Burnley (3rd rd FA Cup) Post Match thread

[Tbilisi]

I was in there around 2pm and only went in for a badge for my hat!. Yeah the metrolink queues looked a nightmare, Alan Turing Way was too and not helped by some fucking idiots getting arrested wielding metal bars near the lights across from the campus.

Blazing Squad?

Blazing Squad?

I don't think so. It was a small group of people having an altercation and a couple of blokes had metal bars, anyway this looked like it could've got serious until a police van, that was in the line of traffic, put on the blue lights and nipped it in the bud, and arrested the bar wielding loons.

It was one of the few things he got right, for me another useless twat, who gave our players no protection at all.

Disagree. Thought the ref was solid and unflappable. Can't remember any bottling incidents. He appears to be the best of the bunch at the moment if the first half of the season was anything to go by.

My youngest said she wants a scarf, hat and shirt next time we go.

Great stuff mate

Btw I am reading Jonny Marr’s autobiography and he recalls his first City game. Jonny knew when he got within a mile of Maine Road that City was the team for him. A week earler his Uncle had taken him to Old Trafford and he couldn’t stand the place.

I remember the days when we were unfashionable.
We tried to play in an attacking style, but our passing usually let us down.
Then we had the prosaic style under Pearce, loved the bloke but the football - urggh!
Then we got Thaksin's involvement, Sven,Carlos, Elano.
Thaksin's money was frozen so he got Sheikh Mansour interested etc etc.
What I am getting at is that little old Burnley are doing the best they can with who they have. They are following their dream.
If they can scrape top six, they will probably get a couple of better players and maybe some investment.
I wish Burnley well for the future and remember how we were once upon a time.

What people seem to forget about Burnley is that the first season they came up, they went straight down without really spending. This meant that they got parachute payments and were able to bounce back up because they can spend more than the likes of Leeds and Forrest, Then the are able to attract better players i.e. woods from Leeds for 15 million. What i am trying to say is that they aren't there just because Dyche is an up and coming English manager and team spirit. It doesn't bother me how much they spend and it wouldn't if they spent more than us. Now look at Watford who have been on a similar path, other than against us do they play defensive football like Burnley. Didnt somecoach say that it is easy to coach defensive football to attacking football.

Well there was a tackle on David from behind that was a yellow card every day (except against us), and yet Danilo was booked for a nothing challenge. Several fouls against us weren't given, as per normal, yet they got pretty much anything they asked for.

If he's the best, then its a worry for the rest.

thought he was awful and allowed most 50/50 decisions to Burnley. Now I am sure its through City glasses but there was one point in the second half when Bravo took a freekick 10 yards behind where the foul occurred and made him retake it. Was the ref Jones, the idiot who booked Aguero at Saints when Louvren had kicked his shin,

I remember shaking Jonny Marrs' hand at a game at Maine Road, he was with Mike Pickering who used to sit a row in front of me in the main stand.

The ref was fairly solid but I am glad Burnley weren’t as dirty as Spurs or Palace His leniency could have resulted in us picking up a few injuries

Great to be supported by a few legends of the music world. The rags will always have Mick Hucknall and Olly Murs lol
