thank f*** for that.

[Jezzman]

Yes, good news that!

[Guz]

Is it too soft to hope our club doessomething in the way of compensation or somthing for the Blackburn fans who would have made arrangements for the 15th? Considering the game has been moved for the 2nd time and that it's on an Easter Sunday, I wouldve thought the rovers fans would be fuming.

The original games was to be shown on Sky.

 

Are they showing it now it's been moved, does anyone know?

[Dominus Maximus]

If not, would Blacburn want compensation?

"If people think it is better to change the date, then we will accept that," said Rovers boss Mark Hughes.

 

He added: "It's a very emotive day, and we understand that. We flagged up the issue before anybody else, so we have always been receptive to every sensitivity there is about the actual day, and I think that will be the case again.

 

"But we're mindful people have made arrangements, and the kick-off has been changed once.

 

"If there is a real desire from Liverpool and the Premier League for it to be changed, and I think there is, then we have to go along with that.

 

"I can understand that because this kind of thing takes priority over football"

Great news, I do feel a lot better now that we aren't playing on this date. It still hurts though that we needed to be knocked out of Europe for this to happen.

Funny isn't it - Mark Hughes, who I thought was a complete c**t throughout his playing career, actually turns out to be a pretty decent bloke I've thought since he has become a manager...

I think Hughes has always been this way, we just hated him because he played for them.

I think you're right Kev - people used to tell me that although he was a nark on the pitch, that off the pitch he was a real gent, and that looks to be true.

 

He's doing a great job at Blackburn as well; they really are great to watch...

Mark Hughes in forgiveness by Scousers shock.

Well I have (had) a grudging respect for (looks round to see who's watching) Ryan Giggs and Brian McClair. There, I've said it...go on, hang me!

i dont mind Ryan Giggs......

 

Brian Mclair made me laugh..esp that pen at Arsenal

[Paul B]

I liked Brian McClair as he was one of the first (if not the only) footballer to go to Nicaragua to teach kids football WHILE he was still a big-name player at United and while the country was still under the fat controller's wrath (America).

fair enough

[Leo No.8]

I've never had a problem with Keane myself, nor did I with Cantona or Schmeichel.

 

Can't stand Giggs though - see I don't mind the eccentric, ranting 'don't give a f**k' types, it's the whinging little sly b*stards like Giggs and Ronaldo I hate.

 

Every time a decision is given against United Giggs is there, no matter where on the pitch it happens, screwing up his face, pointing and whining into the refs ear...

Unlike the greatest player we ever had who was, of course, not like that at all in any way and anyone who says differently is a lying b*****d oh yes-sirree-bob! No, the reason I like Giggsy (am I allowed to call him "Giggsy"?) is that he is always respectful about Liverpool FC whenever he is asked about us.

[badtodabone]

Blackburn have behaved okay in this I think.

 

certainly seems that way, well done

I f*cking hate McLair and don't care who he taught football to.

 

i agree

When he played for Southampton at Anfield, he came to take a corner and started ripping the grass up and shouting at the Kop "This pitch is f*cking sh*t and it's always been f*cking sh*t".

The only reason he went there was because the ball from his penalty kick at Highbury landed there.
