Newcastle 0 - 1 Rovers goooaaaaalll!
By Dan Clough | March 5th, 2008Derbyshire's goal against Newcastle. Richly deserved victory for Rovers who dominated throughout... See how many Geordies respond to that!
Rovers 4 - 1 Bolton highlights
By Dan Clough | February 26th, 2008Rovers hammered Bolton but the scoreline was slightly flattering. Having nearly scored after nine seconds Rovers took the lead through a Benni McCarthy penalty. It wasn't a penalty, but that's life! Fat Kevin Davies equalised for the Trotters before an
An Old Clip
By Dan Clough | February 25th, 2008Rovers players of old show the southern softies of Portsmouth how to 'tackle', ahem. Bit of a bloodbath! Glenn Keeley and Jim Branagan involved heavily!
£10 million for Pedersen? Yes please!
By Dan Clough | February 20th, 2008Once again, Liverpool have been linked with a move for an over-rated Premiership 'star' who would be overpaid and spend half of his time their on the bench. This time, that player is Morten Gamst Pedersen. The Mickey Mousers (scousers) have been lin
After a week of 'nothing to report sir' it's almost match time again!
By Dan Clough | February 20th, 2008With Rovers being out of all cup competitions it's been something of a boring week in football... Well, for us it has! Because of this I've been something of a bad blogger and not bothered updating! In case you haven't heard the goings on at Ewood,
Arsenal 2 - 0 Rovers: Sing Up Rovers!
By Dan Clough | February 12th, 2008Last night I went to The Emirates and was shocked at the support given to the Rovers by our own fans. There were quite a few for a Monday night, although I suspect many were from the London area, and when I walked into the ground everyone was singing o

Rovers 0 - 0 Everton
By Dan Clough | February 3rd, 200827,000 through the doors and it was an eventful and entertaining match that ended in a disappointing draw that neither side will be happy with. Rovers were denied a penalty and Johnson had a goal ruled out for The Toffees, both decisions have been inev
A Quiet Deadline Day
By Dan Clough | January 31st, 2008As a quieter than usual deadline day draws to a close let us reflect on the signings Rovers have made... Oh hang on, we've only made one! An 18 year old Irish defender - One for the future. I really hope we don't pick up any injuries in midfield fro
Villa 1 - 1 Rovers
By Dan Clough | January 28th, 2008A good performance from Rovers in a game we could, and should, have taken all three points. A penalty miss from Matt Derbyshire and a fine performance from England hopeful Scott Carson in the Villa goal left us frustrated. Rovers goal (Santa Cruz)
Rovers 1 - 1 Boro
By Dan Clough | January 20th, 2008I'm sick of reflecting on games where we have played shite. This, I'm afraid to say, is one of the worst! A poor performance. How Boro did not win this game is difficult to fathom, probably a testament to where they find themselves in the league table.
Rovers v Boro: Give Roberts A Chance
By Dan Clough | January 18th, 2008I've always rated Jason Roberts and after his winner at Bolton on Sunday it's time he was given a chance. Benni McCarthy has been nothing more than shite for a good few weeks now and it seems the perfect time to put him on the bench, giving Roberts a s
Takeover is dead
By Dan Clough | January 18th, 2008As has been my expectation for some time now, the Daniel Williams takeover bid is dead. The Jack Walker trustees, despite wanting to sell their 99.8% stake in the club, have been unwilling to reduce their valuation of the club and so the deal has falle
Reserves/Youth/Ladies update

January transfer rumours update
By Dan Clough | January 17th, 2008In - Amdy Faye. Although this may be stopped by the red tape (see previous post) - Michael Owen. Not very likely if you ask me but has been suggested. - Valeri (insert long surname). Bulgarian striker has had problems making it hard for Hughes to
Keegan Saves The Day!
By Dan Clough | January 16th, 2008Possibly the worst appointment ever but it suits us! Keegan's appointment at Newcastle means Sparky will stay with us until Ferguson retires/croaks. In other news Rovers attempts to sign Amdy Faye look to have gone tits up. The Senegalese midfielder
Bolton 1 - 2 Rovers
By Dan Clough | January 14th, 2008Another poor first half performance. Another 1-0 deificit. Another second half reinvention and another excellent comeback. Jason Roberts sent a message to Hughesy by running more than half the length of the pitch before banging in the winner in the dyi
A plea to the manager
By Dan Clough | January 14th, 2008Dear Mr Hughes, On behalf of the supporters at Blackburn Rovers Football Club I ask you not to go to Newcastle. It would be difficult to take if another of our managers were to go to Newcastle. Souness did it, now look at him. You came to us as
Losing Savage is a blow
By Dan Clough | January 11th, 2008Robbie Savage was a great servent of Blackburn Rovers. There aren't many players in the current team that you could say will give 100% always. Even if he wasn't having the best of games, you always knew Savage was trying his best. As well as on the
Transfer window rumours
By Dan Clough | January 6th, 2008It's still early doors and Hughesy has kept relatively quiet but here is what's been suggested so far... Out Savage is off, we already knew this. But where? Sunderland are keen, but need to stump up the cash. Fulham and Sheffield United are also int
Three cup disasters!
By Dan Clough | January 6th, 2008After becoming accustomed to cup runs it's hard to take that we are now in January with only the Premiership to play for. Last season we were unlucky to lose in the FA Cup semi final, the year before we were knocked out in the Carling Cup semi and the
Rovers 1 - 4 Coventry: Ahem, a difficult pill to swallow
By Dan Clough | January 6th, 2008There was me at work saying, "A good 4-0 tonking today could get our season back on track," how wrong I was... Rovers look in desperate trouble at the moment, the defence is all over the shop and without Santa Cruz it's difficult to see where the goals
Rovers 1 - 0 Sunderland
By Dan Clough | January 3rd, 2008An awful match but a vital three points and our form now looks somewhat better than it did a week or so ago. Seven points from a possible nine, we are ninth and only three points behind Everton in sixth! Despite the poor match there were reasons to be
Derby 1 - 2 Rovers with highlights
By Dan Clough | January 1st, 2008Sorry for the delay, the festive period hasn't helped my blogging activity! Rovers have now confirmed just how bad Derby actually are. It wasn't the most convincing of wins, but a win is a win. Another excellent performance from David Bentley, anoth
Martin Petrov 2 - 2 Rovers with highlights
By Dan Clough | December 28th, 2007Sorry for the lack of posting recently. It's Christmas and the beer has been well and truly flowing! Rovers were struck twice by the lightning speed of Bulgarian winger Martin Petrov but twice came back to rescue a point. We became the first club to
Rovers 2 - 3 Arsenal (aet): A Game of Four Halves
By Dan Clough | December 19th, 2007Shocking and embarressing, two words that describe the first half for Rovers. Two goals that could have been easily prevented had our defence been in the form they were in a couple of months ago. Unfortunately that's all in the past and we are currentl
If I was the boss
By Dan Clough | December 18th, 2007Right, I've just taken over as manager of Rovers (Hughesy has gone to United). Here's what I do... 1. Sell Benni McCarthy. Benni was a fantastic signing and was an immense player for us last season. He nearly got a dream move to Chelsea in the summe
