John quits due to unrest at Blackburn !

Is this what you heard Kammy?

With the exception of O'Neil no exciting names mentioned so far. I can't imagine MON arriving at Ewood as the man is far too intelligent to put up with the Rao family - or they would need to have a complete change of attitude? People don't change their basic culture overnight.

Who would be daft enough to work at Ewood? More likely who is desperate enough to work for the Raos and Kean?

While I also doubt MON will come he is exactly the type of person we need at the club. Some needs to drag this club up off the floor.

With Kean as manager we are doomed no matter who is his number 2.

I have a feeling the announcement maybe Director related,

I did have talks with the club yesterday, but those talks have not yet concluded, so any annoucement will not involve what was dicussed yesterday

Please tell me point 1 was sack Kean?

One thing I do hope is that this is not a ploy by Venkys to save face in the public eye by getting someone experienced in to 'help' Kean do his job properly.

No one in the footballing world will touch Rovers with a barge poll. They know exactly what is going on at Rovers anyone coming in is going to have to run the whole club. They will want more money in Jan as our squad is very poor and of course complete control over transfers. While I can think of several people who could do this and have the contacts to bring in the right people. Would they come to Blackburn? Difficult Difficult times for Rovers Fans.

Yes I want Kean out yesterday but I can't see it happening.

i wouldve risked rovers losing him to real madrid! ;)after all it wouldve proved we were successful.

I completely agree but surely Rovers should have been rewarded in some where. I mean we all know Rovers are smaller than Real Madrid but there is nothing wrong with Rovers getting their cut of the money.

i wouldnt have minded laudrup at rovers!

william's appointed ince instead of him.. cos laudrup would only sign a 2 yr contract. big mistake IMO.

john jensen leaves... SO WHAT!. none of our 1st team coaching staff impresses me TBH!

Laudrup wanted to have a leaving clause example Real Madrid come along and he can leave for free. While agree we missed out on Laudrup with clauses like that its easy to see why JW did not sign him.

The trouble i have with the game is it's harder to fail than it is to complete.

Did you find it easy to read the people you were interviewing?

I am finding it very hit and miss.

Completed LA Noire. Going back through the missions you get a better idea of how everything fits together. Determined to get my first platinum on this game.

Looking forward to Skyrim, looks excellent

I would be very interested in what you thought about the game I am still struggling through? Don't get me wrong its a good game and I glad I bought the original back in the UK. But I do find the game very repetitive.

OK I know I am over 40 and been playing games for way to long but this really does look good. Since Battlefield 2 was one of the greatest FPS of all time, so I have high hopes of BF3.

PES on the otherhand still cant be bothered to pay for the rights to use team names

I know you can add the correct team names and the player names but why should I do it? Just seems cheap if you ask me.

I am afraid this is the model that EA are looking to follow over the next few years, it is very possible that future FIFA's you will be able to buy additional stadiums or worse that some leagues are missing and you have to buy them as DLC. Eventually EA want to make their games subscription based, so you don't pay £40, but rather pay a monthly subscription, video below is from EA presentation this week:

I have no problem with pay a subscription for a game as long as the game is free and the game actually changes with each season and does not become a squad update. Currently I have to xbox's in my apartment 1 for legal games and one for Thai versions that cost 80 Baht, £1.17, $2.65 or €1.86. Currently I have Mass Effect 2 and Bad Company 2 in real games and the rest at Thai versions. Mass Effect 1 and 2 were so good it was unfair not to buy them. Bad Company 2 is the best online FPS on the 360 again totally unfair not to buy them. I have nearly all the EA Sports games in Thai version and to be 100% honest there is not enough change each season to warrant buying them.

I am also a massive fan of Football Manager and again I buy that game it's brilliant and I spend so much time playing FM its just not fair if I don't buy the game. But again the changes from year to year are very small. One of the guys on FM forums has the perfect solution for this. You release a new version of the game ever 2 years and you give away a free roster update with the game.

