FULL-TIME: Burnley 1, Blackburn Rovers 2 (1-3 on agg)
9:18pm Wednesday 28th March 2012 in News
THE FA Youth Cup semi-final second leg between Burnley and Blackburn Rovers at Turf Moor resulted in a win for the visitors, and a place in the final.
After a goalless first half, Hugo Fernandez broke the deadlock in the 55th minute, giving Rovers a 2-0 lead on aggregate.
Osayamen Osawe's initial shot was blocked by Alex Coleman, but the ball ran free for winger Fernandez, who fired a low shot across goalkeeper Joshua Cook into the bottom right corner.
Ryan Edwards doubled their lead on the night three minutes later, straight from a long range free kick that, making it almost an impossible task for the hard-working home side.
But Burnley refused to give up, and were awarded a penalty in the 85th minute, after Adam Henley handled Luke Conlan's left-wing cross.
Blackburn goalkeeper Matthew Urwin was booked for knocking the ball off the spot as Steven Hewitt waited to take it. But the midfielder refused to be put off and finished well for a hard-earned consolation.
Rovers will meet the winners of Manchester United v Chelsea in a two-legged final.

Was at the Spurs Bolton game last night and Nelsen was outstanding. In fact looked just the sort of centre half we could have done with against the very same Bolton last Saturday. Has anybody heard of a reason why he was allowed to leave when we desparately need an solid experienced centre-half?
Also little comment/criticism on Kean not being given the money to fund 2 months wages for Zenden when the own@rs have just pocketed £10/£12 million for Samba (not that I rate Zenden but that's not the point).
Once again about time the LET asked some meaningful questions.
Well done Youth team, fantastic result.

Facts boys facts.
We gave you the penalty just so you could remind us you'd turned up cos we didn't hear a peep from you all night.
Where was your famous vocal support?
That poisonious little No.2 should have gone for his frustrated lunge at end&did anybody notice he had a striking resemblance to the Padiham wife beater? Same glazed look in his eyes&plate feet running style. The b4st4rd son of Payton possiblly from the famed Bonley way of "keeping it in the family".
And finally a message to the kn0b with the 80's back perm and the Trelleborg shirt, as we sat on the coach desperate to escape that dump. That little blip in our proud history was nearly 20years ago and we've won the Premier League and the League Cup since then. Maybe he's a fitting tribute to the success starved years Burnley have had, always looking back and not towards the future. Your away ends certainly a throw back to the 70's. How did that ever pass the "fit for purpose" test for the Prem League? Or did you get a special dispensation cos they knew you'd only be there 1 season?

What is good for us is that over the next couple of years our players will start to fill out and develop the physical side to complement their technical skills - the opposite is much harder to achieve. As I said, for about 10 times the investment - is one goal over 90 minutes that much of a difference?

Long throws, long ball tactics, niggly tackles and feigning injury are unfortunately part and parcel of the modern game, and Blackburn played these much better than Burnley.
.
For Burnley a Centre Of Excellence squad (With only 15 players) to even reach the semi-finals by beating Academy sides and then not to be over-awed by a derby game, they can be rightly proud of themselves.

Do you not have enough basic intelligence to see that? Your stadiums a throw back to the 70,s and your attitudes match it.
Please let me explain to this other clown who keeps mentioning our massive youth investment why this is. Its BECAUSE WE CAN. Its because a bloke with PROPER money INVESTED and this is the result.
The reason Burnley can,t is they,ve always been run by NEARLY MEN, who always WANT to invest, but don,t just carry it through because in relation to Jack Walker,they either don,t HAVE A POT TO P155 IN, or don,t have the COMMITMENT.
Get over yourselves Burnley, you,ll always play 2nd fiddle to Rovers in East Lancashire.
You carry on talking about your fighting and leave the football and WINNING to the boys from Ewood Park

i live over pendle way and sat with my neighbours in the james hargreaves stand - no bother to anyone, not jumping up when rovers scored etc. i texted my brother when rovers went 2 up to tell him the score and some idiot behind me had read my text (god knows how, must have brilliant eyesight) and then stated having a go at me - pathetic in the extreme.
.
and as for those who thought we were physical - why did your fellow supporters give that little aussie a standing ovation in the last couple of minutes for trying to end a rovers player's career with that mind-numbing tackle (i thought he had played very well apart from that vicious tackle and was deservedly MoM)

