A 2-1 defeat to the Scottish champions is nothing to be too ashamed of.
Unfortunately, I'm not in Australia, so I wasn't there, and there was no chance of me getting up at 6am on a Sunday to watch the game online, so I haven't seen it, but most are saying it was a poor performance.

As I said in my previous post, a rumour emerged yesterday that Rovers had bid £2million for former England, Leicester and Liverpool forward Emile Heskey, now plying his trade at Aston Villa.
It turns out the club is denying the rumour, but it hasn't stopped people talking.
It amuses me how much one player can cause so [...] Read More >>
Rovers flew to Sydney on Thursday in preparation for the Sydney Festival of Football.
While in Australia, Rovers will play in a three-match series against Scottish side Glasgow Rangers tomorrow, AEK Athens of Greece on Wednesday and home side Sydney FC on Saturday.
I, personally, don't see anything wrong with Rovers agreeing to this festival. By the [...] Read More >>

Rovers lost 3-0 at Preston last night.
We shouldn't really take too much from the result, as it was a friendly afterall, but a 3-0 defeat is slightly worrying.
I was unable to make the game as I was on the late shift at work, but what I have heard is this:

Big Sam and Rovers have made no secret of their desire to sign another striker.
Having sold Matt Derbyshire and Benni McCarthy (no great loss) we've been left with two recognised strikers in Niko Kalinic and Jason Roberts.
But a transfer budget of just £2.5 million has seen Allardyce struggle to get anywhere in the market.
This could [...] Read More >>
A day out at Fleetwood followed by a night on the lash round Blackpool. Can it get any better?
It was a typical pre-season friendly at Highbury, with Rovers winning comfortably, despite often finding it difficult to break down a resolute Cod Army that defended reasonably well.
There was a goal in either half. One for Roberts [...] Read More >>
Ah the excitement of the close season. Transfer gossip. Ins and outs. Comings and goings.
Erm, no.
This has been one of the most boring close seasons of my relatively short time as a Rovers fan. You may have guessed this from the dire lack of posts on here.
It's nobody's fault really. The club has so little [...] Read More >>
A lacklustre Blackburn Rovers were shown up by their Lancashire neighbours Preston North End in a 3-0 drubbing tonight.Two first-half headers from summer signing Paul Hayes, the second of them from a cross delivered by the former Blackburn player Keith Treacy, put Preston in control before Michel Salgado fouled Sean St Ledger and Chris Brown [...] Read More >>

Blackburn winger Morten Gamst Pedersen has ended speculation about his future by signing a new four-year deal with the club.The Norway international was out of contract this summer and there was some doubt as to whether he would re-commit to Rovers.But despite reportedly attracting interest from clubs around Europe, Pedersen has opted to stay at [...] Read More >>
The Blackburn Rovers manager, Sam Allardyce, believes the England coach, Fabio Capello, has made "completely the wrong decision" in leaving the goalkeeper Paul Robinson out of his preliminary World Cup squad.Capello picked the Portsmouth veteran David James, Joe Hart ? who has excelled while on loan from Manchester City to Birmingham ? and West Ham's [...] Read More >>
Liverpool may be a long time goneWhile Chelsea, 8-0 victors over Wigan Athletic, cavorted around Stamford Bridge with the Premier League trophy, Steven Gerrard, whose Liverpool side had shambled to a 0-0 draw at relegated Hull City, was scrambling through a mini-pitch invasion at the KC Stadium as a few overamorous Tigers fans attempted to [...] Read More >>
