Protests set to go up a notch

Ok im sorry but what a time to be idiots. I am far from a kean supporter or a chicken supporter but this window will make or break this club. Ie If no one is brought in and ppl are sold we will be relegated and no one will be interested in buying us. The accounts tell of a more efficently run club which is in a precious position but at current levels is sustainable. So it on the field we need to be worried about. The result against stoke was unfortunate but the players looked more relaxed and played better with a better reception. These protests effect the performances so they have to stop during games and after positive performances. It also discourages people from comming to us. Now we have to be realistic premier league survival is the main aim so get behind the team when they play and get points. When they lose you can demonstrate. BUT a better way at targeting the Venkey and co has to be found or the protesters are also at fault for us going down. Now I know this will not make me popular but as a fan I have my opinion and fell the right to voice it. Sorry if this offends anyone personally but BRFC is to all of us a personal issue.

the-one-and-only-mar - Appreciate your view point chief. It's just as valid as anybody elses.

I agree with you as well i just wrote something similar on Lancashire telegraph. It’s anti productive. Ewood has been a nightmare to this season but the Stoke game was actually good for once. We just lacked creativity against Stoke, that and poor concentration with the defending. But protesting isn't doing anything in my opinion, what has it solved so far??? Even more bad publicity?? Who knows I say let’s get behind the team, go down fighting. Not making horrible atmospheres every game, it horrible I want to go to the games but not listen to Kean out throughout the whole game. And I am not saying Kean deserves to stay we all know his record is awful. I think the protests should be organised after the game and aimed towards Venkys. I feel as bad as Kean is, he is the scapegoat, at the end of the day it all comes down to Venkys appointing him, then Venkys not sacking him and bringing someone else in. All kean is doing is trying to make blackburn win games, hes bad at it but at least he’s trying. What are Venkys doing?

The atmosphere against stoke did nothing. We still lost. If we chant Venkys out, how is that going to affect the players in the slightest. If we chant "We love Rovers but we have Venkys" again, how is that going to affect the players. You people don't understand that if we don't get Venkys out we won't have a decent football club anymore. We go down, and Venkys won't fund us to come back up. Get it into your heads. We are down already, with players sales inevitable, Barclays demanding money and the stupid signings of rubbish players to replace them. You happy clappers make me sick, standing back and watching out club be destroyed. Protesting makes no difference. We protested Vs Arsenal, and we won, one of our 2 only home wins. We didn't protest whilst we went on a run of 10 games without a win last season. Get it into your heads, the protests are not a problem and don't affect the players!!!!!!!

I'm sorry rover23 but comments like "you happy clappers make me sick" are only going to alienate other Rovers fans and cause more friction all over again. I'm sure whether we all decide to protest or not we all want the same thing for the club. It is impossible to prove whether protesting is right or wrong and suggesting that you either protest or be a happy clapper isn't really fair.

Have to agree with everyone except rovers23 here.Relegation is never going to be a situation that should be considered good 'if it means...'We go down we lose all the talent that is there and could turn into the next Portsmouth or many of the others who have got lost in the football league since losing their place in the Premiership. As the last 3 games shows with support from the fans come better performances and results.Confidence will play a huge role in the rest of this season. Like all rovers fans I think we have owners that are wrong for not just our club but any club. Steve Kean is undoubtedly out of his place, but if some of those results and decisions like the ones in the Norwich, Everton, Sunderland, Stoke games had gone the way they should then we would be in a far healthier position.I know in the Sunderland game in particular the performance was shocking and we really deserved nothing from the game,but the shocking decision to penalize Samba for being fouled by Westwood had gone the way it should it is fairly unlikely we would have played so poorly and Sunderland would have turned it around. The protests to date have proven very little and show that from India the chicken people have no intention of listening to the pressure to sack Kean. They are the main problem but they currently own the club and look unlikely to sell. Protests at matches do nothing except serve to heap further pressure on players that already have a lot on their shoulders, and also on Steve Kean. If you want to protest about the owners it should be held in a different forum than match days. I do believe we need a more experienced manager but it's pretty clear now that is unlikely to happen and protests won't change that. Luck and refereeing decisions have gone against for sure this year,and variance of luck hasn't balanced out as it usually does. I don't believe in excuses but Steve Kean is 100% right in saying if things had been a bit different we coud have 6/7 more points than we do have currently which would put us in a far better place.Yet he takes it on the chin and won't criticise refs even if it results in him geting more abuse than any manager in premier league history.Fergie gets one bad call and says the guy should never be near a match again. There are better managers than SK out there,but there are far worse.He may be a bit of an asskisser with the owners but he seems a decent guy,and like it or not he is the manager that will be in charge whether fans like it or not. Get behind him and the team now or 'The Great Escape II' becomes even harder than it already is. If fans want to protest then they have the right to do so against the owners, it just shouldn't be at matches, especially since the chicken family are never there to see or hear it. We ended United's unbeaten run and drew with Liverpool and were unlucky against Stoke and for those results alone I think Kean deserves a bit of support and for the abuse to stop. COME ON ROVERS!!!!

Good to see more and more people against the idea of protesting during a game. When the team are playing (well or not) let's focus ourselves on the game and the outcome please! That leaves 165 hours in the week outside of the football gme to protest our hearts out.

I haven't joined in any protests or booing - as I don't believe in them. I don't think they have achieved their aim and I think they are damaging our chances of survival. Rover23 - I am amazed that you want us relegated to get rid of the owners.

We're by no means relegated yet. We're 3 pts away from getting out of the relegation zone and for a club that was bottom at Xmas that is very rare. If we can beat Man Utd and draw with Liverpool playing away with Steve Kean in charge then we can do the same against the likes of Wolves, Swansea and Bolton. It's still all all to play for so we might as well accept the current regime and if they mess it up they will be accountable for it. The media aren't on our side on this one, yes they son't know the full story but who does? I certainly don't regarldless of endless financial speculation. We're never going to attract a better owner or a better manager by continuing protests after we've had decent results.

Give your heads a shake. We are bottom of the Premier League thanks to these idiots in charge and nobody else. You people make me feel sick that you sit there and moan about our club and do nothing about it. Don't come crying when we get relegated and you did nothing to stop it.

We all care a lot for Rovers. We've tried protesting before games,during games. Some do so by boycotting going to matches. So far there has been no reaction from India. Other fans and the national media do not get our point even after it has been explained to them. The question we have to ask ourselves is this, if no-one notices us or does not get our messag, how valid and effective is it to continue our protest here in the UK? Should we not rather bombard the press in India with our message and get our message across in the only community the Venky's care about most?

ps i think dutch makes a good point, how we would manage to get it into the press in India I have no idea. It so sad that Venkys are willing to buy a club and let it rot and not give a **** about what the fans think. It makes me so sad :(. We should contact channel 4 to do one of their investigation, i think some one else suggested this and that would be good haha
