No me mola Mola.

Shocking team selection and the worst derby performance I have ever seen.

Worse than the 0-7 home defeat to Fulham last season.

Diabolical!

1 month to stew now, and possibly 1 month of Brereton talks.
Bleak bleak winter.

"Can we play you every week". Indeed.

Rotherham and even Crawley went there recently and made proper games of it.
Burnley seemed relieved to get an easy gimme game for once.

Barnes is a rough house and hard to play against. Just like speedie was and we all loved him.
You’re spot on Drog. We’ve nobody like that in our squad. Barnes bullied our back line today. We looked so lightweight. I wonder if the manager will change his tactic of playing out from the back?
Burnley fully deserved the win as they were more aggressive and let’s be honest more skilful. We were very poor today.

Back home supping a brew and enjoying some toast after that debacle.

As frwjd states JDT should be apologising. A big shout out to Lancs Police for all the effort they put in today; about 45 mins before the game Burnley morons we’re setting off fireworks and some of the Police horses were very badly spooked. Plety of gangs of Burnley ‘fans’ walking around town before the game looking for Rovers fans to attack. We also had our fair share of drugged up wazzocks trying to spoil the game.

As for Rovers and football…..we did not play any football just hoof ball.

I'm worried personally. I just think they're a better side all round and the last time we played one of those away from home (Sheff Utd) we got totally outplayed and beaten 3-0.
As expected for me. Thanks to parachute payments, there's a few teams in this division who we can't compete with on wage bill and therefore quality.

Burnley are one of them unfortunately so I think we just need to take it on the chin and move on. We're still 3rd.

Agreed.
My last word on the matter ...
Well t'Classico turned out to be a humiliating rout and we were lucky to only lose 3-0.

Jan Dahl Thomasson is new and has very few funds available to him.

However he should know that the motto of Blackburn is Arte et Labore not whatever the Latin translation is of Gutless and Cowardly.

He needs to apologise to the town and the fans.

Money is king, more so in the modern game than ever before. As hard as it is to accept, Burnley have the upper hand at the moment and have had for a good few years, for it to change it would take either them missing out on going back up for a few seasons and losing the parachute money or for The Rovers to somehow scramble their way up and get their feet on the bottom rung of the Premiership money ladder.

Again as hard as it is to take, especially with emotions being so raw after today's pasting, neither of those things are likely to happen this season BUT we live in hope. That hope would be that the owners would dig deep into their pockets in January and back the manager with big money and speculate to accumulate.

We've got some good young talent, no doubt about that, but we need something to bond that talent together, we need some experienced seasoned battlers, today showed that up more than ever. We need some steel to go with the talent.

I'm as disappointed as anyone, that warm horrible feeling I got all over my body when that first goal went in was hard to describe, it was like the feeling you get when someone gives you the worst of worst news, I felt physically sick.

But today of all days we should remember that it's not the end of the world, worse things will happen to every one of us and it also doesn't mean that this season is lost. We're still 3rd, we've still got the chance to strengthen in January and it's still not impossible that we could find our way into the top 6 by the end of the season. Preston will be an ideal game to bounce back in after the break, another local Derby but at home and a chance to put today's shit show behind us and kick on.

I'm still staying positive and will obviously still be giving the team and the manager my 100% support when it matters - during the games.

Sad BUT...............COYBSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Ps I'd also add that it's easier for me to be positive with not having to go into work tomorrow and face the music like some will have to, it's not the end of the world but it is very very important, people who don't follow a team often make light of it, but games like this can really effect someones mood in a big way.

In fact if it doesn't then you're not really a fan.
