Re: Alasdair Beattie gone too
Totally separate to the rest going but to treat someone the way they have Beattie with not even a mention sums up what a terrible club we are becoming. And yes, CT is correct. I wouldn’t have posted it otherwise. I couldn’t name him initially though. Sums up what a terrible website this is becoming.

Re: Celtic v Rangers
I think it's stunning that Burnley fans of all people can have a go at the quality of football in any top division in Europe. We are brutally effective at our best, diabolical at our worst. No chance do we hypothetically walk into another league and start dominating teams when our whole ethos is to ...

Re: Celtic v Rangers
Scotland is a small country with two massive teams in it. The standard is very much dictated by that and the league suffers as a result. There are clubs the size of League 2 teams in the Scottish Prem. That said, both Old Firm teams are very good, as good as they've been for a while, and for anyone ...

It's not more at the end of the day, you are just condensing the Burnley fans into the home games and preventing them from going to away games. Away fans would be too much of a risk.