...And before you start dreaming about the 2009 pub incident at Cherry Tree, there was 80+ Rovers inside that pub my inbred friend...Rovers lads knew you were coming, due to a phone call, however you c*nts decided to start chanting when you arrived to alert the OB. If you c*nts had thought better and not said owt then maybe something interesting could of happened. Only about 30 rovers ran out of the pub and the rest got trapped in. There were another 50 in the pub trying to get out. You would of got smashed.
As for the Youth game at Ewood Park, B*rnley Sucking Squad are a bunch of f*cking muppets the lot of them..so much for "turning out in force" - even though it was a Youth game - the Dingle's turn out was pathetic... Outplayed, outsang and outfought yet again..34 years.
Remember when about 20 Rovers ambused a train with Burnley lads on along with other women and children (who were not targeted) back in '88.
Also some Dingles seem to forget 150 Blackburn Youth travelled to B*rnley - out of the way - on a night out. The Sucking Squad knew about it - 'Cats Whiskers' - Youth were soon wrapped up by O.B
All these mouthy Dingles who are probabley all shirters just READ THE TRUTH AND STOP DREAMING.
Andy Porters got 5 more years, now he's getting bummed by queers, five more years without parole, now he's got a sore a**hole.
You can make up all your DESPERATE stories about "Easter 1983 and all that" but the fact is, B*rnley have rarely played Rovers since AND NOT MANY TIMES SINCE '66 and that is the main reason you dislike us - you've never really had the chance the set the record straight FOR ALL THE TW*TTINGS YOU'VE HAD FROM BLACKBURN.
The Blackburn Burnley rivalry is different. Some people from Blackburn who couldn't give a toss about football, who hate football... also don't like Burnley. They would never set foot in the place. Its a rivalry between the towns as well as the supporters of the teams.
However, that said, I feel that the over policing is too much. Memories of the 70's and B*rnley hype from the 80's still lingers on.
But as you lot like looking back....Boxing Day 1977, B*rnely v Rovers, Turd Moor: Gates shut at 1.30pm. The gatemen and police on the outside did not look to keen because there were a lot of angry Rovers fans left outside to deal with. On Rovers half of Longside: 6 - 7,000 Rovers fans. Cricket Field stand - 5,500 Rovers fans. Open End errupted when Rovers scored 4,000+ Rovers fans? Bob Lord Stand 250 Rovers fans? Estimates of Rovers Away following that day vary from 11k - 15k. Rovers fans where sprinkled all over Turd Moor. Given the Cricket Field stand was all ticket, that left 1.5 hours of Rovers fans on Boxing Day arriving and heading for the Burnley home section's - I think it was more than a few pockets that went up when Rovers scored, we were all over you like a f*cking rash. The police then made a barrier between the open end and the home side of the Longside. Rovers were in the top two at the time. The game itself was played out in an electric atmosphere created by the Away support with Rovers building up a 0-3 lead in the first half which could have been 0-4 but for a brilliant save by Stevenson. B*rnley then forced their way back with goals by Noble and Ingham (?) leaving Rovers clinging on for a win - in 7 minutes of injury time. Outside the ground all hell broke loose with disturbances, running fights, police dogs. Rovers scattered out in packs all over the B*rnley centre and on the main roads out of town back to Accrington and Blackburn.There were some serious disturbances caused by inadequate policing of an admittedly massive Rovers Away following.
For the return fixture, B*rnley did not bring that many to Ewood Park - 5k perhaps. There were disturbances in Blackburn town centre but more seriously after the game as a big Burnley contingent travelling by train were confronted by a Blackburn End/Riverside mob on the way back to Mill Hill. Loads of arrests, out of control yapping police dogs, B*rnley got a kicking.
In the late 1960's to mid 1970's Ewood Park had a bad reupation for violence. B*rnley got hammered home and away. The Rovers lads could take most grounds and most crews. Millwall got battered in '77 at Ewood Park and admit it in an F-Troop documentary that can be seen on You Tube.
For a B*rnley ''friendly'' in the early 70's, Rovers lads went in one's and two's into the middle of the B*rnley fans in the Darwen End before the start of the game, maybe 30 then joined together as soon as the whistle went, they didnt half give the B*rnley fans a shock and a bit of a pasting. One of the Rovers fans was arrested by a Police WOMAN (made the front page of the LET) and the police just escorted Rovers out and towards the Blackburn End.
300 Youth ran B*nley in B*rnley in '83.
Colin Hendry when he moved to Man City got torrid abuse at Turd Moor but score the winning goal and ran past the B*rnley fans with a fisted salute.
Rovers lad's ambushing a train full of B*rnley in '88, I was in the Blackburn End that day, it was common knowledge a train full of B*rnley coming back from Bolton was going to wacked.
Simon Garner got even worse treatment when at Turd Moor with WBA but scored the winning goal, he lifted his WBA shirt to kiss it revealing a Rovers shirt underneath.
Rovers Fly-Over in 1990 (enough said).
I've covered the 1970 and 1980's and brought history up to date.
B*rnley lack class. You stood to an ovation for a dirty tackle near the end. Really p*sses me off when fans applaud cheating and dirty play. Man Yoo fans do it all the time. It's a vile trend.
B*rnley have never had class. Some Rovers played played at Turd Moor in the 1960's to raise money for a B*rnley player who's career had been cut short but were booed. No class.
Rovers prevented B*rnley from winning the double in 1960 - that's were your bitterness originally stemmed from. And for your trouble, you got battered home and away for two decades, the clubs then moved in different directions and all you've got is the myth - and it is a myth - of Ewood Park, Easter 1983.
Look at the stat's, follow the links, by my calculations, in 144 years B*rnley have only averaged bigger crowds in 12.

