Rovers Vs Man Utd

I can predict this will be a tough match for Rovers..Our defend is slightly messy rite now..Hopefully Villanueva will be in starting first eleven..Well,Support our Rovers till the end of the match..Im not hoping anything but only good performance!!!

'Goals party' at Ewood Park

We suffered heavy lost, 0-4 against Arsenal.Thanks to Van Persie and hatrick by Adebayor for complete the deserved victory by The Gunners. I compared the performance of rovers with guitar.Imagine that guitar played by 'The Strokes' is out of tune and they keep playing it for 90 min.Annoying right?Well,in my opinion,that what happen just now when rovers stumble and struggle to play against Arsenal.Fighting spirit?Nope..No at all..However,there were fews good fact about the game(my opinion):

1.Andrews played for 90mins(WOW!!!I wonder why???He is a good friend of ince or what???)
2.Keith Treacy proved he is the best candidate to replace Morten Gamst Pedersen.
3.Why Villanueva still not playing?I thought we really need a creative midfielder???
4.Santa Cruz is a world class striker..and he still play for Blackburn???If we want to keep him after this session,play well boys!!
5.Dear Mr. Ince,your tactics sux for that games..WHY YOU MADE A WEIRD SUBSTITUTIONs??Replace our right back instead of replace our midfielder??
6.Mokoena better than Andrews.
7.Robinson performance become worst and worst..

Mohd Nasril Nourdin-Young Talented Malaysian Goalkeeper

This young talented malaysian goalkeeper almost become a first malaysian to play in EPL and first malaysian to wear blue and white shirt.This rumours was back on year 2006.Reports surfaced in September 2006 that,Blackburn Rovers were keeping tabs on Nasril. It was reported Rovers scout Mike Riggs wanted to give Nasril a trial.It could be a problem getting a work permit though as Malaysia are 154th in the FIFA rankings and a national team needs to be in the top 70 to be considered for the English Premier League. However, as of April 2007, nothing has materialized and interest seems to have cooled down.

Rovers looking at Dutch winger

Blackburn manager Paul Ince is understood to have handed a trial to former Ajax winger Kiran Bechan, who is a free agent.

The 25-year-old is looking for a club after leaving Spanish side Hercules in the summer and he has been trying to seal a move to Britain ever since.

He has trained with Inverness Caledonian Thistle and Leeds United over the past few weeks, but is now trying his luck with Rovers.

Bechan was a free agent before the transfer window closed, meaning he is allowed to seal a permanent deal with any club interested in his services.

Ince will now check on Bechan, who began his career with Dutch giants Ajax.

Keeper signs/Winger on hold

Blackburn have signed Northampton goalkeeper Mark Bunn but may have to wait before drafting in a new right winger.

Bunn has penned a four-year deal at Ewood Park after Rovers agreed an undisclosed fee with the Cobblers and he joins Paul Robinson and Jason Brown in the goalkeeping ranks.

However, Paul Ince may have to wait until January before he can draft in a new right winger to replace David Bentley after chairman John Williams confirmed they will not make panic buys.

"We are looking for a right-sided midfielder, but we might have to wait," Williams revealed. "The cash is there, but we have to spend our money wisely to bring in the targets we really want.

"If we don't sign a midfielder today, then we will continue our search through the autumn, and make a move in January."

Rovers leave it late to down Toffees

Andre Ooijer's last-gasp winner gave Paul Ince his first victory as Blackburn manager as Everton were beaten 3-2 at Goodison Park

Rovers had led through David Dunn, before Mikel Arteta equalised for Everton with a fine free-kick in first-half injury-time.

When Ayegbeni Yakubu put Everton ahead, it looked as if the hosts were going to grab the points. But Roque Santa Cruz and then Dutchman Ooijer had different ideas.

Everton gave a first-team debut to 17-year-old midfielder Jack Rodwell, a glut of injuries and a failure to sign a single new player this summer narrowing manager David Moyes' options. He also had six youngsters on the bench.

Ince left striker Benni McCarthy on the bench and gave a club debut to former England goalkeeper Paul Robinson. Santa Cruz, a possible departure before the transfer window closes, played up front.

Everton had defenders Leighton Baines and Phil Jagielka in midfield roles - while Ince, having already sold David Bentley, named Steven Reid on the right flank.

Rovers who had three good early chances.

Morten Gamst Pedersen surged through the middle to force Tim Howard into a finger-tip save.

Then two excellent crosses from Reid were both met by Santa Cruz and headed just wide.

Everton's response was a 25-yarder from Rodwell that was held low by Robinson.

Dunn, from 35 yards, almost embarrassed out-of-position Howard.

