I'd have liked it if Dyche had been able to stay (meaning perhaps that our new board could have recognised the short comings because of the lack of investment) and then given the resources that VK has had to improve the team. It would have been interesting to see what he really could have done with...

I'm not a massive golf fan but must have started watching it in a difficult year for the players. And got sucked in by the commentators nonsense about the course being the toughest about. That they put the flags in the most difficult places if the players have decent rounds. In recent years they've...

Seemed a little bit too easy for the players this year. This stood out as the best tournament for how tough it was, but I'm not sure it gripped me this year. Maybe the players have played it so much, they can easily avoid the hazards? This year -11 won and only 8 people came in under par compared t...

Once Champions League gets to the last 8 there's no better football competition on this planet. Two brilliant games tonight both set up brilliant for the return leg. Makes Everton v Burnley look like a boring lower league game

I'd like to see one home game and one away game played abroad each season. Football has come on leaps and bounds over the last 30 years but we can't stand still and need to keep innovating and expanding the brand. This idea would be a good start and would love to see competitive Premier League footb...

Would you prefer either

a) Burnley to win the Championship next year and have another Premier League season with Kompany in charge

or

b) Burnley to come 7th-10th next season but have Kompany replaced by Christmas 2024 and have a new manager in place to try and take us up and keep us up

I heard from someone inside the club that this contract clause rumour is true but that it wasn't Trafford or his agent who requested it. Apparently JJ Watt insisted that Trafford has to be selected for 75% of Burnley's PL fixtures as he wanted to put him in his fantasy football team and needed to be...

how is Burnley Vs Bacup even a thing?

It goes back to the 80's marble craze when Burnley and Bacup were massive rivals. I think a few Bacup boys jumped Burnley's top lad and pinched his prize dobber.

Devils_Advocate

Yeah, right. That'll be because var don't pick up Liverpool dives and cheating in the first place. The chart would only be any use if it also showed things that var should have addressed and didn't. Pre-var, the big clubs only had one go at getting a fix - via the ref's on field decision. Now we ha...

I saw some kind of article/analysis last week which had a league table of bad VAR decision that had gone against and for Premier League Clubs. We was about 14th with a few more going against us than for us and surprisingly some of the bigger clubs like Liverpool and Newcastle were below us. Think to...

How could they find out you have a Coinbase account? For the record, I know that the transactions are not stored on your phone, I know that the institution in question will give you all the details when asked, what I don't know is how the executor knows who to contact if there isn't a paper trail. ...

Devils_Advocate

Actually, the reason I asked what happens when someone dies when they don't have a paper trail, their phone is unbreakable, and no-one knows where their money was kept, was because I do not realise what happens. Are you saying that a professional executor would be able to find a list of all my inve...

Devils_Advocate

That's what I thought people did. But if the executors or next of kin just have to watch the letterbox for a month to get the next paper statement, then it's an awful lot easier than unlocking a phone. Whats the phone got to do with it? Nothing is stored on the phone and the next of kin dont have t...

I didn't realise internet banks still sent out paper statements. I know credit card companies don't if you let them get away with it.

Yes they do but most people would use a digital bank statement via their online banking account

Devils_Advocate

Anyway, another question on the same subject (if asking these questions doesn't upset you any more.) What happens when someone dies? They don't have a paper trail, their phone is unbreakable, and I dare say no-one knows where their money was kept. Genuine question. The money is in your bank account...

I was speculating that there may be sophisticated methods of internet fraud. If there is it has nothing to do with google pay and fingerprint recognition.

Once they have your fingerprint, would they be able to use it with Google pay on a different phone? Long experience has taught me never to believe in foolproof software.

No, you can't just scan someones fingerprint on a random device and link to some remote bank account via google pay.

But once your security system is compromised, can the same system with the same entry method, ever be called secure?

It would be too obvious if they did a terror attack on one of the 8 largest US ports. Attacking the 9th largest port is exactly what a terrorist group would do if they wanted to try and make it look like an accident. https://pyxis.nymag.com/v1/imgs/d6a/dc7/4a5001b7beea096457f480c8808572428b-09-roll-...

Steal a phone, and if it has a good fingerprint anywhere on the case, you're in. Nonsense, biometric data like anything can be hacked but the idea that anyone who robs a phone has the capability to use a fingerprint on the case to get into it is rubbish. No doubt its possible but it will very much ...

Has anyone noticed a difference with this? Previously I just had to unlock my phone and tap it to pay, but now when I do that, the payment fails and I have to use my fingerprint in Google wallet before tapping again. It's a right faff at the checkout and has completely wiped out the convenience of ...

My post refers to the club website. I know but they did the international report a few days ago so a short update like this is unlikely to get a new news article on the website.

If so, that takes the biscuit!

Im pleased for Trafford but it adds to my worry that we will lose him to a Premier League team if we go down. I accept we're only likely to hang on to a talent like Trafford for two or three seasons but it would be a massive blow to lose him so quickly and before we see the best of him.

Devils_Advocate

Its got to be England every time for me. Maybe if it was a choice between Burnley going out of the football League like we nearly did in 1990 or England not qualifying for the Euros or World Cup then in that scenario maybe Burnley would just edge it.

Regardless of the rights or wrongs of it all I think the Premier League is better for having Everton in it.
