4:55pm Saturday 4th February 2012 in Football
JAY Rodriguez’s superb solo goal earned Burnley a late point at home to Peterborough United in freezing conditions at Turf Moor.
The visitors took the lead in the 12th minute when Paul Taylor dispossessed Ben Mee and surged clear before lashing past Lee Grant.
But Rodriguez levelled with three minutes left as he picked up the ball near the halfway line and darted forward, turning inside Mark Little and firing into the far corner.
David Ball had struck the inside of the post for Peterborough shortly after the opener, having taken advantage of hesitancy between David Edgar and Michael Duff.
Ross Wallace and Charlie Austin both had efforts saved, but the Clarets were far from their best form in the first half and George Boyd fired wide from a good position for Peterborough.
Burnley improved in blizzard conditions after the interval and Jay Rodriguez saw a long-range effort deflected into the side netting and also fired wide from Josh McQuoid’s centre.
Chris McCann put a free header over from Kieran Trippier’s free kick and the Clarets then had a strong penalty appeal turned down in the closing stages as Mark Little appeared to block Wallace’s shot with his arm.
McCann then fired over from a Wallace cross before Rodriguez made it 1-1.
Wallace then had a late effort saved but the game ended all square.

Daft as it sounds, I reckon we've more chance of 3 points at southampton next week than at start of play today. Afterall this is Burnley we're talking about-nobody said it was gonna be an easy ride!!!!!
How cold was on't Turf today BTW!?
Pendle bear festival now, then home to watch the Bol-Ewooders doing their whipping boy act tonight on Match Of The Day. Cheers!

I said this morning that I didn't fancy this one and I was right!! Consistency is the key in this division. Stop talking about play-offs until we've won 3 or 4 on the trot please!! Nice to see the gooners annihilating the grintwums though!!!

Let me get this right. You have just scraped a 1-1 home draw with the mighty Peterborough United and all you can talk about is your bigger neighbours.
No doubt you'll be aware there is a slight difference in standard between playing Arsenal away and Peterborough at home. Remember that the Clarets once had a season in the top flight, only they couldn't hack it with the big boys and soon reverted back to their normal level.
Stick to worrying about your own level and not things that are above and beyond you.

I'm off to the cinema later to watch Snow white and the SEVEN dwarfs or maybe the Magnificent SEVEN.
Either way I'd better make my mind up because I'm meeting SEVEN friends at the SEVEN eleven store at SEVEN o'clock because the films start at SEVEN minutes past SEVEN and is being shown on screen number SEVEN.
Iv booked seat number SEVEN in row SEVEN with my SEVEN friends.
Afterwards we are going to a SEVENties disco until SEVEN in the morning.
We are all really KEAN and can't wait to get there.
I'm going to have SEVEN pints of 'Your team is so **** **** it's unbelievable and will be bankrupt in SEVEN months'
At SEVEN quid a throw It's not the cheapest drink but it does taste nice.
It's not too bad getting home either? The taxi only costs SEVEN quid.
Might even splash out on a chicken curry on the way home?

Chris P Bacon wrote:Dear jack01 about things above & beyond us. I think you may just have shot yourself in the foot because by my reckoning it looks pretty much like you are well out of your depth in the Premier League as well. True we had but 1 season but before you spout your dim witted mouth off think you should compare that season 2009/10 & how our relative clubs were at this point in that season we all know how it ended so no need to go there is there. Well at this time in 2009/10 Rovers had 28pts with a GD of -15 & all 3 relegated teams that season were by this time in the bottom 3. in fact both Hull & Burnley had a better points tally than you have now are you getting the drift here compared to our single season in the Prem you are WORSE OFF than we were. In fact you ARE 10pts worse off than you were & also have a worse goal difference. That level you were talking about clearly isnt the one you are playing at is it. Why dont you just admit you are playing on borrowed time with the BIG BOYS!!!! Oh & by the way as has been pointed out WE never got 7 stuffed past us that season AT ALLL!!!! UTC Eddie Howes Claret & Blue Army!!!

To go on Burnley's pages and allying hypocrisy to stupidity by claiming Burnley fans are obsessed with the Grintwums means his very presence totally undermines his pathetic appearance here. Still, it's human nature of a stupid man who, when humiliated himself, lashes out at what he thinks is the nearest target to deflect the pain he feels. Well we all feel pain as well; thing is, our pain is from our ribs which ache from laughing at Joke-o and his band of buffoons.

A big wave to all my Burnley SUPERFANS!
That nice Mr Howe was showing me round the club massage facilities on Friday.
I mentioned a bit of tension in my back so quick as a flash, he had me on one of the tables.
He's got very soft hands.
He offered to give me something called a 'happy ending'.
Can any of my Claret Chicomaniacs shed any light on what he meant?

You lot are truly infatuated by Blackburn rovers. You can barely discuss your own club without mentioning our club. Complete obsession. Anyway as the one we cannot mention has had his solicitor instigate the ban on comments, I am using your bit to say that the sooner this circus that Venkys are overseeing is concluded at the end of the season, the sooner we will know what's left to work with. Cheers lads.