But Rodwell was settling nicely into Premier League football and dished out one powerful challenge on Santa Cruz that drew appreciative applause.

Dunn, cutting in from the left, forced Howard into a smart save. But the next time Dunn was in a shooting position, he bagged an excellent goal on 22 minutes.

Pedersen and Santa Cruz were involved in the build-up, but Dunn did much of the hard work himself by sending Jagielka skidding away on his backside - having shifted the ball from right to left foot before firing wide of Howard.

Dunn's excellent goal gave Rovers the lift they needed, and they were finding too much room in the centre of midfield. Rodwell was doing his best, but the makeshift partnership with Jagielka was a worry.

Moyes attempted to solve the problem by moving Baines to left-back and shifting Nuno Valente into midfield.

But there was pace about Blackburn's play.

Stephen Warnock was booked in the 44th minute for a foul from behind on Arteta.

But two minutes into first-half injury-time, Arteta was on the score sheet with a curling free-kick - for a harsh hand-ball against Reid - that left Robinson standing.

Everton could have been ahead two minutes into the second period.

Rodwell put Baines away on the left - and when the cross flashed in front of goal both Yakubu and Leon Osman failed by inches to connect with the cross.

Jason Robert's fine run into the box past three defenders was finally halted by a combination of Howard and Joleon Lescott - when it looked as if the Rovers man would score.

Ooijer was booked after 59 minutes for a foul on Yakubu. Jagielka then saw a header from Arteta's corner flash just wide.

After 64 minutes, Everton surged into the lead.

Yakubu's neat ball out to the left sent Arteta racing away - and when the far-post cross arrived, Yakubu was towering above everyone to head home.

The lead lasted two minutes.

Warnock's angled ball in from the left saw Santa Cruz get goal side of Lescott to ease the ball past Howard.

Roberts forced a fine save from Howard, with Lescott's block stopping Roberts' second attempt. Joseph Yobo was booked for a foul on Roberts, before Ince sent on Keith Treacy in place of Pedersen.

With 11 minutes left, Everton sent on Jose Baxter for his debut in place of Valente - making him the Toffees' youngest ever senior player at 16 years and 196 days old.

Rovers sent on McCarthy for Roberts with seven minutes left, and then Tugay replaced Dunn.

In the last minute of normal time, Baxter out-jumped Robinson at the far post to head over from a Phil Neville cross.

But Blackburn stole the points in the 94th minute when Warnock's free-kick was headed against the post by Ryan Nelsen, with Ooijer tapping home the rebound.

Blackburn Approach Richard Morales

Richard Morales, 33, has attracted interest from Blackburn Rovers, and according to reports the Premier League club and Nacional of Montevideo could begin negotiations by early next week.

The former Uruguayan international, who stands at 1.98 metres tall, had agreed to join Brazilian giants Flamengo earlier in the month, but decided to pull out of the deal after players from the club's squad were violently attacked by fans because of their poor run of results.

At the beginning of the week Morales returned to training with Nacional, even though he had previously told the club that he had no interest of returning, because of the way he had been treated by their directors after his actions during a derby loss to city rivals Penarol last season.

Then on Friday morning it was reported that Blackburn Rovers officials attended a Nacional training session at Los Cespedes, in the outskirts of Montevideo, and approached the player with the intention to sign him for two seasons. Morales affirmed that he would be interested in a move to the Premiership at this stage of his career.

The intention of Blackburn Rovers is to use Morales as a permanent back-up for Paraguayan striker Roque Santa Cruz while he is out on international duty with his national team

Villanueva agent claims Rovers bid

The agent of Chile international Carlos Villanueva says Paul Ince is keen to take his client to Blackburn after missing out on Mauro Zarate.

Villanueva's agent Cristian Otero told La Tercera's website that new Rovers boss Ince contacted him looking to sign youngster Zarate.

However, Ince instead chose the Audax Italiano midfielder after Zarate opted to join Lazio.

"I have a good relationship with Ince," said Otero. "He knew that I took Mauro Zarate (to Birmingham) six months ago and he told me he liked him, but Mauro finally signed for Lazio.

"He wanted a similar player, so I took him several videos of Villanueva, as I believe that they have a similar profile. After watching them, he decided to ask about a transfer."

Audax Italiano president Valentin Cantergiani claims an agreement has been reached with Rovers and Villanueva will join the Ewood Park club next week.

"It will be completed next week," Cantergiani said on Cooperativa radio station. "There are some details to finalise, but there is an agreement with Blackburn Rovers."

