[Archived] A Break With Tradition

[DeadlyDirk]

Brilliant!

[Anti-Dingle-Brigade]

Another 1-2 now Spurs, come on.

[brfcshabba]

We could get Bentley on loan obviously Spurs don't need him.

6-1 has a nice ring to it

[CrazyIvan]

Another one or two should do it. Right now it's winnable still for Dingles at home. Away goals count?

[Anti-Dingle-Brigade]

Away goals count yeah. If Burnley win 3-0 they go through if it stays like this.

[1864roverite]

there is only 1 man to save the dingles now

Ade panicbuyeeeeeee

[CrazyIvan]

The next goal is a biggie. Spuds score it tonight or at Dingles and it's almost game over. Dingles score tonight and it makes the next leg really interesting.

[CrazyIvan]

Finished 4 - 1. Bentley off and O'Hara on was a big difference.

[Tyrone Shoelaces]

First goal in the next game is a biggie. Spurs score first and it's good night Vienna. Burnley score and who knows. Having said that at 4-1 up it's Spurs in the driving seat.

[RibbleValleyRover]

I'm going to have to hope United see off Spurs in the final by the looks of it. If Spurs win the cup we will never hear the end of it and the usual delusions of grandeur will be exhibited again.

[Mr Creosote]

Lovely. Have that you dirty, six fingered *****.

[SouthAussieRover]

Now do you doubting Thomas's believe that Owen Coyle is a good manager?

Too B****y good for Burnley that's for sure!!!!

Yeah long may he keep up the good work.

[philipl]

Actually, I felt sorry for them. Fell for the 'Arry half time sucker punch good 'n proper.

At the moment, the dingles are on a bit of a stinker if you chuck in the Christmas results.

[RevidgeBlue]

Never saw that coming at half time.

As phiilip says, that's three consecutive defeats now for the Dingles.

Perhaps the world's greatest manager's bubble has burst.

Drew at QPR in the FA Cup last week. but 3 out of 4 isnt great.

They have the touch of the 80's Rovers under Don Mackay about them. No money relatively. Some class act players mixed with some horny handed men of toil. And only about 14 men at arms to salute a loyal but ultimately small and poor band of followers. As the winter snows thaw, so their dreams of their Narnian heaven will turn to a cold intangible stream of shattered glacial glory.

Oh how our Rover hearts broke as year after year the Don took us to the brink of the snow topped summit, only to be denied at the last.

So it seems the Clarets will look at the Premiership that is Medusa. Whose city snakes coil in her hair to turn small town clubs to stone who dare look in her poisonous stare. Theirs is the doom of perpetual failure. I weep peals of laughter for them. And we, we band of brothers? Our Perseus rose from Jersey and beheaded the Medusa to stake our place in the Pantheon of the Gods. We cannot fail from Grace. Hades is a deep deep place, where only Dingles swim.

I was thinking something similar tonight, you'd have thought it won't be long before Coyle is tempted away. If indeed he is that good which I'm not yet completely convinced by.

As for us not dropping into "Hades" I'm not completely convinced on that score either!

Fair comments. We simply don't have the resources to turn the promise into genuine success. For a short while it looked like the helping hand we needed (Flood) had arrived, but it turns out he's skint. Oh well.

i could have sworn this guy was gonna be huge

And God saw how great evil was among them and decided to wipe out the idolators by sending to them a Flood, destroying them in punishment for their bestial wickedness.

First thing I was told when I walked into work this morning:

"You'd never take 4000 to London for a night match"

And here's me think it was about winning cups not about the size of the away support

[joey_big_nose]

I have to feel a little sorry for Burnley. They completely played Spurs off the park in the first half and some of their passing and movement was a joy. The little lay offs by the front two and the pace of the runners from midfield made them look more like a good La Liga side than a team in mid table in the Championship. Shocking thing to say but true. Coyle will go far.

Indeed the style is not too disimmilar to what Allardyce is trying to implement here in the last three matches, with Roberts and McCarthy getting close and laying off to each other and forward runners from deep. Far too often under Ince and towards the end of Hughes' tenure there would be massive amounts of space between the strikers and little movement in midfield.

QPR in the Championship season. However, your workmate was right. Burnley are the best supported club on Earth.

[No Nay Never]

Thats because a cup final for us is exactly that a cup final, for them it is a day out at a premier league ground.

[Gav]

They've given away thousands of free tickets for todays game, should be a sellout in home areas you'd expect, will be interesting to see if it is.
