Just submitted my second PhD Thesis which applies the work of Adorno and Weber to the views expressed on this board.

Who do they play for?

wait until you see the one Bristol City got that could well send Huddersfield down

Classic big club subconscious bias…

Middle-agedClaret

As ever - there is no thread on UTC without the potential to end in sniping and bickering…
IMHO, of course.

I know there is a strong view that our misfortune on the pitch can all be laid at the door of dodgy refs, bias, and VAR.
But - if you cannot take chances as good as the two we’ve managed to miss so far in this game…

I was quite surprised when no one came in for him in the January window, maybe not a PL club but surely a big team in the Championship could have used his talents.
30 goals now, he's kept them up on his own.

…now that’s what an effective recruitment campaign looks like…

Middle-agedClaret

Good result for Rovers.
They won’t go down without a fight.
And, fwiw, I’m glad Leeds lost. Even better if they lose in the play-offs as well.

Middle-agedClaret

Would these be the same Ex players who incense so many on here with their cheating, diving, falling over if breathed on, shot-by-sniper impersonations, shirt-pulling, deliberate handballs…..

Middle-agedClaret

My own view -FWIW - is that this story is much ado about nothing. However, in a world where the actions detailed at the link can take place, there is probably a major criminal investigation taking place as I type… https://www.personneltoday.com/hr/tribunal-head-teacher-was-unfairly-dismissed-after-t...

I wish I could agree with you but remember, this lot are naive Yanks. Yes they are obviously very clever or astute people in their professional banking/financier roles, however I don’t think they have grasped what it is to be a supporter of a football team in an impoverished town in the north west ...

Careful with that axe, Eugene.

“Money isn’t a motivator anymore in football. A good player in the Championship/Premier League has enough by year two/three to last him and his family a lifetime.“
Of course - all those players are heading off to Saudi Arabia purely for the culture and climate.

I used to buy SOUNDS weekly music newspaper in the mid to late 70s.One week in 1975 they published a list of bands and their gig rate.I distinctly remember Thin Lizzy could be hired for £450

Book Thin Lizzy for £450?

I think that was answered by the amount of money raised compared to when it was held in Burnley

OK. I’m sure you are correct. The point isn’t made in the FAB account.

Middle-agedClaret

I realise that these will seem like petty observations on the FAB account, but I’d like to have some of whatever the Chairman’s on if he’s feeling optimistic about the “group”.
And I’m genuinely surprised if no one at the meeting questioned why the Burnley FC dinner was being held in Manchester.

I didn’t know he’d played for us.
Great for Villa, and a true NornIron stalwart. A proper old-school central defender.
RIP, Chris.

Running. Took it up many years ago, to provide a focus for my “stop smoking “ efforts. Still love it, although these days it’s 10 k rather than half-marathon. (btw interested to see how many other posters are runners - some real hardcore! Walking with my dog. Now that I have more time, a daily treat...

Is it because of him that we keep losing then?

Hi Tony
After a ridiculously busy day, I’ve come late to this news.
I echo what other posters have said - hope you’ve had a great day, and thanks to you for all you do for the rest of us.
UTC
And…UTCT!

Middle-agedClaret

Middle-agedClaret

Not for us -please.

Middle-agedClaret

Yes.
As others have said - it’s wrong, rude and ignorant not to do so.

Middle-agedClaret

Merry Christmas to all the UTC community. Let’s hope for a pointtastic 2024.
And thanks to Tony and the team for continuing to provide us with such a lively and welcome board.

Middle-agedClaret

Thanks, Tony. A very enjoyable read.
And, as already said - love the Sander Berge song!

Somewhat off this specific topic I know, but…the info about the programme on PBS America at 8.35 pm tonight ( Channei 84 on Freeviw) called “Edwardian Britain in Colour” promises “footage of a football match In Burnley “
Might we see any of our fellow posters in the crowd?

Having seen the comments about this year’s “SPOTY” reminded me of another urban myth. I’d heard , long ago, that the reason why the BBC moved away from a completely open selection process for the nominees to a BBC- chosen shortlist was , variously, a wave of nominations for either Justin Fashanu or ...

I think it’s a poor decision by Forest. Not sure that we are in any position to profit, should the new manager do any worse.
And, FWIW, I don’t think Nino is that good a manager. Didn’t he recently get sacked by one of those identikit Saudi teams?

It's horrendous, sickening, frightening and outrageous.
However, I have 2 spare tickets, if anybody fancies joining me.

One I remember from my youth concerned the Beatles Abbey Road album cover. It fitted in with a rumour that Paul Mc Cartney had died, and been replaced by a lookalike. On the cover photo, Paul was barefoot - like a corpse, John was in white - like Jesus. Ring was in a black suit - an undertaker. Geor...

It's not about the snowflake stickers in the window or whatever the f.uck, it's about a Steve Coogan character starting a thread where there's a word in the title which is used by overly-political people in a kind of incendiary way, but this character is trying to play it off as some kind of goofy ...

I know that distance lends enhancement and all that, but he seemed to be a manager with passion and sincerity - not an automaton dependent on metrics.
