USABlue , you are wrong and very paranoid it would appear , why would you believe I post to strive to earn your credibility? Just to point out , ive no hatred of rovers on here or any other site, read my posts or are you suggesting i'm pretending to be respectful? My "handle" on here was deemed appropriate by myself due to the fact that johnathan stead is a good freind of a mates brother who is signed at huddersfield and i'll stick to it whether you like it or not, now i'll bid you a good evening

Why not indeed friarsnig, it's a free country as far as i'm aware, as long as admin allows i'll post on here what I want, when I want and under what name I want (if only to annoy shABBEY), if i'm banned then I wont! Nice to see some very sensible rovers fans post on claretsmad, shame their aint a few more!

So al , your post suggests many rovers fans that post on burnley boards have somthing to hide or be ashamed of ?? abbey, awww bless you are amusing in a childlike way! Why do you want al to go, has he upset you?

No mr blue, I have a claret handle but no such thing as a clarrot handle, not trying to mock your speech impediment! Nothing to hide, just prefer to keep any other name to myself simply because I can , others from this board will post on claretsmad under other names , are they hiding somthing? , does'nt bother me , what's in a name?

Sounds very bitchy, are you in touch with your feminine side then? Your right ours aint good and I dont see it "being talked up" but yours aint great either !

So USABlue , only the one's you have met are as you've described? maybe you bring out the worst in people or maybe they say stuff as they know it gets you riled? Sorry but I have no such thing as a clarrot handle! Works both way's SG 194 , will you have a full house v leicester? , how many went to everton?

Yes den , i'm judging via the 2 cup games compared to 2000/01, as I dont watch blackburn in the flesh or on TV that's all I can judge by , last time we were out classed and no arguements that we lost in the cup to a better team but we were not out classed this time!

USABlue , first you talk of sarcasm then donate a post littered with the stuff!! Your problem is that you read an opinion then believe that is the veiw of ALL clarets , all clubs (including yours) have fans with biased and stupid veiws , that is the nature of beast , you read any negative veiws on burnley and store them in your memory whilst forgetting any positives from fans of other clubs because it suits your desire to believe we are the most hated club on the planet, so be it! I with most clarets know damn well we aint the best club in the world but to US we are and always will be whatever the gates or results and I make no apology if that upsets you! But as I posted earlier , i'm intrigued as to your comment that "you know who I am"?? As far as i'm aware , ive never met you or exchanged posts with you other than on here unless you posted under another name?

No stranger than the fact that rovers fans suggest it bigger than ever den! I believe we are nowhere near good enough to play in the premier league and would never suggest you were not a better team but in my opinion, we are no worse or better than we were in 2000/01 despite the league position but rovers are not as good a side as they were 5 years ago and I think your performances and results in the 2 cup games uphold that opinion!

Maybe it's just best to leave in your world of believing how huge you are? Your support at turf moor was fantastic , bringing 4000 was amazing , having 22000 at home was superb , you outsung us at both games and as we knew you would we did'nt even bother trying to compete. Your side was excellent at the turf and you should have won easily , whilst at ewood you should have won by double figures, you are so much better than the last time we met , indeed the gulf between us is now huge! Now you can live happily ever after, regards from someone it appears usablue thinks he knows???

Well posted sparky markey , stop trying to console yourself with childish abuse , you won be happy , I wish I could post like that but maybe I just aint man enough behind my computer? On that note i'll bid this site farewell, be lucky!

Agreed den, maybe cotterill regrets not going for it, imo blackburn were there to be beaten, but yes with AA cup tied and injured we only have 1 striker and dont really have the attacking options but you are still a prem side and maybe if we had attacked more we might have got mullered? We have to be patient , cotterill aint been with us a full season yet and we cant have everything at once, I feel the guy knows what he wants and we have to be pateint while he gets it , there's more spoke from rovers fans about burnley than any positives on blackburn, that for me speaks volumes , at the end of the day without being an attacking threat we still gave you 2 hard games and your through whilst we bow out but with your squad costing much more than ours and earning much much more , can you say you were that much better ??

Den , you made the point yourself, we have not really got the attacking options to hurt you , we are a well organised outfit that sits deep and takes some breaking down , cotterill has done a great job for us , he new our weakness when he came was our defence so he has worked on that , they say you should build from the back and that is what he has done. Now I hope next season he will build a stronger attacking option but we shall see , the pride comes from the performance over both games in the fact that you as a prem side should have turned us especially over 2 games but despite the fact you won , we were never out played in either game and with a bit of luck we could have gone through, so imo the gulf between our 2 clubs is not as wide as 5 years ago and in that we must take some pride! There has been some good honest posting on here if you sift through all the " clarrot and poo ", "turd moor" "bumley" childish rubbish, the bragging rights remain with you but if you like to admit it or not, we are getting nearer and our day will come! I feel since 5 years ago there has grown a mutial respect in many quarters between supporters of both clubs, but realise that the childish insults I often read on here are becuase we are a club heading in the right direction and that appears to bring out a childish fear in some people!

Well that's true, you would'nt know why we were proud tonight because you was'nt there again! But 50% of the the goals with a 10men behind the ball side aint a bad stat is it? Last time you humiliated us with a better side , although you still have a better side it's not as big a gulf as last time, this time you beat us but far far from humiliating us , gutted but a proud dingle!! Now stick that in ya harley and rev it up a bit!!

Ahh so you did watch the game from billington!!! I was in the darwen end "pal" , suppose we never stood up the whole game and never sung the whole game , have your battery's gone?? No need for 2 posts, so I deleted your 2nd one. have your battery's gone??