And Walshy2866 – (assuming the “clown” you refer to is me) congratulations on missing the point I was making by such a huge margin that you actually nearly hit it from the other side. I was making a point that for all the Rover’s fans mocking this was a closely contested game and despite all the investment the return that was seen was a 1 goal winning margin over 90 minutes – I was saying you wouldn’t be able to tell there was such a gulf in investment. Oh and finally, let’s see how long that investment lasts if you get relegated – wasn’t there something about the training ground being mortgaged against Premiership TV revenue? Maybe you could afford the investment in the past, whether you can in the future is an entirely different matter.
On the Aryn Williams tackle, granted I didn’t have a great view but it seemed to me he went for the ball and did make contact, it was a hard tackle no doubt but it could only be said to be career threatening because, judging from his antics last night, that number 7’s career could be threatened by a slight breeze. However, the two footed flying tackle on Stevie Hewitt in the 2nd half down in the corner between the JH and JM stands was vicious, dangerous and by the letter of the law a red card – and special mention to Stevie for just getting up and getting on with it as opposed to going for an Oscar unlike some.

Rover since 1947 says...
I well remember going to the 1960 cup match at Turf Moor and standing on the Beehole end, with other Rovers and Burnley fans and watching Rovers pull back a three goal deficit in the last 17 minutes.
If ever there was an excuse for trouble that was it, but there wasn't a hint, either on the ground or on the train home where both sets of fans mixed freely with nothing more than friendly banter. Unfortunately its just a forlorn hope for a return to those happier football watching days

I well remember the night myself and was in the Beehole End as well. I seem to recollect it was a mistake by Elder that let them in for your first goal.
To the two posters named "Melanie" and
"philmoulden"
I would say the following; "The post from Rover since 1947 is a true example of a supporter and of passion for his team" To the so called 'Lady?' "To add to your further foul mouthed comment may I invite you to our Easter Service next week and can I extend this invitation to your parents and if they are happy attend we will be quite happy to arrange a marriage Ceremony for them" In case you do not have the wit to understand this I will clarify it for you "You have just been insulted and categorised without resorting bad language being used. There again you will not be able to understand it. Now go away silly person, your next fix (or trick) is probably ready and waiting for you (what's the price? Ted Maul might want to know)

Blah blah blah Rovers brought circa 15000 fans to Turf Moor and ran Burnley everywhere - except you didn't did you? You brought nothing like that amount and although there was trouble it was Burnley who had the upper hand - it seems like time and class A's have blurred your memory somewhat.

Credit to both sets of lads, Academy football in East Lancs is clearly of a high calbire.

