Mansfield Town bowed out of the FA Cup in the third round this afternoon against classy Burnley from the First Division. Burnley were superb at times and fully deserved their victory in front of the biggest Field Mill crowd for 20 months. However one of the biggest talking points was the harsh sending off of Jamie Clarke in the first half. Two more players were sent off in the second half, though those decisions appeared to be correct.
