The home game was postponed over a dozen times before it was finally played and ended in a draw. Fletcher, Ingham and Kindon scored the goals in the replay. Two days later we lost 3-0 at Liverpool in the next round.

And I was sure it was James, Morley and Kindon.

Here's an indicator of how the importance of the FA Cup has waned over the years. 21 February 1979 Round 4 Burnley 1-1 Sunderland 20,852 26 February 1979 Replay Sunderland 0-3 Burnley 37,507 Both teams were in Division 2. In the final league game of that season at the Turf against Millwall the atte...

Would he want to come?

RIP. Very good bowler. Back when cricket was great.

Joe's first game in charge was at Norwich - Willie Morgan was never selected by Joe, Mick Docherty didn't play again after the Norwich game and later in the season he stopped him from selecting Doug Collins and Colin Waldron. All were Adamson sympathisers. I see. I knew Morgan fell out with Lord. W...

It was worse than Brian Laws’ record until that run of four without defeat. We played 18, won 3, drew 1, lost 14 with Laws although we’d only picked up 5 points from the 9 games before he took over too. Joe was thrown into it with Lord telling him he couldn’t use some of the players. Always on a lo...

I should have added: since 1947-48.

I questioned whether Kompany's record is the worst top-flight one of any Burnley manager, referring to Joe Brown's second half of the season performance in 1975-76. So I thought I'd check his record out. Brown was manager for the last 18 games: won 5, drew 3, lost 10. So 13 points at two for a win. ...

Quicknick

Not only played, but was a major part of our survival, scoring in the 2-1 win against Southend and a crucial 90th min penalty to equalise against Torquay. Without those additional 3 points, we would have been down before the last game of the season. He brought some much needed experience to the wor...

Quicknick

One of the best players I have seen in a Burnley shirt. And I thought it was fitting that he played for us in our darkest season, as well.

Quicknick

I hope Leeds trash them, then lose the rest of their matches. Along with Blackburn, of course.

Reminds me of a right sided Maatsen from those clips. Let's hope he is half as good

Let's hope he's a better defender than Maatsen.

Quicknick

I'll be amazed if it happens again.

Quicknick

If Talk Sport really did say “he couldn’t wait to get away” then that is total bllx. Big difference between wanting to get away and not being willing to come back. In all honesty I think he’s a great player but not the best defensively and not what we needed in a relegation scrap. Yes. I was glad w...

One of my friends called in at the ticket office yesterday to enquire about getting a season ticket for his grandson and was told to put his name on the waiting list and was told that there are about 2500 on the list

That's encouraging. Maybe, hopefully, I'll be proved wrong.

I think this team and management could struggle next season in championship.

I think we'll probably only be midtable.

Renewed our two Why wouldn't you its in the blood

Season ticket sales generally decline after a relegation. Last season must have been the only time they didn't. 15,000 crowds next season?

when i played the game once you waited for your chance it was up to you to keep the shirt, i personality think Vincent hasn't been loyal to a lot of the team that got us promoted and what they must have felt when they so the first game of the season and then on match day saw a bunch of kids in the ...

No chance of Burnley v Blackburn in the playoff final next year. We'll be midtable, they'll go down.

Quicknick

Off the top of my head the closest was Swansea v Cardiff in 2011 but Cardiff lost the play off semi final to Reading. We did have Stockport v Rochdale in the 2008 League Two play off Final and a couple of Yorkshire derbies but not a game between two arch rivals. Closest was probably Brentford v Ful...

I think we'll come top next season... of the bottom half of the Championship.

Quicknick

RIP, Joe.

Quicknick

The worst top-flight manager we've had? Joe Brown wasn't too good, mind, for those who remember the '70s.

Quicknick

Half a century too much.

Quicknick

We are inept at it. I hope it's a passing pad. They even try to do it in the Northern Premier League.

RL: great sport. Bulls!

Probably, but it’s the one game I’ve really wanted to win this season after losing the other two against them

You didn't want to win the other games this season?

Just relegate them. Us to come above SU and LT then.

To be fair the average age of our posters is probably around 65-75, so it's not entirely surprising that they haven't gotten to grasp the changing times. And what's more, they still use the British past participle of 'to get'. Although its use in the US form is cumbersome in this sentence. 'They ha...

When Chris Wood signed on loan for Forest his permanent deal was triggered after he made 3 appearances, so it can happen. I imagine it's an FFP thing. Fingers crossed it's not the case with Tresor, though.

Wood has done well for them. Our best striker of the EPL era.

Odobert, Koleosho, Berge and Foster will be the ones recieving the most attention and any bids will need to be considered. That's the model. Never been convinced Benson and Zaroury will be with us next season, regardless of division. Just can't see Benson especially wanting another season in the Ch...

I’ve been impressed with Sinclair Armstrong on the odd occasion I’ve seen him. Definitely raw, but aggressive, strong and quick.

I wouldn’t be surprised if one of he more ambitious Championship clubs take a punt on him before long.

Three goals in 50 games for QPR.

Agreed. And wouldn't it p1ss them off!

At a glance, I thought this was a thread about Danny Whitaker, but this Whittaker has a double 't'. For those who don't know, Danny Whitaker is manager of Bradford Park Avenue. It looks like the mighty BPA are going down for the second season running.

They'd struggle to keep any sort of side together with that squad. It would need a complete rebuild, of Kompanyesque stature.
Most of them are getting on, and would want to stay in the Prem.

Which EPL team would want them?

It was the first home game I had missed all season and as a 12 year old my brother and I had been packed off to grandmother's in Poulton-le-Fylde. We caught the result on radio (she had no TV!) and were thrilled we had won due to Fletcher's first goal. The next day grandma took us to Stanley Park f...

Great days in the Longside, back then.

Lovely and unrestrained. No one taking photos of any 'misdoing' and reporting it.

Thanks for these reports, Tony.

Fair enough. It was a well-put-together piece.

Quicknick

It was his only goal of the season and I don't think he netted again until September of 71/2 when we battered Orient. So I was right. It was his first. Rather a good goal. I recalled it as being mishit somewhat. It sparked a fair old celebration on the Longside. POWER TO THE CLARETS! as Burnley fan...

I believe this was Paul Fletcher's first goal for Burnley. I was at the match. We all thought this win was significant. We both went down.

Foster and Fofana together for the rest of the season and we have an outside chance of staying up.
