Well Venkys club to be exact. Your young boys won fair (apart from 5 bookings and a sending off to one booking) and square and The Clarets fans out supported you as always.
    Only needed that amount to out sing you from the 1st to the 90th minute. Maybe for the next game we should only bring just over 100 to give you a fighting chance. Why bother turning up and not actually cheering your own team on. Tonight it was like having 8000 manikins in Burnley shirts. In terms of vocal support rovers played two home games. Bring on your first team sure those kids would do a job
    Vocal support? from my seat in the Bob Lord stand I experienced an annoying distant droning, which I mistook for tinnitus until Blackburn scored, at which time the noise intensified slightly and I realised it was actually the modest contingent of Blackburn fans who were responsible for the irritating murmur.
    I don't generally make direct comments but I have got to make an exception in your case following your post. in my opinion you're a grade one deluded pr*t!"

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.
