Burnley v Spurs - Carling Cup semi final 2nd leg

ctrl-alt-delete · 21-01-2009 8:22pm #1

Burnely 4-1 down from the first leg, so a big ask tonight,

however they have just gone 1-0 up on 33 mins with a delightful free kick from Robbie Blake,

his 2nd such free kick in as many games, he scored a beauty against Preston last saturday, have been looking for a link of it ever since, anyone else see it?

Alnwick invited the shot with his positioning. Conditions are less than ideal, making it the perfect game for Burnley to try out-muscle Spurs.

Yeah he did invite it alright and his positioning was poor, but it still required some skill.

the conditions are not the best, modric full of muck

Poor goalkeeping in fairness, but nice hit all the same.

C'mon Burnley :pac:

2-0 sets up a good final 17 mins!!

Necronomicon · 21-01-2009 9:19pm

2-0, interesting last 20 minutes!

Edit: Snap, too late.

Blake having a great game.

Would love to see Burnley go through. If they hadn't capitulated in the first leg they would be capable of holding out.

eirebhoy · 21-01-2009 9:25pm

Chris McCann the goalscorer. C'mon the Irish!

Harpy · 21-01-2009 9:25pm

c'mon burnley..I just switched it on before the last goal

They are better off going out having gallantly pushed Spurs the whole way to the end than getting humped by Utd in the final tbh.

Harpy · 21-01-2009 9:32pm

hahaha yea go on burnley

ctrl-alt-delete · 21-01-2009 9:33pm

For once a ref didnt give a free for a keeper not getting to the ball,

he has had a poor poor game!

3-0 , 4-4 on agg

I'd enjoy seeing them get humped by Utd in the final.

Chong · 21-01-2009 9:34pm

COME ON BURNLEY!

GLaDOS · 21-01-2009 9:36pm

Burnley ahead on away goals (which come into effect after extra time)

tony1kenobi · 21-01-2009 9:37pm

Oh dear.....are Spuds not playing the C team like everyone else does?

joe316 · 21-01-2009 9:37pm

Burnley in the UEFA cup???

Melion · 21-01-2009 9:39pm

They'll have a guaranteed UEFA cup spot if they can get through the next half hour

No they don't, if United win the final the CC spot goes to 6th in the PL/

I thought they got rid of the rule that 2nd place gets uefa if the winner is in the Champions league?

Edit: Reckless got there first

Melion · 21-01-2009 9:41pm

Oh, thats right. Its the FA cup im thinking of, apologies

Raskolnikov · 21-01-2009 9:41pm

The curse of Gareth Bale strikes again!

cruiserweight · 21-01-2009 9:41pm

Have the rules changed? It used to be that only the Carling Cup winners got the UEFA Cup place, runners up didn't get the place if the winners qualified for the Champions League

Edit: Already been dealt with

How have Spurs managed this one

21-01-2009 9:42pm

Spurs are hopeless tonight, I fear for them in the league this season.

I think Bales "record" was only in PL games.
I believe Spurs have won in other competitions with him in the team......

What a great match for Burnley. Lets hope they push on and win the tie.

I'm sure they'd prefer to be in Europe next season to be fair.

Damn.
So nearly vintage Roflham Lolspurs.

double harsh...i hope will kill them in the final now...b*stards

Bobalicious93 · 21-01-2009 10:15pm

SantryRed · 21-01-2009 10:16pm

They didn't deserve that a bit. Had no heart whatsoever.

United will take them to pieces in the final no matter what side they put out and I personally can't wait.
