Blackpool-Blackburn tomorrow

Ally, our kit man with total controll over all our kit
The stage is set for a local derby tomorrow and I’m looking forward to it like a child on Christmas Eve. First of all we have something to fix after a bad visit to Birmingham, and secondly it is a new team and a new stadium for me. Today we had a very good training and my mood is on top again, so this is something I am really looking forward to. The game is sold out and it’s all set for a cracking good game. Blackpool have had a good start to the season and like all other Premier League teams, they must be taken seriously. But we’ve played well this year, but has relatively poor results, so this may be a good match.

I’ll take in mind and appreciate feedback from Josh, Oliver, Sam and Millwall in the previous blog post. But I’m pretty new to this blogging game and have to learn how this works. So feedback is good for me, in that way I can improve. This blog is intended as a fun little glimpse into a Premier League player’s life, and I blog only when I have time for it. And because of the job at Blackburn Rovers, I can’t do this full time. And I write in both Norwegian and English, and it takes time to write in two languages, it’s not like I have studied either Norwegian or English grammar at university level. So please bare with me. But these guys have a good point when it comes to the blog, and I promise an improvement on that point. I answer a few, but far from enough. But I have answered most of those who have sent email, and many are sending the same questions on both mail and blog posts. The conclusion is that I should answer more requests and questions, and I will. I promise! When it comes to the supporters at the games, I take full responsibility and apologize. I’ll come over in the future and I hope I see you tomorrow, then I will come over to say thanks for the support! But I have to fire back at Millwall FC. I do appreciate the feedback and you have a good point, but if you are going to criticize you should be brave enough to put your name on it. I know what your name is because it’s in your email address, but still. 
  And since I’m fireing back I’ll be brave enough to say thank you for the support, because you deserve it, and I appreciate it. No, I love it! 
 
To Johnathan and Luca, you have to send pictures to me with the jersey to [email protected]. Please send two - three different so I have a few. I see that Johnathan has recieved his and hope that Luca is enjoying his as well.

morten lov meg å skåre mot b’pool
 
hey morten good luck for the game tomorrow
  i was just wondering if you got the letter i gave you last home game? xx
Morten!!
I love reading your blogs! This is infact on my bookmarks behind only facebook! Im really missing not being able to get to Ewood this year, I had a season ticket in the Riverside Stand last year, but I am now living in London!!! But I look forward to seeing you play at the next London fixture!!
Have a great game tomorrow! I hope you score a winner! Go for it!
Thanks for being such a loyal player! Its quite rare in the footballing world today!!
Tnx mate. It’s easy to be a loyal player to Blackburn Rovers
 
It`s great to see how you handle constructive criticism! A lot of people have something to learn from you there.
I understand that people want to see more of Morten & etc., but it`s importent for the fans to remember that he`s only human and can`t please everybody.
Why don`t you make a “Questions & Answers”-category on this blog, Morten? Then maybe you won`t have to answer the same questions 100 times.
I`m not sure how you do things way up north in Norway, maybe you got a brainfreeze or something growing up in the cold and dark part of the country, but in the eastern part of Norway we learned norwegian and english grammar in elementary school.
Keep up the good work with the blog! I absolutely love your sence of humor!
Hey there Monica
  Thank you, it’s important to have both positive support and constructive criticism in mind. And i have some Q&A posts on the agenda in near future. And of course we have brainfreaze winter time up north, it sometimes get - 50 degrees celsius in Finnmark. But I’m really surprised that you have Norwegian and English grammar on university level in elementary school in the eastern part. That in mind I ask you why you write “norwegian and english” since it’s written “Norwegian and English” 
  he he he. Now it’s the bed waiting for me, got a game tomorrow and I always go to bed at twelve o’clock before a game, and now I have three minutes to brush my teeth and jump into bed. Good night Mon

Vil ønske dæ lykke t i morra me kampen

Hi Morten,
My shirt arrived today as well and I’ve never been so happy to see the postman!! In fact, the day you announced I’d won the shirt (back in July), it was actually my birthday so just thank you so much for it!
As for the website, you’re doing a fantastic job and a few replies are really nice to us fans because we believe in you and support you. As far as the language goes, you should be complimented…I lived 4 years in Norway and learnt English there but didn’t learn a single word of Norwegian (except for like ha det bra haha)…I should be ashamed. But I learnt a lot about the culture and think it’s an amazing country with amazing people.
Good luck with the game tomorrow, believe in yourself!! I would love to come to games at Ewood but I’m studying in London so the best I can hope for is to come to your away games in the capital.
p.s I’ll take some pictures of me wearing the shirt and then send them to you tomorrow
 
