Re: On this day
28/4 73. A final game of the season away at Preston. Anyone who was there that day doesn't need me to describe the scenes. For those that weren't we needed a point to be promoted as champions; we got it with a 1-1 draw in front of a crowd that could safely be described as very Claret. Wonderful end...

50 years ago today..... 10/4/74.....Newcastle Utd 1 Burnley 2. Goals from Dobo and Geoff Nulty gave us a fairly comfortable win at St.James Park. It came just eleven days after our defeat to them in the FA Cup semi-final at Sheffield and those two heartbreaking goals from MacDonald. But it didn't e...

Re: Onana's assault
Why would onana intentionally take out 1 of our players & risk giving away a penalty it's unlikely he was going to get away with it & he doesn't have previous form for doing it.

Re: Onana's assault
Again, it’s irrelevant what the benefit to Burnley would have been. Although playing against 10 men for 8-9 minutes may have given us a better chance of winning the game. Nobody is nit-picking, just pointing out that by the laws of the game Onana’s foul was obviously a red card offence, regardless ...
