And now he's seriously ill in hospital....

Rumours rumours....

One Hull fan came on our message board and reckoned it was revenge for our fan dying at the preceding fixture....

What a disgusting fuckin prick..!

And seeing as how our fan died in a car crash on his way back form the match, what a stupid, uneducated, ignorant inbred fuckin prick....!

Turns out it was a Blackburn fan who's critically injured one of his own and has since been arrested...

Andy Wilkinson, Stoke on Trent born and bred, left back in the Stuart Pearce school of tackling, told the press Cristiano Ronaldo was a fanny after being sent off for kickin the fanny up in the air a few times...
Proper footballer...

If Carlsberg did Left Backs...

A football fan critically injured at a Premier League match on Saturday died in hospital, police said on Sunday.

The Blackburn Rovers supporter was found unconscious in a stand during Saturday's clash between Stoke City and Blackburn at the Britannia Stadium.

He was treated at the scene for a head injury and cardiac arrest, then rushed to the University Hospital of North Staffordshire.

But Staffordshire Police on Sunday said the man died in hospital just before 2am.

A spokesman said: "A 30-year-old man was pronounced dead at 1.55am this morning at University Hospital North Staffordshire.

"The circumstances are being fully investigated and a 25-year-old man remains in custody and is helping police with their inquiries."

The victim was found collapsed in the concourse area of the south stand just after the half-time interval, where a group of Blackburn supporters were gathered.

Chief Inspector Adrian Roberts, match commander at the game which saw Stoke beat Blackburn 3-0, said there were just over 1,300 Blackburn fans at the game and no Stoke fans were involved.

West Midlands Ambulance Service said they were called to the stadium just before 4.20pm on Saturday.

A statement on the Blackburn Rovers website said the man was among a 1,300-strong Rovers following in the South Stand.

Stoke City said police were investigating the incident and the club would make no further comment.




I've heard they were fighting amongst themselves ( rumour ) and i've also heard they were playing a game where a bin is chucked and someone heads it...done it at other grounds too..either way, what a tragic loss....Blackburn fans have Stoke fans deepest condolences...

It sounds like they were fighting ...

Quote:

Ch Insp Roberts said an investigation had been started into how the man came by his injuries and a 25-year-old man from Preston had been arrested.

The lad has been named on a few Rovers forums. He left behind a girlfriend and young child.

I hope it was some kind of very sad accident though. Nobody should go to a game of footy and not return home that night.

Burnley have unveiled ambitious plans for the redevelopment of Turf Moor as part of a project which also includes the country's first "Football University".

Clarets chief executive Paul Fletcher is leading the "Premier Plan", in conjunction with Burnley Borough Council and The Prince's Charities.

And he said: "If you dare to dream, dream big, and this is not just about Burnley Football Club, this is about the whole town of Burnley and potentially leaving a massive legacy brought on by promotion to the Premier League."

A Premiership footballer was arrested on suspicion of assault following an incident in a Stoke-on-Trent nightclub.

Stoke City striker Ricardo Fuller is accused of assaulting a 21-year-old man in the JFK Nightclub in Trinity Street, Hanley early on Sunday.

A spokesman for Stoke City, who beat Blackburn 3-0 at home on Saturday, confirmed the arrest but said there would be no further comment.

Staffordshire Police said a 30-year-old man was arrested and later bailed.

The Jamaican international, who joined Stoke City in August 2006, is due to report back to police next month.

A police spokeswoman said the victim suffered minor facial injuries and did not need hospital treatment.

Officers were called to the nightclub at about 0100 GMT and the spokeswoman urged any witnesses to contact them on 0300 1234455.

Mr Fuller was in the team that defeated Blackburn on Saturday.

Its a fix i tell ya, a fix....!

Nicest away strip in the prem i think you'll find worn by a man born to be king...

Portsmouth get a weeks stay of execution..

Cardiff get 28 days stay of execution...

Southend get 28 days stay of execution...

Why couldn't he do this at City?




He has to be a mile offside like, but still a quality finish.

I saw someone do that in the prem last season and its ragging me head now as to who it was....

EDIT - The Zola goal ...

Wow - first time in a long time I've got a crystal clear, 100% stream on a game.


Kicks off in 5 ... hope it stays that way.

NORWEGIAN punk rockers have written a song declaring their undying love for Blackburn Rovers.

The band, Seven, have penned a tribute called Blackburn (Rovers In
His Heart), telling the true story of a boy who loves the club more
than anything else – including his girlfriend.

And the guitar-based track namechecks Rovers legend Colin
Hendry rather than Norwegian stars such as current player Morten Gamst
Pedersen and old favourite Henning Berg, who helped lift the
Premiership trophy for the club in 1995.

Asle Roedfjell, 31, promoter of the band, said the song was proving popular on football forums in the UK and Norway.

The Rovers fan said: “It’s the true story of a former band member
who lost his heart to Blackburn Rovers, and then he lost his
girlfriend.

"It has a cross-over appeal because a lot of people can relate to it.

“There are a lot of people in Norway who follow Blackburn Rovers like all the other big Premier League clubs.

"Norwegian people are known for their craziness for UK football!

“Blackburn also have an association with Norwegian stars like Morten Gamst Pedersen and Henning Berg.

“They are some of the best players this country has produced and
having those players in a Blackburn Rovers team increases the
popularity of the club here.

“Every Saturday night we watch the hightlights on the TV.

“It’s true, though, that Colin Hendry is the only player in the song, and he’s actually Scottish!

“But a lot of people here think of Colin when they think of Blackburn Rovers. He was a legendary player.”

Asle has been in touch with the club to ask if the band can perform
at the ground on a matchday, and he is planning a tour in the local
area next year.

The song is sung in English and is being supported by the Blackburn
Rovers Supporters’ Association Norway website, where a high-quality mp3
download is available at http://www.brscn.com.

Seven have released five albums, featured on MTV and have had chart hits in Norway.

AHA!

Yeah those crazy Scandanavian bastards ...

Just been reading on the Norweigan Rovers Supporters Website ... some guy (probably called Lars or Jacob) is a season ticket holder at Ewood and travels to every game!





WHY??