Blackburn Rovers Session 2008/2009

This new session will be the new beginning era of Paul Ince who replace Mark Hughes.After Mark Hughes 's departure , a lot of speculation present at the Ewood park. Ince seems to be struggle to keep his best player and put on his effort to looking for any good signing. Rover's chairman recently had reject an offer from Aston Villa for Bentley(12 million Pound). Bentley who had revealed his ambition to pursue his carrier with bigger clubs and he try to attract other clubs to buy him.
Paul Ince is now targeting a young chilean player Carlos Villanueva and most likely to be his first signing in this summer. A week before there also an interest from Ewood park for Red Star's midfielder, Catillo. On my own opinion, if Rovers manage to sign both player, is not too much to say that rovers have what it takes to compete for top 6 and qualify automatically for Euro cup. Well, keep yourself update for any breaking news from Ewood park.Rovers Forever!!!

Nelsen ComebAcK

Blackburn captain Ryan Nelsen is ready to help Rovers' push for Europe after admitting his fears that he thought his season was over.

The Kiwi returns for Saturday's Premier League clash with Reading at the Madejski Stadium after 10 weeks on the sidelines.

After playing through the pain barrier for the majority of the first half of the campaign, Nelsen finally listened to what his body was screaming at him.

His problem stemmed from an operation he required in the summer of 2006 to reattach a hamstring tendon that had been torn off the bone.

The New Zealand centre-back spent six months on the sidelines in rehabilitation before eventually returning in January 2007.

However, a year later, Nelsen decided he could no longer continue as the pain he was feeling was badly affecting his performances.

It took what he describes as "a few medical heads" to diagnose the problem - quite simply he had returned too soon and not adequately strengthened the muscles around the tendon.

"I'm my own worst enemy because after the operation I just wanted to run and train, but I did so far too early and it really cost me," remarked Nelsen.

"I knew something was wrong because I was playing horrendously.

"I just didn't have my explosiveness and the speed I normally have. It just wasn't there, which was extremely frustrating.

"But in wanting to put it right I'd get out there and train and play, but by doing that I was hurting myself even more.

"It reached the point that even when I was walking it was hurting, so I had to put my hand up and say 'this is getting ridiculous'.

"Quite a few medical heads then got together, I had scans, and when a surgeon saw it he told me get off it for four weeks.

"I was basically playing on a tendon I shouldn't have even been walking on.

"My hamstring was pathetic and the tendon was taking all the tension. I was trying to do things when it couldn't handle it.

"At the time, when the surgeon told me how bad it was, I thought I could be out for the season.

"But I got my head down, headed to the weight room to get the muscle strong, and the stronger it has become the less pain I've felt, which seems so simple looking back.

"So I made sure I was comfortable with my strength and that I could handle it before I started to run again.

"Now my lungs are spitting up some cobwebs, but at least the injury is okay."

Full-time: ROVERS 3 WIGAN ATHLETIC 1

BLACKBURN Rovers stole a march on their rivals for an Intertoto place thanks to this hard-fought victory against Wigan Athletic.

Two goals from Roque Santa Cruz, either side of a Jason Roberts strike, earned 10-man Rovers three richly deserved points on an afternoon of drama at Ewood Park.

This was sweet revenge for the 5-3 defeat Rovers suffered when these two sides met at the JJB Stadium in December.

On that day, Santa Cruz bagged a hat-trick but still finished on the losing side.

This time, however, the Paraguayan did pick up a win bonus after scoring two headed goals to lay the foundations for this welcome victory.

The former Bayern Munich ace bagged his first of the afternoon in the 11th minute, when he pounced to score from close range after Chris Kirkland fumbled a long-range drive from the excellent David Bentley.

However, that lead lasted barely five minutes before Wigan were back on level terms, and Rovers were reduced to 10-men.

Chris Samba saw red for denying Emile Heskey a clear goalscoring opportunity, and Marlon King confidently dispatched the resulting penalty.

Unperturbed by that set-back, Rovers continued to look the better side and they regained the lead right on the stroke of half-time, when Roberts turned past a defender and stroked a cool finish under Kirkland.

Rovers then gave themselves further breathing space in the 63rd minute, Bentley sending over a sublime cross for Santa Cruz to power home a header at the far post.

To compund Wigan's frustrations, they were also reduced to 10-men in the closing stages, Wilson Palacios seeing red for a second bookable offence in the 69th minute.

With Aston Villa also losing at home to Sunderland, and Manchester City only drawing at Bolton, it turned out to be an excellent afternoon all round for Mark Hughes' men.

