That's where I totally disagree with you. The manager has already said it is a private and unique matter, I don't think a private matter is the business of any fan.

That's fine - we can disagree.

Jakubs Tash

Best just to let it go. The manager said it was private and unique and it should stay like that. Something far more important than Gibson today http://www.uptheclarets.com/messageboard/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=48279 It's a bit difficult to "just let it go" when we are in the situation we are with lack o...

I think the drinks break is a good idea for Project Restart given the games are being played in June and July. However, I would not want to see drinks breaks being implemented under normal circumstances. Totally stops the flow of a game and quite frankly shouldn't be required during autumn, winter a...

Surely you’re on the wind up

Just awaiting confirmation from jrgbfc so I can determine whether it is actually the year 2020 or we are still in the 1970s......

Jakubs Tash

Strong runner and very direct but not lightening quick and not very much finesse about him.

Players can bring a packed lunch, or the ladies in the tea room can make 20 odd packed lunches up instead of a buffet. That problems easily solved.

But only after they've finished the washing, cleaning and cooking at home first, right?

Wow.....

Jakubs Tash

I think it's more likely that we'll see Brownhill centrally and McNeil out wide if we play 442.

Alternatively, 451 (same shape as the Palace game) with a midfield of Pieters, Westwood, McNeil, Brownhill and Rodriguez could work.

Jakubs Tash

Good news.

Unfortunately, there is a video on Instagram of Cork's kids trying his crutches out. Might be precautionary but doesn't look too promising.

Jakubs Tash

I've been saying for a long time that we have some very good footballers here at BFC. This is a point that is missed by many supporters due to the opposition being so good most weeks. There has been talk that the technical ability of footballers is shining through due to a slight lack of fitness/sha...

Jakubs Tash

Looks a very neat footballer. Athletic too and one of those annoying nagging players who just won't let you get away (as shown in the Ayew incident). Looks promising. Well played, Josh.

Jakubs Tash

He actually misjudged the flight of the ball on 2 or 3 occasions and looked extremely rusty - which is understandable, I guess. However, he did get one brilliant block in and now is not really the time to be criticising any of our players. Well done, big Kev.

Jakubs Tash

We are very lucky to have Ben Mee as our captain. Even more impressed with the performances he has put in since the restart with his newly born daughter still in hospital. Hopefully it won't be long before mum and dad have her home.

I don't think the club can refund anything for the 20/21 season until they know when it will start and whether it will be behind closed doors etc etc. They just can't make a decision without knowing this, unfortunately.

Jakubs Tash

It's 'Obvious' that we'll be relegated? I just don't understand where you get that idea from. We are a mid to upper division established PL club that is currently having a few local difficulties due to Covid 19. (As are other clubs.) There is no reason why we can't strengthen the squad in the summe...

Jakubs Tash

And where is this altruistic investor supposed to come from? An investor is a person hoping to make a return on their investment, That eventually means taking money out of the club. At the moment, we have a board that has taken very little out of the club but put a lot of money and effort into it. ...

Jakubs Tash

I don't think anyone is asking for (or expects us to get) an investor to the extent of Man City or Chelsea but just enough money to help maintain our status with the natural growth of wages and fees. It's very important that the current Directors still play a major role in running the club but witho...

Jakubs Tash

What's the thinking with suggesting Jordan Ibe? He's only played two games this season and has mostly been injured or out of favour. Whenever I've seen him he seems more potential then delivery. He does not seem the sort of player that could replace Brady or JBG. Ibe is an interesting one. I get wh...

Jakubs Tash

Swap Gibson for Fry, jobs a good un. Whatever we need to get Gibson off the books he's stealing a wage right now. As Drinkwater also was during his brief stint at TM. Bad eggs the pair of em, and we don't want those types at BFC thank you very much, compare to Long model pro, and Vydra who patientl...

Jakubs Tash

There are bound to be some decent frees around this summer (domestically and in Europe) which might be good for potentially filling the squad out a little.

Jakubs Tash

I wouldn't put Taylor left mid. He just simply isn't a left sided midfielder. I think people automatically think he would be a better option than Pieters out there because he is quicker. Taylor is our best left back - please leave well alone. As for Thompson starting; no chance. Hopefully Jay is fit...

