Commitments to the Blackburn Rovers
It has come out some frustration on this blog with Big Sam leaving the club, but that is natural in a situation like this. People tend to fear changes when we do not know what’s coming. But I would like to request some patience about the situation, if the owners have a wider plan with the club, I think we all should get behind it, and continue to support the club. I’m pretty sure there soon is a new manager who will continue to lead the club in the right direction. My loyalty and commitment lies with Blackburn Rovers, and I will do everything I can both on and off the pitch so that this do not disturb us. No one is bigger than the club, and therefore I encourage everyone to come to Ewood this weekend and give full support to the team. We are stronger togheter. And you are my blue and white army!
Now I’m home in Vadsø at the funeral of my old friend and classmate Øystein Kristoffer Vollan. He unfortunately died in a tragic fall accidental. All my thoughts are with the family. The ceremony was nice, but sad. And Øystein was torn away all too early, and it affects us all. We in the class are way too young to follow each other to the grave, and I hope it is many many years before it happens again.
Morten Gamst Pedersen
Great to hear your commitment to the club Morten you truly are a True Rover, I feel for Big Sam as he did not do too much wrong but this is life and as fans we must move on and look forward to whatever the owners and the new manager want to do at the club. Sorry to hear of your loss and looking forward to cheering you on on Saturday
Hey Morten, Thanks for you assuring words, a sliver lining from the gloomy sky. And RIP Øystein Kristoffer Vollan, thanks for being a wonderful friend to my idol, Morten Gamst Pedersen.
Uff da, det er ikke hyggelig. Kondolerer…
Primarily really sorry to hear of your loss Morten. To you and your friends family. You have my sincere sympathy!
your commitent to the club is so nice to see Morten you really are a true rover!
sorry to hear about the loss of your friend 
heads up for the game on saturday, come on you blues! xx
Please confirm that Maradona as manager is only rumours.
I was born and raised around Ewood and even though I now live in Australia I am still a Rovers fan through and through and you make me proud to be so. I’ve only read your blog on two occasions but each time, my respect for you has grown. From what I have witnessed from watching you play and now from what I read, you are a true gentleman, both on and off the pitch and I commend your loyalty to my beloved team; as well as your voice of reason; especially at this somewhat difficult time. In closing, I am very sorry for your loss.
So Peds how would you like to take over the club…
You’ve now played under Souness, Hughes, Ince, Allardyce.
Souness brought you to the premier league
Under Hughes you flourished and played some of the best football of your career
Under Ince you were marginalised, and I imagine you didn’t get along very well
Allardyce reinstated you as the focal point of the team, and moved you in-field.
How do you think your role in the team will change? Do you think you will play on the wing again? Is that still your preferred position? There’s been talk of a ‘riot’ among the players over Sam’s departure. Bet you were thrilled hearing Maradona’s name being mentioned…all those HUGS you’ll get!!!!
p.s sorry to hear about your friend. Condolences.
Morten,sorry to hear about the tragic death of your friend. My deepest sympathy is with you at this sad time. Thank you for your reassuring words, I am still upset and miffed at events during the past 24 hours and fear for the future of our beloved club but I hear you and will of course continue to give my support to my club and especially to the players during what are going to be massive upcoming games. Take care, R xx
Sorry to hear about you friend.
As normal, you will have my full support from the Blackburn end on Saturday.
I will be placing my usual £10 bet on you scoring first so please dont let me down!

Håper dere får en ny og dyktig manager. Det var et sjokk å lese om at sam Allardyce måtte forlate klubben.
Det va triste å høre om det me vennen din
Kondolerer Morten 
Har opplevd det sjøl

Å håpe de finner en like dyktig manager som Sam va!

Rest In Peace Øystein Kristoffer Vollan, my condolences.
And I’m sure that everything will be alright with Rovers

kondolerer
skikkelig teit at snær 20-åringa ska daue ..
Dear Morten.
I am so very sorry about your friend I really am my thoughts are with you. I hope that you can all comfort each other together at such a difficult time.
I do want you to know there may be some kind of protest against the sacking of Sam and please realise that it is nothing at all against the squad but with those idiots who have come in and decided to do some crazy (polite) things.
Have a safe journey back in time for Saturday and hope you can all stick together as the team you have always been. Let us ALL stick together!!!
Apparently 95% of players agreed Big Sam should go?

