Will Rovers survive?
 

Looking at the league table Rovers still second from bottom...games in hand and have played well since Sam took over... but playing good has not got them out of the bottom 3! ..when I speak with Rovers supporters they seem to think there's no way they go down... getting close end season now lads and optimism don't get you out of the kak!

Re: Will Rovers survive?
 

The only chance they have of survival is to change from Newton & Ridley.

Re: Will Rovers survive?
 

honestly think they will Mancie! today at Hull is the game of the season though in my eyes, one they gotta win.

Re: Will Rovers survive?
 

wasnt so long ago they got demoted so i dont see why it cant happen again and believe me im enjoying ribbing my son about his switch to blackburn rovers because his friends support them lol

may be time to dust off his MUFC cup as he may be drinking out of it again after this seasons done with


mind you if his uncles get their way the liverpool fc cup may at long last be taken out of its packaging that hey bought him :rolleyes:

Re: Will Rovers survive?
 

you had to win or at least get a result at Wigan a few weeks ago...on what basis do you think you get even a point at Hull? i suppose that is what I'm trying to say .... we have to win there .. we should win here... OK.. but Rovers have to win lots more... and the other teams around you don't just loose games... Rovers are in trouble.. and cash coming from cashy soon!

Re: Will Rovers survive?
 

Have to agree Mancie, I've watched the Rovers to long to know that they are prone to shooting themselves in the foot, they seem to have been defending better since Sam came, but the need to win today or they're up the creek without a paddle

Re: Will Rovers survive?
 

on the basis that we are 2-0 up at half time n cruising so far.:D

Re: Will Rovers survive?
 

62 mins gone n hulls Marney sent off, so that helps my basis.:D

Re: Will Rovers survive?
 

78 mins 1-2:eek:

Re: Will Rovers survive?
 

on the basis we got 3 pts.:D;)

Re: Will Rovers survive?
 

Good day yesterday cashy, made it even better with the Dingles getting Dongled on Saturday, it was easy to see why Alexander has never played in the Prem :D

Re: Will Rovers survive?
 

notice the threadstarter has not returned to the thread since the 3 pts.:D

And the short answer is..................:

Re: Will Rovers survive?
 

Do you mean Mancie has become shrinking violet cashy:D

Re: Will Rovers survive?
 

Think Rovers will stay up, but will certainly be a close one! Still feel it will be West Brom, Boro and stoke that go. But others are dropping fast too ie Hull and Newcastle, and The Toon have got some toughies against the top clubs over the next few weeks....mind you so have we!!

Re: Will Rovers survive?
 

I live in Hull and have been a Rovers fan since 1938 and I went to the game on Sunday..Phil Brown handed the game to Rovers with his team selection.He left his best players on the bench Rovers were a far better team Santa Cruz Warnock and Grella ran the show. I was very impressed with the Rovers supporters There were 24000 at the game but the 2000 Rovers fans sang and supported their team and deafened out the Tigers lot.Very well done and the 3 points will come in handy

Re: Will Rovers survive?
 

Glad to hear you enjoyed the game Jim, ( Bet Prezza was choking on his Crispy Duck after!! Lol!), fingers crossed we'll get 3pts against Everton too!!

Best Regards - Taggy

Re: Will Rovers survive?
 

went everton game and we wasnt that good but we got a point so fingers crossed.

Re: Will Rovers survive?
 

Well I watched Th full match coverage last night on a Sky highlights program, and if we play like that for the rest of the season we'll be okay, Steve Warnock was awesome last night, to me the man of the match, on another day he would have had a hat trick, hit the inside of the post with the goalie beaten then brought two great saves out of him in the second half. Can't say I was that keen on Djouf coming to Ewood, but I have to admit he worked it tail off last night, he was all over the place chasing down, good all round display, jaysay went to sleep a very happy Bunny last night:D:theband::theband::mosher:

Re: Will Rovers survive?
 

Rovers are going down. A disgraceful display against Arsenal. Diouf should have walked for the foul on Almunia and Pedersen should be in the next Norwegian Olympic diving team, how on earth did he avoid a yellow card?

Re: Will Rovers survive?
 

You have the nerve to talk about a Rovers player diving, when you support a team who have the biggest diving cheat the Prem has ever seen in that Portuguese Ponce Ronaldo

Re: Will Rovers survive?
 