Rovers: Friedel, Ooijer, Khizanishvili, Samba, Warnock, Bentley, Reid, Dunn, Pedersen, Roberts, Santa Cruz. Subs: Tugay (for Roberts, 79),Mokoena (for Dunn, 84), McCarthy (for Santa Cruz, 90) Not used: Derbyshire, Brown Wigan: Kirkland, Melchiot, Boyce, Scharner, Edman, Valencia, Palacios, Brown, Kilbane, King, Heskey. Subs: Taylor (for Edman, 41), Bent (for King, 64) Not used: Aghahowa, Bramble, Pollitt Referee: Mr M Dean (Cheshire)

Wigan will be a tough match - Hughes

MANAGER Mark Hughes is not underestimating the threat Wigan will post at Ewood Park this weekend.

The Latics are unbeaten in their last four games and whilst the Rovers boss fully expects their lowly Lancashire rivals to avoid the drop, he won't be offering any favours when the two sides meet on Saturday afternoon.

"They are a good team," said Hughes. "They have turned their season around and are going in the right direction, so it will be difficult for us.

"Obviously they aren't out of the relegation mix as yet, but I fully expect them to be safe in the coming weeks - but obviously following our match at the weekend.

The Rovers manager has also been very impressed with the job former Manchester United team-mate Steve Bruce has done at the JJB Stadium since taking the reins in November.

"He's done very well. They have got on a run of form and they've quickly found themselves away from the bottom reaches of the Premier League.

"It is important that when a new manager comes in that they have a positive effect as quickly as possible.

"More often than not it does happen and the key is to try to maintain that right to the end of the next period of games and hopefully you carry that on into the seasons that follow.

"Certainly Wigan are going in the right direction and they seem to have an energy and a physical presence to their play at the moment and that is helping them."

New Man In Rovers Shirt!!!

Switzerland international Johann Vogel is determined to make an impact in the Premier League after signing a permanent deal with Blackburn.

Vogel has played at the highest level in Europe with Real Betis, AC Milan, and PSV Eindhoven among his previous clubs.

The 31-year-old defensive midfielder, who captained Switzerland at the 2006 World Cup, was a free agent after being released from Betis after a legal dispute with the club.

Subject to international clearance, Vogel has signed a two-and-a-half-year deal with the option of a further year.

Vogel told the club's official website: "I'm very happy the deal is done. I've had two weeks training with the squad and they have made a good impression. I was very impressed with the quality of the squad.

"It has always been an objective of mine to play in England, I can't wait to get started. If I am given my chance to play then I will do my best. If the manager thinks I'm ready then I will grab my chance."

New sponsoR for next sEason!!!

Blackburn have announced that Crown Paints will be their new sponsors after striking a multi-million deal with the company.

Blackburn: Have new sponsor

The three-year contract, which begins next season, is worth between £4-5million, depending on the team's performance.

Blackburn chairman John Williams said: "This deal gives us the opportunity to work with a major national brand with the added benefit of a strong local connection.

"We were looking for a long-term relationship with our new sponsor and this agreement forms part of a broader communications strategy for both of us."

Crown Paints managing director Howard Luft said: "A large part of our Darwen workforce are Rovers supporters and I know they will be delighted with this announcement."

Derbyshire celebrates fatherhood with a goal

NEW dad Matt Derbyshire smashed a dramatic last minute winner against Newcastle United at the weekend - and then dedicated it to his new baby sons.

The 21-year-old striker celebrated the safe arrival of twins Callum and Braidin, who were born last Wednesday, in fine style at St James' Park, scoring the only goal of the game in the 90th minute to deliver Rovers' first Premier League double of the Magpies.

That completed an amazing few days for the Rovers striker, who wasn't expecting to play against United until he got a late call from manager Mark Hughes.

A delighted Derbyshire said: "It's been a great week. I've become the father of two beautiful children, Braidin and Callum, and I scored the goal which got us the three points.

"I've wanted to celebrate the arrival of the twins for a couple of days and what a perfect way to do it.

"I wondered whether I was going to be able to play, to be honest, because my partner Melissa was in labour for such a long time.

"But I had a day off on Thursday and then spoke to Eddie Niedzwiecki and the gaffer, and they said come in on Friday ready to travel, so I was there, ready for it.

"And I'm delighted I got the goal."

Overjoyed at becoming a father for the first time, Derbyshire raced to the Rovers fans packed into the away end at St James' and performed a baby-rocking celebration, together with the rest of his team-mates, following his stunning late winner.

"It's been a real rollercoaster few days," he admitted.

"It's difficult, to be fair, because you feel as if you've been thrown in at the deep end, not really knowing what to do.

"But then everything else takes over."

