Was just wondering...are there any other BRFC fans in Malaysia...i hardly know anyone else...i feel so so alone...

There is a friend of mine, who is also a lyn member here. His nickname is gallagher and he is a genuine rovers fan also like you. Don't worry!

My friend is a Rovers fan too. But, he is not from LYN.

Wow tis bout time a Rovers thread popped up. It's good to know there are other Rovers fan in Malaysia, TC how long have you been supporting Blackburn?

Kevin Gallager??

That's a very old picture in your avatar. 1993 IIRC.

This was the jersey won by the only season when you lot beat us to win the EPL championship in 1994-1995 season:

Well they did give you Hennig Berg in return He is still the only player to have won 2 Premiership titles with 2 different teams.

Yeah... That's true..

Would respect those who still stick to Rovers. Mind you, during those days back then.. they were the strongers competitors besides than Liverpool and United for the EPL. But I would say after Dalglish left, the team was never the same again.

yeah thats true...blackburn weren't the same...i think we made too many bad purchases during the last ten years...

The like of tugay, bennedict mccarthy and bentley is not one of them.

Ah, the days of S & S strikes fears into opposition defenders

They also had a reliable reserve striker in Kevin Gallagher. Also, a lot of the ammunition was supplied by Stuart Ripley on the right flank.

The current team of McCarthy + Santa Cruz upfront and Pedersen & Bentley on the flanks are doing well also

Santa Cruz looks to be the bargain buy for Rovers in the summer. Also their CB, Samba

Anyway, there are rumours [link] of Mark Hughes to replace Jol at WHL. Opinion?

got a friend of mine.. lyn nickname dzariq.. he's a true blackburn fan lol

I agree, Santa Cruz is indeed turning out to be a real bargain. Such has been McCarthy's form that he now has his own song. I have no idea why Bentley is yet to turn out for England's senior side.

I guess both you and me know the answer which we had discussed/mentioned many time in the England thread Plus the sudden back to form [for England] of SWP aren't helping either.

Bentley keep getting in and out the senior squad recently but didn't played much. But his form for Blackburn has been , even outshine Pedersen who seems to has a slow start to this season

yeah i agree....but there were so many bad ones...grabbi, amoruso, davies, ferguson, dailly, ashley ward...who altogether cost about 30 million pounds...hardly did anything for the club....and Hughes got samba, benni, santa, dunn, roberts for half of that...

I still believe Grabbi would have been a decent player if he was given the chance, but that prick Souness thought otherwise.

I'd rather him not be in the senior team anyway, let em concentrate on club football, he's one of the best right winger since the days of Ripley.

wondering where can i get blackburn home jersey?

remembered Blackburn's favourite Matt Jansen?
after the car accident, he really cannot get back his best form...now where is he already?

I really like that lad playing...

Nowhere in Malaysia. I bought all of mine here in England, and i just snapped another on Ebay.

www.rovers-store.com. You can purchase the current seasons kit on there, albeit a little expensive.

Added on October 25, 2007, 11:32 pmI liked that lad too, but he never recovered after his bike accident. Shame because him and David Thompson were both on the verge of getting call ups from the England team. Last i heard he went back to Carlisle Utd to step up his fitness but i don't think he was offered a professional contract. I guess his professional career is just about over.

yeah Jansen was great...he and dunn were about to be england seniors then...but things weren't meant to be...he's not playing professional football anymore, i think he's doing some charity football...

What a shame. Pure bad luck. He seems to be dogged by injuries even before the accident. It's just one of those things. Same goes to Dunn & Thompson. But at least those 2 are still playing

Injuries are one thing...but a bike accident ruining your career like that...really upsetting!!

try www.weston.com.sg mate. think they have had new stock of the kits, both home and away.

yeah...car accident can ruin a player's career, a good example will be Chris Coleman (ex-fulham manager)

Blackburn best partnership... Shearer and Sutton..

just hope brfc can beat portsmouth tonite...tough away match...

to all your Blackburn fans out there...

stocks of the Blackburn kit are in! but no red NNs though, so maybe you guys can get the full set with the away instead, which uses white EPL NNs. good luck!

How ironic that they decide to sell Blackburn kits NOW when i'm not in the country, as oppose to many years before when i was still in Malaysia. What's the price of the kits though? It's less than £30 during Christmas sales, with letter and numbering going for 50p a piece.

I think you better buy them at UK. Here it's around RM259 if I'm not mistaken.

Schemeichel7 bro, all umbro kits are selling for RM199 in ALI now.

yea latest promo price RM199. super deal that. only thing is that they don't have the red NNs.

is there, should i dare ask, a BRFC fan club in malaysia?? I remember there used to be one way back, but am not too sure what happened to it...

Afaik I don't remember one in Malaysia. You could always hook up with the BRFC fan club in Singapore though On a side note, i just got my 98-00 home kit via ebay. Chuffed to bits i tell ya

Hello everyone..just want you guys to know that..here.. http://blackburnroversmy.blogspot.com/ ..do support me..or you guys really serious in create a Blackburn rovers fan club..do contact me..damndirtyapes86@gmail.com

Nice to see Blackburn Rovers fans around !.....

Hahaha Stuart Ripley alright... the only outfield player for the team who can't score a goal for nuts!!!

They were one of the few teams that I used to "support" back in the days when Liverpool's average season was finishing in #5 - #7. And Blackburn were the only team to have broken United's winning streak! Of course it also helped that Dalglish was their manager.

If I remember correctly, Blackburn was also the first team that neutrals accused of "buying" the Championship when Jack Walker bought up the club and released the funds for them to buy all the good players. S&S was a great example... and boy I really did love following the team back then... Sherwood, Henningberg, Le Saux, Flowers, Ripley... and the rock solid Colin Hendry!!! We also used to joke that Blackburn were the only team that didn't have a black player then...

Haha..i didnt remeber anything back in 1994..when i was introduced to football..i was fall in love with blackburn rovers because of chris sutton.I was only 8 years old that time..

Chris Sutton, Gallagher, Shearer, Tim Flower, Tim Sherwood, hehehe, really famous team at that time.

woah,im impress..i thot the old-skool boys already give up on blackburn..but they're still here..good2

yeah, they were great times. but currently, we're in trouble...

I did follow Blackburn back in 95 when the won the league, even though I was already a Liverpool fan. They were the only team to have managed to dethrone Man Utd, and they contributed to an exciting season with some really good game plays, especially in the final run-up to the season end. They were easily my "2nd team" back then. Unfortunately, the entire team crumbled very soon after winning the league, and they then got relegated.