Jakubs Tash

I think we need two wide players (one of which can play in field). For this the one name I would love us to sign is Eme Buendia from Norwich. Quality footballer, 23, can play centrally in a 3 or wide right in a 4 and is more industrious than many think. We will obviously need another centre half to ...

Imagine someone saying they don't think we'll sign anyone and then within minutes discussing the merits of particular transfer targets and whether they'd be good signings this summer.... Perhaps commenting numerous times on every single thread on the board muddles the brain.

Jakubs Tash

No. No. No. I'm saying I think the club will keep their money in the bank. I'm not saying I think the club should keep the money in the bank. If you can't compute the difference, then I can't help you. Well yeah, I mean obviously I am nowhere near your self-appointed level of intellect....but your ...

Jakubs Tash

You're talking like it's what I think should happen. What I'm saying is I think the board will be wary and possibly keep the debit card in the wallet. Well, when you start a sentence with "I think"...... It's fairly obvious to most that they won't be splashing the cash but they will need to sign pl...

I think the shopping list will be out of the window for 12 months.

Whilst the summer window will no doubt be challenging, you can't seriously be suggesting that we can go into next season with only what we currently have at our disposal?

They never confirmed dates on Koiki’s contract but he could be one whose deal is at an end.

It's strange that Koiki wouldn't want to sign a short term deal at the very least and potentially get some Premier League experience under his belt.

Also, all goods are picked from Amazon fulfilment centres around the country. So each of your 3x items, whilst identical, may have come from 3 different warehouses due to stock levels (or lack of stock) of that item in different places.

Jakubs Tash

I'm hearing our bench is looking interesting tonight. None of the OOC players involved and of course none of the players that were out on loan allowed to be involved.

Jakubs Tash

Not sure about very interesting - possibly quite interesting if it was actually true. But let’s assume it was true - it would be even more interesting if those players agreed to play in a few pretty meaningless games before they are allowed to sign a contract with a new club in 9 days time and then...

Jakubs Tash

It's very interesting that some players have been quite happy to pick up their full wages during lockdown but are very quick to say no to that employer when they have the choice of a short term extension to help the club see the season out.

Jakubs Tash

I said it awhile ago, something is rotten in the state of Burnley. Our culture appears to be changing and we seem less and less Burnley with each passing calamity. The last 7 matches have been a pretty good watch in my opinion....... Bags of effort, great attitude, solid defensively, popping the ba...

Allardyce wouldn't go to a club that doesn't have money to spend.

Yes but last time i checked Roma, Milan & Celtic didn't play in the English leagues

This is correct but you weren't very clear that meant international teams in your original post. This is something that many people get wrong so I was just helping to give clarity.

Jakubs Tash

Correct, any player in the last 6 months of their contract can reach agreement with a new club for their next contract. It smacks of trying to see who offers the best package for Jeff & taking it to the wire, with BFC as a back up, just in case, But maybe the initial offer to him has been downgrade...

Jakubs Tash

I think this is more to do with whether the manager wanted to keep certain players and then trusting his judgement. Personally, I would've been happy to maybe extend Bardsley for a year, give Hendrick a new deal and let the others go but if the manager wants to extend the contract of other players t...

Jakubs Tash

Can't argue with any that have been mentioned already in all fairness. Westwood's late winner v Leicester at home this season is a decent shout from recent games. A game we could easily have lost but we dug in, showed real determination and the way the ball rebounded to him and he smashed it in made...

Jakubs Tash

Yes! Actually, like you, i was very late to it myslef and watched all the seasons in a 4 week period ending a couple of weeks back.

Jakubs Tash

One of my all time favourite away games because it was such a huge game for Cardiff. The welsh media were building it up to be their biggest game in 15 years I seem to remember. Big crowd, hot atmosphere and the Claret following was excellent considering the distance. We then played like Champions (...

Jakubs Tash

He wont miss out because of Covid 19, he will miss out because he isnt good enough. Jordan Pickford gets grief for mistakes that could, should or do lead to a goal every other game, where us with a claret persuasion seem to miss Ben's regular slips. It's been getting to 1 a game if late. English fo...

Yes, but Taylor made a great run, pulling their defensive line apart, and allowing a simple ball through to put him in on goal. You can’t play like Taylor does, as an attacking full back, and always be in the perfect defensive position. His attacking threat is huge. If we really are going to blame ...
