Burnley v Lincoln City          FA Cup 5th Round               12:30         BT Sport 2 / BT Sport 2 HD / BT Sport 4K UHD

Just stuck a full £3.00 on Lincoln at 9/1 to cushion the blow if they do the unthinkable and reach the quarter-finals.

Lincoln City fans singing Grimsby Town are flipping shite😂

oh i wouldnt want Lincoln hearts breaking just yet.....let them lose in the next round just when they can almost taste Wembley ...much more disappointing that way.

There fans are trying to be like us 😂 Oh dear where was there support when they was mid table in non-league dreadful

I must admit I will be extremely jealous if they some how manage to get to the F A Cup 1/4 Final, dream world, but I will be rooting for them all the same. Especially Nathan & Brad

Radio commentator drooling about Nathan's skills. He says Cowley descibes him as the most intelligent wide player he's ever worked with.
Jus caught the last 15 minutes on telly and sadly Lincoln look organised, motivated and pretty effective (things we can only imagine at the moment)

Am sorry but what F*ck is going on with matt rheads hair 😂 Bobby Charlton wannabe

His hair is to distract you from his fat body! 8)
UTMM

Go to the biggest match in your clubs existence, sing about your rivals being shite despite them playing in the league above. Strange people.

To be honest I quite like Rhead even after what he did to us. Have watched Lincoln on tele a few times recently and think they are a well organised team- that's Cowley. Playing well at moment-I wonder what the result would be Town v Lincoln

Good luck to them, especially Nathan and Brad.Imps fans can dislike us if they like, take the high ground, I wish them well.

I think their fan base is excrement compared to ours. But it's their moment.. I'll let them have it.. not exactly rivals to us now  ;)

Joey Barton 😂

When did Southwell join Lincoln?

Deadline day - they sold Robinson to Southend and took Dayle from Wycombe

Have to say.....pretty low quality game really....Burnley disappointing

Let's be honest they are putting a show on and look like a team that know what they are doing.

Personally I'll be delighted for them if the win- especially if it's a move involving Wood, Arnold and Southwell.  

1.0 gimps

Bloody hell!

👏 congratulations to lincoln, well done chaps you have well and truely copulated your league up now 😂

You're a funny guy.

Could be the season of their lives

Well done Lincoln! You might be our rivals but you're doing both lower league football and Lincolnshire proud

They certainly deserved that win.

Quoted from OllieGTFC

👏 congratulations to lincoln, well done chaps you have well and truely copulated your league up now 😂

You'll find in this case you could be right, all the teams below them want their schedule to mess up.

£180,000 prize money just for that win. Very nice! They'll certainly have a good bankroll for League 2 if they make it.

It only take DAG & REG to win today mean they will be level on points as Lincoln, if forest green win they are a point behind, last thing Lincoln need is more games and playing catch up

They are in the quarters of the Trophy too. The £180,000 could get them a couple of loan signings to bolster their squad at least. They seem very fit to be fair though. Barton or the other lad - one at least - should have been marched for the push/face combo they pulled anyway.

Baring in mind they're rivals I just watched the whole game routing for them, they have done Lincolnshire proud and those players are a credit to that club, so much energy and belief, I can see them Getting promotion and further under that management. Good luck for the next round, I hope you get a monster tie. Hilarious chant about Grimsby earlier on.

Massive kudos to Lincoln City as much as it hurts to say so!
However, just 3,200 fans? That's pathetic for such a big game that's not even that far away either.

Really enjoyed that game, well done Lincoln,

One step from Wembley who would have believed it ?

A lot of games coming up for them might stop them winning the league though,

We all know too well how things can go wrong in the play offs.

BUT

Whatever league they are in next season they have a nice bundle of cash to spend.

Cowley won't be there for long considering Hurst got poached from us.

Let's hope this has rejuvenated the Lincoln support and they bring a decent following if they come up to the big boys league.

That's all they were allocated.

It would say that is all they got? They are somewhat limited by the capacity of Turf Moor

Fair enough, didn't know that. In that case massive thumbs down to Burnley for providing so few tickets.

Championship team will take the Cowleys before the start of next season
Their record is impressive. If it wasn't for the mighty mariners, Braintree would be a league team. How do they do it

It'll cost them if they do. They've signed extensions until 2021!

