Tipps69 Posted February 18, 2017 Report Share Posted February 18, 2017 Instead of having 11 kids come out with the players as mascots, they had 11 'oldies' come out with the players & do the hand shakes with the Lincoln players. A very nice touch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Top bloke is Dyche and I'd love to see him manage City at some stage in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dyche said himself that it didn't work out for him at City largely because he was suffering from a back injury but it would foolish for any City fan to judge his managerial skills on his playing career.

That certainly doesn't apply to Dyche, who I reckon would make a top England manager when Southgate gets sacked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedM Posted February 18, 2017 Report Share Posted February 18, 2017 Another thing Burnley did was this, not seen it done anywhere else before. Their shop manager saw us looking and came over to chat to us. He says they do it for every visiting team to try to be welcoming to the fans. Burnley have a new shop, only opened this season and the manager was rightly very pleased with it. We thought this was lovely gesture and told him so, he was positively bursting with pride bless him!

CotswoldRed Posted February 18, 2017 Report Share Posted February 18, 2017 Shame their players then go out immediately afterwards feeling the need to cheat their way to a win over a non league club. Deplorable behaviour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps, but are we talking about their second team, or their first eleven? Regardless; took us two games to beat a League One side in round three - think Lincoln may very well have beat us we're we playing them today.