Hi Morten! I have to say you are doing your job very well! I´m always happy when you post your news on blog because fans always like to know what is happening with their idol and sometime there are funny things like with Brede:-) I am your fan for many years and you have always answered my questions at Ewood E-mails on Rovers.co.uk so I was very happy. I have even started to support Rovers and Tromso (I know there were some problems between your dad and the club what I read in Norwegian medias but btw. Tromso is a nice city) because of you and started to love Norway because it is a beautiful country! Even I visited Ewood Park in April 2008 and bought your kit and you scored against Tottenham. That was amazing! I dream of studiing in Norway maybe the next year who knows. So I have been learning a bit Norwegian for almost three years and I really enjoy it.
Your website is amazing and you update very often so I don´t understand critics on you. You cannot have time to answer everyone. But I am glad you read our posts on the website. That means a lot to me. Good luck against Blackpool. Hope Rovers will climb up the table because this squad is very strong.
Regards from the Czech Republic!
Hey Morten!
I would just like to say how much i admire your attitude, both on your website and at matches towards your critics. I sit in the Blackburn end, you’ve almost hit us a few times when you have been practicing your free kicks haha, you just keep going and try and prove them wrong!!
I understand when you are as disappointed, as you must of been on Wednesday night, you probably just want to get back in the dressing room, it’s what i would want to do. But we really do apreciate just a small gesture from you all!! Nearly all the players used to come down to the Blackburn End after home matches(obviously not away ones!Hahahah!!) now it just seems to be Robbo!
Love you website i check it every morning when i get into work! Enjoy playing at Blackpool today, wish i was there watching but i have to work. Good luck and come back with three points!!
Gratulerer me seiern idag!
 
Great game, great game. Not the best you’ve ever played but a game with a lot of fervour (I hope you understand)
 
I’m very happy that Blackburn won this game and next time you score a goal versus Stoke^^
Good luck and greeting from Germany
This is really hard for me to say, thankfully I don`t have to say it to often, but once in a while it`s necessary. OK, here we go; When it comes to the grammar thing, I was wrong, and you were right. Note to self: think twice before being too cocky.
Hello Morten, thank you for the mention. I wasn’t overly criticising I was just pointing it out. I imagine the players feel even worse than the fans after defeats like Villa. But given the time and money spent by fans following Rovers regardless of the result I think players should always thank the fans. But then I have seen you have some very hostile reactions from our fans, notably Stoke away two seasons ago when we lost 1-0 so I guess you may sometimes have your reasons for not wanting to come over, but I always think you should.
No problem mate, I understood it as a well ment advise. But you have point there, and I don’t know if you were at the Blackpool game, but there I did something about it and came over and celecrated with the fans! And in the future I’ll come more over and show my appreciation and respect for our traveling fans, because you are important to us! Now I have a plane to catch, and I’ll write a new blog post when I arrive in Manchester tonight.
Morten
Unfortunately I couldn’t get to Blackpool, really wanted to as it would have been a new ground to visit, and injury time wins are the best for fans! Along with your shirt competitions for your blog we should have a ‘Morten’s next goal celebration’. We can make suggestions on here and when you next score you can do one of the celebrations. The winning celebration gets a signed shirt!
Hi Morten and blackburn fans! I’m not a blackburn fan, I’m a stoke fan (sorry) but I just wanted to leave a comment to say I have respected u as a footballer for quite some time and think that your blog is amazing and very funny! I’ve missed a few weeks comments as I have been in the usa, so just catching up! I missed u coming to the brit, I was very disappointed! I think I may attend the boxing day game to make up for it
  I think your blog is great for blackburn fans and they should be very proud to have you representing their team! I recently purchased a blackburn shirt with your name on the back! Much to my family’s disappointment! I also have to say that blackburns mail order service is brilliant.
Thanks
Kirsty x
Gamst Pedersen your the best