Ronaldo does try to fool the referee into thinking he was fouled, he does wait for the opposition player to get within ten yards of him before diving.:D
The biggest diving cheat ever seen was in the days before the premiership. The well-known bog roll manufacturer, Francis Lee.

Re: Will Rovers survive?
 

I still feel Rovers will just about cobble together enough points to survive, but it is going to be very tight. Theres a lot of teams involved in the mix this time, and i feel we are solid enough to grind out results against many of the teams in and around us. Lets not take away, from a damn good display by Arsenal yesterday. As Sam says, our fate wont be decided by games against the top 3 or 4 teams. My gut feeling for the drop still remains, West Brom, Boro and Stoke, and i'm pretty convinced we will finish above Newcastle too, their fixtures are more difficult than our i feel. We do need to start to take advantage of our home games now though which we hav'nt been too good at doing so far this season. I do feel that Diouf was very lucky to stay on, a ruddy daft, needless challenge. And Pedersen will, or should, be well embarrased looking at the replays of his attack of dropsy!! The problem is refs will be more aware of his attitude now and may well rule out future, more valid claims!!....But do agree that Ronaldo is still the cheating supremo!!

Best Regards - Taggy

PS....and as for Fergie saying they were the better team, has he taken to drinking his vino before and during games these days, rather than after!! Comic Relief a day late!!

Re: Will Rovers survive?
 

You Rovers fans can never call Ronaldo again.

Dont put money on it!!:D

Re: Will Rovers survive?
 

Even the Dingles put up a better fight lettin only 3 in. :eek::D

Re: Will Rovers survive?
 

Ya but the Gooners only went out for a stroll in the Park that afternoon Spugs:D

Re: Will Rovers survive?
 

I hope they go down i put a bet on rovers go down dingles go up a double

Re: Will Rovers survive?
 

Guess you'll find out at the end of the season why the bookies are richer than you!!!:D:D

Best Regards - Taggy

Re: Will Rovers survive?
 

I agree with you Taggy. It was pretty impossible for us against Arsenal on Saturday (mind you - would have thought the same for Spurs yesterday!). Anyhow, let´s hope and pray Sam and the boys manage to bang a few more wins in....they say if you get 40pts you are ok and I think we have 30 now....so keep up the good work Rovers!

Re: Will Rovers survive?
 

Looking at the fixtures I'd rather have Rovers than Either Newcastle or Middlesborough red rose

Re: Will Rovers survive?
 

Yes they will. They have quality unlike most teams in their. Would be funny to see them go down with such good players though! To just show to the Premiership that any team can go down!

Re: Will Rovers survive?
 

Quite right stanley even United were relegated only 4 years after their finest hour, no one is infallible an can be relegated no team has a god given right to play in the Prem that's why I dislike fans saying when they are in the promotion race "we will be back where we belong" you earn the right to play in the Prem and you only belong there by your own efforts on the pitch year in year out, being in the Prem and staying there has to be earned

Re: Will Rovers survive?
 

you will never be a rich man, i would have stood yer bet at double the odds ya got off the bookies.:rolleyes:

Re: Will Rovers survive?
 

Rovers v West Ham...spoke to a couple of Rovers fans going to Ewood ..they reckoned a dead cert 0-0..so a point... not good enough.

Re: Will Rovers survive?
 

Have to agree Mancie, we need 10 pionts minimum from 9 games

Home

West Ham
Spurs
Wigan
Portsmout
WBA

Away

Liverpool
Stoke
City
Chelski

Re: Will Rovers survive?
 

looking at the list Rovers should get 10 pionts from the home games...but then again if they don't it's bye bye!

Re: Will Rovers survive?
 

You'll just love it if we get 10 points from our away games Mancie:D

Re: Will Rovers survive?
 

Strange isn't it, how someone could gain so much pleasure gloating over a possible set back for his hometown club. :rolleyes:

Re: Will Rovers survive?
 

Lets hope it is bye bye. Lets hope its Rovers v accrington in 3 seasons time

Re: Will Rovers survive?
 

Ye....then you'll wake up and fall out of bed. :)

Re: Will Rovers survive?
 

