Bloody hell lads, we’ve just won at Rovers and all you’re interested in is getting digs in at each other.

That is this forum all over. Unfortunately.

It used to be a whole lot friendlier.

[Joe14]

Up the Clarets

[superdimitri]

The fact the ref was so bad today makes it better.
He gave them everything, sometimes even when they fouled us.
It got so bad they were able to repeatedly foul without any punishment.

I've not been in hiding.

I just decided to keep my opinions to myself more. This isn't a safe place for opinions.

Our defense were absolute Gods today. If we get some players who can attack, we could be a good team.

"Our defence" ! .........but your team lost

[CoolClaret]

**** week for Sutton. Celtic battered at Ibrox and Rovers losing at home to us. Love it.

Couldn't happen to a nicer bloke.

[bobinho]

Well I for one am so relieved. Felt sick as a dog all day. Hate derby day…

Well done Burnley… we remain the dominant force in east Lancashire.

NNN

[jojomk1]

Not that it matters now but did anyone else feel it was a clear pen on Flemming? Bizarre the ref gave a foul the other way.

Andy Hinchcliffe did, as they kept showing replays of it in slow mo

VAR may have intervened but people don't want it ?

[Tribesmen]

I only negitive thing i could say is that i wanted Ash to come on for the last 10 seconds .

WONERFUL DAY .....................

[Bosscat]

Hull City score 1-0 v DL

[The Shire Claret]

Remember though lads and lasses ….

Forget about us and them

Preston are superior ….

[Clevedon Claret]

Well taken goal.

Come off it... youre an absolute nightmare if we dont win, even a draw and youre straight on one.

I wouldn’t say that was an easy watch from the passenger seat on the A1M, but but no derby day ever is for me.

Not sure what to make of the team — our defence is so good that I wonder if it makes the other areas look worse than they are.

Really glad Flemming had his chance. Wish we could bring him into games more!

Thought the team did well, especially when the rules are more leniently applied on the day.

UTC!

[BurnleyFC]

Special mention for the big, fat, female thing, giving it the ‘Yer mum’s yer dad’ chant on camera at the start of the game.

Looking at that state of it, she needs to look closer to home for evidence of interbreeding.

[morninbob]

Just been banned from their forum for pointing out the clear penalty on Flemming, touchy lot aren't they

[Stonehouse]

Just rerunning again from when we scored,brilliant watching the Toothless ones foaming at the mouth when Roberts keeps buying fouls.

[Stonehouse]

Surprised at Humphreys getting man of the match as he was a bit shaky in the last 20 mins

[JR1882]

CJ MOTM by a mile.

[Croydon Claret]

On the Blackbirn forum they're saying it isn't fair that our team cost £150m and we've outspent the entire division. The irony is completely lost on them

The seem to remember winning the league but have conveniently forgotten how they bought it and contributed in totally ******* up football.

[Stonehouse]

Just been on their forum and they’re griping that Preston are after a fullback for £1.5 mill and they only get similar gates so why can’t they spend so much.How the mighty have fallen.

[karatekid]

Some egg on faces in here

Not really. Up until the goal he had done relatively little. Yes he scored but the comments regarding his performance up until then were justified. So no egg on faces as far as I’m concerned.

Spot on, the daft money started when they bought the prem

[TheOriginalLongsider]

If only we had Nathan Tella!

[burnleycclaret]

Their messageboard (which mentions us having a £150m squad 1 post in every 3) admitted they got away with it.

Very good spot.

I had similar thoughts.

It’s almost like a performance is to be judged in its entirety, rather than hot takes all over the place.

[fatboy47]

Ah, the match thread.

Can't be reading the whole thing, but I'd guess the first 60 mins is littered with the usual knicker-wetting fannies, skriking and whining ...if so I just hope the win has ruined their day.

[karatekid]

Not really, just people commenting on how the game was going. Isn’t that what the match thread is for?

[Claretitus]

Hilarious . The knuckle dragging Shadsworth massive are just too thick to get it, aren’t they?

[sjb]

Just been trying to think - did we have a corner at all? I can't remember any, certainly not in the 2nd half.

Nope
No offsides either

[KRBFC]

Then you're dropping Brownhill into a deeper role, where he isn't as effective?

Also, not sure if you remember but the last time we played here Wharton was dominating the game, we were up against it a bit then Corky came on, cropped him, then we started gaining momentum and Benson whipped it in the corner. Hardly a complete domination like you often make out every VK game in the champ was.

The majority of Brownhills goals have come from him making a run from deeper.

Your love in for Parker and hate for Kompany is just bizarre, you will be back to crying after every game next year if we're promoted anyway.

[KRBFC]

Kompany’s most successful spell as manager was when he used Cork, Cullen, and Brownhill together.

As soon as he moved to the setup you’ve suggested above, we became a lily-livered pile of dogger that stunk the place out.

Considering Cork barely played at all after Christmas, you're factually incorrect.

How’s the mood after yesterday? You must be spitting feathers, in your own back yard again.

[dougcollins]

We're way too eager to give corners away imo.

Not that fussed about getting them as we don't know what to do with them!

You're both right, cork played until he was suspended in January, then it was jbg and brownhill Infront of Cullen.

We have conceded the second lowest amount of corners in the Championship so far this season.

[dougcollins]

We could still improve. At least four yesterday were completely avoidable and they almost scored from one.

We clearly conceded too many yesterday, but generally we're not eager to give corners away

What a strange comment, especially after a derby win at our fiercest rivals. VK is gone, he's not the messiah, he's a very naughty boy.

Brownhill's best work comes as the furthest forward midfielder in a 4-2-3-1.. I think anyone who has watched him play in midfield now for us can attest to that. When he's tasked more sitting, we lose his athleticism in getting up and down and leading the press from the front.
