FA Youth Cup 3rd Round

Just realised that I am going to be in Burnley on the day of the U-18s cup match (11 Dec) so I have arranged to stay over and watch the game. According to the Burnley website it's a 7pm kick-off and entry is £2 (£4 for whipper-snappers). Might find myself as a crowd of 1 but definitely looking forward to it!

Don't forget to do a match report as it'd be interesting to read a non club view of the game.

You'll enjoy it - and (given the chance) play quite a sophisticated style of football, so there's very hope of a decent game

Me too

Just picked up my ticket. They are expecting to sell 'about 300'. They seem to be taking this game pretty seriously, even going to cover it on their main twitter feed. And they are very confident they are going to win.

Complacency setting in? Come on you young oxen

Despite the early set back, it would seem we are dominating possession and playing some great stuff. The better team by all accounts on the radio commentary.

 

[mickbrownsconscience]

Yessssss. 1-1. Crooks has made a difference and gets the goal.

And their fella gets sent for punching crooks what a t**t

Credit to the radio coverage which is decent but the main commentator does talk in a staccato and dramatic way.

He does, doesn't he? Very odd. Penalties.

 

[bazzer9461]

That’s it well done the youth

 

[derek]

Brilliant - won a penalty shootout! Well done

 

[Topper Haines]

What a great result. They're flying right now.

 

[gingerox]

YESSS!! Win on pens, Evans saving 2 to make up for his mistake, sounded like we were definitely the better team

 

[LowerSouth]

Fantastic win.
Better of the two all night.
So much positivity coming from the U17 U24 teams ?

 

[derek]

Future looks bright

 

[BigAlan]

Talk about stressful, well done lads.

 

[Foley]

Great win. Well done Oxford.

There seem to be so many good young players from the Youth team to U23's to Baptiste/ Whyte in the first team.

 

[Marked Ox]

Well done Lads. Deserved win based on the commentary.
