Shackell rues the win that got away

CAPTAIN Jason Shackell admitted the gloss was taken off his first goal for Burnley after it proved insufficient for the Clarets to earn a first derby win in over 30 years.

Shackell’s quick reactions to convert after his initial header hit a post gave Burnley a deserved lead just after the half-hour, and it looked to prove enough to secure the long-awaited bragging rights – even after Ben Mee’s second half dismissal for fouls on David Dunn and Grant Hanley.

But Blackburn Rovers stalwart Dunn rescued a point in the fifth of six minutes of stoppage time.

Shackell described breaking his Burnley duck in front of almost 4,000 Clarets fans as “an unbelievable feeling”.

But in the end his emotions were mixed, with the skipper insisting it would have meant more if it had counted for three points.

“We deserved the win I thought,” he said.

“It was a good performance and we’re really frustrated and disappointed not to get the three points.

“We did really well and we feel a bit aggrieved with their equaliser at the end.”

Of his goal, Shackell added: “I’ve had a few chances but I couldn’t have picked a better game to score my first goal for Burnley. It was fantastic. You can see how much it meant to the fans – they were right behind us from the get-go and to score in front of them was an unbelievable feeling.

“It’s just frustrating it wasn’t a match-winning goal.”

Burnley were in control at Ewood Park for long periods, but the 65th minute dismissal of Ben Mee, for two bookable offences, ultimately changed the outcome of the game, despite Burnley battling on bravely with 10 men.

“I didn’t feel like we were in any trouble. We had a couple of scraps in the box but we always felt in control, we were compact, as a team we worked our socks off and did everything right, organisation was fantastic. I couldn’t see them scoring,” said Shackell. “We don’t think we had much to do in the whole game really. That just adds to the frustration.

“You can’t ask any more – when you’re down to 10 men away from home in the big local derby, we gave everything and we just fell short.”

Well done shacks and the boys, outplayed em again and out sung em. The tide has turned only a matter of time before we get that win. Shame the chicken pluckers had to rely on refereeing decisions to go their way to earn a lucky draw.

Relegation and bankruptcy next for the spoilt brats from bolliewood hahaha

You clown would get on well with Steve Kean. You live in a world of fantasy. Outplayed em again and out sung em doesnt win games. You have to score more goals than the opposition. If we had the favour of the referee, Rhodes would have had a penalty for being kicked in the head, you'd have been down to nine men for the constant fouls on Dunn and there would have been 10 minutes injury time for all your time wasting antics. Somehow your ha ha ha doesnt sound like laughter!

Now now merlin cant believe you deluded pluckers still slate our agent kean......glad you hounded him out of your toxic club and replaced him with slap heads mark ii and iii.....seem to recall you were in the top 6 and you still weren't happy! Appletons comments classless and suit your sham of a club. Outplayed you home and away but 2 draws we had to settle for didn't say beat you, you retard. Blatant penalty??? You been eating too much venky chicken. What about ref showing some consistency and red carding your special needs centre half Handley for his assault on Tripps? Fat boy Dunn offside for your goal.

If you're lucky enough to stay up this season I'd take 2 draws off you next season if it meant you fail to get promoted - then all us clarets can sit back and watch the financial melt down of big fat jacks plastic club

Luck was nearly on your side. You nearly lost the Rovers doormat tag but alas just reverted to type in the end. Stockholme syndrome. Its hard when you have been a doormat for so long to suddenly want to hold the dog lead.
Just lay there whilst I wipe my feet on you, Surrender Monkeys. Its your place in life don't fight it.

Look at the league table in the cold light of day.

Remember that you couldn't beat us when we are playing crap.

Remember your performance against Hull.

Then look at your fixture list.

Rovers doormat???you've beat us 3 more times in our long history look back before 94/95 you plastic. Hardly emphatic but easy to have that smug superiority opinion when you've been brought up on fatties millions. Well wakey wakey he's gone and been replaced by that tacky statue that we pimped up for you and the rupees are in town. We see the big picture £28m debt and rising at £2m a month.... We can wait ...you're doomed and you and your sorry bunch of spoilt brats have buried your heads in the sand blaming it all on kean!

We always take it to you...on and off the pitch. You know your place and you only gob when you're safely behind police protection.

Really fatboy Dunn , really should have won not one but a dozen Oscars for fantastic dramatics.
I'm not saying he wasn't fouled once or twice but really he conned the ref very well but that wasn't hard seen as he had his white and blue specs on.
Dunny is a big girls blouse really falling to the ground as if he had been hit by big daddy(RIP). When really it was more a feather touch , oops down he went, Ref sees him hit the floor like the pile of sh*te he is and blows for a foul. Ref well conned.
Yes we aren't playing well but at least we weren't falling over all over the place claiming a foul every time.
We only have ourselves to blame for allowing you to to get in the game. Well Mee really , he had no reason to make that challenge but he is young.
I'm not saying we didn't waste time but you tell me what team doesn't! 6 extra minutes most of that down to Dunns dramatics.
What you guys down the road have failed to mention and you mention one hell of a lot of things , is the one honest fact that in both games you have been out played by an average team.
Yes we still haven't manage to beat you but at least it has ignited the flame for more derby games to come and that's what I would like to see along with some good harmless banter. UTC
