TimmyJimmy Posted January 22, 2009 Posted January 22, 2009 I'm with Fife Rover's viewpoint, well played Burnley, credit where it's due, bad break to lose like that. Coyle is showing himself to be a damn good manager. That said you are still the anti Christ's team so that's the end of the goodwill from me. Hope we get to play each other real soon so we can show you what a proper premiership team looks like.

Exiledfan Posted January 22, 2009 Posted January 22, 2009 Last night's result continued Gareth Bale's streak of never winning a game whilst playing for Spurs. I think this stat is great. Are you sure about that? According to this link he's played in a few victories, albeit not in the league. http://www.soccerbase.com/players_details.sd?playerid=43700
thenodrog Posted January 22, 2009 Posted January 22, 2009 Wembley feels like the other side of the moon if you live in Tottenham! A lot more than 10 minutes. Not that they deserve to be there. I'm sure all Spuds fans don't live in Tottenham jbn. Or are you under the assumption that they all meet at the ground first before heading off for Wembley?

He is curently equal on either 12 or 13 I think with somebody else who I cannot rem at the moment.

He is curently equal on either 12 or 13 I think with somebody else who I cannot rem at the moment. You are thinking of Giles Barnes. And the issue is actually that he hasn't won in THE LEAGUE. Bale has won in the cups.
meerkat Posted January 22, 2009 Posted January 22, 2009 Unfortunately I was not able to watch the match because I was away out to my grandsons birthday celebrations up in Perthshire. However, I have got the gist of the match from reading the previous posts on this thread, and it is obvious to all except the most thick and blinkered that Burnley played very well in the two matches overall. Added to which if you look at the difference in the relative wealth and resources available to each of the two clubs concerned, then Burnley's performance becomes almost miraculous. But all that is just a general impression available to any football fan anywhere; it does not take into account the actual performance on the pitch of the players and the manager and coaches that got the players to produce it in spite of having a very small squad available to do it with. So as a lifelong Rovers fan I salute you Burnley FC. Very well done! And to all the idiots who have besmirched the reputation of BRFC fans by writing the garbage that they have produced in many of the earlier posts I say: it is time you lot learned the difference between normal friendly rivalry and downright stupidity. Some of the comments make me cringe in their sheer blind hatred and senseless vulgarity. These people need to know the difference between the normal banter that goes on between our two proud clubs and the vile but utterly uncalled for and brainless filth that is often trotted out on this MB. To the culprits I just have one thing to say and that is either get a genuine sense of reality about football club derby relationships or else at least stop writing your stupid and vile filth on this MB. Grow up!!!!!! Spot on. I remember them beating us 3-2 at Ewood in 1979 and being there, but they are still a Lancashire club! I would love for them to meet us in the premier league next year, as opposed to the championship. The more Lancs club in the premier league the better!!!!!!
Al Posted January 22, 2009 Posted January 22, 2009 Spot on. I remember them beating us 3-2 at Ewood in 1979 and being there, but they are still a Lancashire club! I would love for them to meet us in the premier league next year, as opposed to the championship. The more Lancs club in the premier league the better!!!!!! Yes but I would rather it be Preston.
SouthAussieRover Posted January 23, 2009 Posted January 23, 2009 A marvellous result. 'Tis a shame Spurs were the beneficiaries but it's a small burden to bear. A northern club should thrash them in the final.
Manc Rover Posted January 23, 2009 Posted January 23, 2009 Can anyone help me out? I'm looking at a map of London trying to find Burnley. Apparently it's 2mins from Wembley!

disgruntled Posted February 3, 2009 Posted February 3, 2009 Sky talking about Burnley's crowd being poor at 6600. Apparently former dingle Steve Cotterill isn't surprised!
philipl Posted February 3, 2009 Posted February 3, 2009 Let's not talk about crowds until tomorrow night but that is spectacularly low. 3-1 to the Dingles now- unlikely to let 2 in 2 in now.
thenodrog Posted February 4, 2009 Posted February 4, 2009 The more Lancs club in the premier league the better!!!!!! 6,635 Alternatively that just proves what I have been saying that if football were invented today there would only be one!
rover6 Posted February 4, 2009 Posted February 4, 2009 Burnley do it again. All credit to Coyle and his team. They keep tumbling supposedly better teams and they like to do it in style. I wish them all the best against Arsenal.
RevidgeBlue Posted February 5, 2009 Posted February 5, 2009 Unlikely I know with them going to Arsenal, but a Rovers/Burnley semi at Wembley anyone?
thenodrog Posted February 5, 2009 Posted February 5, 2009 Champions League and Premier League have devalued the FA Cup greatly. 25-30 years ago my mate was in Milan on business and took the chance to watch Inter v Sampdoria in an Italian Cup match in the San Siro. A great fixture? Only 15000 in to see it. He was told that in Italy the cup was considered unimportant. At the time neither of us could quite grasp that concept. The crowds at Turf and Ewood this week illustrate that the FA cup nowadays is nothing more than an almost irrelevent side issue too. Unlikely I know with them going to Arsenal, but a Rovers/Burnley semi at Wembley anyone? The FA will be horrified at that thought. Hardly worth putting the electric on for. btw Sounds like you have written Coventry off already Simon?
SIMON GARNERS 194 Posted February 5, 2009 Posted February 5, 2009 Yes but I would rather it be Preston. I would prefer NEITHER of them to be promoted because as far as personal experiences go fans of both clubs have massive chips on their shoulders when it comes to Rovers....jealous does not come near a discription of it.