Be surprised if they leave before the end of the season, that contract extension looks very wise indeed now

The woman in the bookies said good look when I put the bet on, my reply was hope not I want Burnley to win.

Worst £27 I've ever won but I'll take it.

I put them in a lucky 15 with Huddersfield wolves and Sutton haha... gutted Huddersfield only got a draw v man city ;)

An Ipswich supporting friend of mine says that the there is a strong rumour that the Cowleys are already on the radar to get the Ipswich gig.

Absolutely fantastic Lincoln and well done our old boys. You lot deserve all the accolades you get but watch out if you are playing us next season  :)

Well done Imps.

They deserve a fixture against Man United (if they win) or Chelsea. But they'll probably get Millwall (icon_lol)

intercourse the imps who cares

When it becomes necessary to cheer on Scotland or Wales you become British. When it becomes necessary to cheer on Lincoln you become from Lincolnshire.

I do like that black and white bit on their shirt.

Well done Lincoln ,you will always be in our shaddow but today you've done Lincolnshire proud. Especially pleased for our old boys Nathan,Dayle and Bradley.

It's basically a win for GTFC's C team really. Hartlepool being the B team.


;)

It looks like the B and C teams could be swapping places SE1

A few weeks ago I was getting really p1ssed of with people banging on about "Danny Cowley's achievements" well credit to him and his team I think this is a "real" achievement.

Though I wish it was not them its good to see tin pot represented this late in the cup.

Quoted from 120790

An Ipswich supporting friend of mine says that the there is a strong rumour that the Cowleys are already on the radar to get the Ipswich gig.

Yep and Gary Mills is doing a sterling job as our manager.

Pathetic by Barton trying to get Rhead sent off - but after seeing Rhead do it to Gowling last season I'd have had a chuckle if it'd worked.

Looking at their last 2 cup games there seems more than a bit of the old Wimbledon of the Fashanu era about the way they play. Yesterday especially they were deliberately rough and provoking Burnley. There's not a lot of football about Lincoln's game plan but it is the one that works for dominating the Conference and upsetting higher league teams. Quite the opposite of how Buckley's side played.

But good luck to them, it's down to the opposition to find an answer.

Making 6 changes didn't do Burnley any favours. I like to see underdogs succeed against the high wage boys but there is this nagging doubt that when you get Lincoln and Millwall through and Sutton playing Arsenal, this isn't the FA Cup that we recognise as a top competition any more. It's just games to give the PL reserve lads a run out and keep them happy.

Quoted from KingstonMariner

of course it does mean we've got Marcus Hannibal's A Team

"I love it when a plan comes to fruitition"

It was a magical day ,they only gave us 3200 & had 600 of their fans in our end bit strange really why they could not give us the whole stand.
Just puzzling where our support has come from for a few seasons we could only manage 500 at yours & yes I was there.
Cowley's have revolutionised the City the side is very fit & well motivated.
Ipswich, Brighton & Burnley under estimated us you can't change your team about and expect to steam roll a Cowley team.
Been through so many tough times just enjoying the whole thing you have to.
Think we have all been there.
Daggers lost & the Veggies so we are 3 clear with 2 in hand onto North Ferriby Tuesday ,crazy we will have 2000 there out of a 2400 crowd.

The draw is today so If you where a Lincoln fan would you want Millwall at home and a reasonable chance of getting to Wembley for the semi or one of the big boys away & cash out?

Go as far as possible for me ,took 5000 to Ipswich non stop singing & did the same yesterday both said best away support in 20 years to their ground.
They are just unbelievable days out want more of them don't want to cash out.
We have made enough money already,

What's going on this season in the FA Cup

Latest..........Blackburn Rovers  1-0  Man UTD

Chuffed for the diehard fans like you Helgy. Of course fans will turn up out of the woodwork now you are having a bit of success but the ones that stick around in the tough times will get the most pleasure from it. To know the true highs, you have to have known the true lows. Getting promoted out of the Conference was the best feeling ever as a Town fan. Hope you manage it this season and if you could pip FGR to the title, or better still, beat them at Wembley, all the better.

