Having watched awful football for the past few years and yes I include Big Sam's Hoof as well,it was refreshing to see the ball on the floor on Tuesday night. Berg in a week looks to have changed the Rovers style in one fail swoop.Take a bow Mr Berg.
We set off ,my lad ,nephew and me more in the hope of a win than expecting one.I predicted a win and they all scoffed . We arrived and my two passengers wanted a Big Mac when they saw a sign saying two minutes away.It was two minutes IF you are called Mo and are an Olympic Champion. We turned round and went to a chippy with an outside table .When we had finished I offered my chair to an old dear and the ignorant Yorkshire pudding didn't even have the decency to say thanks.
We found our seats and the first thing we noticed has the players warmed up was that the players were actually having a proper "warm up " and were actually doing real stretches.We had commentated at the Watford game how half hearted and lacklustre the pre game was ,so it was good to see the change and hopefully this will lead to better fitness and less stupid muscle injuries.
We kicked off and Rochina launched a volley from about 40 yards that if the goalie and pulled a worldie then it would be one nil with thirty seconds gone and goal of the century.
We followed up with shot after shot and the Berginater seems to have a shoot on sight policy.We then proceeded to do our customised suicidal defending and go undeservedly a goal down. The booing that followed after a move broke down was embarrassing but it soon got jovial again as we scored with their former hero . We continued to dominate and got a penalty and our group sang "Marcus Olsson took a dive he hates Yorkshire."2-1. We should really have seen the game out and held the ball at Towns corner flag instead of crossing the ball and then suicidal tendencies took over again and it was 2-2 and over.
Looking back ,overall I was impressed with the keep ball passing we played ,if its good enough for Spain then its good enough for me too. Yes its going to take time and we need to keep our noses in the promotion race until the transfer window and players like the pathetic rover fan hating ex dingle Orr can be got shut of. Berg needs to get players he needs and the Rovers fans now need is to have patience and NOT get on the players backs if a move breaks down and Ewood needs to start getting loud again.I actually sang again and got excited and its something i thought Id never see again. I still hate Venkys but maybe just maybe Henning may get the chicken pluckers out of their own hole.
On a side note Im doing Mowvember and its not too late to help a very good cause...just click the following link for more information....thanks .

Hi Shaun,
ReplyDeleteyeah I agree with you it was better kept the ball better as you say and the booing when the move broke down was not good although I have to disagree with you on one point in no way did Markus Olsson take a dive if you look back at the replay the defender takes no part of the ball just takes the man out it was as clear a penalty as you will ever see how Grayson can say otherwise is just a case of sour grapes on his part after that blatent disregard for our team he has gone down in my estimation. I also wanted to point you in the direction of an article written by Mikey Delap from vital blackburn the link is:

"But thankfully, gone are the days when his predecessor, the human talking claptrap machine, created a divide so wide in the stands that you could fit a bus terminal down the middle".
I thought this quote was very good I think someone should send this quote to the ignoramusses at Sky Sports and the BBC wonder what Lawro would make of this Laters Savio