As an example you buy Fifa 12 and you get the changes to the teams squads free for the 2012-13 and 2013-14 seasons. There are 2 benefits to this idea, 1 it completely removes the idea that games are just squad updates. 2 It give EA 2 years to work on a game so they can really make some changes. I am fully aware that games are so advanced now that its difficult to see what they can add to make FIFA or Madden completely different ever 2 years. But its better than the current 1 year release calendar we have.

6 Courses on a full game? thats really poor on EA's part. Its like releasing fifa with Town Park stadium then saying you have to pay for the rest (though I would certainly buy Ewood Park if it was available)

The problem is software companies are scared to stand up to EA or EA lock in sporting organizations to exclusive deals so people can not compete. Example The NFL they have an exclusive deal and Madden is the only NFL game ever year. The fans know nothing can really chance year in year out so EA get slated for their yearly update system.

The football market is either Pro EVO or Fifa which is better than just one provider but not much.

DLC?

Yeah but is it much different than the old versions?

The main difference is you can play the masters, I loved that as I am not sure that had been done before. But it's basically the same game as last year with a few improvements. But then again I did buy a Thai version of this so even it was rubbish I would have not been worried about the cost.

It was EA that started the whole code to play online. If you dont have the code you have to pay £10 to get one.. Idea is so they can cash in on the pre owned market I think

That is 100% correct and to be honest I can understand why the did that but to release a game with Augusta National Golf Club, Royal Melbourne Golf Club (Australia), Atlanta Athletic Club, TPC San Antonio, St Andrews Links and Pebble Beach Golf Links and then say you can buy extra courses for £5 is a joke

Oh and one of the other big features this year is 3D grass

Downloadable content. ie you pay £5 and you get a couple of extra courses, levels, missions, maps to play.

100% correct for the parts they ripped out of the game.

There is a massive fuss about it on the EA Forums. Hopefully it will be the last time EA Sports do this but I doubt it.

I think there is a demo for the new Tiger Woods game on PSN.

Next game that I am going to buy is LA Noire, it's out at the end of May and looks IMMENSE.

I think most PS3 and 360 owners are waiting for this. It should the first blockbuster of the year. I will wait will for the reviews before I decide to buy it or pick up a Thai version

Anyone got any new ones they are currently playing?

Was considering the new tiger woods but assumed it will just be the same as every years, but slightly polished.

The game is pretty good but there is a limited number of courses. Of course there are loads courses on DLC

I remember some Rovers fans for Euro 96 chopped an England top and a Scotland top in half.

Then again i am sure the LET ran a story about Croatian buying Rovers tops so the could point at the sponsor to get a larger

What bag of sh1t

I downloaded the 3D single player Demo last night and have to say I loved it.

The main game isn't has heavy as Killzone 2 was (some said it was too sluggish - I liked that though to be honest - didn't make me feel like I was hovering). They have also fixed the recoil when you shoot. Killzone 2 you hit the trigger and if you held it to long you would be pointing to the ceiling - not now.

Its still hard as nails as well which I love.

Your team mate is still a little dumb and you see him just wandering out and getting shot to bits all the time.

The 3D really adds to what you are seeing though - especially when you strap the jet pack on. There are not really many pop out moments from what I have seen on the demo but the depth does grab you - you can see right down the length of the gun and you can really feel the difference from where you are and the enemy is.

Will be picking the main game up next week when its out

When you say 3D, does that mean you have a 3DTV?

Sure Rovers can get him in to do the Half Time Draw or involved in some way. The guy put his body on the line every time he crossed the line and played for Rovers. If I remember correctly he was knocked out at Selhurst Park. Top Man need some help and Rovers should at least give him a leg up.

As my football shirt collection is easily over 100, my girlfriend is forcing me to have a clear out...

Therefore I am sticking them on ebay over this weekend.

Rovers ones are:

1997-1998 8 and Gallacher (S)

1997-1998 20 and Croft (M)

1999-2000 9 and Sutton (L)

I shall be putting more on over the weekend so check back for more

Put on a bit of weight between 97 and 99 did we
