Perhaps better only to reply to ones that you’re happy to give a reasonable response to?

The crayon analogy and others are only going to incite more bickering, which I think we all agree, the board is better for not having.

so why you keep commenting on anything to do with the takeover and football finances is beyond my comprehension. FFS you make it hard to be civil at times! It’s comments like this that really wind me up. Why the hell should a long-standing supporter of Burnley not take an interest in the takeover o...

Started talking about cars on another thread and thought it deserved one of its own. Anything to do with cars or motorbikes for that matter. I'll start with my dream car which is a Lamborghini Urus. https://autodesignmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/2017120401_lamborghini_urus.jpg I’m not ma...

We’ve bought flights for a pre-planned holiday in September. We’d held off until the announcement - time will tell if buying them quickly after the announcement was a good idea or not.

We’ll probably book a few UK trips and maybe a Euro city break but can’t see us planning much else this year.

I've spoken to quite a few burnley supporters recently, who don't read this board, and they've no great knowledge of the takeover details, and don't really want to know, they are more interested in the next game, or avoiding relegation. If you took away the 20 or so posters who debate it all day ev...

By that logic there are very few supporters in the top 2 flights of English football... I’m not sure I’d say the top two divisions but certainly in the Premier League and more so the biggest of the PL clubs. You’re right in your comparison of football with other businesses from a financial perspect...

DCWat

Majority of football fans in the PL and quite possibly the championship don't really care about how their clubs are financed, who owns what etc or what level of debt there is. The information is available to see every year but I've had numerous chats with fans of other clubs and they're genuinely c...

Medical was all done, contract agreed etc. A lot of clubs go through these issues, not unique to us but the club did try to get someone else in and no one could've forseen Marney doing his knee. They couldn’t but it was plainly obvious that we needed cover, in arguably the most important area of th...

He’s pretty poor on the One Show, whenever I’ve seen him presenting. He appears to have memorised his set of questions and still asks them, even when the interviewee covered the exact same thing in a previous response.

On MOTD though, I think he’d half decent and comes across as a decent bloke.

we didn't deserve anything from today, it is as simple as that.

That’s very different to saying that you’d be happy for WBA to have won.

The football was that bad I would have been happy for WBA to go home with all 3 pts.

Not sure how Pace expects any neutral to get behind us when we stink out the Prem as badly as that.

Not sure how anyone expects Pace to have brought about these changes in a fifty one days.

To be fair to Dyche here: There was sod all he could do to affect the game from the bench - further evidence of just how poor it was to not recruit in January. The ‘performances’ from far too many were simply way, way below what should be the minimum standard. I’m not saying that Dyche is blameless ...

DCWat

Quite frankly, that was unacceptable!

This is bloody dire!

Properly lethargic display - passing is atrocious! We look like a team that was out on a session last night!

It’s rare as hens teeth for fans of other clubs to all like the manager of other clubs. I’ve not heard one person have a bad word to say about Sir Bobby Robson. Everything you hear said by others, every time you saw him interviewed or simply as a pundit, he just came across as a lovely man and a gen...

like I posted earlier those kind of grudges are long held in this area, never forgotten and rarely forgiven and often passed down the generations. I have seen it occur far too often. What do you mean when you say ‘this area’? Are you referring to Burnley, Lancashire, the North West, the North? Wher...

It is quite probably that these people who you think are being a tad petty have been putting money into the club for a few decades, when they were desperately needed. I remember in the late nineties small one band businesses being phoned up in the days before a Saturday game by the club desperately...

Surely most people, in a position to advertise at the club, will have enough nouse to appreciate that the club may be able to earn bigger revenues from elsewhere. They themselves are business people, accustomed to doing what is right for their business. Assuming it’s been done in the right way (if i...

7’s all around, barring:

Taylor 6 - not at his best, a bit rusty
McNeill 6 - not at his best
Brady 4 - should have been sent off and what was he doing for their goal!?

Minimum requirement achieved, on to WBA.

Stay on your bloody feet Barnes!!!!

We seem to have lost our balance since the changes for them and us. Midfield isn’t performing as well!!

Brady had so much time there

I’m only surprised he headed it. For the rest of his time on the pitch, he’s been playing like someone has shat on the ball!

What the **** is Brady playing at!? He’s been a bloody liability since coming on!

Lovely play from Jay!!

Woeful defending!

Every right to go for that.

So that article could have been lifted from this and the small shareholders thread.... That’s a very good point about local advertisers and the people that will likely be one of the target markets for corporate. It’s a difficult balancing act for Pace and his team. He obviously needs to bring more ...

If out shopping on a Saturday, there always used to be a crowd of blokes outside a Rumbelows window to watch the half time or full time results.

It’s a terrible programme. It was always going to get good viewing numbers, on the back of the bizarre lift footage that did the rounds, at the time. Typical strung out, sensationalist documentary - built up throughout to continue the narrative that went with the lift footage. It could only ever end...

They made CWR remove the words 'the perfect erection' from their long standing advertising board.

Thinking back to when we were in the lower leagues, there was perhaps a higher level of expectation on young loan players from top division clubs, than perhaps there should have been. He’s gone to a small club that’s not been in the league for fifty years. I’d bet that a lot of their fans, especiall...

Less consistent than Man United and for a shorter period of time, but I’d have paid to watch the great Arsenal teams under Wenger, before I’d have put my hand in my pocket to pay to watch the Man United teams. The modern game, with overlapping full backs has its place and is proving to be effective....

I wonder if Pickford’s amazing distribution has contributed to a swing of 8.8 goals for Everton.

Perhaps unfair to arrive at such a conclusion after one very good display or so, albeit against a very poor side. We hardly need to be dusting off the record books to look back at performances that were being strongly criticised. Wood has been off form, Barnes has been off form, Jay has been off for...

It hurts when we get beat and don't perform well. I used to liken it to falling out with a partner, you might say some things you don't really mean in anger, and even storm out vowing never to see them again. But the anger subsides and all is forgiven a week later and you're loves young dream again...

It would make for an extremely dull message board if we all had exactly the same opinion on everything, which is what some people seem to be in favour of? I disagree with you on that jrgbfc.

Haven't looked, but wondered if Nick Pope will be in Crooks team of the week, for an outstanding display in keeping us in the game. And maybe Lowton too, for scoring the killer 3rd, against the run of play, to secure an unlikely Burnsley away victory? Burnley were lucky to get any points from the g...

When it was growing a century ago, the men blocked it... The men's side owe it a leg up quite frankly.

They've been gradually improving...

Much praise for Roy.
Wonder if the same would apply if Palace had won?

If he’d offered honest, respectful and generous comments, then yes.

Remind me of the major trophies he’s won in his outstanding career? Do you have to win trophies to have an outstanding career? There have been plenty of great players with sod all in the trophy cabinet, it doesn’t mean that they didn’t have outstanding careers. I’d afford managers the same consider...

Meh, its extremely rare for me to use violence, I prefer intimidating people, but calling someone a Nazi in an argument with nothing to support that claim is pretty low in my book and deserves a slap.

I've seen what Nazis have done, at Auschwitz.
