Re: 60 years ago today

I got a ticket but had no one to take me. I was 12. I think it cost 5 bob and I managed to sell it for a pound. Watched the game on the tele.

Re: RIP Barry Cryer

Met him in a pub in the West End London a few years ago. Just joined in when a few of us we were having a few beers and cracking some jokes. His jokes were much better than ours. Interesting and v likeable man. RIP Barry.

Re: REPORT: A horrible afternoon at Elland Road

Spot on report. Probably one of our worst performances of the season so far given as you say, Leeds were by no means exceptional. Cornet’s free kick was outstanding though.

Re: REPORT: More Boxing Day blues against Everton

At the risk of being accused of sycophancy, can I thank you for all the match reports you produce. As I am now rather old and flacky and it is highly unlikely I will get to Turf Moor again given I live south of London, I thoroughly enjoy your reports. So all the best for the New Year and keep on pro...

If you are in a car, go east on the A27 towards Lewes from the ground and turn off at the first large roundabout for the village of Kingston where there is a pub called the Juggs which serves a great pint of Harvey’s Sussex bitter. I think it’s the third exit on that roundabout. That is if you like ...

Re: Not born in Burnley never lived in Burnley but still a Claret?

Born in Kirby Lonsdale but moved to and brought up on a farm in Roughlee in the late fifties and early sixties. Was first taken to Turf Moor during the 59/60 season to an evening game which I think was against Blackburn Rovers, in the back of a Land Rover. I think we won but not sure, and could neve...

Just logged on and don't normally post but it is so inspiring what you and your family have achieved. I know from friends how difficult it can be to take on and inspire adopted children. As others have said, a great story and how justifiably proud you all must be.

Re: Mighty Clarets versus London Bubbles

We need to ensure that Tarkowski and Long are not our first choice central defenders next season. However great season. Shame we didn't get a point today. West Ham looked quite good despite all their injuries. Probably kept Bilic in his job for next season.

Karanka would have had a nervous breakdown had he still been manager, and just might have criticised our use of the long ball. Shame he's gone - Agnew sounds normal but won't be in the job long
