CCC, Play Off's 2009

[The Jack]

Well that should have settled JTC's nerves a little! Burnley perhaps not starting the best, but with almost their first chance in the 13th minute Elliott scores! Great goal as is the Burnley way of recent times! Almost woke up the hugs and kisses! Fortunately not!
COME ON YOU CLARETS!

[Pidge]

Totally against the run of play too. Great strike

[The Jack]

Great buildup too, with the run from Elliott being rewarded with a goal for himself. Burnley certainly look the most likely to score now, I think the goal has settled them into their rhythm. McCann's knee injury was unfortunate, replaced by Gudjonsson in the 28th minute or so. They do play some very easy to watch football the Clarets, really would like them to get up, so we can see them next season against the Premiership clubs. They don't look like the type to put up the brick wall in front of goal, like some.

1-0 at the half. A possible penalty claim was as close as Sheff U got, but overall Burnley certainly good for their lead.

Here is the goal.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yqrfs6sGstg

[The Jack]

Maybe Blackwell's baiting of the ref in the buildup has come back to haunt him, as Kevin Phillips thought it was a penalty. He is a striker though! I'm not sure the contact was even in the box, and maybe Alexander got the benefit of the doubt for not being aware of the player coming through. Do accidents count? It would appear not.

Good work Pidge, amazing how quickly these things are uploaded! The world we live in is an amazing place, as I'm sure JTC is thinking right now!

[Pidge]

Gudjohnssen should have scored

Clarets fans belting out the old 'No nay never..'

Brilliant.

[The Jack]

Too right! Sheff U dodged a bullet there. Pretty unlucky though, the defender didn't know much about the block, hit him on the back leg before dribbling out just past the upright. Meanwhile, what happened to the first 5 minutes or so of the 2nd half? Lucky nothing important happened!

[The Jack]

Another huge chance to make it 2-0, to Blake this time, but a desperate defensive effort from Walker from SU saves the day...

[devilsadvocate]

Wow, that could very nearly have been a blades pen.

Agree Jack, great chance for Blake, but brilliant defending.

Come on Burnley. The Clarets have another goal in them. Eagles now on for Blake.

[The Jack]

OMG, Ward sent off for 2 deliberate handballs in the space of 11 minutes on the pitch! Clarets a lock now! Hopefully!

[devilsadvocate]

Blackwell will be fuming now with Dean sending off ward for 2 deliberate handballs.

[The Jack]

He should be fuming at his player! Both were definitely there, gave Mike no choice!

[Pidge]

Some no-name sent off for the Blades... Trying to handle the ball all the time.. Commentary im listening to, thinks he shouldnt have been sent off... what a joke..

Yeah they come up soo quickly... dont know how they do it... CMON BURNLEY!!!

[The Jack]

Free kick in the 92nd minute, no good for the Blades, possibly their last chance to force extra time.

[The Jack]

Bravo Clarets, they've done it! Can't wait for JTC's next post! Owen Coyle seems very impressive with what he says. Worth staying up for!

[devilsadvocate]

YESSSSS!

GET IN!!!

Bloody fantastic result.

Can't wait to hear from JTC....if the party ever ends.
