.

I'm sorry, but when have Rovers been offering tickets for a tenner for every match? The ST is by far the cheapest in the Premiership and cheaper than most clubs in the Championship. I guess Rovers are just so distracted by attracting new money, eh? They WILL be giving them away i.e. it will happen in the future i.e. it hasn't happened yet. Apology accepted.

"If you've been away this season twice and held a season ticket you'd have got one, simple as that." So you think somebody who is a a first-time half season ticket holder who went to Bolton and City this season deserves as much loyalty from their club as somebody who has been a season ticket holder for 13 continuous seasons and has been to innummerable away games over the seasons. "This is an away fixture why should home FA Cup ties count?" What about Cardiff, I'm sure that fixture was played at.........Ninian Park............which is..........an away fixture. I want to go to an FA Cup tie for it's own merit, not just because we've drawn Burnley. "Spot on by the club even if i didn't get one" = "It doesn't matter how much you take me for granted, I'll still be there like an eager puppy"

Yes they could have made it fairer. Why didn't they let supporters (my friends and myself included) with stubs from the other FA CUP TIES to get their tickets for this FA CUP TIE first ? What about showing some loyalty to people who have held season tickets for season after season, and have also been buying tickets since 1975. This time, a first-time half season ticket holder who went to Bolton and City could get a ticket. This morning I have taken time off work, been on the phone for TWO HOURS and got CUT OFF when I got to position 1. My impression is that BRFC are so distracted by attracting new money that they neglect to look after the supporters who have been coming year after year. I definitely won't be renewing next season if we get relegated, because they will be giving tickets away again at £10 a go for EVERY match (bar, Burnley) which is a TOTAL INSULT to people who fork out for a season ticket. Let's see BRFC attracting new money then.

Got to position 1 BUT "Thanks for calling, unfortunately the service selected is currently busy, please try again later" WHAT A F*@KING JOKE I've just spent TWO HOURS on the phone trying to get through and waiting patiently in the queue to get CUT OFF when I reach position 1 !!! WHAT AN ABSOLUTE SHAMBLES !!! I'm trying to get tickets for a group of people who have had season tickets for 13 continuous seasons. After this experience and the sh!t on the pitch we've had to endure this season, I am seriously considering not bothering next season. TWO HOURS WORTH OF PHONE CALLS TO GET CUT OFF !!! I'M ABSOLUTELY FUMING. Premiership club, League Two administration. PATHETIC

Twenty Two in the queue 26 positions in 25 minutes - ooer

In the queue now thanks. Couldn't get in it before because of everybody else taking a shortcut !! No. 48 in queue.

Ringing since 08:59 still can't get through 10:00 "Thank you for calling Blackburn Rovers. The following options are designed to connect your call more quickly" (What a joke !!!) Press <1> Press <2> blah blah blah blah blah drone drone drone drone drone blah blah blah blah blah drone drone drone drone drone blah blah blah blah blah drone drone drone drone drone blah blah blah blah blah drone drone drone drone drone blah blah blah blah blah drblah blah blah blah blah drone drone drone drone drone one drone drone drone drone blah blah blah blah blah drone drone drone drone drone blah blah blah blah blah drone drone drone drone drone blah blah blah blah blah drone drone drone drone drone blah blah blah blah blah drone drone drone drone drone blah blah blah blah blah drone drone drone drone drone blah blah blah blah blah drone drone drone drone drone blah blah blah blah blah drone drone drone drone drone blah blah blah blah blah drone drone drone drone drone blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah drone drone drone drone drone one drone drone drone drone blah blah blah blah blah drone drone drone drone drone blah blah blah blah blah drone drone drone drone droneblah blah blah blah blah drone drone drone drone drone blah blah blah blah blah drone drone drone drone drone FOR A MINUTE AND A HALF !!!!! Then " Thanks for calling, unfortunately the service selected is currently busy. Please try again later" Why do we have to listen to the same long-winded message over and over again (I must have heard over 30 times now), before we're told that the service is busy ? PATHETIC.

GROSSLY overrated footballer. We had our pants taken down by Souness and the rest of the Rangers shareholders when we bought him. I'm very pleased that the board held out for £5,000,000, which is a great price for a midfielder who never would have made any great impression on the Premiership. As for his "I want to go home mummy" reason for leaving...................PUFF.

Watched Mokoena for the first time last night. I have to say that on that performance he is no more a central defender than a fork is an implement for eating soup. He improved marginally after Zombie came on and was pushed up in front of the back four, but his best contribution came after the final whistle when he managed to walk off the pitch in a straight line. Not impressed.........how did he manage to make "Team of the Week" after the Pompey game ?

Gallagher's "goal" reminded me of the one that Ronaldo scored in the 2002 World Cup Final against Germany. The only difference on that occasion was that I argued that his goal was offside when it was given.

I read the article roversmum and thought it was the best thing to come out of Burnley since the M65 was built, and we carried our three points down it.

My kind o' poster you are buddy There again I'm a rabid racist bully-boy... Nice to see another intolerant fascist join us here... You take the Yids and I'll deal with the Coons... WELCOME................... @#/? Before telling tashor he's a @#/? it might be worthwhile reading some of his other posts - this would give you a flavour of his style. A style that is referred to above. Everyone: While I'm at it this is a topic that always raises the level of debate. It would make life simpler if the personal insults that a number of members have made could be stopped. It isn't necessary and defeats your own arguement. Thanks I post a few observations on here about Dwight Yorke being an absolute waste of oxygen as a footballer and a father, and that automatically makes me a racist, a bigot and an intolerant facist. I didn't start the personal insults, nor will I be turning the other cheek. Do you think tosher has done me the courtesy of reading, never mind comprehending my posts? Please point out where what I've said automatically labels me with any of the above stigmas. I'm neither obliged nor wish to read the rest of his posts because from that one post I've made a decision that his observations and style are warped and unamusing. I was originally asked a rhetorical question, by Tris, about what I'd do and gave a rhetorical answer. If you don't like the rhetorical answer don't rhetorically verbally abuse my wife and kids. Can't the PC brigade see that the treatment that I've received from them on here is exactly why a SIGNIFICANT proportion are absolutely sick of having the "Kick racism out of football" message rammed down their throats. It's this obsession with political correctness that for some people only serves to undermine the efforts of those striving for harmony. Was it necessary for Mr Yorke to insist upon a pressing charges? Couldn't a more positive message have been sent out by meeting with his abuser and offering a joint press release ? Have either he or Steve Bruce exonerated BRFC? Didn't you ever do something while you were drunk that you later regretted? The evidence suggests that Dwight Yorke has.

I don't think I'm being unreasonable if I take the whole of a post that starts by directly challenging me and twisting my words as a personal attack. I was asked a rhetorical question and gave a rhetorical answer. Tristran himself implied that the reaction wouldn't be rational, and I agree. However, whilst the reaction might be irrational the execution of retribution would be clinical. If you think that protecting your own family, however they may be hurt, is less important than protecting the hurt feelings of a millionaire footballer, then you live in a very very different world from me. In fact the world where personal humiliation is a far greater moral crime than not caring about the welfare of your own progeny is exactly the kind of world that Mr Yorke lives in.