Just returned from the pub and need this Lincoln miracle to end as the chances of having a quiet pint have totally disappeared as every man, woman & child now appears to have been a die hard Imp foe ever, still waiting for my son in law to call and provide a full review of his day out in Burnley. Bloody daughter should have found a Codhead to fall in love with!!!

To be fair like Ginny says pleased for the true fans like guy I was talking to who was at Whitehawk last year when they went out and has hardly missed a match in 35 years, those are the fans who deserve this success but it needs to end and bloody quickly!!!

Yeah well done and everything. Genuinely hope they get a Chelsea or Man Utd now - we need to keep it as us being the best FA Cup club in Lincolnshire and they surely couldn't beat either of them!

End of the road for Lincoln as long as they don't get Millwall,...................... Sutton or Huddersfield........... 8)
Draw coming up -

1. Lincoln
2. Tottenham
3. Manchester United
4. Sutton United or Arsenal
5. Middlesbrough
6. Chelsea
7. Huddersfield or Manchester City
8. Millwall

Arsenal/Sutton away for them!

Sutton at home to Lincoln then.

Arsenal (probably) away.

Would've been a better tie for the neutral if it'd been at home (same with Spurs Millwall), but still a great game to get.

What to be a Lincoln player or supporter now. Looks like the final will be Lincoln v Chelsea. If it is I'll be in Lincoln on that day- I'm a burglar  :)

Kerching for Lincoln, unless Sutton do the impossible. They must have made a serious amount of wedge this season and if used wisely, will see them back as an established league club.

Cowley's just been on the telly wishing Sutton good luck............yeah right!

Too right a share of 60,000 at the Emirates will return a serios wedge and they could finish the season as lconference winners and a clebratory trip to Wembley in the FAVase which would make for a serious celebration.

Come. On Marcus get us in the play offs to give me some ammunition to fire back at them.

Get us promotion so we don't have to play them  :)

Quoted from HertsGTFC

Cowley's just been on the telly wishing Sutton good luck............yeah right!

I think he meant it. It would surely mean a Wembley semi final.

Would probably be the biggest upset ever though!

Perfect draw for them really.  You either get a great chance of getting to the semi-final or a money-spinning away tie at the Emirates.  

Funnily enough I think Lincoln lost at home to Sutton in the league earlier this season.

Lincoln fan at work really dreading playing them again in the league. Dirty tactics and liked roughing up their players. I think they drew them in the Trophy as well but they were beaten by Boreham Wood in a replay.

Drawn away again?? Can't catch a break can they ::)

You'll never get rich if thats your trade Golfer, surely you should be in Chelsea on that day not Lincoln  ;).

It will be interesting to see Rhead play against the fanny's that play at the back for Arsenal...........I would definitely play it up to the big (fat) lad😀

Quoted from LH

Oh the irony!

Cracking draw for them... If Sutton do the unlikely then they have a very good chance of getting to Wembley for the semifinals! ... If not then they have a big money away draw at the Emirates!
As someone else has posted I'd like t see Rhead up against the Arsenal back 4, probably won't stand a chance because they'll be super fit but to roughen them up a bit would be good to watch.

Well done Lincoln so far, a special well done to Arnold

Imagine where Town would be if PH was allowed a fitness coach .........Its a massive part of the modern game and we still don't have one ? Lincoln have shown that fitness can get you places even if your not as talented . Matt Rhead had lost a stone but is still affective

I was surprised to read that Rhead (no pun intended) did not become a pro footballer until he was 28. Also surprised that he has been one of Lincoln's best players in their cup run.  

He looks as much a modern pro footballer as fatty Parkin, Mcnulty and Akinfenwa.  Strangely all can "do a job" despite their handicap

He gets all the fat jibes but has one of the lowest body fat rating in the squad lol.
Cowleys' have had the players doing core exercises since day they joined,
It's all about steering clear of injuries & increasing core strength which is very evident even against Premier player.
They do them before training ,joined up with both Uni's they are streets ahead of many managers.
Watching the Ipswich & Brighton warm up's wasn't impressed Ipswich's looked Sunday league standard.
Made fundraising really easy & the fanbase has trebled we can't believe it its like where have they come from even to us.

No. The bulge was definitely higher up than that when I saw him play.   :)

Fat or not (definitely the former!), he scored a decent amount last season when they were shite, so it's not that surprising that he's been one of their best players this season.
