I'm currently listening to Radio Lancs on t'internet. From the pre-match build-up, it is safe to assume that the game goes ahead!

Id concentrate on beating Cardiff tonight before asking about Colchester, don't count your chickens!!

I know, it will be bad if we lose tonight.

At least hughes will play a strong side.

For any Burnley fans out there, perhaps you would like to read this, from the Daily telegraph sportspages, which are e-mailed to me every day: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/mai...9/sfgbur19.xml

And just to prove there is no bias, here is something for Rovers fans to read: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/mai...9/ixfooty.html

This is how the Americans reported it. Notice Minor League Club. (loved that bit)
LONDON - Liverpool was eliminated from the FA Cup by minor-league club Burnley 1-0 in the third round, losing on an own-goal in the 51st minute.Liverpool, which is in fifth place in the Premier League, put the ball in its own net when Djimi Traore accidentally kicked in a cross. Liverpool is the biggest club to be ousted at this stage of the world's oldest knockout competition this season.

I assume this fine piece of journalism(?) came from The National Enquirer.

Having experienced at first hand just how dumb the Septics are when it comes to "saw-ker", it would not surprise me if it came from the more respected pages of America Today.
