To the tune of "Old MacDonald":
With a...
Two goals here, two goals there,
Give away two goals everywhere
Clarets gave the lead away,
In the FA Cup!
Nigel:
Terrible crowd, apart from the Burnley following. Referee average. Jolly good haddock and chips. Cox back to his best. Blake really needs Little to return. Good result going by our previous record.
Pitch in surprisingly good condition. Need a decent draw in the next round. I spotted Ian Wood running for a train -a definite first!
Interesting crowd segregation on the train back, due to Leeds playing at Scunthorpe. Plus a very noisy conductor on the outward journey!
Lee:
We fully deserved our lead at half time. A great start with two early goals. We started to struggle after Weller had to go off. I've no idea why the referee awarded a penalty. Considering that we had half the team missing, it was a good result.
Jules:
Yet another two-goal lead disappears. What does Stan say to them at half time? My overall feeling is that, after a good start, it's another disappointing result.
John S:
Tricki Woo was the Pekingese owned by Mrs Pumphrey.
For the first twenty minutes, we were OK - shame about the rest of the game!
Dermot:
We made a good start, and scored two goals. Then, due mainly to a lack of fit players, we conceded a goal early in the second half, and then struggled to keep the score at 2-1. Eventually, with only minutes remaining, Grimsby equalised.
Brent:
Today summed up our season so far. We are either very good (e.g. the first half of the game), or very bad (the second half). When Weller went off, we fell to pieces in midfield. And yes, Grant-spotters, Tony Bloody Grant was crap again. But as we are Burnley, we will continue to muddle along, as we have done for the past 25 years. The inability to hold a lead against such dross shows up our weaknesses. Money please, Mr Kilby.
Woody:
For fifty-five minutes we were in complete control of the game, cruising into the fourth round. Then the referee (Mr Laws) made a mystifying penalty decision, which even astonished the Grimsby fans around me. From that moment, we ran out of steam, and allowed a poor equaliser. I look forward to defeating the Mariners in the replay, and taking our rightful place in round four.
Poll of the day
Rumour had it that Mr Michael E Benyon was away down south somewhere watching Insignificant Non-League Side One v Insignificant Non-League Side Two in the Who Cares League. However, if you look carefully at the group picture, you can clearly see a checked shirt (with button about to pop) covering a rather impressive stomach. Could there be two Mr Benyons?
