Unbelievable. I'd still be starting both if it was up to me. I'm pretty sure they'd have helped us have more points than our current pathetic tally.

Starting both in the PL? Based on what? Sentiment?

Cork and Jay Rod’s best seasons were in the last decade.

Welsh on 4th official duties, dont think Huddersfield were too happy with her late penalty decision against them on Saturday

Great effort and well done NL claret - I think from feedback that a lot of people prefer to simply read the initial question post and do their own answers in their own good time and not getting involved with the rat race of quick fire answers - I can see that being more fun for many. Hope you enjoy...

I also hope we sell Benson and one of Muric/Trafford to stop this fawning over them which has created some toxic fan base.

Great point KR

NL Claret

The new buzzword that people like to use on here. FWIW I'd have Muric or Trafford over pretty much anyone we are likely to be able to sign once relegated. Signing a new keeper for the Champ when we have one that literally ****** that league last time out and another that will be more than good enou...

Buy a new keeper so that fans stop having an opinion on current goalkeepers?

You spelt agenda wrong

NL Claret

Just no. Especially not for the Champ seen as we had the best one in the division last time that is... still on our books. 4 minutes, thought it might have taken a bit longer. New keeper ends the pathetic infantile Trafford v Muric debate, think it’s the way forward. Too many on here (and their mul...

Goalkeeper too

NL Claret

Could only cope with flicking through a few posts, Trafford has not played for a few weeks now yet still getting drawn in for criticism, 2 mistakes by Muric have been horrific, can’t imagine the meltdown on here if Trafford had committed such poor errors as Muric has today and last Sat. All the hype...

Thought this was going to be about the Odobert penalty call today? Not watched that back but it looked a pen to me live. Assuming it wasn’t given lack of discussion on it… Watched the game on TV, in normal time without replays for me no penalty then on replays it was a penalty and then watching ano...

Muric 3 - would have subbed him after their goal, his head seemed to have fallen off and for the second game running any confidence or hope for both players and fans drained away. Not sure he has the mentality for PL football Assigion 5 Ekdal 6 - had a good battle with Wellbeck which he won, probabl...

And Verbruggens after his error costing them a goal. The other keeper we wanred

Shows how hard it is for keepers in this league

I can only put it down today to mental pressure. He will never have done that in training. It's unfathomable.

BHA defender more at fault than the keeper.

NL Claret

Only skimmed through the posts but saw Trafford mentioned a few times, I didn't think he played, unused sub.

Hi NL claret. Thanks for trying the quiz. There are some tough questions and some of our board members are very quick on the draw. Although it doesnt show on the message board quite a number of people dont look at the live thread and simply do the quiz at home prewsumably quietly away by themselves...

NL Claret

Taylor on the bench, yay.

Mike Tresor on the bench……….

NL Claret

Thought I’d got 10 however looking at answers it’s an 8 for me. Luton, Colchester, Ted McMinn/ Tin Man.

I had Branch (and Paul Cook) both signing from Tranmere, had forgotten their time at Stockport. Both great signings.

Edit 9, Clive Middlemass

NL Claret

The tedious and weird Trafford v Muric thing continues. It was a 3/10 performance because the error could have been avoided and it appeared to have a negative impact all round, it cost us the game, irrespective of the context of the game. I would have given him 3 if it was a mid table dead rubber. T...

James Trafford lives , rent free, in my head. Even though he's been dropped I can't move on.

NL Claret

We've conceded 67 goals. We'd have to score 2 a game just to get a point. In reality, the problems at the back and the tactics cause the problems up-front. VK is the architect of a system that can't work in the PL. I said it last season and it's proven to be true. If you have the best players in th...

NL Claret

Not done this for some years so here it goes. Muric 3 - a poor quality half of the game is ending with a tepid finish with the natives getting restless, it finishes with Dyche giving a totally different team talk and the natives up for creating an atmosphere which was previously heading for toxic, K...

NL Claret

Not sure of the rules these days, I thought red cards were given for denying an obvious goalscoring opportunity with a foul, given how bad Everton were and how far away from goal the player was, was it obvious? Oliver was lenient on yellow cards early on.

The problem with counties top division is that it has 24 clubs, with FAC, Vase , League Cup and County Cups there’s too many games to fit in plus this has been a very wet winter and spring. Not sure why the season cannot be extended, not like players are going to be involved in the Euros. In an idea...

