Big Sam’s start to his managerial career at Rovers could not have started better as a brace from Benni Mac and a poached goal bullet from Jason Roberts led the Rovers to almost an assured victory inside the first 27 minutes at Ewood Park on Saturday.
With RSC ruled out, Rovers went with Benni Mac [...]

BFS taking no time to start appealing to the fans, starting this afternoon at the press conference unveiling him officially. From the official site:
“This is a great club to be managing, having walked around the facilities today, this is the best facilities that I’ve experienced as a manager.”
He also added
“But having been there before I [...]

Well well well, there you have it and that didn’t take long. Official sites report:
Blackburn Rovers are delighted to announce the appointment of Sam Allardyce as manager with immediate effect.
Sam has signed a three-year-contract.
A Press Conference will be held at Ewood Park at 4.00pm tomorrow (Thursday).
More after the Jump!
Well, all older feelings aside, this has [...]

Right, so my first bit was cut short as apperently missing a final exam because of breaking Rovers news isn’t accepted at Uni. Well, we won’t quibble over who should make the policies( I should) but I’m back now to fill in all the gaps.
Now, right off the bat I’m at a disadvantage cause when [...]

Official today from a club statement, Paul Ince has been relieved of duties as the Manager of Blackburn Rovers. No new appointment has been made yet, but JW did have this to say:
“In the meantime, the day-to-day training will be carried out by Archie Knox, Ray Mathias and Karl Robinson. Our coaching staff and all [...]

INCE OUT. INCE OUT. INCE OUT. INCE OUT. INCE OUT. INCE OUT. INCE OUT. INCE OUT. INCE OUT. INCE OUT. INCE OUT. INCE OUT. INCE OUT. INCE OUT. INCE OUT. INCE OUT. INCE OUT. INCE OUT. INCE OUT. INCE OUT.
This is all unacceptable. Ridiculous. Maddening. He gets no more time or chances, sack him [...]

Well, what do you know. We played great for an hour, and we were, in fact, the better side in the first half. Then the magicical hour mark comes around and slowly, surely, and predictably we melt away. Enter Paul Ince:
” There was some good things to take away from the lads performance. We played [...]

I don’t even know what to write anymore. Blogging at the Offside has become not the most happy of occasions seeing as there is nothing positive to report. Tevez just ran a muck on us yesterday as we were thrown out of the Carling Cup and onto our backsides into a dark alley to be [...]

The first half was just terrible. I dont even know if we can call that football. Whatever.
Then someone lit a fire under Pompey’s asses. And Rovers weren’t ready. 2 goals later the game looked hopeless. Had it had been the Rovers of a few years ago or even last year, it probably would have been. [...]

While that picture of Samba scoring that fantastic header looks great, Sunderland pulled a reversal of the midweek result by beating Rovers 2-1 at Ewood Park. This furthers the run of absolutely abysmal results at home this season and sees Rovers slip into the bottom three. Ugh. Just the two words typed together should never [...]
