Wonder if the extension might incorporate Bardsley looking to go into coaching. Never looks out of place at this level when called upon to play.

They were getting excited when they were hovering just below the play offs and Dack was back in January. Reading comments of ‘best squad in league’ and ‘automatic promotion is on’ was amusing. Suddenly a few weeks on they 15 points from the play offs and 8 points off the drop!

The American owners minds will be blown when they witness how long it takes staff to unscrew a lid off a bottle of lager or pour a can into a plastic pint pot!!

As I said he has his faults, but despite missing a fair number of games he's still our leading scorer, and let's be honest Palace apart we've hardly been banging them in have we, so we really can't afford not to give Wood a go from the off in my view anyway, we need wins to create some much needed ...

Steve-Harpers-perm

We need to win 4 of our remaining games or 3 wins and a few draws. Fulham have won 4 games all season if they finish the season doubling and more that stat with the fixtures coming up they will deserve to stay up.

If he can shoot on target he might be set for a start!

Pope 7 - good saves Lowton 6 - out of position a lot but worryingly looks like our best attacking threat currently Taylor 6 - doesn’t look fully fit Mee 5- 1st goal? Tarkowski 6 -average Westwood 6 - as above Cork - as above Brownhill 6 - what on earth was he trying to do for the 2nd goal? Vydra 6 -...

2022 is when his current contract is up, and as yet it doesn't appear he's looking to extend, however I guess if he's backed in the transfer market that might change his mind.

Going to be some major investment needed this summer. 17th game this season we have failed to score in.

Steve-Harpers-perm

Reckon the lather around this sums up what an impossible expectation is placed on refs. It's a completely confected injustice. Pretty sure the way the rules are *applied* means Sam Johnstone was entitled to expect that the whistle wouldnt blow until he was ready. Mason presumably blew early, realis...

Steve-Harpers-perm

He’s from Bolton. He’s always hated us. Years ago he use to be the ref that did pitch inspections for Ramsbottom United when required. Harry Williams at Rammy hated him. They would spend all morning getting the pitch “playable”. Mason would turn up, sign the Match postponed form and p1ss off. Going...

Amazing he has managed to make a career for as long as he has! Absolutely inept and he certainly doesn’t like Burnley!

Equally there will be loads that aren't. As stated, people get out of the habit, filled that time with things they're enjoying and if they live a distance away, less costly. It may be a while before some people return, if at all. I get the ‘out of habit’ argument but it’s not like there’s been much...

Steve-Harpers-perm

I have specifically talked down the new owners. They have not got a penny to there name and have put a well run club into debt. I am a life long clarets fan and I think there is more than enough being said about the club in the press to be concerned. I don’t understand why fans are not allowed to s...

JBG as just signed a new contract so going nowhere

He can still be sold. His future evidently isn’t cut out for top flight football. Same with Brady. Their contract extensions mean we can command some sort of fee for them although be tempting to pay them both up.

I would arguably swap squads.

Why?

Steve-Harpers-perm

Tarkowski will leave don’t expect Pope or McNeil to go unless really silly money is offered. Hopefully we’ll be looking to ship the injury prone duo of Brady and JBG out and bring in two replacements.

Steve-Harpers-perm

No point worrying about what the bottom 3 are doing if we can’t scrape 12 points (probably need less)in our remaining games we don’t deserve to be in this division.

Steve-Harpers-perm

Pope 7 rest of them 4 and that is being generous. They can old be thankful there were no fans on the ground to witness that. Yet another game this season where we haven’t managed a single shot on target must be an amazing number of opposition keepers who have had to do nothing against us this season...

He wasn’t born in Burnley? We’ll have no trouble here!

Do clubs still have Fanzines....always got a good laugh reading one on the ×43 back to Rawtenstall after a game?

Some great fanzines back in the 90’s No Nay Never and Marlon’s Gloves.

It was always amusing when an outfield player took over the position of goalkeeper after an injury or sending off. The jersey was far too big and some of their attempts at goal kicks were laughable, especially on a heavy pitch.

Reminds me of Andy Farrell against Stockport!

Steve-Harpers-perm

We were knocked out of the FA Cup in the 1st round by Bolton in 1987/88 and arranged friendlies on both 2nd and 3rd round days against Preston and Huddersfield respectively and someone who posts on this board was involved in organising the Huddersfield game. We beat Preston 3-1 with goals from Davi...

Likely to be his last appearance in a Burnley shirt. Not that many games left to shake his injury or get in form.

With the size of our squad and the injuries he will play again.

Steve-Harpers-perm

He was garbage. Let one in, could have been sent off and missed a sitter in his 15 mins.

Steve-Harpers-perm

Did we used to clap the ball boys before the teams ran out? I'm sure i can remember it in the early 90s, they'd all run to the centre circle and applaud the crowd and then scatter to their positions. Definitely they came out first remember as one of my pals was one in the 90’s. He once got told off...

Goalkeepers wearing gloves seemed to happen overnight anyone remember when this happened ?

Late 70’s or early 80’s at a guess.

Steve-Harpers-perm

I thought they started by announcing it to the crowd over the tannoy before they started holding up on the board.

Steve-Harpers-perm

My dad was on about random things you don’t see in the game anymore old scoreboards, 10 minute half time etc. What season was added time announced/shown to the fans in the ground? It used to be the referees discretion with frantic whistling from the longside being a memory in the late 80’s and early...

His name rings a bell but then we’ve had so many bad refs over the years it’s hard to remember particular games.

8’s, 9’s and 10’s. Superb team performance. I’ve lost count of the number of times Dyche is questioned after a defeat and his players follow it up with a win. Up the clarets!

Steve-Harpers-perm

Sure Eyres missed an open net in front of cricket field possibly against Swansea.

I feel a bit sorry for the young lads. With respect, all should be out on loan and nowhere near a Premier League squad at the moment. But poor window after window has dictated the utter mess this squad is in. We might scrape staying up, but we need a monumental rebuild. Grim. As for Dyche, nobody i...

I've thought of another, Ryan Fraser.

Soft shite dwarf.

Never tire of watching Tarkowski flatten him!

Lowton for me bar the mishap which led to the JBG booking thought he was superb both defending and going forward.

Yes or perhaps the journalists know the facts and are reporting the realities of our situation. An owner with no money has managed to take over a premier league club.

Nothing really new there but interesting to see another prominent journalist doubling down on the takeover details.

Fair enough, if you are genuinely excited. I honestly thought you were just taking the mick out of people that were genuinely concerned.