walshy2866 says...
Both of them deserve each other.
I simply pointed out why our academy can cost 10 times yours and I didn't see you argue back as the facts speak for themselves. The difference in the two clubs in the last 20+ years was Jack Walkers money along with good prudent management and a vision for the future. If you're honest with yourself though, over 2 legs we were more than 2 goals better and the agg. score flatters you
We looked closer to a squad of 1st teamers and if we used some of the gamesmanship associated with seasoned pro's then that backs up my point as they'll need that rightly or wrongly in todays game. Your no. 2 certainly had all the attributes of a pro with that late lunge but to be honest I don't buy into the "career threatening" bit some have called it. Maybe he'd watched a video of the Dec 2000 game and told that Kevin Balls challenge on Dunny was what was expected in a derby! I thought he had a look of that legendary Blackburn hating Padiham P1sstank so maybe good old Andy P has took a bit of time away from wife beating and taught him what The Cotton Town derby means to the locals from both endsof the M65. Long may it continue to me and lets look forward to some more blood and thunder battles berween bitter rivals.
4:25pm Thu 29 Mar 12
ClaretSince94 says...
But whilst I admit the difference between the clubs over the past 20+ years was the investment I would argue we've been just as prudently managed.
We've already started to see what happens now that your club has thrown both investment and prudent management out of the window...
I'd prefer our young lads to be taught to play without the mentality that you have to resort to gamesmanship to win games, if you learn to win without it then you're set.

B*rnley have **** support my inbreeding mutant friend.
You lack class as fans and as a club.
Standing to applaud that disgraceful tackle last night. Really sickens me when fans do that.
Parading Kevin Ball along the touchline before Rovers sent you down at Turd Moor in 2010 - that was the club this time - why? Because of his disgusting two footed cowardly lunge on Dunn in 2000.
B*rnley should have had three sent off in that game and at least 2 (the stamp on Chimbonda's head and your joke GK's professional foul) at Ewood Park in 2009.
No class. The rivalry between Blackburn and B*rnley used to be lively but good natured with some cracking banter up until Rovers knocked you out the FA Cup thus preventing a B*rnley League and Cup Double in 1960.
In the 1959-60 season, when B*rnley won the League Championship, Rovers played B*rnley at Turd Moor in the 6th Round of the FA Cup. 0-0 at Half Time. B*rnley scored 3 goals in a 15 minute period early in the 2nd half. Rovers were awarded a penalty and Blackburn boy Douglas put the penalty away. Three min's later, Peter Dobbing scored a 25 yarder. With 4 min's remaining, MacGrath scored for Rovers sending their huge away following ballistic.
The replay at Ewood Park was played infront of another full house, Rovers totally outplayed B*rnley to win 2-0 and went all the way to Wembley.
That's when it turned nasty. That's when B*rnley fans poisoned the rivalry.
B*rnley are nowhere near Rovers on or off the pitch and what's more - you never have been. There are many enduring myths in football, one is that B*rnley have good support and the other is that Rovers have poor support - but that is all it is a myth - an inversion of the truth - but why let the facts get in the way of the B*rnley myth making machine.
What you lot don't like, is that the rivalry simply does not mean as much to Rovers as it does to B*rnley. Don't get me wrong, you are despised and hated, but you are the small club, with few supporters, fewer trophies and a smaller 1970's ground - you are the footballing equivalent of the ''little man'' syndrome.
To all the rest of you bitter B*rnley b@stards coming on a Rovers message forum and telling us to go away and that we have too much time on our hands... particularly when your own forums are usually deserted.... have you any idea how ridiculous you sound? Ohhhhh the irony.
B*rnley are graceless winner and bad losers.
B*rnley - the poor man's Millwall.

What is also not in doubt was it is the biggest away following by fans of either club in the local derby for at least 50 years and who knows before then as fans often mixed or went to watch both clubs because of travel issues back then.
.
A generation of Burnley fans have had to live with never seeing them beat Rovers and though that is hard to take it does not excuse some of the childish comments on here.
.
Well done the Claret fans who have rightly praised their team for even getting to the Semi Final and admitted they were beaten by the better team over the two games. Keep it to Banter!

But watching the "on my lord, the only Teams that play the game hail from the fantasy fairy premiership " !!!!! makes me projectile vomit !!!
Would love to see these fairies up aganst the likes of Waldron, Merrington, Blant, Bremner, Chopper Harris and the Norman Hunter's of this World, now that was a man's game, and now boy's play it, because it can't be too phyisical because someone might throw the toys out of the pram !!!

Tash Force - feature film (2012) Trailer.

