2:30pm
Full time, Rovers 1 Clarets 1.
2:28pm
Predictably, the equaliser comes from Dunn in the 95th minute. Ball found its way to the far post and he lashed it past Grant. Ewood erupted.
2:27pm
Rovers 1 Burnley 1
2:26pm
Todd Kane's low 25 yard shot is saved
2:25pm
Rovers man of the match goes to David Dunn. He's tried his heart out, few others will emerge with credit if it stays like this.
2:23pm
We have had delays for injuries and the red card, but Burnley are furious about that.
2:22pm
90 mins are up, 6 minutes added on
2:19pm
Rovers sub on 87: Gomes for Martin Olsson
2:18pm
Rovers really pushing now, Gomes about to come on too.

2:17pm
Burnley sub on 85: Vokes for Paterson
2:12pm
Burnley sub on 81: Ings for Austin
2:06pm
Lafferty coming on for Wallace forBurnley, Lafferty will now play left back.
— @ChrisFlanaganLT 17 March 2013
1:58pm
Mee had surged forward but overstretched to make a challenge and it had to be a yellow card. Chris McCann now filling in at left back for Clarets.
1:57pm
McCann clears just as Rhodes was lurking to turn in Olsson's cross. This game could change now, 25 mins left
1:57pm
Ben Mee is sent off for a second yellow card.
1:55pm
1:46pm Sun 17 Mar 13

HOPE ALL ROVERS FANS WHO WANTED ALLERDYCE SACKED ARE HAPPY NOW.
1:49pm
Ben Mee booked for foul on Dunn
1:46pm
David Jones put free kick wide. Rovers having more of play at start of second half.
1:45pm
All Burnley first half. Only real Blackburn threat came from the chicken which someone put onto pitch Feel we need a second goal tho #UTC
— @campbellclaret 17 March 2013
1:45pm
Rhodes turns Shackell and fires a shot over bar. First time he's been able to get into the game.

Its all Burnley - they have the passion - defence all at sea when Burnley scored - long ball attitude from Appleton as we have said just doesnt work.
OUT WITH THE LOT OF THEM
1:38pm
Cameron Stewart has joined Rhodes up front, his shot deflected over at the start of this second half.
1:37pm
Second half is under way.
1:37pm
Teams back out for the start of the second half, Leon Best is off, Josh Morris on.
1:22pm
Half time: Rovers 0 Clarets 1
1:17pm
Four minutes of largely chicken-related stoppage time. Rovers have been really poor so far, Clarets far more threatening.
1:14pm
Austin booked for Clarets, joins Rovers' Hanley in the book
1:11pm
1:09pm Sun 17 Mar 13

