Burnley boss Brian Laws has dismissed reports of a bust-up with Robbie Blake.

There have been rumours of unrest in the Burnley camp, with Laws reported to have had disagreements with Clarke Carlisle and Blake - who is thought to have reacted badly to being substituted at half-time against Manchester City - but the manager denied there had been any bust-ups.

"I can't influence what's going on on the outside," Laws said.

"If people are putting rumours around like that, there is nothing I can do about it, other than to say that there has been no bust-up whatsoever.

"Obviously we have had a problem with McDonald, but there was nothing to do with Robbie at all.

"Robbie and I get on really well, there is no question about that, so end of story."
