I've no one to congratulate as all my Burnley supporting neighbours bar one are down South. :lol:

Seriously though after being a bit anti Burnley FC for years I was actually a claret today (just for one day and maybe cos' I really fancied them to do it and had a good few quid on them).

It is going to go mad here later tonight (going a bit barmy now with those who didn't go) and tommorrow when they have the victory parade it will be really mad.

Any way after having had the Morecambe experience myself of going to Wembley twice successfully I say good luck to them. Owen Coyle the new Bill Bill Shankly?? Who knows he's certainly made a good start!!

The Blades never turned up.

absolute cracking goal but still not the best one at the New Wembley

If Burnley had taken their chances it would have been 4 or 5.

and that little cheat Jamie Ward was sent off about 17 minutes after coming on for 2 deliberate handballs.

Your right about it not been the best goal at the new wembley - that was scored yesterday by Gary Alexander for millwall

by **George Dawes** » Mon May 25, 2009 7:04 pm

i thought that thunderbolt of a goal Germany got against England in that friendly was arguably the best

but still love watching the DC one

Alexander's goal was a cracker but unfortunately for him people will always remember him missing a sitter that might have won the game.

What struck me was the vast amount of empty seats. With fans struggling to get tickets, i can only imagine that they were corporate seats.

It is disgraceful that they could not be used if that is the case.

Don't know about that, but this Morecambe fan was prepared to support Burnley by wearing blue for the day...

They are Robbie Blakes lucky underwear he has never really shown them when he's scored apparently because he's scared off getting another caution and getting a match ban. Most off the Burnley fans are aware off them and the club shop put on sale 50 as a collectors item and a few Burnley fans were wearing them.

From the programme:

It may not have been the way that venerable Burnley side of the early 1960s would have done things, but striker Robbie Blake's inclination to show off his red underpants has not prompted too many complaints around Turf Moor. Blake would admit that his Bad Beat Bob Y-fronts are more charity shop nylon than boutique blue lycra, like the pair bearing the 'Superman' log which Manchester City's Steven Ireland revealed after scoring one chilly Eastlands evening last season. But, they have certainly given his season a kick up the behind. Clarets defender Clarke Carlisle presented them to 33-year-old Blake before their side's Coca-Cola Championship trip to Conventry back in October, in recognition of his hapless poker performances on coach trips home - a 'Bad Beat' being a good hanf which should win doesn't...

Bad Beat Bob is Robbie Blakes nickname, a 'bad beat' being a losing poker hand which should really have been a winning hand, he's not too good at poker apparantly.

There were quite a few of those 50 replica pants being displayed out of various coach windows on the way down to Wembley.

I can't beleive I've been twice in 2 years and come away smiling each time!

Same abc, what block were you in?

I still really want to know which fellow Morecambe fan was in my block :lol:

Right behind the goal, directly below the big screen block 133

bias aside...Burnley were by far the better team

Great for Burnley, BUT this will probably mean more Radio Blackburn coverage for them and therefore less for us