NL Claret

3 new full backs required, cannot watch another season of Taylor towing his caravan up and down the left flank usually ending up in a cul de sac.

2 centre forwards required, no real back up for Foster this season, like the look of the lad at Cov, Simms, doubt we’d get him though.

NL Claret

Watched on TV, there were some signs of improvement but overall a disappointing performance.

Vitinho gets into good positions but no end product. Taylor was/is awful. What is Berge’s best starting position?

Fofana could have been hooked at HT

NL Claret

Possibly due to the Wolves game been so close to the red card it might not start till the Everton game. Wonder if it will be extended ban as 2nd time it has happened.

NL Claret

Liverpool v BHA in comparison to the City Arsenal game 26 fouls, 8 yellow cards, 5 for Liverpool. I think there's some bias but mostly the standard of refs is poor, and the whole organisation is arrogant and grossly incompetent. Don't forget it took a season for PL refs to go and look at a monitor

Considering the outcry when Zaroury left in January, he’s hardly pulled up any trees at a side drifting out of play off contention .

The class of 2022 must be held in the highest possible esteem, how Beyer, Benson and Anass have hardly been involved in the PL is criminal

Can't get away from it

In principle there’s nothing wrong with VAR, sadly those that operate VAR in this country are arrogant and hopeless and that’s with the “best” referees. It could be farcical in the championship. I’ll stick with non league.

NL Claret

Not played in 2024, and as you say close in January. Nothing said since other than he's progressing. I know I'm in the minority here but given his form this season I don't think he's been missed. Agree, struggled in PL and don’t think his body can stand the physicality of the PL. Would think the be...

United game yesterday, United forward offside, whistle goes, United forward (can’t remember which one) still blasts his shot into the crowd, nothing. At the start of the season that’s a yellow card, that directive and the waving imaginary cards didn’t last long. There is absolutely no consistency am...

RIP, sounded like a real character. He was a real character, hadn’t heard from him in years but my dad got a phone call off him the day before the play off final 1994, he had got a load of tickets in the Olympic Gallery with access to a bar next to the ground. I was at uni in Leicester but Geoff go...

Heard the sad news that Geoff Walker recently passed away. Geoff lived in Bury in the 70s before moving to Surrey and then retiring to Tiverton but still kept up his love affair with watching the Clarets. I think he was once part of the South West Clarets but may have banned from travelling with the...

Or they’ve got injuries in a potential title decider and need to put it off by a week or two 😉 Have you seen photos of the pitch? I think they have plans to put a 4g down in the closed season. There's a serious problem with a drain on the south stand side of the pitch. They have a backlog of fixtur...

Might have a look up on Saturday. Just had a look at fixtures couple of big games Bury playing Wythenshawe as well. Noticed on social media that Bury have stopped selling tickets for this game and the club aren’t sure if the game will go ahead. The pitch is a right mess and remedial work took place...

Considering the current squad based on age and ability (and comments made above) it looks like there needs to be another massive overhaul of players in the next transfer window.

Think they were both together at Rammy and Lancaster. I was told that when at Rammy , Fell subsidised the playing budget. Workington took Ramsbottom’s manager a few seasons back, lockdown time, my window cleaner who is the know ;) reckoned with expenses included he was on £36k. Must be a struggle fo...

Yeah no cll up for Muric. Almost as shocking as Annti Niemi not getting picked for the Scotland team that time

This crossed my mind the other day, he’s not finished, absolute class radio that was.

Because at non league level costs will increase in three different ways. First there are possible ground improvements that the club may have to make for the next level, second there are additional travel costs as the team will have to travel further distances third there will be increased player co...

Corrrect the next league is the Northern Premierleague, then National League North then National League.

You have missed out the Northern Premier League West I should say, not north as in previous post

Having had a look, are they 3 levels below the national league?

Division above the Counties is Northern PL West (Clitheroe level)

All honesty I think you could have used either/or. Alan Taylor or Steve Taylor, Alan Taylor (ex Norwich and WHU) had is fair share of detractors. Steve Taylor was fairly well liked first time around… but got plenty of stick, but not as much as when he returned for his second spell. For me, from the...
