We’ve come a long way since having a whip round for Malcolm Smith.

He’s here, he’s there ……
What was it £35,000?

Love that stadium
Saw the Mighty yellows of Estoril play there a few year ago

Flemming played really well for them early on in the season at the Turf.
Don’t think he is blessed with pace,but he was a real threat all night

One of the greatest groups ever.IMHO.. Here's a great article with Sir Ray Davies about his songs and career.

I'm going to try and get another couple of ex-player articles written during the close season following on from yesterday's on Dobbo. Any suggestions as to who you would like including?

April 8th 1977 - Turf Moor - Burnley. Clarets v Blackburn Rovers - Division Two. Result 3-1 to Burnley I took the photos myself from the Beehole terrace. Somewhere I have a photo of Malcolm Smith firing Burnley into an early lead but it has gone missing. I think one of the attached pictures shows t...

I’ve got sympathy for Willian, natural reaction to try and stop it. Just take the red and move on.

I’m not sure why Fulham lost their heads over it.

That because you don’t understand Football.Don’t fret

Thanks for your reflection on Corks performance.

My point was not relative .It was specific to the performance of JBG.
Carry on being pedantic though, you clearly enjoy it

Peacock-Farrell 3 he’s nowhere near good enough Roberts 5 tried early on but struggled as it went on Beyer 6 good with the ball, some way off it defensively Al-Dakhil 4 made to look extremely weak Maatsen 3 really taught a lesson and didn’t have any answers. Cullen 6 tried his best but left exposed...

Another thread with huge potential

You can almost see them warming up in front of their keyboards

It never ceases to amaze me, on my infrequent trips to this Board how fellow posters can recall other posters contributions to such a degree.

In my time…

Ernie Els (so chilled and watchable)

David Duval (dialled in…I watched his 59 live…one of the greatest things I’ve ever seen in sport).

Rick Fowler

David Duval and entertaining

Another rumour to throw into the hat. It sounds like complete ******** but Arthur Gomes for 2.5m Euros from a Brazilian club. I can only imagine if there is any truth in this it is do with ALKs Links

He’s just scored v Sporting against Tottenham

Essential requirements must be a brain, adequate hearing to detect a 'phone call and basic office skills.

Ability to organise a p!ss up in a brewery would also be a good start.

Totally concur with the ability to answer the phone.Non existent service

The starting point of the current situation is the former chairman imo. The payments from tv are to help make the league competitive. If you play the cautious route and keep reserves to protect the club fair enough but to sell those cash reserves to a leveraged buyout and to line your own pockets (...

What makes you think it was Garlik that refused to spend rather than Dyche not wanting to take a risk on the players that were available?

I think if you were able to view Garlicks bank balance or projected income you may fund that an easy puzzle to solve

Longtimeclaret

Presumably both of these keen Claret fans will be itching to reinvest in the Club

Longtimeclaret

Will Garlick retain his seat on the Board next season?

Unlikely, there's been a few local pubs hit with big fines for streaming games.
Many others have had cease and desist letters from Sky / BT Sport's legal teams.

Thanks for the response Gawthorpe
Will have to resort to illegal streaming at home

So if it’s not on Sky
Is it “watchable” in any pubs locally ?

Just kicking off the thread to discuss the club's accounts for the accounting period ended 31st July 2021.

Got a what’s app message from my Spurs supporting mate ,”Why sack Dyche”?
Couldn’t believe it

Longtimeclaret

The current Chairman and the extended owners are clueless and also potless.The latter is more worrying The previous ownership have benefitted significantly from the sale of the Club The majority of Claret fans can see it for what it is An absolute F***kin joke at Boardroom level Sean Dyche has done ...

Longtimeclaret

Tough one to take today .Central midfield woeful ,and where as we all know we should have been investing in the the previous windows
Must be difficult for our previous Chairman to wonder where to spend his ill gotten gains

Longtimeclaret

As the initiator of this thread ,maybe it would be better to reflect in a non libellous manner , who has benefited most from the previous Chairman’s tenure
Mike Garlick or Burnley Football Club?

Longtimeclaret

The bottom line is that Garlick saw an opportunity to make a ridiculous sum of money at the Clubs expense.He chose not to release appropriate investment in at least 2 transfer windows , and the results are now evident

Longtimeclaret

Where are we now Is largely in my view , down to the greed of the previous Chairman and the reluctance to invest in various windows prior to the sale of the Club to ALK

When you consider the tenure of Barry Kirby and his love for the Club, and compare that with Garlick it’s chalk and cheese
