They are down here at the weekend, playing my local team, Hereford United. Looks like Hereford could finish 2nd in the league for the third season running. Surely one of the most unlucky runs in football, 2nd in the last two years and then miss out during the play offs

David O'Leary to say "We're a young side learning our trade" or something about lady luck

Hughesy, where did you get the fact that we budgeted for being 17th?? I'm sure in the past we budgeted at finishing between 6th and 8th or something along those lines. I'm sure I read somewhere that our wage budget was within the top half of prem teams

We are very difficult to predict. if you looked at our last 6 fixtures who would have had us to beat arsenal and Man U and lose to WBA and a 10 man Everton????

1-0 IN THE BLACKBURNABEU

Just noticed that Bentley is only 19.. he seems to have been around for a while. Thought he was a little older

I've had no complaints with any of my Lonsdale footy shirts. The only one niggle was on last years home shirt as the HSA was stuck on the front like a piece of cardboard. Chuffed with all of the others.

That choice cam second on our vote. to be fair it was only 5 votes off winning. seems like a fairly popular choice

Just noticed that David Bentley has been called up to the England U21 side to face Norway. Well done fella

Well here goes.... I've looked at each of the match reports for Rovers for the whole season. Bellamy has played 1348 minutes of football this season. He has completed 90 minutes 13 times. This means he is scoring once every 122.55 minutes....... Not a bad rate at all

I found those stats Florida Rover, what I'm wondering is how many minutes they have played during those appearances. Bellamy has been sub for a number of his games so may not have played anywhere near as many minutes as another player with 21 appearances..... if that makes sense.

I'm just wondering where Bellers would be standing in terms of goals against minutes played this season. He has 11 goals in 21 appearances, but a lot of those games he hasn't started (He's only started 15 games). I guess Owen would probably be above him and maybe Henry too. I think RVN has played most of Uniteds games so he might not be quite so high up.

It's all gone back to court this week. Should have a decision on either Thursday or Friday. 4 million would certainly go nicely towards a decent centre forward to partner Bellers

Don't think you can really class him as a regular in the Prem can you Waggy, that was after all his first start in the Premiership.... hardly a regular.

I'll leave Ste, Glenn or Paul to answer that one but I am aware of fans websites getting in trouble in the past. Didn't Mike Newell have some sore of run in with fans of one of his previous clubs.... can't remember the details to be honest. We would rather air on the side of caution and ask members not to disclose names.

Just a quick warning. We don't want the site to get shut down and I'm sure Admin don't want to get sued so can we not make allegations as to the names of the two footballers in question. I'm sure there are a number of us who are aware of the rumour and are also aware of the rumoured players identities but can we please keep it off the MB. Cheers, Ricky

I bought mine for full price at the Newcastle game, they were reduced the following monday.... Cheers!!!

So... If they only have one keeper left and can't name one on the bench it might be worth adopting a 'physical' approach when challenging him... get shefki to nail him in the first few minutes and we could see an outfield player in goal. Not that I condone that sort of behaviour, obviously

Osman is also a forward, he will be playing. Don't want Beattie to play as I'm sure he would score past us

Richard Wright has got injured during the warm up tonight. Martyn is already out. Wondering if either of them will be available on Saturday.

Looks like we might be on the way to having one more Roverite. Despite the shocking game Linda's little boy actually really enjoyed his first match. He watched the game in his Rovers shirt and was delighted with his BRFCS.com badge (Thanks Paul, you're a star). Woke him up this morning to find that he had put his Rovers badge on his Pyjamas lol. He has decided that he now supprts both Blackburn and Chelsea now, just have to work on him to drop the latter.

Good idea Tris. It'll be good to see you mate.

I'm keen on the MDA Vario or XDA Mini S. Both the same model but on different networks. Very impressive indeed

SSN have just shown the rovers shirt with Bet24 on the front of it.
