Two own goals and red card win Rovers defender a standing ovation from opposing fans

The summer is well and truly over for Shane Duffy.

After a European Championships that saw the big Derry defender nail down a place in the Republic of Ireland team, he would have hoped to go on and make a mark at Blackburn Rovers. Or even get a move to the Premier League. Or Celtic. His chances of getting a move away from Ewood Park have certainly increased, but that likelihood of him taking a step up are getting slimmer and slimmer after something of a nightmare run for the centre-half on Wednesday night. Last Saturday, Rovers were beaten 3-0 away to Wigan Athletic, with Duffy turning the ball into his own net in the 63rd minute. https://twitter.com/patmccarry/status/764508690917519361 Unfortunately for Duffy - and Rovers fans - the Irishman took his goal-scoring form to Wales for Wednesday night's trip to Cardiff. The 24-year-old has scored two goals in the wrong end in the space of SEVEN first half minutes. The first going in after a rebound off the post from a shot by Declan John, while the second saw Duffy head a Peter Whittingham free-kick past Jason Steele. All this after rejecting a new contract offer ahead of kick-off in the Welsh capital. https://twitter.com/Imowencoyle/status/765990293200048128 But that wasn't the end of it for the Republic of Ireland international, as he got sent off in added time for a second bookable offence for kicking the ball away. https://twitter.com/Rovers/status/766012480317485056 It may not shock you to hear fans are not best impressed by Duffy's performance. Except from fans of other clubs, who are loving it. https://twitter.com/ChristianeCOYW/status/765995368400158720 https://twitter.com/joeblackburnpfc/status/765995205434699780 https://twitter.com/joegibney15/status/765996228832296960 https://twitter.com/D4NI3LRyan/status/765996155109015552 https://twitter.com/Mathers2Tim/status/765996123144261632 https://twitter.com/barryomahony4/status/765996097886121985 https://twitter.com/DanielTroyOtis/status/765996042093522944 Poor guy. He even got a standing ovation from the home fans. https://twitter.com/scottbowers/status/766012748383813632 Read more from SportsJOE:
