Two more wins and Muric will have more points than Trafford this season, they are currently on 14 and 9. Games played are 28 and 6. You're forgetting that Muric got wins in the League Cup against Forest and Salford. He already has more wins than Trafford. You can't (in fact, you don't) take onto ac...

Without even mentioning the Brighton and Brentford games, just on Saturday at sheff utd we'd have been 2 down in the first 10 minutes with Trafford in the nets, but to stress further muric is light year's ahead of Trafford imo, I know it's been done to death on the subject but fact imo. It was just...

He’d have conceded two going off his previous form. Our points per game prove the point that Muric should never have been dropped in the first place. I can see past two mistakes. Just out of interest, how many points do you think we would have got from the last 6 games if Trafford had been playing?...

I don't think this is much of an obstacle at all, just think it'd really improve the spectacle and make it more football focused, less about the athleticism. Why is it not an obstacle? I would have thought that having to erect the goalposts before every game would be a definite obstacle. Unless the...

2,068 is a great turnout - and is more than what some League 2 sides get at home! I used to be a bit of a bellend with all this and still hold some opinions (pitch/goals should be smaller etc) but at the end of the day, if a team is representing Burnley - man, woman, child, dog, intergalactic space...

None of those 3 incidents are penalties. I agree. Gary Neville (if it was him, I think I recognised the voice) said the first should have been a penalty because there was contact, the second should have been a penalty because he moved his arm towards the ball after it was kicked from half a yard aw...

Wasn’t aimed at you but posters like those you quoted. Your rationale was fine that folk are seemingly upset at VAR for correctly giving an offside but make no comment around VAR failing to overturn a handball penalty, where the player has his arm behind his back.

Rowls I have had the same problem with beans as you appear to have. First is this with large or small cans? I have little experience of small cans but it's certainly a problem with large ones.

After today we will finish above Sheffield United and may well finish above Forest if we beat them on the final day of the season. Luton also seem to be at the start of a bad spell. Watch this space !! We're 3 behind Forest and our goal difference is worse. So we need more points from our next 3 ga...

Thanks for all the advice (apart perhaps from the one about a Penthouse suite in Mayfair, which I really don't understand ;-)). I am inclined towards plastic because it requires zero maintenance and should last for a few years at least. I'll think about Ed's Sheds but if they want painting and level...

We need a new garden shed and know nowt about it. Anyone got any advice? Where to get them from, wood or plastic, who would do delivery and erection, how long do they last, anything else I need to know? Thanks in advance to anyone who can help.

Quite apart from anything else, the new format for the Champions League means that there will be a 36-team division, playing 8 games each, with 24 qualifying for the knockout stages. That's 144 games to eliminate 12 teams. Nearly all those games will be meaningless - UEFA are getting excited that Ba...

Might as well be in league 2 like Accy Stanley. I’m sure some fans would be happy to be in league two again with 7000 gates.

Gone from next season in all rounds from the first round. Final will be played on the penultimate Saturday of the Premier League season with no PL games to be played on the Friday or Saturday to give the final exclusivity.

Could you perhaps explain to me why you had to refer to them as Americans and not just “businessmen”. Does nationality have something to do with your post? If not, don’t use it.

I think he has a different idea of what would find incredible :lol: Maybe naive reading anything in to that, but it has played a role in my assuming there’s more to the structure and financial side of things that we know.

My point is that I think if you looked across the 92, or maybe more the top leagues of European football I think there’s very few clubs not owned by ‘investors’ hoping to profit from their investment at some stage. I don’t think that has changed from our previous owners to new. All that’s changed i...

There’s very few of those, I would say. Tony Bloom? The Venkys? Maybe the Coates’? Saudi Arabia and Qatar, to add a couple more. Whoever it is that owns Bournemouth, too.

It is a lot more the normal schedule in the EFL, however, with 46 games to fit in.......

Good news. Watching a match is far better than watching a training session. Let them play! Even if they do find it's a bit like work!

It isn't the normal schedule, no. Sometimes you will get cup games midweek, often at KO times like 3pm or 4pm which can be a pain, but normally its just 5pm Wednesday 1 or 2 times a season. Not the normal schedule here, either. How many have we had this season - 6 including League Cup? If Czech tea...

As a defender (of not a very high standard) myself, I always remember having it drummed into me, “if you need to pass it back to the keeper, don’t put it on target”. All about the show now…. I dare say you weren't playing on a bowling green with a supposedly PL standard goalkeeper. The whole raison...

dsr

True. I’m not sure how this differs from our previous investors who also wanted to, and did, benefit from massive profits. It doesn't. Garlick took tens of millions of pounds out of the club, and the new people have done the same, and in both cases it isn't doing the club any good. These owners are...

ALK and VSP isn't about "billionaires," New. It's about Burnley giving a lot of wealthy millionaires the opportunity to have a share in ownership of Burnley football club.

Peter "Simply" Devine, ex Burnley, for Lancaster. He even managed to injure himself in the process - it's hard to imagine a penalty that could go more wrong.

I think Pope is England’s best keeper. I just don’t think he is suited to our style. It would make us pedestrian at the back. Would improve us with box dominance though, without doubt. My point being, I’m not convinced we can afford to castigate Muric, who changes so much of our play for the better...

Apologies messed the link up. Not sure how to do it as a link but see below. I actually think we are overreacting to it because of last week's.

I'm sorry but the howler yesterday can happen to all keepers. However awful it was, it doesn't make him a bad goalkeeper. But it doesn't.

Even more excuses for Trafford, that’s like saying Trafford lost to a Bournemouth team who hadn’t won in 9, a miss firing West Ham team, draw to a Fulham team missing 3 players at AFCON and Wilson, William and Jimenez.

Brighton fans based their prejudice on two factors.

The DOGSO rule isn't about whether the player would score, it looks at the number of defenders between the incident and a direct path to goal, if it is just the keeper then it is a DOGSO and thus worthy of a straight red. It doesn't matter that the keeper would reach the ball 1st, or another defend...

To your contingency question, I imagine there’s a number of them: - I still think there is money at ‘group’ level somewhere up the chain, given the £88m/£80m deposits in September.

Colne beat Padiham 3-2. 10 goals scored in 2 days. Not something you see often.

They have extended the season, so the rest of the fixtures are a doddle. Two more this week (Friday, Saturday) then Tuesday-Thursday-Saturday next week, and same again the week after. Plus, of course, a Cup Final!!!

Bad news for Second Teamers.

They never have rearranged second XI fixtures, even in the days when replays of 1st XI fixtures happened regularly. (There is usually space in the 3rd XI if they want extra games!)

There'll be no problem rearranging the second division fixtures. They have plenty of spare dates. The first division have more of a problem because of clashes with the Lancashire Cup. Possibly their best option might be to play on a couple of Bank Holiday Mondays, which are normally reserved for 3rd...
