One hour programme showing our play off game starting on Sky Sports Football in five minutes.

What a day that was. We did the treble over them that season.

One of my favourite days watching the Clarets.

I just shed a little tear of joy watching that goal go in again

Likewise. I think the most surprising thing was we only won 1-0. Easily the better side and it should have been by more goals.

Fantastic day out,apart from a couple of hours waiting to get off the car park after the game,did Kyle Walker play for Sheffield Utd that day ?

Kyle Naughton as well.

My dad went down on a coach with lads from the golf club and other Burnley fans. I remember him saying something like, "I could have got off the coach, gone to a bar, got ****** off my face and got back on before it had left the car park".

How Gudjonsson didn't score was more luck than judgement, although they had a case or 2 for a pen, but it was the day good old Mike Dean started his Burnley love affair.

Ps there's a 10 year anniversary night in James Hargreaves stand in May. Players from that season telling stories erg.
Should be a great night, and with them no longer playing presume they'll let their hair down a bit more, and might go further in depth to any funny tales they tell.

Afternoon Macca. When tosspot got sent off, I actually thought the ref had awarded a penalty to them. It went from thinking they'd been awarded a penalty to take it to 1-1, to knowing they were down to 10 men.

By the time we got off the car park I was dying for a slash,had to wait till we hitBirmingham before we stopped,never have I been in as much agony dying for a pisss!

Ouch! I don't know where abouts you were, but before the game we all went into a shop and got 8 cans and supped them outside on the grass - merrily watching their fans go past on the buses.

What a day, eh. People happily knock Owen Coyle, but fair play to getting us to Wembley. Best day as a Burnley fan for me.

The home game stands out in my memory as the best performance from our centre backs of that season. Best I ever saw from Clarke Carlisle.

You're right. They were very predictable that season though. They lumped it long and Clark Carlisle headed it back out. They did that time and time again. We couldn't have picked a better opponent to play at Wembley.

We had a very creative side back then. Sometimes a bit inconsistent but a joy to watch when at it.

Sheffield United defended for their lives at Wembley.

I often wonder how the club's future would have panned out had we not won that game.

Fact - they got 2 red cards that day did sheffield

Jesus. People are allowed to leave their place of employment. Especially when wage rises are on offer.

it's nothing to do with the fact he left. It's how he left and the timing of it.

Go on then.

What did he do to keep you angry 9 years later?

Feel free I was thinking about re-arranging the patio anyway and getting you to dig it up saves me a job .

Nowt to do with him leaving .... just the way it was done.

Did they? Who else got sent off?

Try quoting the correct poster would be a good start. I'm not angry in the least - I just understand why Bosscat doesn't like him.

I dig, you dig, we dig, she dig, he dig, they dig. Its not a beautiful poem, but its very deep.

Methinks he is mixing up 2 play-off finals
Sheff Utd and Stockport very easy to mix-up

2 players got sent off that day. Its a good trivia question too

Lee Hendrie was sent off too as well as Ward.

Bloody hell I forgot that was it after the fi al whistle????

Correct. Not many people kno of it

Oh sorry. Your post suggested you held the same view.

Does it count as it was after the final whistle? Did Hendries punishment roll over to the next season?

Bosscat wrote:Bloody hell I forgot that was it after the fi al whistle????

In the tunnel after. He got sent off for having the most punchable face in English football. Jack Grealish now has the award.

Blackwell was in the sky studio for the Reading 2nd leg and his shoulders slumped, he went down at mouth and it was fairly obvious he was thinking we can’t beat these.

I was on a coach with alot of kids aged 10 and under. As we were driving away from Wembley a group of fat bald middle aged shef united fans attacked the coach, 1 of them opened the back door of coach and got a boot to his face. When police came and calmed things down the excuse the fat baldy used was that the kids were singing and laughing through the windows at them.

Some nice bits on here of the play offs, queuing for Wembley tickets, the match the victory parade around town and interviews with players on the Town Hall balcony. Made by members of Burnley Film Makers.

A sign of the times Im afraid. Kids no longer have any respect for adults and think they can act the goat without any comeback. Hopefully the incident gave them young Burnley fans a good wake up call

Depends on their upbringing. Rubbish parents often results in children with a rubbish attitude.
