Thanks for the comments about this week's midweek special! I think the unease that people are feeling is the lack of commentary from ALK about the accounts. The accounts show a couple of worrying points but ALK don't seem to want to ease any fears. Maybe that's because they're not worried (if not t...

I would also say an issue is young people not becoming referees in local football and progressing through the ranks due to the sheer fact that they don't want to put up with the abuse they receive at grassroots level, thus we have less of a talent pool to choose from. I’m not so sure that’s still t...

What happens if he doesn’t play in 75% of games?

Winstonswhite

Rubbish. People will believe anything.

When we play France in the Quarters of the Euros coming up, it wont be a bit of magic from Kane that wins us the game, it’ll be a bit of magic from Mbappe. And that’s the difference. World class talent do it on the biggest stage and the biggest games. Kane doesn’t.

As we visit Goodison tomorrow, for possibly the last ever time, it got me thinking how many old grounds/stands there are left.

The Bullens Rd stand was opened in 1926. Are there any older?? I can only think of Kenilworth Road and maybe parts of Villa Park that remain in the Premier League

Winstonswhite

I know I’m going to sound like a loon, but I think he’s overrated.

He pretty much builds the team around Kane and I think that’s proven quite a sensible thing to do.

He’s definitely the first name on the team sheet, but in the latter parts of tournaments against the better teams, Kane does struggle. We do need a plan B.

Winstonswhite

It’s unbelievable we went over 70 matches without a red card under Dyche.

Winstonswhite

Wolves are and Gary O’Neill are no mugs and this will eb a huge test .., but we now look like we can win games and with the fans home support I’m optimistic we can win on Tuesday night ..,, unless the red ruins it for us Probably sound like a right miserable b@stard, but “we now look like we can wi...

If the Newcastle player hadn’t feigned injury then he might have had a chance of helping defend the quick free kick. Just a thought

Winstonswhite

Apologies if already discussed, but I sit in between two pensioners in the BLS, and both when the subject of renewals has been discussed in the past say the same thing. “At £275 a season, we’d be daft to give up these seats, we can pick and choose our games”. They go to about half the matches. I’d b...

17th in the Premier League whoopy do!

England win the Euros, we get relegated, then romp to another Championship next season.

Burnley win the FA Cup for the second question. I’d actually take a League/FA Cup win and relegation tbh

No?

You’re saying Brentford didn’t look interested and didnt respond well? They scored as many goals as us after the penalty, played 90+ minutes with ten men and by all accounts our keeper put in a man of the match performance. I’d argue they didn’t do too bad!

Like rest of team
10 men and 1 down after 10mins they didn't respond well to that.

And we did?!

Whilst I agree that reactions to things on here can be quite hysterical at times, I think people who have a monthly direct debit which is due to expire/renew at the end of this month should have been communicated as to what to do or expect. When I spoke to the tickets office, they told me emails we...

Nobody should have to be contacting anyone about season tickets. The prices should be out and they should be on sale. As they are not out, we should be told why.

The next season doesn’t start for at least another 20 weeks, you do know that don’t you?

Winstonswhite

It’s really simple; it’s because we’re losing and that isn’t enjoyable. If the style, board and team were all the same but we were winning every week you’d have sacked off the coffee and mate to watch the match. Likewise, if are all the same next season and we’re winning every week everyone will fe...

“ Never going to happen like that again next season imo.”

No I can’t say it will either. But there’s no reason why the players we currently have, can’t get us automatic promotion. The gulf between the Prem and Championship is just massive.

Winstonswhite

I’ve got my tickets. Just hoping Wigan make a good game of it. Penrith will be well up for it after last year.

Winstonswhite

Roll on 14th of June I say. We stand a good chance again but I think we’re in the same side of the draw as France and can’t see us beating them

Winstonswhite

They are out on loan for a reason - VK does not fancy any of them even as "squad" players Don't see much of a future for many even in the Championship next season so might as well let them go especially if we can get in some money I’d keep Zaroury, Mellon and Twine. Regarding Twine specifically , i...

Our target should be 8 wins and a couple of draws. It’s more than achievable

That’s a 50% win rate.

To put into context, West Ham, currently 6th have a 45% win rate.

You’re dreaming pal!!

Winstonswhite

I wonder if there’s ever been a club who have gone through a period of two managers and management, who are polar opposites in every way, in such a short period of time.

Another anti VK poster, can’t even accept players are injured without accusing VK of lying.

Yeah god forbid a poster being anti the manager eh KRBFC?!?? Oh the irony….

Not a massive fan to be honest, but went last night. They were absolutely amazing- best gig I've been to in years.

They’re not going to win it though are they?

Winstonswhite

I think he’s got something about him and looks the part. Good move for him and hope he can get a good run of games.

Winstonswhite

Given how much Mellons pushed on, and Richardson is the same age, he must want to go out on loan. It’s been a long time since he was out at Grimsby.

Fingers crossed he can find somewhere before the end of Jan.

Because football was so successful every bloodsucker and self promoter in the world attach themselves to it; creating unsustainable business models and slow roasting the golden goose. Football fans want football clubs not business and finance opportunities and the closest to the old top division is...

Just please get Chris Boden educated on our transfer spend in the summer. For an experienced reporter it’s painful. Fees with future potential bonuses (most of our deals given their age) does NOT mean that money has been paid yet, or ever will be! If he mentions 130m again, when it’s actually way b...

I think this has been mentioned before, but why was part of the crickefield end shut- Was it punishment for something or other?

I'm sure if you want to go digging there's some athletic article that reported all this, the amount of money ALK as a collective put up for the buyout was only around £15 mill Certainly not posting lies but whatever. It's strange how ones pointing out their dislike of investors leveraging a lot of ...

Winstonswhite

I don't have precise figures - The Athletic reported some dividend fee a while back - which btw I have no issue with dividends for a well ran club for investors/board. What I have issue with is the approach of leveraging the club with this level of risk/debt whilst making more money than they bough...

Winstonswhite

If I've said it once I'll say it a million times. I am extremely uneasy with the leverage ALK are putting on BFC. They've already got their money back (and more), I won't rush to hyperbole here but I hope this could get cleaned up with some more understanding asap. You say "theyve" already got ther...

Probably considered a local derby. Huddersfield will be taking 8k no doubt.

I think the numbers given were that each arrest would take 2-4 police away from the matchday policing operation. Ok. Well arrest one person per match. At least that’s a start. This has been a growing problem for the last ten years and I’d be interested to know how many people have been arrested in ...

Winstonswhite

The trouble is that last bit. The police don't have the resources to take everyone down to the police station and charge them. Maybe the clubs could pay for the extra resources but that isn't going to work further down the league and then you'd get the question of why only football clubs have to pa...

Winstonswhite

The solution is sniffer dogs, random stop and search and charging for possession- or is that too straightforward?

Winstonswhite

Such an embarrassing reaction from the Preston player.

Winstonswhite

The feigning of injury is just embarrassing at times. Kane, Maddison, Martinez last week vs Brentford, makes it unwatchable at times.
