Was there another chicken incident at the game against Burnley?.

Apparently there was some horrendous racism at the Burnley game

Good to see old Colin taking the moral high ground when it comes to prejudice again.

Oh...wait...

Just seen Blackburn are only four points above the relegation zone. After the utterly unpleasant experience of Ewood Park earlier this season (97th minute equaliser notwithstanding), I would be thrilled to see them relegated. Even more thrilled to see Colin Kazim-Richards as a third division player again.

 

[nail-Z]

Yes. Play was stopped because a chicken was released onto the pitch. The referee showed the chicken a straight red card for serious fowl play.

That's a POULTRY excuse.

Also now being reported on ssn.

Still awaiting official confirmation from the club.

 

[Stumpy Tim]

Eggsactly.

Clucking hell. Don't encourage him

That's a POULTRY excuse.

Having googled this incident, it- with some irony- does appear to be making a run down the WING.

Thank you for that nugget of information.

 

[Greg Bobkin]

That's a POULTRY excuse.

He was so shocked, he had to go and have a LAY down afterwards.

 

[joeinbrighton]

Given their current spells of form, you could feasibly see Blackburn and Wolves experiencing back-to-back relegations. Ironic in a way that Blackburn's best spell of the season was when Steve Kean was their manager. They were still in the play-off places when they gave him the push.

Michael Appleton

They have had more managers than away wins this season

 

[Paskman]

Please stop these yolks before it all gets out of hand.

 

[Paris]

Looks like the Venkys have CHOOKED it in

 

[TWOCHOICEStom]

They really are idiots. Appleton is a joke - but the Venky's really are something else. I honestly hope they get relegated so they learn their lesson

 

[mejonaNO12 aka riskit]

Jordan Rhodes made an EGGcellent choice.
