Burley Astonished - Ipswich Town News
Former Town boss George Burley says he was "astonished" when his Derby side were paired with the Blues in the third round of the FA Cup.
Town face the Rams at Portman Road on January 3rd or 4th, their third meeting in two months.
Burley is amazed to be returning to Portman Road so quickly: "I was absolutely astonished when the two sides came out together — it's not what you expect but it's incredible how things sometimes work out in football.
"We've just had two games against Ipswich within the space of a month and now we're playing them again in less than three weeks."
