You can laugh SG194 but he has a point. Your constant rants against our crowds are clearly having no impact so why continue. We'd all like to see Ewood full every week but it's not going to happen and slagging people of isn't going to help.

It would certainly seem that way.

That's not fair, I can't get up to Blackburn that early, any idea why it's been moved from 8 o clock, and why the town centre now?

I know it's always harder to tell when you're in the crowd but i'd be amazed if there wasn't closer to 500. I went up to Sunderland a few years ago for a replay and there was about 250 and there was a certainly more at Everton.

Did you go to that game? I assume not as otherwise you would have seen there were far more than that.

They won't sell 5k it's nonsense. They haven't sold out in years or even come close to doing, in fact I think the last time they did was when they had ten quarters of the ground and 40 million watching from the hill.

It just gets funnier & funnier

This is the view from the BBC "Having collected his first yellow for a foul on George Boateng on 52 minutes, Savage was then penalised for hand-ball two minutes later by referee Chris Foy - even though the ball was drilled at him from close-range." It was never deliberate in a million years, just another faceless clown trying to make a name for himself.

That's a disgrace, sack the board and the grooby. I demand a free season ticket now!!!

According to Sky website the games on normal Sky not PPV anyway.

For a 5.15 game on tv i'd say the crowd was pretty decent, I know admitting that wouldn't sit well with your favourite pastime of slating Blackburn crowds but the crowd was well up on other crowds at similar times. If any of those who came in for a quid pester to be brought back then it was a good move by the club.

Baggies hit the bar in the last minute

Sad I know but come onnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn the baggies. Get in.

Honestly, i'd rather have what I watched today. It's perfomances like today which has really made me enjoy most of this season and start to enjoy the football again after the last few years. I understand there are times when the result is important but if you would accept crap football every week then you might as well go down Bolton. I think it is amazing what Hughes has done with the team. Some of the moves in the 2nd half especially were tremendous. The most impressive thing is that it is the players like Todd, Reid, Neill etc who have come on loads and are obviously having it drilled into them about kepping it on the ground and playing quick simple balls. The defending was once again a week point and as poor as Gray was for the third, Neill was equally to blame.

After a disappointing season just gone and a poor start to this one I was really fed up more than anything with our style of play. Watching the Spanish football and especially Barca was the one thing that cheered me up. I watch far less football than I used to and it has nothing to do with diving or play acting. It is the win at all costs mentality in this country where points are more prized over style & skill. To slate Barca just shows how little you must watch them. It's almost cheesy really but no club epitomises the attitude that style is more important than results more than them. Van Gaal paid with his job because of this, the crowd will not accept poor football as they expect to be entertained, what a biazarre concept. Thankfully Hughes has worked wonders this season at getting us to actually play football and I can't tell you how much more i've enjoyed it. I'd much rather have 11 players who can play and pass than 11 who can run and kick all day and play a so called man's game. Do I want tackling outlawed? Not at all but to deride Barca as cheats shows a level of ignorance beyond belief.

To be fair though Amauseless is genius!!!!! Oh how Peter Kay would kill for gags like that.

ref is Rennie

Whilst not being sat in the Blackburn end I was also at both games and those chants must have been very quiet. Incidentally what did Rufus want to give? Any ideas? Oh yes and Scholes condition is not as a result of his injury, it was discovered because of the injury. United actually said they would not go into detail about his condition because it was not football related.

Exactly, I was ashamed of Gray tonight it was awful and cringeworthy, Del Horno tried to do Messi all first half and got what he deserved. Mourinho trying to justify is laughable blaming Messi, Del Horno was far more theatrical.

Is that sarcasm? If not i must have watched a different game as i've never seen Henry play as hard. As for them hitting us on the break, if we defend like Madrid did with no full backs or midfield we'll be overrun, but we won't defend like that.

Eh up, trouble in the non-pc ranks

Thought exactly the same myself. As soon as I saw it I could tell his leg had gone at a bad angle when he landed but still that muppet was going on about the force of the ball. Has to be one of the worst pundits on tv.

No the place goes to the league, the Runner's-up in the FA Cup would get a place but not the league cup. Incidentally someone mentioned 6th place would get a Uefa place before the cups come into it. Have we had an increase because last year we only had 3 places, 2 from the cups.

If it truly bothers you that much I don't understand why you follow rovers. We will never take the numbers that the likes of Man U, Newcastle etc take apart from one-offs. I'm all for people trying to increase the crowds but the constant whinging about our crowds doesn't have become tiresome. We are Blackburn accept it.

Where have you got the rule that you have to finish 8th or above?
