Shut up, you stupid little boy. Not like the fact that someone else has similar views to me, ones which you find so wrong.

The nerves are really starting to jangle now, and i aint even got a ticket for it! Burnley have around 200 tickets left in the jimmy mac lower according to clurrots mad so it is near enough to being a sell out. C'mon Rovers anything but a defeat please

Oh well Rad, at least someone argrees with me. If the guy said the rivalry is based 90% on non relgious grounds then why are basically no catholics supporting Rangers? Songs such as 'ftp' and Red Hand Salute wouldnt exactly endire yourself to supporting rangers if a catholic?

Thats nothing compared to City fans. Their amount of season ticket holder actually when UP when they got relegated. Ie, they had more in the 1st div then in the prem. Some supporters those city fans!!

He will score on sunday. Simple as, i can see it in my crystal ball!

It doesnt matter whether you have 100 senior pro's or only 1 senior pro. Its Burnley so we wanna beat you and if we loose i will be gutted, not cos your team is crap or you only have 14 players but that you are BURNLEY FC!

Lawro predicts a 1-1 in the cup game. He says that for those who dont know the north west, it will be world war 3 lol. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/e...rem/4265085.stm

We hadnt lost to villa by the time you had played them.

Agreed, southern based journalism at its worst im afraid. Jackburn jokers? No that'll be Basterd Rovers Tiny Moor? No that'll be Turd Moor/morgue Bolton dominance? Who the hell cares about notlob when it come to burnley rovers? North Lancashire? Nope again, that'll be East Lancashire 100's fighting in town centre? Wrong again im afraid, that'll be about 100 dingles trashing their own town.

You woulda thought someone who had played for a club for 18months would know who their main rivals are. Especially when he had 6 months injured to think about it, whilst brfc stood by him

Nice 1 mate you've got it spot on. Ive heard a few people say that bazza is quite stupid and this brings it home imo. Having played for the club for 18 months, been a footballer/fan for about 20 yrs and also still having been at the club for a few days after the draw was made (im sure he would have caught the enthusiam for it) for him to STILL not know that Burnley Blackburn is the big derby in Lancashire is pathetic. Bolton game might be a cup final for them, but if we lose we will forget about it in a week or 2. We lose to the dingles and we will hear about it for yrs!! Wake up bazza and get yourself to the turf on sunday and witness a derby which is actually being played for a decent prize, rather than the scottish league cup or whatever.

Den, seeing as you've locked the other dingle thread, hows about that 1 for the message board Gold?

I think we are all being slightly over confident here. It will be a very close and difficult game, in what will be a intense atmosphere. I not bothered so long as we dont lose, thats the important thing to me. If we draw, its back to Ewood and the chances of the dingles coming to ewood and doing us over is very slight indeed so we'd be huge favourites. However a defeat is totally unacceptable as they would be able to hold over our heads until the next time we play them I predict a 0-0 or a 1-1 and for us to comfotably go through in the replay. Please dont loose!!! PLEASE

MGP was rubbish. As was the rest of the team for that matter. He better play better against Norwich though or he might as well go sit on the bench again. Ha ha, isnt hindsight a wonderful thing!!

Saw a brilliant quote on the Rovers mb, on bbc website 606 service. On amo he said, 'He's got a mix of Darren Peacock and Tiny Taylor. Its a scary thought.' Absolute classic and the funny thing is, he aint far from the truth either!

Well well well, i post in the morning asking when the preview is gonna be put up, i return in the evening after being out all day and ive seen its all kicked off Then again, im supprised it took so long really

Emerton has been our only attacking/dangerous source of most of this season, so i feel its a bit harsh on the guy when he has either been travelling or playing for Australia during the week and only got home on fri morn i think. Not really BRFC4E -did say give him dues for being 'tired' though 'only attacking/dangerous source of most of this season - must have missed that game put it this way - certainly wouldn't want him as my 'driver' if I was a bank robber. He has been our main threat though hasnt he? I mean who else has actually looked like unlocking defences this yr apart from him and now Pederson?

Tad harsh considering the journey they had to do during the week to play for their respective countires. Emerton has been our only attacking/dangerous source of most of this season, so i feel its a bit harsh on the guy when he has either been travelling or playing for Australia during the week and only got home on fri morn i think. A full rest this week should hopefully see him back to his best vs the dark side come sunday aftanoon.

Are we gonna get a preview going then, its only a week till the game. C'mon Rovers

Are Rovers fans gonna be locked in after the game again. If so, how long for?

To be fair to him, he has already admitted to trying to shoot from corners, and judging by today's evidence it won't be too long in coming!

yes io thought that. then i remembered my team has Kahn and Lehman in goal Tell you what though, to be fair, Green made an incredible double save from i think first reid and then gally about 10mins or so from time. Superb from him although he had already balls'ed it up earlier lol

I think we will win this game by the odd goal. Remember, for all our attacking short comings, Norwich havent won a game away from home this whole season. Whats more, their defensive record on the road is absolutly appalling so if we play 4-4-2 im hopeful we can score a couple. 2-1 to the Rovers but i dont wanna say who the goals are from I expect a pretty good crowd actually, norwich will bring quite a few, its catergory b prices, its a 3pm sat kick off and the dingle game might have encouraged a few more to buy tickets. 25k ish?

ha ha sam, for once 1 agree with you. There is nothing better than the build up to a burnley rovers game. Pne, wigan or notlob games in comparison dont even register on the 'bothered about the result' scale

Wasn't really a critism of anyone in particuler, just a retorical question i suppose And boy do i know about cost abbey, couldnt afford a season ticket at the begining of the season (due to me being a student) as i go to games as i can. I've paid for that as aint got a dingle ticket. Anway i reckon we coulda sold 8k for this 1
