Your "awareness" is not what it once was boggles.
Sam spoke about it first, and shortly afterwards, without any question to do with Sam or Blackburn (the question was about the Everton match & wat Moyes had built there), without any prompting from the press, SAF brought that harmless question back to an attack on rafa & his comments on Everton a couple of years ago, then swiftly moved into "oh but i'll tell you cannot be excused, his dismissive actions against Sam, did you see it?"......to emphasise the point how this was planned, he actually ASKS THE JOURNALISTS if they'd seen it. On the same morning Sam spoke, despite not mentioning anything in the week previous.
You can thank me later for correcting your error
So again, Sam Alldardyce, instead of focusing all his energies on saving his side from relegation, colluded with Alex Ferguson to make false allegations & attempt to unsettle a foreign manager in the PL (as he has done with his numerous outbursts against Rafa over the years)....tell me again about all the good work he does for the LMA?! :rolleyes:0 -

Watch it again Alan, the full version.
The Journalist prompts him after that by saying
"You mentioned Rafa, he has had alot to say for himself in the last number of weeks"
Ferguson calls him arrogant, etc.So again, Sam Alldardyce, instead of focusing all his energies on saving his side from relegation, colluded with Alex Ferguson to make false allegations & attempt to unsettle a foreign manager in the PL (as he has done with his numerous outbursts against Rafa over the years)....tell me again about all the good work he does for the LMA?! :rolleyes:
You tell me how you feel about the manager of your football team having a go at successful managers, with fhacts and rants but yet has scored a hatrick of seasons with no succes, do you think Rafa should concentrate on Liverpool winning trophies then using the press to air his dislike for managers?
José was arrogant like Rafa, but at least he had the success to back it up.0 -
I'm not getting into it with you again Boggles re:Rafa success etc etc, its been done-you'll just try & get a rise out of me talking rubbish. sorry, but it aint happening.
now onto Sam being a pawn....which is what we'er discussing. Proof the attack was planned by the two?
the journalist says here Rafa has had a lot to say over the last few weeks (after SAF already mentioned Rafa earlier in the conference), the journalist is obiviosuly refering to the comments about Utd & Ferguson over the last number of weeks...Ferguson brings Sam into it totally unprompted & actually goes out of his way to ask the journalists had they seen it and he explains to the journalists what happened & explains the gestures.
No prompting there in regards to the outburst Sam had made around the same time. In fact with Alex having to explain what happened, it would be safe to assume, they weren't yet aware.... remember both stories broke at around the same time. It was calculated by Sam & Alex, i know, you know it & everyone knows it.
Or are you going to claim that it was simply a co-incidence the two managers brought it up within very little time of each other, a week after the event in question?
If Blackburn get relegated, Rovers fans should really be asking their manager why he used their club as a vehicle for Utd to carry out a vendetta against Rafa.0 -

The one weird thing is that you seem to only remember the bad things that somebody says, I have always rated Rafa but I said that I thought he needed to learn how to beat those defensive sides and to let the team loose on the pitch. He has done that recently in two big games and how entertaining were Liverpool. Could you imagine what they'd do to the Stokes and Hulls of this world playing like that?Ok EagleEye, fair enough, but most of what you said was shown to be nonsense. So don't be expecting any sympathy from me when Blackburn crash & burn
Anyways if you are shouting for Rovers to fail, then don't expect any sympathy from me if you lose out in any games. I think most of what I've said about Liverpool has been positive over my time in this forum.
Also on a side note, I said I'll back Big Sam until such time as there is proof that this did not happen. Do you really expect me to take the side of a manager of another team when its not certain either way. I think you'll find that I did not back Fergie at any stage regarding his comments, and I also did not say that Rafa had defintitely signalled that way. The thing is that I have to give the benefit of any doubt to Big Sam(just like you will always do for Rafa) so I'm sticking to my view on the matter.
Now will you please take that horrible youtube off the post, I can't stomach opening the thread and seeing that head.0 -

are you mad?! i'd dying for a return to 1-0 matches, my heart can't take much more of that swashbuckling football!

done, you might like the one i put there instead. always felt Rafa made a mistake letting him go (see, even i can admit when my manager does something wrong). one of the most under rated players in the PL imo. 0 -

The time has come to say goodbye to the legend that is Tugay Kerimoglu. The man has been brilliant for us since 2001 right up until this season where his age seems to have finally caught up with him. As said in the past by other managers he would have been top of their shopping lists if he was younger. He is without doubt the best midfielder that has ever played for our club imo. A sad day for all followers of Blackburn Rovers.

Total Professional, Maybe not the quickest or most combative Midfield player, but as the saying goes 'He could see a pass', superb passer with gr8 vision, could see a player in a good position AND make the pass drop to his feet.
Great that he was still playing this year,k we could do with more of his quality.
Good Luck TUGAY! 0 -

I love the way Big Sam is always so quick to move. And this was done very quietly, not even a hint of anything.Sam Allardyce has made his first foray into the summer transfer market wtih the capture of Elrio Van Heerden.
The South African international arrives on a free transfer from Belgium side Club Brugge and has put pen-to-paper on a two-year deal with the Ewood Park club.
A speedy midfielder who is comfortable on either flank or through the centre of the park, the 25-year-old started his professional career in Denmark in 2002 at FC Copenhagen, making his debut in 2004 before going on to play 26 times for the Danish club, scoring five times.
A move to Belgium followed in 2006 where he spent two years with Club Brugge, scoring two goals from his 67 appearances.
Capped 25 times, van Heerden is part of the South African squad that will take part in the Confederations Cup this June. Elrio left his country's training camp to sign for Rovers before jetting back to South Africa on Monday.
South Africa face Iraq in Johannesburg on 14th June, New Zealand in Rustenburg on June 17th before their final group match against Spain in Bloemfontein on June 20th.Blackburn boss Sam Allardyce has admitted new signing Elrio van Heerden will need time before he is ready for Premier League action.
The South Africa international winger has moved to Ewood Park on a free transfer from Belgian side Club Brugge.
Van Heerden has put pen to paper on a two-year deal but Allardyce will not be throwing him straight into the all-action environment of England's top-flight.
The Rovers boss wants the 25-year-old to spend some time working on his physique and expects it be closer to Christmas before Van Heerden is fully up to speed.
Impact
Allardyce told the club's official website: "We need to build him up a little strength-wise, he's not the biggest of lads, but he has the similarities of his international team-mate Pienaar who plays at Everton and we all know how well he's done.
"So if he settles quickly and gets stuck in to the regimes that we have, the core strength work, the flexibility, the mobility and we build him up a little bit then I'm sure he'll make an impact as the season progresses.
"I'm not envisaging it will be from the start of the season, I don't want anyone to think that come the 15th of August he's going to be right out there, although that would be a major bonus if that was the case.
"I think in and around the middle of the season we should see the sort of development that we need and then we should see him use his abilities on the field from there on."
Talented
Van Heerden is part of the South Africa squad for this summer's Confederations Cup where Rovers fans will get a chance to see their new signing in action.
Allardyce added: "We'll obviously be out there monitoring him as well now we've signed him. Then when he gets back he's a lot of work to do to get to the Premier League level that we would want him to be.
"We've signed a very talented young man we feel, I think it is a great addition. He's got lots of pace, lots of ability, he can play both sides of the field, wide right, wide left.
"He's been with Brugge for a year or two and had a couple of injuries which has been hiding his talents for a while, but we've monitored him over the last few months."0 -
