Did the Chaiman saying we bid £20m for a player over the summer "tickle" SD ? SD often spins the media and us fans some tales, often jesting too. I'd take absolutely nothing he says in press conferences ( especially regarding transfers ) seriously. He doesnt speak about players open and honestly un...

MACCA

10m now, could be 20m in the summer. If a target is available, that you think improves you, you do the business, I'd be surprised if it happens, he is the only arrival. I expect Tarky or Gibson to leave in the next 8 months, so we need to get ahead now so we arent getting our fingers burnt trying to...

I think looking log term, starting a conveyor belt of talent whether thsts through the academy or buying rough diamonds to polish up. I'm delighted we are rumoured to be looking at a 22 year old CB. Thsts exactly what we should be doing, looking for the next Tarky, Pooe, MCNeil and Wood. They could ...

No, it was definitely you who said that Dyche isn't a brave manager.

You quoted someone saying they thought SD was a "coward" I didnt say that, so you've either made something up or quoted the wrong person.

But for ease I'll say you're opinion is the right one and you are correct.

MACCA

It just seems a bit like the Drinkwater thing. Plenty of people on here were saying that Drinkwater should be in the side ahead of Cork and/or Westwell because he was clearly the better player and that Dyche should be picking him. Now, Dyche hadn't seen any more of Drinkwater playing first team foo...

MACCA

No, not controversial at all. All I'm saying is Dyche must think Mee is the better of the two players. Joint record signing is irrelevant - yes I'm sure Gibson isn't an awful player but he has to be much better than Mee to get him out of the team. Mee has made some mistakes this season but he also ...

MACCA

We have some proper melts supporting our club. We beat a top 3 team with more resources than we can dream of....bringing off their bench today a £40m midfielder and a £25m striker....and still we have fans who feel the need to start or contribute to threads criticising one of our players. So Ben Me...

MACCA

I have no idea whether Ben Gibson deserves a place in the side, because I don't watch training at all. Presumably you do. How is he training? Or at least, how was he training before his injury? You presumed wrong. I dont know. But on a side note, he doesnt even deserve a chance because Ben Mee has ...

MACCA

We certainly did win.
I wonder how many actually witnessed it at Turf Moor, theres quite a lot of TV fans fans on both sides that either only choose to comment when we either win or lose.

I know it's fashionable among a certain type of supporter, at all clubs, to pick a player to hate and boo no matter what he does. But Ben Mee? Really?

He's no where near the "boo boy".
Jeff, Lowton, and Brady to name just a few are way ahead if him if you're trying to push that tag

MACCA

I suppose it's fair enough, though big headed, to think you're a better judge of a footballer than Sean Dyche is. Maybe it's true, But to claim that you are so obviously a better judge that it can be only cowardice that stops him agreeing with you? That carries arrogance to surely unprecedented lev...

Pope 9 Bardsley 7 Mee 4 undroppable, so no point rating him Tarkowski 7 Taylor 7 Hendrick 6 he's no winger, but often took safety first, especially first half Westwood 7 Cork 5 gives his all but his limitations are so obvious McNeil 6 cant remember his last influential game Wood 7 Rodriguez 7 It was...

MACCA

Nope, still very average.
Had many a opportunity to drive at their defence when we had an overload, but often checked back for the safer option.
Really does restrict is to only having 1 attacking threat, which is the left side

I would argue that this was THE big save...BA369669-0B03-45D3-9B47-86E0365B1D93.jpeg

That goes in and we’re 2-0 down within a minute of the restart. We found momentum after that and maintained it despite the penalty that followed.

Fully agree, great strong hand!

MACCA

Thank you Nick Pope a season defining save IMO. That save probably nets us another 120m. Lose today and we were in big trouble, that save galvanised the fans and players and probably ensures we stay up. But it doesn't mask over the improvements needed for me, a bit of good fortune doesnt abd shouldn...

MACCA

If Gibson wasn't going to get a chance pre Christmas last season he never was . It was game over as far as starts for Burnley was concerned. Regardless of displays, Ben Mee is undroppable, he is captain and that is it. Just one of those things. Giving him the captaincy has been the problem as it tak...

And a chance of getting splinters in your @rse every week what's not to like

Or a shot at the premier league if Tarky either gets injured or moves on in the summer.

Tgese so called sports stars dont seem too upset to sit and observe, especially if you've doubled your wages.

I'm sure Fry will have a word with Gibson before he comes here.

You'd certainly think so, but if like most people, a double your wage situation and the chance to join a premier league team might be too good to turn down.

MACCA

Fry is a fine signing, theres already speculation regarding Tarks leaving, and if that does happen in the summer and we net 40-50m, then surely it's better to have his replacement here and upto speed ready to slot straight in. Also doing it now for say 10m, who's to say if Tarky left for the aforeme...

MACCA

SA will follow on.

Correct decision IMO

MACCA

All done and dusted inside 5 overs, Broad again

SA 209 all out

I'd follow on here, balls doing bits, we are fresh, and SA in disarray

MACCA

Edit 208/9

3 gone in the first 3 overs.

Broad 2, Curran 1

Not sure What SA have done, theyve come out swinging, very, very loose

MACCA

Fantastic start to the morning session

Both De Kock and Philander clean bowled in the opening 2 overs, no better sight than the wickets csrtwheeling back.

SA need 92 more to avoid the follow on

208/8

MACCA

Considering the opposing form of both sides, yes. Suppose it depends if you’re glass half full or empty. I thought today’s results were generally good. Would have preferred a Brighton win but a draw keeps them down there and Villa don’t gain much. We have given chelsea their easiest 6 points of the...

MACCA

What a debut for Dortmund! Scores a hat trick in a 5-3 win. He must be some player! That's only half the story, he came off the bench on 56 minutes with his side 3-1 down away from home, and scored a 20 minute hat trick and his side won 5-3. That's what dreams are made of for both the player and th...

Anyone know of a decent place nearby for decent grub and a pint before the game please ?

The griffin is meant to be excellent on Burnley road.
Straight off the junction of the A56, you cant miss it, after the petrol station on the right.

Fantastic start, gutted I'm out from 9.30 until about 12 so will miss most of the action.

Small crowd today, locals handed out SA flags to get more input after we smashed 499. Big crowd expected on Saturday. Only one clarets flag on show.

So the Lowerhouse/Burnley/England flag, Frank E, and a Walden CC flag all on TV today.

MACCA

Remember Alan from the old Colne Clarers days, a real character and a man you got used to seeing and/or hearing at away games.

Thoughts are very much with his friends and family at this sad time.

RIP Alan, you'll always be a claret!

MACCA

Gone 1-0 Leicester, but a much better defensive display from us.

MACCA

SA close on 60/2

Great day for us.

Pivotal wicket in the last over, and fair play to the lad for walking, the umpire looked like he wasnt moving.

Perfect scenario for Buttler today but yet again he fluffed his lines Loads of runs on the board, no pressure, you could semi understand him getting caught smashing the spinner all over, he just offered it him back, a nothing shot. Should still get past 400, then its another psychological milestone
