Ive been a Rovers fan for 23 years, and im 27 years old. Ive never been able to afford to get to Ewood, but you could say im Rovers number 1 fan in South Africa. I know the history between Rovers and Burnley. I also know its a massive contest on and off the field, as ive watched us predictably on many occasions send you lot home with your tail between your legs. ;)

See, now you are talking nonesense. The number ot times we have actually played in the last 23 years can not be described as many. You can to be fair look back on the few occasions we have played though and take comfort in those results, unlike us.

Two wins against two of the 'glamour' clubs and yet still their top flight goals aren't achieved. Still the 30 years of hurt aren't erased.

So true, I speak only for myself here but I would swap those results for 2 wins against your shower, without any doubt. As I have said before, the only thing I would swap 2 wins against you lot for is guarenteed safety. Great to beat Man U and any of the other 'glamour clubs', in fact the Man U result was amazing but not even close to the feeling I will have if we beat you - preferably home and away. On that point I do promise should we win I won't come on and gloat for a few days, should we lose I hope you'll understand if I don't give you the opportunity to rip the crap out of me for a few days by staying away. Some wounds can be a bit to fresh to be poked at nes pas?

Funny things is a mate of mine was asked almost that exact same question by another Burnley fan (after the Man U game where some were suggesting it was the main result they'd wanted this season)

'Why Do You Hate Blackburn?'

My mate didn't know how to answer - I told him the answer was if you need it explaining to you you will never understand. My guess is its the same for most of you, use whatever events or other things to explain it but the truth is you don't know why, you just do.

You don't know why, you just do? How old are you? Do you apply this logic to other area's of your life? Should it be a feasible excuse for anything? Racism - you don't know why, you just do. Paedophilia - you don't know why, you just do. If you need it explaining you will never understand :lol:

I'm obviously giving you some extremes there but I personally don't want to hate anything in my life without a valid reason, and I find it a bit moronic that anyone over a certain age (say 30) would either. Just because you're mates do or your dad did, doesn't make it a valid reason IMO.

A bit of banter, no problem, but hate without a reason - I'll leave that to the morons.

Oh ho - we have a psuedo intellectual on our hands.

Maybe you should do some research on the role of society in informing our views and opinions from birth, pay particular attention to the role of the family in this as well as the wider peer group in the formative years as a child. After doing this research come back and admit what a foolish statement you have just made. You will see that whilst many people, say for example racists, will use incidents to justify their points what they have really done is formed a view in childhood and then found evidence to support that view.

I 'hate' Rovers because I do, I have for as long as I can remember. I could say it is because of the gropu of men who chased me as a 13/14 year old one boxing day but that would be a lie, that just affirmed a view I had formed many many years before. Maybe hate is the wrong term because I have a number of close Rover suporting friends but it is about as good a word as any to capture the depth of feeling.

I just can't hate t'Wovers at the moment.

I'm enjoying watching them struggle to come to terms with the new order of things. Watching them whine and wail as they vanish into our shadow.

But hate? Nah. I wouldn't change them for anything.. they are very, very funny right now.

Lol - does pointing out the obvious make me a psuedo intellectual?

I'm not inclined to do any research to be honest with you. You're supposedly an adult and you hate something for absolutely no apparent reason - there clearly doesn't need to be any further research beyond asking whether that's moronic behaviour or not. I'm not arsed about the causes from childhood etc - as an adult you should clearly be able get beyond that.

I find your racist analogy weird though - you say "racists will use incidents to justify their points what they have really done is formed a view in childhood and then found evidence to support that view" and then go on to describe your own hatred of Rovers as fitting that exact same pattern. Are you saying your hatred for Rovers is actually the same as racism?

It may be the same as Racism - I certainly get uncomfortable around anything blue and white?

No,I was pointing out that all illogical hatreds are essentially the same, though the manifestations of some are far more worrying and dangerous than others. in their development they are very much alike. As a kid you are exposed to a view of something, this quickly becomes your view then as you get older and your brain demands at a least a semblance of logic to keep holding the view you seek evidence to support your current position rather than trying to carry out an honest evaluation of whether the position is valid.

In football terms you actually need the rivalry, especially if you support a smaller club that in the main will win no major honours. At least that is all in my humble opinion.

I take it you don't hate Burnley then Jonno?

ps: and don't worry because I'm confident you didn't find my racism analogy half as concerning as I did you using paedophilia.

Blackburn have started crap over many recent seasons, only to really pull it together around December. Burnley seem to have a manager who can do no wrong at the moment, and have made players play far above their ability. It'll be interesting to see how long that roar of adrenaline will last at Turf Moor, before other teams will start to neutralise them and put quite a few goals past the breast.

I think I'll save that post for the end of the season Sam, when our backward relatives from down the road have collapsed during the marathon, burnt out, run out of ideas, I think you know as well as I do that things will gradually change and the cream will rise....

Agree with that Billy. I think its more a case of teams working out the weaknesses of these promoted teams. Its a long hard season, and the likes of Moyes and SAF will know what to expect, as was the case with Hull last season. Its also a widely regarded that if you dont have the depth in quality, then you will struggle as the season goes on. If i was a Burnley fan(id rather be a ballerina than support Burnley) i would rather keep quiet , because it could all come crashing down in an instant

burnley have sent back 1500 of their tickets for chelsea away, from a 3000 allocation.

On clarets mad they blame the price, tv, kick off time etc - its simply amazing that these same dingles are the ones who regularly abuse rovers for this over the years.,

especially when rovers only took 18,000 to cardiff for a 12 oclock kick off at £50 a ticket...

the worlds best away supported club falls down again.

Welcome to the premier league :lol:

longsiders, I 'hate' Burnley as much as the next man, but - fancy a pint on the result on 18th October?! Loser buys the round?

It's in the catchment area!

Nice one, but in all seriousness:-

Holden was arrested hours later and charged with breaching a suspended jail term for a house burglary.

Appearing at Burnley Crown Court, he was given a one year suspended sentence.

what is the point in that?
