[It Is What It Is]

This has 0-0 written all over it.

[JimmyRobbo]

Bath yellow was a bit unexpected.

[Dyched]

Great period of possession for us. Not looking like breaking them down, though.

I think their plan is to score a set piece and just defend.

Wonder what ours is?

[BigGaz]

I don't know how many more times hes going to let them keep kicking us.

[Casper2]

Didn’t realise there are different rules in different matches

[CoolClaret]

Could have been a red and about 5 yellows already for Blackburn.

[THEWELLERNUT70]

We seem to be embroiled in a sh!t ref shocker. Pathetically weak imo

[JimmyRobbo]

Beck kciking that late wasn't even allowed in my day.

[criminalclaret]

There could be a Burnley murder in front of this ref and he wouldn't give anything

[Lubanski]

Some great long balls to Anthony from Egan Riley, came to nothing, pity.

[Casper2]

Trafford WTF

[BurnleyFC]

I know it’s a derby, but they should’ve had at least three bookings so far.

[Kgun5]

This ref is fine. He's letting'em play in a derby.

[burnleycclaret]

Poor pressing then. Let him run.

[JimmyRobbo]

Wonder what ours is?

Good point.

It won't be aiming to sit back and rely on set pieces.

[Casper2]

Half asleep Cullen

[burnleycclaret]

Poor again.

[JimmyRobbo]

No need to touch it Traff.

[KernowHouseClaret]

Sarmiento looking very lightweight in this game imo, most moves break down when they go through him.

[Dyched]

We’re so crap in the final 3rd.

[DCWat]

Stupid from Laurent.

[TsarBomba]

Laurent has been half a yard off the pace all game.

[BurnleyFC]

Lack of movement up top, again and Cullen thinks he’s got an eternity for the ball to get to him.

This is basic stuff.

[CoolClaret]

We're nearly there with our passing triangles.. getting closer each time.

[burnleycclaret]

The longer this goes in the more it's looking like a long ball to Barnes > freekick > goal.

[Casper2]

Referee doing well so far imo
Otherwise he would have booked 20 by the end of the game

But books our player , ok then

[GetIntoEm]

Trafford WTF

Jesus. Get a grip

[HahaYeah]

Stupid yellow for Laurent.

[karatekid]

Is ZF worth his place at the moment. I feel like we are playing with ten men.

[daveisaclaret]

Proper **** reffing this unfortunately. Let the players get away with things and they will escalate to the point where you have to start giving out cards.

[JimmyRobbo]

Laurent deserved that yellow but it was no worse than Beck and nowhere near as bad as Baker.

[BurnleyFC]

Is ZF worth his place at the moment. I feel like we are playing with ten men.

No, but he seems to be Parker’s fall guy.

He’s not a ******* striker!

[burnleycclaret]

Very poor from Anthony. Very poor.

[Dyched]

Proper **** reffing this unfortunately. Let the players get away with things and they will escalate to the point where you have to start giving out cards.

He’s letting things go bit having a word. What do you want him to do?

[AshevilleNCClaret]

not getting any favors from the ref.... blackburn players all suffereing from inner ear infections affecting their balance. they fall down when they aren't even touched !

[mdd2]

Anthony needs to toughen up too

[BigGaz]

Is ZF worth his place at the moment. I feel like we are playing with ten men.

We've said this for all of our strikers. It's the system we play that marginalises their involvement imo

[Dyched]

Anthony is so crap

[GetIntoEm]

I don't think the ref has been that bad. Seems fair

[groove]

Anthony dreadful. It breaks down every time we get in the box.

[GetIntoEm]

Last thing you want in a game like this is loads of yellows

[Socrates]

We’ve scored one first half goal in our last eight games.

[burnleycclaret]

Anthony dreadful. It breaks down every time we get in the box.

I'm shouting at the tv.. RUN!

[Dyched]

I don't think the ref has been that bad. Seems fair

Agree. He’s been letting things go but having a word. Things continued the cards have started coming out.

[karatekid]

If you don’t shoot , you don’t score.

[JimmyRobbo]

Lucky do get a corner there. Awful shot.

How many Balckburn fans can the crowd clap for? Are they missing something on the pitch to applaud at Ewood?

[TsarBomba]

Awful game of football.

[daveisaclaret]

He’s letting things go bit having a word. What do you want him to do?

He booked Laurent for something less than the things he'd let go. It's a really stupid way to ref.

[Casper2]

Awful from both teams apart from CJ

[CoolClaret]

We need to stick a proper striker up top. Flemming just isn't attacking the ball nor occupying centre halves like a proper 9 should be.