Gally on Radio Lancs....."Burnley showing passion, guts ......Rovers showing nothing" How much further can we fall?
Gally, "The long ball just isn't working.... no change there then ....just nip down to the dug out Gally and let Appleton know that!
1:10pm
Wallace free kick clips the outside of the post. So close to 2-0.
— @ChrisFlanaganLT 17 March 2013
1:09pm
Rovers have been really poor in last 15 minutes, home fans getting frustrated, away supporters understandably in good spirits right now.
1:05pm
32 mins gone, Wallace put in free kick from right, Shackell's header hit foot of post but he followed up to score.
— @ChrisFlanaganLT 17 March 2013
1:04pm
It's Rovers 0 Burnley 1, Jason Shackell
12:53pm
30 yards shot from Wallace saved by Kean, Burnley starting to get on top a bit.
— @ChrisFlanaganLT 17 March 2013
12:51pm
Short corner routine then sees Austin blast over unmarked from edge of box. Two chances there for Burnley.
— @ChrisFlanaganLT 17 March 2013
12:51pm
Superb save from Kean to deny Paterson as he looked set to score
— @ChrisFlanaganLT 17 March 2013
12:47pm
Rovers appealed for a penalty as Rhodes was caught going for a header. Nothing given.
12:46pm
12:45pm Sun 17 Mar 13
tugay 4 ever says
Radio Lancs telling us there is a chicken, injured on the pitch..... That's 22 on the injury list then!
12:45pm
David Dunn did his best to catch that chicken, but it was an elusive one. Yakubu had a better technique last season.
12:44pm
A minute delay as stewards attempted, unsuccessfully for a while, to catch a chicken on the pitch. Looks like it came from Riverside Stand. Farcical scenes, but it gave the entire ground a laugh.
12:43pm
Chicken on the pitch.
12:41pm
Kacaniklic's cross deflected into Austin's path, his overhead kick clears the bar.
— @ChrisFlanaganLT 17 March 2013
12:40pm
Encouraging start to this Rovers v Clarets derby, both sides look like they want to attack, although no clear cut chances yet.
— @ChrisFlanaganLT 17 March 2013
12:38pm
Wallace brings down the darting Martin Olsson, but no booking despite appeals from the Rovers fans.
12:36pm
Neither side sitting back, both looking tto get the early advantage.
12:34pm
As you'd expect, Dunn looks up for this game. Kacaniklic thought he was through for the Clarets but foul given against him.
12:33pm
First effort of the game, Wallace's free kick and Shackell turns the ball well wide.
12:32pm
Both sides look like they've gone 4-4-2. Dunn on right, Stewart on left for Rovers. Wallace on right, Kacaniklic on left for Clarets.
12:31pm
And we're under way.
12:31pm
Teams switching halves, Rovers to kick towards Blackburn End in the first half.
12:30pm
First time for a long time, there has been an atmosphere around Ewood. Hope players can respond
— @CryerRovers 17 March 2013
12:29pm
A real roar from both sets of fans as the teams warm up in front of their own supporters. Kick-off only a minute or two away.

I'm not as confident of a Rovers victory as I have been in the past, neither team have been anywhere near their best in recent weeks so it could go either way. It'll be interesting to see what team Appleton will select although I hope he changes the formation. Personally, I'd opt for a 4231 formation as it's easier to control the midfield but can revert to a 433 when we're attacking. My starting XI would be... gk Kean, rb Kane, cb Dann, cb Hanley, lb Mn Olsson, cm Lowe, cm Jones, rm Pedersen, am Dunn, lm Stewart, st Rhodes

Injury damages court case
In June 2005, Appleton announced that he was going to sue the surgeon that he believed had ended his career early. The surgeon's name was not announced, and the case was set to start in early 2007. In June West Bromwich Albion Football Club began a £1 million compensation claim against brain specialist Medhet Mohammed El-Safty, the surgeon who operated on Appleton, who West Brom described as "negligent". It was said if West Bromwich Albion had won the case, it could result in many similar cases, the appeal court was told. Appleton's case against Mr El-Safty was heard by a high court judge in Manchester, with evidence provided by Appleton's former manager Sir Alex Ferguson and former team mates Ryan Giggs and Gary Neville, Manchester United's former captain. Appleton won his case but had to wait to hear how much money he would receive for his damages.
"I am relieved finally to have received judgment and to be able to put this chapter of my life behind me"
Michael Appleton
On 23 March 2007, Appleton was awarded £1.5 million in damages for his injury - thought to be one of the biggest pay-outs to an English footballer - as Mr El-Safty had admitted he wrongly operated on him. It was said that he could have earned £500,000 a year in the Premier League and the High Court also commented that his career could have lasted until 2009.

Keep looking upwards and you'll see Burnley up that Championship table.
Jordan Rhodes will be the highest paid player ever to grace League 1. And you'll be in administration before too long. I can't wait!

Somebody needs to remind the Rovers inbreds that they didn't win today. Through extra time they managed to snatch a draw, but from the comments you'd think they had just won the league. Stone age minds and mind sets won't let them see the reality of the peril they are in, When the end of the season arrives Burnley fans will be doing the gloating as their peasant neighbours fall through the trap door.