Thats no way for a councillor to talk:D

Re: Will Rovers survive?
 

was watching the game at the weekend blackburn vs spurs.
dont know how rovers got anything out of that game. dont remember a quality move from rovers throughout the 90 minutes, was never a sending off, was sloppy goals for spurs to concede, on a negative note rovers did look like a championship side, to many long balls not enough 1 touch pass and move, was no real quality through out the side apart from robinson making some good saves! but i think if u do survive big sam will give you a better season next season!

Re: Will Rovers survive?
 

well if ya watched it, it was never a penalty either, or when awarded it was beyond the spot, yes it was not a good display, they have played much better n got nowt, its called swings n roundabouts, which i thought a dingle would be aware of.:D

Re: Will Rovers survive?
 

typical rovers fan :) abit of a shame you have been in burnley's shadow this season lol. ive watch football week in and week out, season ticket at burnley and watch on tv, burnley at out worst this season ( possibly against doncaster ) have been better than rovers best from the games i have seen. but heh lets stick on topic here:

rovers should survive, see you next season in the prem :)

Re: Will Rovers survive?
 

i certainly hope so.:)

Re: Will Rovers survive?
 

Ya cashy only needing 34 points on the opening day would be a big advantage, as for being in the shadow of the Dingles, always thought that shadows were cast from above cashy, and theyt ain't been above osefor over 30 years now, what do you say:D and I don't wan you singing No Nay Never either cashy:rolleyes:

Re: Will Rovers survive?
 

thats what i meant jaysay, but am far too diplomatic to have said it.:D

Re: Will Rovers survive?
 

Can't get my head round, diplomatic and cashman being in the same sentence:D

Re: Will Rovers survive?
 

Good deal for the last 3 games at Rovers, £20 gets you an unreserved seat in the lower tier Darwen end, less than £7 a match, bargain....come on folks, shout the Blues to safety!!

Best Regards - Taggy

Re: Will Rovers survive?
 

Phew!! Breathing a little easier now, not the best match ive ever been to but the win was the vital thing, three more points hopefully will see Rovers safe!


Best Regards - Taggy

Re: Will Rovers survive?
 

would be surprised if they need 3 more Taggy, though it will be welcome.:);)

Re: Will Rovers survive?
 

Yep it is a bit difficult to predict Cashy, its been a strange old season this one, will be watching the Newcastle game with interest tonight, i expect them to win at home to Portsmouth...if they dont i think their gone!

Best Regards - Taggy

Re: Will Rovers survive?
 

Think I'll agree there Taggy, but I'm not convinced they'll beat Pompey, everyone will have four games left, Newcastle play Liverpool this weekend and Middlesborough play United, not much there me thinks, one more win for the Rovers and we'll be sure:mosher:

Re: Will Rovers survive?
 

i'm sure now john.:)

Re: Will Rovers survive?
 

just watched newcastle 0-0 pure crap.:D

Re: Will Rovers survive?
 

Perm any 2 out of the 4 North East teams to join West Brom now ;)

Re: Will Rovers survive?
 

I sat in a bar in Benidorm when the Rovers were playing Rosenburg and a group of Newcstla suporters were shouting for Rosenberg.
I would love it...realy love it if Newcastle were relugated. :tongueout

Re: Will Rovers survive?
 

Yep, i think the only thing that might just save them is how crap Hull have been of late!! I think Hull play Man Utd last game at Old TRafford if memory serves me correct, mind you Utd might have title sorted before then so would'nt count on em to try too hard!!

Best Regards - Taggy

Re: Will Rovers survive?
 

They play United at home Taggy didn't they push um close at the Theatre of Merchandising earlier in the season:rolleyes:

Re: Will Rovers survive?
 

Well it looks like Shearer has had the same effect on their chances of staying up as he did improving heir trophy count in his time there:rolleyes:

Re: Will Rovers survive?
 

Yep your right Jaysay they did, my grey matter letting me down....again!:rolleyes:

Best Regards - Taggy

Re: Will Rovers survive?
 

I did predict Rovers to finish 16th and reckon that could be the case.... Hull to go down with Boro and West Brom for me

Re: Will Rovers survive?
 

Looks like your pockets gonna be empty!!!!:D:D

Best Regards - Taggy

Re: Will Rovers survive?
 

Yip Taggy two fold:D:D
