As a Rover's fan just wanted to come over and congratulate you on your win last night as you seem to be constantly wummed all the time.
If the game had been 11vs11 we had have been absolutely destroyed so when it went down to 10vs11 I thought we had a chance, we just didn't seem to have the right tactics at all to exploit the man advantage, or, as much as it pains me to say, the desire once we had pulled level to find an equaliser. Your boys all fought til the last minute and deserve some credit for that. Still think Flanagan should have gone, but he didn't and if that had happened who knows whether Doni would have been sent off as it was Flanagan's awful pass that led to Doni's red, so it makes no odds, really.
So as much as it pains me to say, as I think you have put the final nail in our coffin looking at our remaining fixtures, well done on the result. Wasn't a world beating performance but you got the win with 10 men and that does deserve credit, even though I think we were terrible considering the cirumstances we had to play in for 60 minutes.
Hope to play you next year, but I won't hold my breath. Sad times at Rovers it seems, perhaps things will pick up for you guys with the FA cup semi-final coming up.
Congrats on the result last night

Thanks for the kind words but I thought with a man advanage we looked pretty clueless just hoofing it up, leaving to many defenders back and not expoiting a great chance to get 3 much needed points. We scored from a penalty (missed one which was one of the worst penalties I have seen), and a free kick. Didn't really create much in open play. We need to improve to get better results, in my opinion, and I obviously hope we do.

Too much going on behind closed doors. Depressing to see your club being ripped apart from the inside and many fans are starting to feel out of touch with the club now. It is amazing how much it has changed since the Venky's took over. The soul seems to be being ripped from it and the fan's are having to bear the brunt of it as always.

Renthehenface, thanks I don't think any of us wanted to see the game played out as it was, although I have to disagree about Flanagan, the yellow was very shady, he stumbled, wasn't malicious, I think that's why he didn't get the second.
Sorry to see your club going through the grinder, it's not nice, we've been there recently too, just remember to keep the faith, venkys are just the keyholders, without the fans, venkys have nothing.

If Kean had any idea he'd have pushed the full backs right on to us. He'd have moved Hoilett to the left to get at Henderson and brought on another striker.

It truly is amazing isn't it that every fan can see it but Kean can't. I have not been protesting at the games but I do want Kean gone, he is completely clueless and him just stood there cross armed last night, summed him up. He had no idea what to do.
We made so little from open play it was embarrasssing.
I obviously want us to stay up and you are right, we do seem to give you good games at Ewood, so perhaps for you it would be nicer if we were to go down. If we do go down, I think we will be lost to obscurity for a while, the championship is a hard league to get out of. That is why yesterday was so hard to take as a Rover.

Cheers bud. Considering the damage last nights result did to your survival hopes, it took a lot to come here and say that.....kudos
Just hope you manage to avoid the drop. As a Liverpool supporter I can empathise with what your clubs supporters are going through at the moment.

No worries guys, sometimes you just got to admit when another team deserves it more than your own, even if it means we could go down. Your team showed good heart shame we couldn't.
Nice to hear a set of fan's who do sympathise with our situation to, bit of a rarity it seems on here! Nice to hear most of you want us to stay up as well, why is that mainly? Some have said geography, others good away day, perhaps you like our club?
Genuinly curious.

I think for me it's because you are a genuine club with genuine fans. I guess it is just because you are a likable club and your fans seem pretty decent.

For me it's because I feel genuine empathy for your situation, I have the same empathy for rangers, you're not trying to be anything other than a football club and you've been magnanimous in defeat, you seem like the kind of guy that would have a serious debate
