Debbie does Burnley - or should be Var does Burnley?

They don't look at the relative skills or speed of the players, that's right. But they certainly do look at the position of the ball. If the forward isn't going to reach the ball, or if he is going to reach the ball but it's by the corner flag, then it isn't (in theory if not in practice!) a goalsc...

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 defende...

I've allowed mine to auto-renew

(Despite the fact that Father Jack has used it at Turf Moor more than I have have).

Living just inside 'softie' country it costs a fortune to get to Turf Moor whilst many away days are within a cheaper drive radius.

Got myself a membership for Lower House this year. Probably won't use it a lot

I've done the same a few times recently - but haven't attended a game there in 40 years since I moved away from Rosegrove

Colne and Lowerhouse have both won the league 4 times. Colne have a better Cup record than Lowerhouse. Who is the 'shitty little club up the road' ?

Still Colne

Not doing at all badly, but I'd take Assignon and even Roberts to be ahead of him as specialised RBs

Few teams play with a 'specialised' right-back nowadays, you have to be, at the very least, half decent in the attacking portion of the game to make it at the higher levels of football.

The new rules will probably mean they can let City off the hook though 🤔 City aren't being looked at for overspending though, their charges all involve false declarations of the value of sponsorship deals and false declarations about where the sponsorship money originated.

Disappointed not to win but nice to see us finally being consistently competitive in this league, it may be too late but at least we aren't going down with a whimper as it looked like we might for long stages earlier in the year

People moaning about us being unable to compete in the Premier league then moaning about a ticket price increase by the 19th (out of 20) least expensive STs in the PL need to take a look at themselves.

Sheff United's next game is away to us, a real 6 pointer given that, should we win our 2 games in hand, we would only be 1 point behind them going into that match.

As for the prices for a burnley fc twix next season, you'll probably need a bank loan.

You can purchase cheaper Twixes elsewhere and just take them with you. I can honestly say I have never bought a Twix on Turf Moor, or any other ground tbh.

My Cricketfield Stand over 65s ticket has only increased from the current £240 to £260 next season, which is an 8.3% increase. Sounds like pretty good value to me given I will be getting 8.6% increases in my State and NHS pensions next month.

bfcmik

I recall trips to Yeovil, Bath and Swindon, Teignmouth away would have been almost like a home game! I wonder if I scored one, or missed loads

, of those goals you conceded, it was either 85/86 or 86/87 when I played for them, probably the latter.

Really was that as a professional.

I think I got about £8 for an away game and £5 for a home game. The only season in my whole career, including the walking football I play now, that I didn't have to pay to play!

bfcmik

I played for Truro City for 1 season in the 1980s then dropped down a league the following season due to the inordinate amount of travel time for fixtures in the, at that time, South Western League. Setting off for games at 8am and getting home in the late evening wasn't my idea of fun.

Good result against a side who are doing well near the top of a strong Southern Division

What you do is ensure the DD payment you would have made in April, is placed in your bank account. Then each month, a little of it will be taken for the other 11 months. If I didn't live hand to mouth every month I might be able to do that. On 2nd thoughts, I'm a spendthrift at heart, so I definite...

bfcmik

Why couldn’t the payments be split over 12 months like they currently are? I think that they are too late to set up a Direct Debit request for April because they have to give you, and your bank, at least 10 working days notice of the payment. If they decided to do 12 payments then they would be sho...

If you are using the 8.3% increase surely you take into account the 100% reduction in the April payment

Yes, but I'll have wasted that long before the May direct debit date!

bfcmik

I spoke to the club yesterday and, apparently, there will be an email at the start of next week with all the renewal details. Additionally, there will be NO direct debit payment for April, which will mean people needing to pay in 11 instalments at most, meaning at least an 8.3% increase in the month...

They have to give the same as they did with Everton's 1st charge. 10 points reduced to 6 on appeal. Everton will get 10 points for the 2nd time with no reduction on appeal.

bfcmik

I tend to agree really, the likes of Forest, Everton, Brentford and Palace really aren't that great. Every season sees 6 or 7 clubs who aren't that great. In fact it could be argued that once you take the top 6 or 7 out of the equation the rest of the division isn't that great in any particular sea...

Meant to add (cannot edit) - A single PL player transfer could quite literally fund a lower league club for years upon years, it's wrong to witness a 153-year-old club crumble because of a questionable owner. It just doesn't sit right with me - surely changes are needed? That is business though. Th...

Trafford close to making his usual gaff there I see…

Good to see your support for a Burnley player!

Whether you, I, or any other fan like it or not, he is going to be our #1 keeper for the next few years. Why not get behind him instead of scapegoating him at every opportunity.

I believe that socks are now designated in the rules of both the PL and EFL (at least in the Championship) as having to be a single colour with, at most, a 12mm band set at the bottom of the 'turnover' at the top of the sock (no idea what that part is really called).

Looking at his CV the sums involved seem very large for someone who was a divisional Director of an investment bank prior to coming to the club, particularly, the £68 million to the former owners.

Didn't he own, or Chair, the Salt Lake City MLS team before coming over here?

bfcmik

And even when we do equalise it is ruled out for a marginal free-kick call instead of the usual 'Let's see what VAR say' attitude from the ref. Then there is a penalty shout after, to be fair, minimal contact, that isn't given despite similar contact being seen as enough to chalk off Cullen's goal.

Read this week that Tresor has been ill, not injured.

If he has had the respiratory virus that is rife, certainly here in the midlands, which I an just recovering from, then it could be 4 or 5 weeks before he recovers. It is a NASTY one.

Sorry my bad. Definitely shouldn't make jokes about our plight or that some refs in this league have an agenda.

Don't see us causing Arsenal much of a problem. That's the spirit. We could have come away from Anfield last Saturday with a point if Fofana or Odebert had taken their opportunities! Even in football Arsenal's win at West Ham comes with the "Past performance does not guarantee future success" warning

Strange how the 'impartial' media rate Trafford as either our best or 2nd best player today. For the 1st goal he was blocked out of it by O'Shea, if he hadn't come he would have been just as roundly criticised on here. Just watched the Sky highlights video and they don't blame Trafford at all. Wasn'...
