Are you joking, Abster? Are you genuinely and constitutionally unable to recognise any merit in Burnley FC and their travails?

No he's serious.

I say congratulations to Burnley. I know how elated their fans are today, isn't that why we do it, for that rare moment of joy? Good luck to Burnley until we stuff them in the semis or the final.

Im praying we can win tonight and then get the Dingles in a two-tie Semi. It will be great!

We can beat them Home and Away and then hopefully also win the final.

Really !

On what evidence do you base this Hughesy last season, the season before that or over the past thirty years, what about looking at the state we are currently in. They are far more organised than we are you only had to watch last nights game to see.

The worst thing is that, if we were to play them in the semi final at say Old Trafford, they would sell around 30k tickets and with the current apathy surrounding Ewood park, we would be lucky to shift 15k.

Anyway, I don't think we'll be faced with that problem.

I think the semis are played on a two leg home and way basis but I get your drift.

They'd comfortably beat us too.

Grrrrr...

Played Dingles, my live is gonna be Hell in Harwood now if we don't get through, it's bad enough as it is with our current plumbum status in the Premier League.

God help us if they come up and we go down!

One things for sure the atmosphere generated last night on the tiny turf was non existant with just a few mumurings of 'we are Burnley' and 'no nay never' for a very very short period sung by just a few.

LOL

The Dingles have France in the Cup, they are going to get absolutely stuffed out of site by their youngsters.

"Just what the doctor ordered"

Honestly a flukey win and they think they are it

:D :D :D

watch Le Arse tear em apart :lol:

Would Sir like a cloth to wipe the egg from his face?

Have to give credit where its due they have given Arsenal and Chelsea a hard game and deservedly beat both sides.

They have beaten 3 premier league teams, the same amount we have in our league campaign so far :huh:

Fantastic stat that, thank, brightened my day.

No he's serious.

I say congratulations to Burnley. I know how elated their fans are today, isn't that why we do it, for that rare moment of joy? Good luck to Burnley until we stuff them in the semis or the final.

And that my friends is the truth. We may not be glamorous or even good but last night is exactly why you follow real football teams.

Thanks for the kind words guys, I know it aint easy for most of you so they are much appreciated. Not sure I fancy your chances against Man U tonight - then again I didn't really fancy ours against Chelsea or Arsenal. Football, especially cup football has an amazing capacity to surprise. How good would a Rovers/Burnley final be? Talk about bragging rights AND a route into Europe for the winner?

Congratulations to Burnley.

Any Lancashire town team that wipes the smile off the faces off smart-arse, smug, ignorant, limp-wristed metropolitan types and their cronies in the media is OK with me.

Hate to say it but because of a combination of good management at Turf Moor and incompetance in the Rovers boardroom the 25-year wheel of East Lancs footballing fortune is turning in our beloved neighbours' favour.

It is indeed a frighteningly real prospect. Anyway no chance of us meeting Burnley in the semis, I hope they get a soft draw, its the least they deserve after playing 3 top half Premier League clubs to get there. Fantastic performance last night from them and one, I'm ashamed to say, we could not emulate at this time. Congratulations to them.

:lol: Come on lads, I agree we should be gracious and congratulate them on their win, but no soft draws please! The sight of Burnley in a Wembley final the season we're getting relegated would be too much to stomach.

Especially the thought of our knuckle-dragging friends being able to boast about being first to the new wembley. :wacko:

EDIT: btw congrats to the dingles for last night,i honestly thought that Arsene`s kids would stuff them!

Last night I said to my daughter's boyfriend, a Rovers fan, that Burnley would beat Arsenal and United would beat us. They would then draw each other in the SF.

.....and the lottery numbers on Saturday are?

Every cloud has a silver lining.

Whilst the burnley fans revel in the only bit of glory to come their way since the goggle box was broadcasting in black and white, you'll be pleased to know that despite our current relegation fears, you can rest assured that the annual burnley free fall is nearly upon us.

Watch this space :D

You sound confident there my mate.

Are you trying to convince us, or yourself :lol:
