I've never really understood the need to congratulate football fans for going to a football match.

Is that because you never go ???

They sounded superb and well played every last one of them.

What an idiotic post

Brilliant effort and commitment by those who went. Will hopefully join them in the next round.

You should have stopped your post after the 1st 4 words!

You obviuosly didn't live through our exploits in the eighties.

Not sure how many were there but they made a real noise.

Brilliant effort, hats off to all who made it out there and made themselves very well heard.

Well done lads and lasses you did the boys proud.safe journey home everyone.

Did us proud. Well done and safe journey home everyone

Blimey, there's some touchy souls on here.

It was a fantastic effort given.. long distance, expense, short timescales, Thursday night.....
I Would have loved to have been there and experienced Istanbul and the game.
Well done to all those that travelled.

Were the Twix bars cheaper over there ?

Agree with all the positives about tonight, especially the great efforts of those who were there supporting our team. That is what it's all about, isn't it?

Apart from the kids. One woman was voiciferous in her displeasure that two young kids had managed to get tickets. She couldn't believe that they had enough points to get over there. Despite the fact it went to season ticket and general sale...

now now Timothy!

To all that made it, you were loud and made us proud! UTC!

Absolutely an amazing effort from you guys in the stand tonight. You all have a lot of balls attending a night match in Istanbul, and you came across clear and load on TV. well done to all.

Just quoting someone's silly comment on harts fine save...

Bugger if I had known you could take flags I would have gone

Oh and well done to all you Clarets.

Great effort...gutted I could't go and now looking forward to a European night at Turf Moor next Thursday. Whenever Turkish sides play in this country my impression is that are massively well-supported. However this support , I've always assumed, comes largely from the Turkish community in Britain and usually it's one of the big-name long-established clubs like Besiktas, Galatasaray etc. I'd like to think the away end will be packed with noisy Turks next week but I doubt the ex-pats will get behind this lot who appear to be a wealthier, more successful Turkish MK Dons.

Obviously not a true claret, eh!

We are one big family,as many on here say, with the odd black sheep!

Well done for identifying yourself...clown!!!

They wont bring any

It's called dedication, sounds like you didn't realise the word existed, these fans did this in less than a week to plan, travel, expense, location, work issues, get real, these people fully deserve a round of applause.

I said the same about the spud gun I got from Ben's toy shop when I was 10, it goes everywhere with me.

what an absolute chopper.

Sounded absolutely immense on TV, well done all. Hell of a lot of time and money to get out there.

I don't normally comment on these type of threads but given the short notice involved I think that was an excellent turn out by the Clarets. Well done to them all. I have just shown the above picture to a proper Man Utd fan and he was well impressed. Do we have an official figure of how many travelled.

Thursday... Rocky's in Istanbul
Friday... Turkey's financial markets in chaos and meltdown

Hmmm

I think I heard locally that it was 515.
