Corner Rotherham

It’ll be more enjoyable to win it at the Turf with the trophy presumably present anyway…

One of the worst displays of officiating that I've ever seen - linesmen, fourth official and ref. Crap

5 mins of extra time

ElectroClaret · Post by **ElectroClaret** » Tue Apr 18, 2023 9:38 pm

Two really poor goals to concede tonight.

Having flashbacks to the early season Burnley here.

They have been appalling! Honestly, they might as well be wearing red and white shirts!!

We do look like the early season Burnley.

Missing Tella up front desperately.

And the wait goes on

Ref has been a disaster.

Our defending has been a disaster.

Rotherham fans are embarrassing themselves

I think the ref might score a late winner for Rotherham

BurnleyFC · Post by **BurnleyFC** » Tue Apr 18, 2023 9:44 pm

Really sloppy from us tonight.

Another point nearer the title.

Did Rotherham win the league tonight or something? That cheer and celebrating at full time is a bit weird.

Kgun5 · Post by **Kgun5** » Tue Apr 18, 2023 9:46 pm

I’d have been upset if we’d lost, but beat Blackburn, finish unbeaten, and top 100 points, and I’m a happy panda.

Foshiznik · Post by **Foshiznik** » Tue Apr 18, 2023 9:46 pm

Rotherham are definitely a league one club.

tiger76 · Post by **tiger76** » Tue Apr 18, 2023 9:46 pm

A game we really should have won, but at least we kept the unbeaten run going.

And it's always better to win the title on your home ground.

NickBFC · Post by **NickBFC** » Tue Apr 18, 2023 9:46 pm

Disappointing again, hopefully get the job done on Saturday but that's two poor results for me.

RVclaret · Post by **RVclaret** » Tue Apr 18, 2023 9:47 pm

Been praising our defending lately (deservedly so) but two sloppy goals there. Played well enough to win the game.

Noblelight · Post by **Noblelight** » Tue Apr 18, 2023 9:47 pm

Yes, should have won tonight. Their young keeper had a decent game for them. But a little lazy from us tonight. But at least we got a point. Win on Saturday and we are officially Champions.

That is ********, we shoot ourselves in the foot again.

I've said so many times this season, the only team that can beat us, is ourselves.

Well the hell you going on about facts say we are one of the best teams ever in this league.

1968claret · Post by **1968claret** » Tue Apr 18, 2023 9:47 pm

Just not playing with the same intensity. Combination of probably the number of changes and just human nature. Subconsciously maybe just not fully at it.
Pretty sure VK will not be happy with that mind.

FCBurnley · Post by **FCBurnley** » Tue Apr 18, 2023 9:47 pm

Not good enough to win. Deserved point for Rotherham. Rovers will be licking their lips

Pickles · Post by **Pickles** » Tue Apr 18, 2023 9:47 pm

Not good enough tonight but don't know how harsh you can be on players who come in and have it all to prove in such a limited amount of time.

Refereeing was abysmal.

But oh well, party atmosphere on Saturday for the title.

Ampth7 · Post by **Ampth7** » Tue Apr 18, 2023 9:47 pm

That’s a good result considering we were up against 11 players plus the ref and the linesman! Incredibly poor officiating display!!

warksclaret · Post by **warksclaret** » Tue Apr 18, 2023 9:47 pm

I think we must have nearly seen enough of the fringe players now

Goalposts · Post by **Goalposts** » Tue Apr 18, 2023 9:47 pm

Says it all when the opposition fans celebrate like they’ve won, not to much wrong in the scheme of things tonight other than a few unnecessary errors. Definitely missed brownhill, but cant really fault anyone for effort.. still 22 unbeaten , chance to win it at home. Season were having shouldn’t grumble

Joint record gone now

100 points is looking a way off at the moment.

Got to give some credit to that Reading team - to keep going when you know it’s done is some achievement.

We’ve certainly gone down a gear or two and of course not helped by injuries and lots of changes.

I’m sort of not bothered now. After we lost the chance to break the record, it’s just about the Championship and next season now.

What a cracking season it’s been.

TsarBomba · Post by **TsarBomba** » Tue Apr 18, 2023 9:48 pm

Really poor goals to concede, especially the second.

We’re going to need to notch it up considerably in a weeks time, but some players, Maatsen being the main culprit, already look like they’re on their hols.

I'm not gonna begrudge them that. I'm pretty certain we did the same when we drew 2-2 at City

wbfc · Post by **wbfc** » Tue Apr 18, 2023 9:48 pm

Good point... can remember Alan Birch destroying us once at Rotherham...not always an easy game...they showed in the game at home that they can score a goal...

Unbeaten run continues....heady times

Woodleyclaret · Post by **Woodleyclaret** » Tue Apr 18, 2023 9:48 pm

Stupid pxxxing about cost goal one but awful non tackling for the second
A very poor 2 games against 2 shite teams

Cirrus_Minor · Post by **Cirrus_Minor** » Tue Apr 18, 2023 9:49 pm

Limping our way over the line a bit but still undefeated. I think the long hard season is taking its toll with some of the players, but still undefeated.

Just watched their first goal again - how is that not a foul on BPF?

Leyland Claret · Post by **Leyland Claret** » Tue Apr 18, 2023 9:50 pm

I think it’s clear that the fringe players are not doing enough. I’m sorry but that was a really poor performance against a very poor Rotherham team. We should have buried them but we have been so sloppy and that continued from the Reading game. Please VK play the strongest team we have on Saturday.

Neil · Post by **Neil** » Tue Apr 18, 2023 9:50 pm

Thought Rotherham were outclassed but didn't give up and had a real go at us, fair play to them.
Bit of pressure off us in a sense now in terms of record points.

I think we'd all accept that we need a bit more in midfield, particularly with Brownhill missing.

Carwin261 · Post by **Carwin261** » Tue Apr 18, 2023 9:50 pm

Only Rotherham drawn more games than us,thought Ian Maatsen had an absolute shocker tonight ,and he’s been good all season,Bobby Maddley let Rotherham get away with murder ,just to confirm what a crap ref he is.
