[Archived] Burnley Relegation Watch

[Iceman]

Watching that lot, is the funniest ###### ever. And to think the Burnley fans, had the nerve to come on here and think they would end above us. Hahahaha

[Inta Beaver]

I got 7-1 at 10/1 at half time! I dont think the Dingles will score though!

[Exiled_Rover]

You say that, but Fletcher's just scored the best goal of the match. Super finish.

[OhmiBRFC]

Please bag a few more and shatter any confidence thy had left

only problem is there surely will be a managerial change now

I thought it was a joke when I heard they were 3-0 down after 7 minutes then to find the scoreline is 6-1 is just beautiful.

May perpetual light always shine on you Mr Brian Laws, a true football genius.

talk about desperation

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

Jesus wept,can we have a worthy rival please WHO AINT A LAUGHING STOCK ON AND OFF THE PITCH!

What a shame the water on the pitch didn't clear as fast as the Burnley fans in the stands.....LAST WEEK THEY WOULDN'T LEAVE,THIS WEEK THEY COULDN'T GET OUT FAST ENOUGH!!

Keep 'em coming boys 'n' girls.......

[Pugg]

Well the 'no gap' at the start of the season has turned in to a flipping big one!

Shame the weather was so bad today or it could have been a lot more entertaining.

[1864roverite]

In his post match comments (last ever maybe?), Laws has apologised to the Burnley fans about a lack of turning up for the game whilst mankini could hardly keep his face straight when asked about the question of the first 20 minutes performance.

Quality is made in dingleland.

[darwenblueswearehere]

Thank you Dingles. For the umpteenth time this season I had £20 on your opponents to score 5 or more, and I've just broken through the £2k profit margin.

If it hadn't rained Citeh would've scored 10 the way it was going.

according to burnley's official site

Cort's last booking came in August 2009, but prior to that he had not been booked or sent off since April 2004, a run of over 150 competitive games!

is it any wonder they can't defend when their centre back has a record like that? bookings aren't to be encouraged, but given how poorly he's played for them you'd imagine he might have miss-timed a few challenges. same goes for the last 6 years for the other clubs he's played for.

[1864roverite]

DarwenBlue thats six season tickets in the JW Upper, or 15 in the Darwen End, go an treat your mates on little ol' burnley.

[Ossydave]

Cort was actually their biggest goal threat last week, should put him up front.

[deryck guyler's spoon]

Last week they had the police as a distraction (it was all their fault), this week it's all ok as they are the "best fans in the world" (copyright claretsmad) again.

[braddock]

Laws post match interview after his final game in charge of Sheffield Wednesday:

Our supporters don't deserve what they saw in the first half, our defence was all over the place.

We have to believe we can turn this round, and I believe that we can, because the hole we are in is getting deeper

If he hadn't been saying this for a month and a half i'd suspect he was on the way out soon.

[cletus]

Me & my better half went for a lovely walk just after tea this evening. The sun was shining & it felt like spring was in the air

Walking back along Livesey Branch Road towards Ewood we could see a rather nasty black cloud way over in the distance. "I hope it`s not coming our way" i said to the missus A bit further down the road a wonderful rainbow appeared in the sky. It looked like it was right over Ewood Park. I said it would`ve made a good photograph. When we got in, i put the telly on, only to find that rather large black cloud was dumping loads of water down on Turd Morgue.....then i saw the score-line!! haha!!

It made a fitting end to our day

[USABlue]

Excellent result, loved the fans bailing out after only 7 mins. Classic.

[Grabbi Graeme]

The pitch seemed to get waterlogged very quickly, the first half it didn't seem too bad but by the second half it was awful, is this down to bad drainage or maybe the ground staff not doing much during half time in an attempt to get the game abandoned.

The best bit was radio Lancs said before the game that the ground staff had heavelly watered the pitch.They have had problems with the drainage for a few years at the turd since they built the new stands.

[American]

Disappointed in Man City - only drew the second half 1-1...

[thenodrog]

Easily explained USA.......... "They've got champagne tastes on beer money" Stan Ternent circa 2000-2001.

Furthermore pitting Burnleys defence against Bellamy, Adebayor and Tevez makes me recall another Stanism from 2000/2001 season which loosely quoted was .... "when they have Ferrari's and we have mini's there's only going to be one outcome'.

[jim mk2]

I actually feel sorry for Burnley. They are so clearly out of their depth now led by a hopeless manager.

Best result of the day yesterday was at the Stadium of Light - Sunderland should have stuck five or six on Arry's london wide boys.

[thenodrog]

Watching MoTD they highlighted the dingle walking out and smashing his fist onto the exit wall in (to paraphrase Simon and Garfunkel) his anger and his rage.

.......... I bet both his little fingers are throbbing like hell this morning!

[Tyrone Shoelaces]

Good job for them it rained, if it had have stayed dry that would have ended in double figures. I can't see Laws being there for the Hull game, if he is they've no chance.

[1864roverite]

Jimbo lad, how can you sympathise with the dingles? Do you think one of them would come out with such a statement if the tables had been reversed and it was us up the creek without a paddle ?

what is happening over in dingleshire is providing the entertainment for their local rivals and the rest of Lancashire. The lashers and nobenders are having a ball knowing the dingles will be back in their league next year whilst we at Ewood are just having a laugh at their expense.

Just cast your mind back pre-season and the hype from the dingles. They all thought they would be above us and that we would struggle.

Like Sir Bob Fleming said, they were only saying hello
