Fair play to them. Hope we get them in the next round

And at fortress Turf Moor...Fantastic

Looking at the wholesale changes being made by the "big" clubs, I wouldn´t be surprised to see other shocks. Shame on them as supporters pay good money to see top players, not 2nd string players.

First non league in quarter finals in over 100 years..Great for football.
Well done imps.

Trust you to belittle a non league sides achievement, and Burnley a Premier squad still more experienced.
What about praising Lincoln instead eh.

[ChesterTheTabby]

Would love to see Huddersfield beat Manchester City today.

I live in Lincoln and they are dancing in the street !

I've been to see them play a few times this season and they are a tough, organised team and Matt Rhead (number 9) is a hell of a player.

If we get through and are drawn away at Sincil Bank it will make life easy for me but not an easy game for our boys!

  Them or Sutton at home please, IF we get through.

10 man Millwall beating Leicester.

[Lighthouse]

Too many shocks in the Cup for us to add do it tomorrow. Millwall with ten men beat Leicester.

[Walsh]

I think we all know what's coming... Arsenal vs Lincoln.

They'll get the easiest cup run in history.

Thought that it was that lot up the road that always get the easy draw.

It's a fantastic achievement for Lincoln, no question, but Grandad does have a point. Big upsets will become more and more common if top sides are only ever going to send out their second or third string players for the FA Cup.
Having said that, this is an amazing result and full praise to Lincoln.

Burnley made a few changes today, but you could hardly call them a second string of players.

The whole changes conversation sounds a bit hypocritic to me though - we all want teams to nurture new talents, have depth etc BUT they should be always playing the same 11 otherwise they are disrespectful.

Fair play to them. Hope we get them in the next round

They don't, they want a big payday with a premiership club, not little old us.
Re the argument on weakened premiership sides, would we have beaten a full strength Hull side in the last round? We will never know!

Having seen the highlights I am so pleased that Joey Barton's team lost.

As I said, full praise to Lincoln - I'm not belittling their result or saying Burnley put out a significantly weakened team.
My point is, as more and more clubs make Premier League status their priority, we'll see more and more upsets because teams will inevitably save their best players for when it really matters.
Which is a shame, not just for their fans, but also for the smaller clubs whose big Cup tie will be lessened by the bigger clubs not taking it seriously.

10 man Millwall beating Leicester.

Watched that game and thought Leicester were very poor.  Not enough effort and commitment coupled with an obvious lack of confidence. They don't utilise their pace as well as last year and they are a shadow of last years team.

The incident where he intentionally walked into the Lincoln player's arm was very odd. Should have been sent off for the stamp. Have to wonder what goes through his head.

Okazaki should have had a hat-trick too. The quality of their finishing was very, very poor. They are playing Sevilla next week, who look like a very tidy side. It could be a very long night for Leicester.
