Blackburn 1-2 Stoke - the fans' verdict

- Published
We asked for your thoughts following Stoke City's 2-1 win at Blackburn Rovers in the Championship on Tuesday night.
Here are some of your comments:
Blackburn fans
Martin: Perfectly good equalising goal- you have to question why the referee disallowed it!!
Alf: Stoke too quick, too slick and too savvy for Rovers for 80 minutes. Poor ref all game and still don't know why he disallowed the equaliser but a draw would have flattered us. Great away support.
Luke: Played really well. Definitely deserved at least a point. The disallowed goal looked really harsh.
Brian: I have to say I thought it was a poor game overall. A lack of conviction/desire/imagination from both sides and 0-0 would probably have been the expected result, albeit Stoke defended better than Rovers, which wasn't hard to achieve given their two very soft goals. Maybe it's tired legs, but that's being too nice. They all need a kick up the backside! More fight and belief needed.
Will: Rovers played really well most of the game. Keeper has made a howler by being so far out of his net for the miles out free kick. Rovers had another calamity at the back with the own goal but they kept going and it paid off with the first of Gudjohnsen's goals.
The second should have stood. He didn't foul the player, it should have ended 2-2, the ref made the wrong decision. Controversial headlines will begin now as it should instead of a heroic comeback headline. I really hope they play well against West Ham but fear they will get pummelled by them.

Stoke fans
Skeppers: A great result again for Stoke. Disappointing to not get a fourth clean sheet and disappointing to see Vik spill one again. But he is still the best GK in the league. Don't know what the BBurn commentators were on about. We didn't buckle at all. We completely controlled that game. BBurn were poor and didn't start playing until the last 5 minutes so they never deserved anything from this game. It was clearly a push on Wilmot by Gudjohnsen. Ref was spot on.
Roy: Ref let almost everything go, which favoured home side, until the 'goal' at the end. To be fair to him, whatever he saw, he saw it straight away. Looked like he blew his whistle before the striker even headed it.
Lee: Must say I feel that we was very lucky for them to their goal disallowed tonight, but it's about time we had a little luck.
Johno: Got away with it after giving the ball away too often. Soft foul at the end but definite push.