Lg&feature=related
The official trailer for 'Tash Force', the feature film comedy that is going to be released Spring 2012 in all good retailers (UK).
More about Tash Force: A comedy about Tash McDermott, Head of Lancashire Constabulary's Football Intelligence Unit, as he tries to track down a football hooligan ring leader, and put a stop to "shenanigans" on the football terraces.
Tash is on the trail of the elusive 'Nightmare', a notorious football hooligan. Inspired by TV programmes like 'Police, Camera, Action', Tash is giving a journalist unrestricted access to cover his operation. But Tash is stuck in the glory days of the past, when football was a man's game, women knew their place, a ruck was pretty much guaranteed, and he was top of the football intelligence league for arrests and banning orders.
Tash senses that being the subject of a documentary will restore his status, put him right back where he deserves to be, and maybe even make him a star. So he takes his eye off the ball and starts playing up to the camera. But that, and the fact the he can't hold his beer, ends up landing him in serious trouble.

a) In the way you show your feminine attributes by your postings there is the high probability people won't be able to get a word in edgeways, so our Vicar has declined.
b) Secondly you must have, or still having computer courses to glean your facts from the internet and you will be tied up. This latter I hope is by a gag round your mouth which is needed judging from your implied foul language.
I would suggest that you now stop posting and go back to what appear to be your favourite past times and drag Slimy with you so you can both leave a trail along the ground. Also not forhgetting Tedmaul he can indulge his favourite occupation with you i.e. back door camping

Rovers lose 1-2, but still and historical document, gives an idea of Ewood Park befiore it was rebuilt.
12,000 average in the 70s and 9,000 average in the 80s made more noise than the 25,000 average of the modern Ewood Park.

Full Members Cup Final1987.
Some great images and memories - really good vid. Rovers finally took 30,000 to Wembley, Charlton took 10,000 from accross London.

No thank you I am particular about who I share body fluids with. As for being boring there are none moreso than your obviously plagiarised statistics so would suggest you take your own advice

Have you any idea how stupid that make's you sound?
So - if i made them up they would be correct but because i have taken them from sourced material they are incorrect?
WHAT ON EARTH ARE YOU JABBERING ON ABOUT!!!???

What's with the desperate pleas for my attention you needy freak?
It appears I have a stalker. Albeit a genetically challenged, semi
literate one. Just don't start going through my bins.
Can't wait for one of your trademark drawn out, badly spelt soul-crushingly dull comebacks.
On second thoughts, don't bother, you're not in my league & I've already wasted too much time on you.
Have a nice day you silly little dingle.

So most of your posts you try to give the impression as "Knowing everything" So above should put you right as to why I placed "Plagiarised" and the above should nullify your attempts at sarcastic wit.
)
)
Plagiarism is not a crime per se but is disapproved more on the grounds of moral offence. This latter refers to giving moral offence which is what you do with your inferred language.
Added to the above and for the benefit of TedMaul;
a) I am neither little nor a stalker, never have been never will.
b) Neither am I silly. On the contrary my greater intelligence than yours is shown by my having no need to resort to inferred swearing in the manner which you do.
b) My postings as a fan are on a BFC threads, whereas yourself and the other characer (who constantly uses various pseudonyms) are forever coming on BFC threads instead of sticking to your own little world.
So I repeat your words to you go away silly, little, boring, foul-mouthed people. Crawl back to the pit you belong in

You're showing yourself up. Like a ginned up old crone ranting about her recycling bin.
I'm actually embarrassed for you.
Seriously. I've noticed the more wound up you get, the worse your grammar gets. Take a deep breath before you post.
That way you might avoid posting paranoid rambling nonsense like the above.
And you never post on the Rovers threads do you eh? Me thinks the lady doth protest too much...

Are you saying that any researcher that uses stat's to qualify their analysis - is a plagiarist? Are you really saying that?
Are you saying that any researcher that reads other sources in order to verify the veracity or authenticate an hypotheses is plagiarising?
This is astonishing buffoonery even by your standards.
The further one engages with a Dingle, the further down the rabbit hole one goes.
This is B*rnley parallel universe syndrome. Alice in Wonderland topsy-turvey logic.
I have compared and contrasted Rovers average attendance figures for specific season's compared with B*rnley's. Simple. Nothing plagiarised about that.
By your own dictionary definition, you are now contradicting yourself, again.
Accept the facts. Accepts the stat's. Stop relying on B*rnley folklore.
You are a court jester; a popinjay. You think you are intelligent, you mine quotes and ideas and pass them off as your own thoughts.
You think you are being dry with your understated droll sense of humour but it lacks weight.
You think you are funny but as as already been pointed out, you are soul crushingly dull.

You, like many posting comments here, have appeared to have lost the thread somewhat.
The article is about Blackburn Youth beating Burnley Youth, some would say square and fair.
Stick to the point dear chap.
Toodle pip, me thinks!
