The guy has played in the spl. Has some prem league experience and has an international cap scoring against the world cup holders... Yet an 18 yr old nomark striker from the lower portuguese leagues (even kean made a living over there!)starts league and cup games ahead of him. Id be brassed off as well.

Not saying he's the answer up front but by christ he should start ahead of edhino.

Just like to say good luck with this to all involved. Great to keep the tradition going. Unfortunately I'm off on summer hols that weekend but really hope you get a good turnout.

ONeil as manager would be ideal. Certainly wont come as no 2. Who on earth would consider veing keans no 2? He has no pedigree, no prolific football career,no international experience, is hated by most fans and has a crap record. Throw in our league position and lack of club structure, I cant imagine there would be any quality applying.

Lets just concentrate on getting kean out this weekend and get a manager and assistant who know what they're doing.

Perhaps another Scottish Number 2, With both Managerial experience and assistant experience, but more importantly Prem experience.

Archie Knox

Bowen.........with Hughes as no.1

Big question is if Rovers lose and the crowd turn against Kean on Saturday will he survive.

Let's hope not.

A very sad day.

Deepest sympathies to his family

LT says the work-permit thing is dragging on and therefore benni won't play against us.

Benni

Taken from the above Telegraph piece..

"Stoke City’s James Beattie remains on their list of targets to replace McCarthy, although his similar style to Jason Roberts, Franco Di Santo and Nikola Kalinic may see Allardyce opt for a forward player in a different mould.

And Manchester City striker Benjani would appear to fit that bill and is believed to be being tracked by Rovers."

Can someone explain how Benjani is any different to Roberts??

Sell benni to fund a move for di santo who can't score for ###### but runs about alot...good call

20 year old talent versus 32 yr old has been.

Seem to remember people saying similar things about Sinama Pongolle (runs around a lot ((very quickly)) but can't score). Bet you'd have him back now though. Di Santo would be a cracking investment.
