They've been restless all season.

I'd still suggest Kean is a solid fella.He's a coach who has been asked to manage. He's done a reasonable job with no support from fans and no real input from the board and he's been very brave standing up to all the flack while the board never turn up. Gotta feela bit for the man though i think they are now doomed.He'll turn up and do a good job coaching elsewhere some time next year and the torch and pitchfork wielding amphibians will be staring dumbly at a map of southern asia scratching their heads and making a curious noise somewhere between a grunt and a whimper.

I dont see it as brave. Just a guy totally out of his depth clinging on and knowing that if he loses this well paid job, it will be a long time before he earns anything close to what he's on now.

Understand what you're saying, Harry, and though he's doubtlessly on more wedge that me and thee, I'm not sure any amount can compensate for the vitriolic personal abuse that they've heaped on him. When we played them at Ewood I could swear the town end wanted us to score first just so that they could get on the guy's case. Absolutely inhuman - a complete lack of human spirit, and before Rover the Dog or whoever turns up playing the Megson card, most of us gave the guy a chance, something that I haven't seen afforded to Kean.

Oh aye, the abuse he got that night was shocking. Has it ever been as bad since? I remember our lot turning on McFarland in a home game v West Ham and feeling terrible for him. Despite such abuse, managers rarely walk though. As bad as it must get, financially it would be madness to walk away.

Didn't Cottee score a hat-trick that day? Yeah, I remember the abuse that McFarland took that day, but not Todd. Never ceases to amaze me how tough a collective are when their picking on one guy. I'd hang on for the cash too - and would say I deserve it, if not for my management skills.

Don't think so. I seem to remember a midfielder of theirs practically running through our entire team before scoring. Matty Holmes or somebody like that? :conf:

Fancy us ever losing at home to West Ham :oops:

Remember going for a p*ss at 1-0 just before half time and coming back up to see it was 3-0.

It was that blonde haired lad they bought from Swindon who had his one good game for them against us wasn't it? Can't remember his name.

Is that the game where somebody left early and spray-painted "McFarland Out" on the outer wall of the Lever End?

Well, watch it now as it won't be long before it gets banned for the "sign of the cross" imagary there.

Harry Genshaw · **Posted:** Sun Apr 29, 2012 10:34 pm

They were utterley shocking today. Against a side suffering a loss of form they couldn't manage 1 shot on goal in one of the most negative sterile performances I can ever recall. At 1 down Kean took Yakubu off :shock:
