you were a Rovers fan ? Forest felled and The Rams silenced. Will Rovers be next to be put to the sword ?

You could not silence The Rams without the most(incompetent, corrupt, misjudged refereeing in recent history - you choose the adjective)
It was a clear trip causing his foot to slide and Mr Madley said it was a dive. I know it was not a dive. You know it was not a dive and now I should think even Madley knows it was not a dive. Moreover the Football League know it was not a dive.
And Derby went on to score. The goal should have counted, Martin should have stayed on the pitch and then we would at least know which was the better side. Madley should be sat down in front of a camera and openly discuss with Steve McLaren why he thought it was a dive. He should also have to explain why he did not blow when your goalie carried the ball outside his area.
You have to wonder if he had placed a bet on the result.

You haven't beaten Blackburn in 35 years so what makes you think that will change.
Could be back to 2 points by Saturday.
It's not over yet.

I watched the game live on tv. In my opinion Martin slipped and did not dive. It was impossible to tell if Trippier made any contact with Martin. I thought the referee was poor throughout making a number of poor/bad decisions. For example in the very first couple of minutes Martin clearly and deliberately back elbowed Shackell. At any other stage of the game he would have got a straight red. There were many other bad decisions both ways. Derby have by far the easiest run in and I agree it is far from over and neither of us should write QPR and even Wigan off. If I were a Derby fan I would be very critical of my manager for coming to Burnley for a point and hoping to nick a 1-0 win. Leaving Bamford out was very strange. With him and Sammon on in the second half you looked a much better team. Just my opinion.

Given how we outplayed them (Bolton Wanderers) on Saturday I would say they certainly should be worried.
To be honest I was stunned at how little threat Rhodes in particular offered against Zat Knight who is almost universally regarded by Trotters as a donkey and our worst defender by a distance. Not only that but their midfield was incredibly ineffective despite them having play off aspirations that before the game against us looked reasonably realistic to me.
I predict a Burnley win, 2 - 0 at least. Dyche has you playing some very good football and uses as a matter of course a similar strategic and tactical setup to the one we used and Rovers don't appear to have any answer to it. Get them onto the back foot and they seem unable to get back into the game.

Cheers LPP. Good luck for the rest of the season especially against The Rams.

I actually want Leicester and Burnley to go up and Derby in the play offs to go up too...
Just not QPR... Something refreshing about the above 3 in the prem.

I do believe that Leicester, Burnley and Derby are the best three teams and they deserve to go up...........sadly though, the good guys dont always get what they deserve. Thanks for the good wishes
