Neill acted professionally, he never gave any false promise of playing for Rovers the season after. He also told the truth which fans did not like. If Ooijer is going back for double his wages then fair play to him as he has done everything professionally.

No he has not given any assurances to the fans then bogged off a week later like the two player mentioned.

If Benni had the work rate to match his ability he would never have been within 50 yards of Ewood's home Dressing Room.

Not bad for someone last week was desperate to get away [according to the Daily Mail]

Why don't the mail just say 'Every player wants to leave Blackburn' then they can save themselves some column inches

The only time we've seen evidence of this was last season against Man. Utd. and it did work very well. But I think that was a case of catching Utd by surprise by playing a 6ft+ forward against a 2'3" left back. I don't think it would work if surprise element was taken out by playing every week.

It was good to see Benni used correctly IMO. He has never been a player who chases lost causes so to have him doing another forwards running was never going to work. It just made him look lazy. As a front two, Roberts and Benni have always looked the best combination for Rovers. Sure RSC is a good player but to me he does not gel with any of Rovers' other forwards. This was fine whilst he was scoring goals but this season he has not. Benni also appears to gel better with Pedersen as well where RSC played better with David Bentley. It was just a shame that the four of them could not play as a complete attacking unit. If that had happened as it was hoped at the beginning of last season then Champions League would have been a possibility.

Duff meets the new manager of Newcastle United.................................sorry even the pig turned it down my mistake

IMO he has always been a bit of a one season wonder where ever he has been. He must like travelling! If he has actually said that in an interview and mis-translated then yes he needs disciplining. I said before we should give him until January, but I am beginning to wish we had got shut during the Summer

The more I hear about this plank's book the more stupid he seems. So far he has slagged off all england fans and now he thinks he is starring in the Sopranos!

Plus we still have the South American on trial until the end of the week

Could not agree more on the player's ability. I heard the booing and it only started after McCarthy appeared on the field rather than the decision which was made. At present though he needs dropping completely from the squad to get his head sorted and his weight. If no improvement has been made by January, then there is need for selling the player. Ince will have given long enough without affecting McCarthy's selling price to drastically.
