FULL TIME: Burnley 1 Peterborough United 1

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.

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!!!

We need to get the winning habit at home if we are to make the play offs. Definitely 2 points dropped.

Looking bad for T`Rovers .

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.

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.

hard not to talk about you or indeed notice your lot jacko. Yes we had one season recently in top flight but nobody paddled our arse 7-1 not even arsenal managed that. Sort yourselves out and find another site to post on you muppet

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?

No-mark Jocko fails to see how pushing a wheelbarrow of hypocrisy in front of him makes him the laughing stock of the forum.

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.

Quality post from Manuel, Was on the turf yesterday in what was the coldest i have ever been at a match, Even colder than the new years day game at portsmouth some years back, So respect to the fans that stayed to the end to see a magnificent solo effort from super jay.

I think in times of this bitter weather we should spare a thought for the unemployable blackburn scroats, Many of these decrepit freaks in their blue and white scruffy shirts can't even afford shoes never mind a roof over their heads. so i would ask clarets fans to spare a thought for our friends from the dark side in these times of 'deep depression' when the football club is about to go down through to divisions to non league.

Remember all venky soup kitchens are open 24/7 to take care of all scroats wearing scruffy blue and white shirts.

Venky scroat pack chicken is yummy...

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!!!

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?

Disapointing result yesterday, our home form continues to frustrate. But there are no "gimmes" in the Championship, and we're still firmly in the mix.
Missed the match yesterday, as I was at the Emirates (sorry fellow Clarets, it was a work thing !).
Anyway, even at our worst in our season in the Premier League, we were never as ill-disciplined, uncoordinated, unfit, and passionless as our dear friends up the road were Yesterday. It is one thing to be outclassed, but quite another to be so utterly submissive. Blackburn have serious problems, we, on the other hand, can look forward with a degree of realistic anticipation.

No, I can't shed any light on it, but what I am certain of is that Eddie Howe is a much better football manager than Steve Kean, and his sexual orientation (which is what you are clumsily and snidely refering to) is no concern of your's or mine.

Hi Ralph Coates' Combover, it's always nice to meet one of faithful Burnley SUPERFANS!

That nice Mr Howe does come out with some odd stuff...the other day he asked me to give him a Cleveland steamer...I was a bit confused as boats aren't really my forte.

Can you shed any light on this?

Take care, and I really do mean, take care!

A happy ending - he would have switched on the TV so you could watch the Arsenal v Rovers match.

Hi Midas. It's always nice to get the chance to interact with one of my Burnley SUPERFANS!

I think I remember you from my last appearance at Turf Moor, what a day that was! Turf Moor was AGLOW with the power of CHICOMANIA! (although it could also have been static from all those tracksuited Clarets boogying in the aisles to my global SMASH 'It's Chico Time').

Where you that chubby kid who kept trying to pull his mums kecks down?

Thanks for clearing up what that nice Mr Howe was on about, he does talk in riddles sometimes!

The other day he said he wanted to go 'around the world' with me.

I'm not sure what he meant, do you think I'll need my passport?

Take care, and I really do mean, take care!
