// A bit of a hack but it works// The article snippet is wrapped onto a second line, even when #article-sub is emptyif( $("div#article-sub").children().length == 0 ) {$("div#article-sub").remove();} Blackburn skipper Ryan Nelsen believes the side can take a lot of positives from their defeat by Manchester United.[LNB] Rovers slipped to a 2-0 defeat by United on Saturday evening following goals from Dimitar Berbatov and Wayne Rooney.[LNB]However, Nelsen was encouraged by Rovers' performance and felt they were unlucky not to be awarded a goal when substitute Nikola Kalinic's strike was ruled out for offside in the dying stages.[LNB]"There were a lot of positives to come out of the game," Nelsen told the club's official website.[LNB]"I can't believe the linesman hasn't given our goal, it is a ridiculous decision. Niko was clearly onside by a yard. That would have meant 2-1 and we've got something to play for for the last few minutes.[LNB]"So the guys are pretty disappointed but there were a lot of positives. We wanted to go out and really compete and we did that. A couple of things didn't go our way but besides that it was a very good game.[LNB]"We had to step it up and if we play like this for the rest of the season away from home the majority of the results will go our way."[LNB]
