Rovers are now something like £142m in debt, mainly thanks to Venkys over 14 years of bad decisions. We've only got away with it because they are billionaires. In 2021, Burnley were £50m to the good. 3 years later ALK have taken Burnley close to the amount of our club debt. Hence the player sales. Some are anticipating more in Jan, and even worse times if you don't look like you're going back up. I can see why some Burnley fans don't care for him.

They'll be back to "Pace Out" soon.

You can blame your owner for that, but you've had Alan Pace 3 years? We've had Venkys for 14 years. The only thing to cheer about was promotion from L1. If you have another 11 years of Alan Pace selling all of your best players and spending 5% of their worth, and you come to a recently relegated from the PL Rovers @ Ewood Park, after we've just spent £5m on a midfielder, and we only manage a draw against 10 Burnley players. On top of that Burnley managed a perfectly legitimate, but disallowed goal. And let's not forget Alan Pace taking everything out and not putting anything in... I'll hold my hand up and say that's an excellent result and we really should have done better. And I'd be a bit worried.

We scored twice. There was also the chance where Dolan could have passed to Weimann but decided to take the shot on himself. Travis had a perfect opportunity to score. There was that moment that Trafford was scrambling about. I'd say we had the most clear cut chances, and should have won 2-1 if the officials hadn't lost the plot. You did have more passes, but you don't win anything for possession alone as we discovered with Mowbray. We dropped points on a weekly basis over so-called inferior opposition due to Mowbray caring more for possession than goals. Snap. I'm not sure if you noticed but we've also had a lot of changes recently. We still had our old goalie in. And we'd sold this leagues top scorer. Don't have our wonderkids any more. I could have just said we have a tw@t as a CEO and owners from hell, and that would have balanced things up, but we've had plenty of other challenges too. We certainly didn't spend £5m on a player from utd. He certainly missed that one where Hannibal deliberately studded one of ours. Parker didn't, that's why he took him off. Commentators said he's had previous at Utd. I think you started the game well and were buoyed up by being at home along with the confidence of recent history. Our lads were a bit overwhelmed initially. It didn't help that any small amount of contact was met with a free kick for Burnley, many times accompanied by a card. Had we been able to field our strongest team, fully fit, I think the gulf would have been even less. They don't need to have any fear going into the return fixture. Saying you were the much better side is a bit deluded. We could have beat you 3-1 on a different day and if all's fair we should have beat you 2-1. And we had 10 men for a prolonged period. What did Burnley actually do apart from a lot of huff and puff? As I've said, you remind me of when we were managed by Mowbray. Honestly, Oxford were better and played with the same belief for the entire game, not just the first 30 minutes. They also played against 11 albeit with a more balanced referee. No excuses come the end of the season though, you should walk it. Though if I were you I'd be hoping for a striker in January as you should have done better against our defence and keeper. You'll get nothing out of better defences.

Ignoring that their £5m United reject purposely raised his leg and dragged his studs across an opponents shins. Then brought off because Parker knew he was going to get sent off on his debut. Course with that ref, we all knew he could have machete'd his Mum and he still wouldn't have sent him off.

The arguing over the merits of a 1-1 away draw, along with the mass delusion that it's (a) not a decent result, plus (b) shouldn't have been a 2-1 win, is a sight to behold on social media. They are now trying to convince themselves that they are somehow hard done by due to their outgoing players, despite spending what is it? £150m+ over two seasons for what amounted to a massive failure of a PL campaign. They've spent on one player more than our entire transfer window. Oh and they had four players starting who had never played a full match. We couldn't even play our new players including most importantly the goalie, and had a kid who'd been in the building for two days at fullback, Weimann starting for the first time. My advice, stay out of it, let them wind themselves silly up about it.

Most people I speak to are happy to take a point away but disappointed we didn't win it, what with us scoring two legitimate goals, having a couple of really good chances, them looking abysmal upfront and the most biased ref since 1994.

From the bumhole forum. How was it a foul on the Burnley defender in any way? He took Hedges out and then Dolan went on to score a perfectly good goal which was unfairly chalked off as offside. Goal and booking for their defender if there was VAR. It's not a foul by a Rovers player in any outcome.

On the other hand... https://www.uptheclarets.com/messageboard/viewtopic.php?style=2&p=2412967#p2412967

Some decent folk on there to be fair calling it out. There's just a lot with their heads in the sand, same ones who think what they are experiencing is just a blip. We know otherwise as we've been through it.

Their forum is called something like Up the bumhole end.

They reminded me of us under Mowbray. Lots of possession but no end result.

The injuries were ruthless too.

Leeds away next so we'll see how they cope with that.

Oxford apparently now a good team that beat Norwich - PNE fans 😄

There was a moment in the game where it cut to Eustace reacting to something that Pears did and he clearly wasn't impressed. I'll be shocked if he sticks with him.

Maybe Burnley should speak to the FA about allowing them to start with 10 or less in the rest of their games. Could help them get promoted. Only in the mind of the average thick Dingle this makes sense.

Pears was awful yesterday. Twice he kicked it straight to a Burnley player. At one point he ran out and took out one of his own players. Thankfully it didn't affect the scoreline.

I'd drop Brittain out of a plane.

Foster won't be up against the likes of Brittain and Hyam every week. They made it easy pickings for an average striker who looked visibly out of shape.

Before Burnley game we were winning. Then when we were getting beat in the first half yesterday you were saying it was going to a thrashing from Burnley and then Weimann scored a worldie. Please change this to a loss.

Many of them wanted Burnley to win yesterday. No idea why. And last year were saying they prefer Burnley in the PL to us. Hence a bunch of Dingle-lites. They are a bonkers bunch. And ps, in the early 90s I remember times in the Nutall St stand enclosure and PNE fans would be in there with their PNE hats and scarves cheering on the Rovers. As I said, bonkers.

He clearly fouled Hedges!

They think it will happen either way.

And the dingle that took down Hedges didn't get penalised too. Should have been a goal and a card.
