Mancy reds versus Mighty Clarets

[Sidney1st]

Disappointed to throw away a two goal lead, but every point helps.

[piston broke]

Most of us would have taken that. Well played boys.

[Buxtonclaret]

50 years ago, watched us lose a 2-0 lead and draw of OT.
Done it again.
I'm gutted.

[tim_noone]

Seven??? Yellows for us.

[spadesclaret]

A point is more than I expected, then with Atkinson so blatantly against us I am happy. Well done lads.

[Vegas Claret]

if we were 2-0 down at Half time and had come back to draw we would be buzzing - exactly the same amount of points earned. Absolutely delighted with that today, awesome performance

[Croydon Claret]

All those bookings didn't help. Half our team had to tread carefully

[Chester Perry]

7 yellows will mean a fine - great performance - another away point - league goals at Old Trafford - we move on - let's win away next time out

But we weren’t 2-0 down so it feels like a lose

Things never get any better, do they!

[RighteousClaret]

Disappointed but how far have we come? Absolutely magnificent. Wonderful time to be a Claret.

[HiroshimaClaret]

As a 44-year old, that was 5 minutes away from possibly the best result ever as a Burnley fan. Still, a 2-2 draw away to Manchester United under So much pressure is a MAGNIFICENT result. What a team. To single out players seems remiss but thought Mee & Bardsley were impecable - 10s for both of them.

Good night everyone!

We should refuse to pay it, Atkinson was a ******* joke

[iluva64]

Another point towards that magic 40.

It may be disappointing not to get all 3 but to think thats where our mentality is, the bigger picture is f**king Amazing

[Chester Perry]

remember - we only had 1 of our 1st choice back 5 and if you count Wood and Brady - that is 6 1st choice players out today and we play like that - awesome

[whiffa]

Slightly disapointed with the freekick conceded by Sam for their second goal but it just goes to show how far we've come when a few of us feel disapoined to ONLY draw at Old Trafford. What a fantastic season we're having and another point on the board.

One of the commentators said

If you exclude the "Big 6", Burnley are top of the table!

COYC!

[jedi_master]

It's hard not to be disappointed when you concede so late after defending a lead for so long, but in the context of the game (Man Utd away, loads of injuries, every player seemingly on a booking, Atkinson massively being up Uniteds bumhole - etc) I am very happy to get a point from what is always a daunting fixture.

It shows how far we have come that we are partly disappointed with only a point from Old Trafford these days, it also makes me laugh to seeing all the Chinese, Japanese, Americans and various other tourists that attended Old Trafford today celebrating like it was still the Sir Alex days by ragging a late draw at home to Burnley. How the mighty have fallen, and how the minnows have grown.

[BennyD]

Mourinho still hasn't got a point against us at OT and now, iirc, we are the only ones. Well. F*cking. Done.

[IanMcL]

Brilliant from the Mighty Clarets.

Madge thinks Naughty Madge should get a run out, even though we were thwarted at the end. Great stuffBurnley.
Proud to be a Claret...again.

COYC!

I’m not even sure it was a free kick. Would want to see it again (but knowing MOTD, they won’t show it, just them taking the kick)

[BennyD]

For point, read win. Sorry, too much boxing day cheer!

[Garforth Claret]

We were 33-1 for 2 goals in first half and I had the faith and am much better off for it . In reality it was always going to be a tough second half. Some perspective on this says what a great away point.

[Rick_Muller]

View from behind enemy lines, Claret fans were superb today, well done lads and lasses in the away end

Were you hanging from the roof by your feet?



Fixed it for you

Rather that than the ref playing for the opposition which we've had quite a few times. He was a bit card happy though! Tad disappointed to not win having got so close but at least we can't blame it on crap officials. Terrific performance, great point, especially when you consider 6 of our 'first choicers' are out injured. UTC

The Goals thread needs updating!

Has Turtle been banned again ?

[BennyD]

KBRFC; where are you? You c*nt.

[warksclaret]

A point away to the 2nd best team in the PL. They had two mega strikers starting, we were down to the bare bones with suspensions/yellow cards on players minds-and Tarks missing !. Think 3 points would have been one of the results of the year. A draw and two goals still hugely impressive. I was not comfortable about today but sounds like everyone was magnificent. Well done SD and the coaches too. Proud to be a claret and another point on the board

Worth it just to see that Defour free kick again. Gosh they were lucky for their second... (also given that it shouldn't have been a freekick)