8th paragraph down.
It can’t be true can it?
Morten, you have just excelled yourself with that statement and my respect for you grows with each uber sensible post, see you at the weekend at ewood
Hi Arran I try to never believe what I read until there is anybody who comes out and actually says it. Can’t believe 95% wanted Sam out. I know 2 that probably did but no more. Who knows though.
Hi Morten,
I am very sorry to hear about your loss and I will be thinking of you at this very sad time.
I think what you said about the shock with Big Sam was brilliant and shows how professional and caring you really are. I feel that Big Sam did not deserve this and I feel very sorry for him. He did a great job for us after Paul Ince to keep us up and then get us into the top 10. But I also agree with you that we need to support the club at a time like this and see what the new owners have in store before we make any judgements. I will be there at the weekend as always.
Good luck, I’m sure you will make us all proud to be a Rover
You are a legend of this club Morten, and your words give much hope in this strange situation the club is now in. Truly sorry for your loss…
feel sorry for your loss.. Maybe you should score on Saturday for your beloved pal. But don’t feel any pressure to do that. Just do your best, and show us that the team is okay. That’s a relief. *sorry4myLang
It’s great to see your loyalty to the club. This is one of the many reason’s you’re my favourite player, you’re dedicated and that’s what I love about you. Thanks to big Sam for everything he’s done for the Rovers and good luck to him!
Sorry to hear about your loss
sorry to hear about your friend
Hey Morten, so sorry to hear of your friend. It is a tragedy and my thoughts are with his family and friends like you. I lost an old school friend not long ago and I not much younger than you so I kinda know how you feel. It’s not nice or fair is it?!
Hope you have a safe journey back and look forward to seeing you scoring more goals! Love Gemma xx
Firstly, so sorry to hear about your friend, not much else you can say in situations like that, are there?
It’s lovely to hear your feelings on whats happening at the club. As a loyal supporter for 25+ years (since I was a kid) it hurts to read bad things in the paper about my team. I have alwyas been proud of the fact that Rovers have been a family orientated club, with decent morals and standards, and I hate seeing the reaction to whats happened. When Sam was manager, the papers didn’t give him credit for all his hard work, and the incredible way he turned the club around, but now he’s gone, my beloved Rovers are getting bad press for apparently trying to move forward. As supporters, we don’t know what goes on inside the club, we just have to trust (and hope!) that it’s all going to work out for the best. It’s great to hear from players like yourself, loyal to the club, and prepared to trust (and hope) like the rest of us that things will work out for the best for Rovers. In the meantime, it’s fantastic to know that you wil be giving your all for the Blues on Saturday, and as always I’ll be there in the Blackburn End giving my all and cheering you and the rest of the boys on.
Once again, thanks for your honesty and loyalty, and so sorry about your loss.
A tragic, premature death like that of your friend puts all this about Sam and the club into perspective doesn’t it. I think if John Williams stays he will look out for the interests of the club and until we get a new manager, the team must be supported and encouraged to put all this mess aside and concentrate on the game. I saw you all leaving the Bolton match on Sunday ( my daughter paused for a photo with you) and you all looked a little bit down. It’s hard to get back into the game after a defeat let alone after the sacking of an experienced top notch manger but with our support, hopefully Saturday will show the world’s media that Blackburn Rovers are a force to be reckoned with whatever happens. Keep up the good work Morten, I shall claim the title of your most loyal fan.
sorry 2 hear about your friend,i suppose it should put everything into context. your message about getting behind the team is so correct.an excellant message to the fans,thanks
You are a true legend, both as a player and as a person. I hope the uncertainty surrounding the club leads to better thing but it is difficult to have faith. I am very sorry to see Sam Allardyce go as I feel he proved a lot of people (myself included) wrong. Whatever happens, it is the owners that must accept responsibility, certainly not the players and I will support you at every turn. You are having a great season, and long may it continue. Condolences on the passing of your friend - such events put things into perspective - the goings on of a football club are insignificant in comparison.
All our thoughts are with you over the loss of your friend, Morten.
I’m form Thailand . I hope it’s good change.When you comeback Thailand again.
My programmer is trying to convince me to move to .
net from PHP. I have always disliked the idea because of the costs.
But he’s tryiong none the less. I’ve been using WordPress on
a variety of websites for about a year and am anxious about switching to another platform.
I have heard fantastic things about blogengine.net.
Is there a way I can transfer all my wordpress content into it?
Any help would be really appreciated!