As for the win - Rovers' third at St James' in as many years - Derbyshire said: "It's a great result, especially off the back of another good result against Bolton.

"The lads fought hard and we had to battle in midfield. It was difficult at times and we had to soak up some pressure, hoping we could then hit them on the break.

"We've just got to keep picking points up now and keep pushing up the table.

"If we keep picking up the points at home then there's no reason why we can't push for that European spot."

Four of Derbyshire's six goals this season have now come when he has entered the fray as a substitute, yet the striker insists he does not want to be dubbed a supersub'.

"I don't want to be branded a supersub because I think I'm a bit more than that," he said.

"I think it's just a case of being in the right place at the right time, coming off the bench.

"The gaffer knows when to put me on, and when he thinks I'm ready to start a game.

"I never bother him like that, unless it's a case of not playing at all, then I might go in and see him.

"It can be a bit frustrating (when you are not in the team) but what can you say when you've got strikers like we have at the club playing ahead of you, particularly when they are doing well and scoring goals?

"At the moment, I can't really complain."

Derbyshire's latest heroics are all the more remarkable when you consider he is playing with a double hernia that requires surgery at the end of the season.

He added: "It's causing me a few problems. It isn't the best and it's going to be quite sore between now and the end of the season.

"But I've just got to keep getting rid of the pain, have a few massages, and try to carry on.

"I do feel it during games and I can't really sprint that quickly off the mark.

"But don't tell the gaffer, otherwise he won't bring me off the bench!"

Rovers Super-SUB lead to another victory!!!

Hughes still happy with Rovers life

Blackburn chief Mark Hughes insists he will not be heading to Newcastle this weekend with a point to prove.
Hughes was rumoured to be a leading contender to become Newcastle boss in January after Sam Allardyce was sacked. Kevin Keegan ultimately returned for a second stint at St James' Park and Hughes has again stressed his happiness at Blackburn. "It's all in the past now," Hughes told The Sun. "It was always speculation. I took a step back and tried to keep my distance and got criticised for that. "But I always said I was happy at Blackburn and that's still the case, so it's not something I worry about day-in, day-out. "I certainly don't feel like I'm going up there with anything to prove to anyone. We just see it as a chance to boost our European ambitions." Rovers are in the mix for European football next season, but Hughes accepts it will be a difficult challenge over the coming weeks. He added: "Two years ago, when we finished sixth, we had 43 points at this stage. Now we have 42, but it will be more difficult this year. "We look at the fixtures coming up and we see some winnable games. We've got 11 to come and we're going to have to win six or seven of them. "We have to view Newcastle as a winnable game. But it's a big challenge going up there."

4-1..At last..My personal favourite player scored!!

Blackburn winger Morten Gamst Pedersen has voiced his relief after ending his Premier League goal drought in Sunday's win over Bolton.

Pedersen netted in the 90th minute of Rovers' 4-1 victory over the Trotters for his first league goal since last February.

The Norway international had made a name for himself as a goalscoring midfielder until his barren run - and he hopes his latest effort will set him up for the rest of the season.

"It was a good feeling because it's been a while since I last scored in the league," Pedersen told the Lancashire Telegraph.

"I've scored a couple in the cups, and a few for my national team, but in the league it has been a while, and it's always good to score, especially when we managed to put in a good performance as a team as well.

"I've hit almost everything; the crossbar; the post; people.

"But I hit the target and it's a good feeling. Hopefully, I can get a few more now."

Manager Mark Hughes was also delighted for Pedersen after keeping faith with him all season, and is confident the 26-year-old will now go from strength to strength.

"It was an important goal for Morten," said Hughes. "Obviously, confidence wise, he has been a little bit low but he took his goal really well, and I thought in the first half he caused them a real problem with his power in the air, and his ability to produce balls from wide areas.

"So it was a good performance by him, and I'm sure he will benefit from that."

Beware the Bolton threat

ROVERS boss Mark Hughes is well aware of the threat that local rivals and European heroes Bolton pose ahead of Sunday's Premier League clash at Ewood Park.

Rovers turned out 2-1 winners in the reverse fixture at the Reebok Stadium a few weeks ago, but Hughes believes Bolton will provide difficult opposition.

"They have a certain style of play that is well known and well documented," said Hughes. "It hasn't changed a great deal since Gary has come because he has acknowledged the qualities of the players and has recognised they are well-tuned with that system.

"In fairness it has been difficult for him because he has lost one of his main assets in Nicolas Anelka, but he has been allowed to spend the money to bring in good Premier League players and they look strong.

"They are a difficult side, they are always a difficult side and in these derbies, for whatever reason, it always seems to be the away side that does well.
