18,220 there tonight Bellamy Man of the Match

A Bellamy header too... a collector's item.

2-0 Bellamy is KING!!!

I think McCarthy will bring Stead on with about 20 mins to go. Fresh striker on against tiring defenders. I hope he gets a good reception, and I hope he doesnt score!!! MGP hasnt trained this week so would guess it's down to lack of 90 minute fitness.

Arca will be picked off if Sunderland go down. He's their shining star in their miserable season. Pedersen off for Peter

It was from Steven Reid's header. Tipped it round the post.

It's a bit of a sorry state for Rovers that their first player to hit double figures this year in the goal scoring charts has been injured for most of the season. Toddy having a good game today.

2nd half kicked off

Stats up to Half-Time Rovers : Sunderland Goal Attempts 7 : 5 Goal Attempts On Target 3 : 1 On Target Crosses 7 : 11 Crosses Corners 3 : 1 Corners Offside 2 : 2 Offside Fouls 5 : 10 Fouls Free kicks 12 : 7 Free kicks Yellow cards - : 1 Yellow cards Red cards - : - Red cards % Possession 62 : 38 Possession %

Gordon McQueen is saying on SkySports that Rovers are fortunate to be one nil up and Sunderland are giving as good as they get. I dont care, we're winning!!!

Who says Bellamy doesnt score important goals!!!

If this game was on Saturday it would be Sky's Game of the Day and all us subscribers would get to see this manificient game. I'll setlle for the 40mins on Match Choice.

Sportinglife claiming 25,484 tonight

I hope Sparky doesnt rest Nelsen again this year... how many points have we taken with him in defence against when he hasnt been there. Go Rovers.... I just have to win the EuroMillions on Friday and my life will be complete.

Win our game in hand and we could go 5th. Good job we won tonight with West Ham and Man City both picking up victories. Anyone with a farewell message for Souness???

I think I need a heart scan... I'm sure it's missed a good few beats tonight.

YES YES YES YES YES YES

Emerton masterclass and guess who then screwed it up!!!

6 MINUTES!!!! Is Phil Dowd having a giraffe???

Just been confirmed on Sky that Bentley's hat-trick is the first against Moan Utd in the Premiership.

They dont add extra minutes for red cards do they???

Ferdinand off!!!

Thanks Flopsy... could do with a bigger drink than that though at the moment!!!

A quote from the official site "Kuqi, his first touch is appalling"

Anyone for a cyberspace stiff drink???
