I won't forgive or forget what he did either Tony but I meant that the club had moved on, and he is an irrelevance now.

KeighleyClaret

I admire your consistency Tony, but haven't we moved a million miles on from Coyle? I suspect many of the problems down the road would have occurred whoever had managed them.

Good summary though, and an enjoyable read!

Fair do's Saxo. For what its worth I reckon it won't make a lot of difference who is manager, the main issue has been the strength of the squad this season. I'm not sure Judas could have done much better with what he had. As for replacement - I'm not sure who would be mad or desperate enough, but un...

We didn't have road signs in Km post membership of the EEC because they never insisted on it the UK wanted to keep miles. It was never an EU issue.

When I was at school back in the 1960's and early 1970's, we were taught in SI units (Kilometres, Kilograms etc) on the basis that these were both Standard and International (SI units). We were not even in the EU then. Only the USA in the whole world uses Miles on roadsigns, apart from us. Every per...

He's actually a decent player at that level as can be seen by Lincoln's success this year.

Be careful slagging these guys off, they will probably bring a lot more to Turf Moor than Sunderland did in Round 3.

I'm nearer CT's age than yours, John, but would completely echo what you are saying. It is if anything even more special having endured the dire years between 1976 and the Orient game in 1987. When I was at School, Burnley had been a top league side since 1946 and had achieved everything apart from ...

KeighleyClaret

Maybe not but he was still way below his expected level. Most footballers have to start out or play in a position to suit the team rather than the player. Maybe he doesn't stand out as much with a side in possession as he does in a team like ours? Didn't exactly have a lot of games to show Rangers ...

Very clever stuff by Labour. Put up a controversial candidate in a place they think they might lose, then publicise some rather stupid comments made by said candidate, so that when you lose you can blame the candidate rather than the party. Unfortunately UKIP have blown it by putting up an even more...

KeighleyClaret

The main problem yesterday was that he really didn't expect the pass from Barnes to reach him, and in fairness it shouldn't have. It was only a poor bit of defending that allowed it through and he then snatched at the chance a bit.

KeighleyClaret

He has been absolutely outstanding in the last few games, so much so that he keeps a top class player like Sam Vokes out of the starting eleven.

Just needs a few more goals against his name, hopefully in the next 4 away games.

KeighleyClaret

Done.

But stature in the game doesn't win trophies, generally. Just ask a Leeds United fan (!)

Its important to keep the faith even if the results in the next 5 games don't work out for us. This was always going to be a very tough stretch with 4 away and Chelsea at home, and the 'easy' away games are not looking so easy now. The important thing is to remain confident and back the team, to avo...

4 month ban would be OK as long as it starts on 14th May. He would get a nice long preseason then.

Unless we are in the Cup Final of course.

Heaton - 7 - should have held onto the shot he spilled but looked confident as usual Lowton - 7 - did nothing wrong, a huge improvement from the Cup fullback! Keane - 8 - an absolute Rolls Royce of a player, cannot believe he plays for us Mee - 7 - at the heart of everything in defence but should ha...

To get back to the subject of the thread - I thought they were brilliant.

Someone was flying a drone yesterday before the match - outside the club shop and above the program seller. The CAA drone code insists that flights must be at least 50m from people or property- thus was clearly breached and in full view of Police and Club officials. A drone diving into a crowd is ca...

Reasonably certain its an anterior cruciate injury.

About 16 years ago we travelled into the USA from Canada overland via Rooseville Montana.

The problem is not securing the physical boundary - its preventing people getting through official border posts.

Same story as Sky that offer accepted

Yes you are right to correct me, I was just reflecting what ITV were saying. There is many a slip, but at least we are top of the queue. Its a done deal when there is something on the Club Website - which at present there isn't.

Depends where the fracture is and how well it heals. No reason for it to end his career IMHO.

Simply not true, sorry. Even if its an ACL tear in the same knee a second repair should only be 6-9 months (only!) and no reason why he cannot come back from it.

No blip. Went for the ball as he should have. The Arsenal player did get ahead of him but only by starting in an offside position.

Anyone who thinks Mee should not be the 3rd name on the team sheet (after Keane and Heaton) is an absolute moron.

KeighleyClaret

Reading between the lines I suspect that he had a depressed skull fracture, the same injury suffered by Petr Cech while playing for Chelsea. Cech was hit in the head by the knee of Stephen Hunt of Reading, who then went on to play for Hull City. A strange set of connections. In a displaced fracture ...

Keep playing like that and we will be OK.

As long as
1) We stay up and
2) Arsenal don't win the title
I think I'll be able to get over it.

2 points we should have had, and 4 points they shouldn't, could make a difference to both, but hopefully not.

Don't need video review, just decent officials. If your view is good enough to see the foul, it should be good enough to spot the offside beforehand. No excuse.

We have exactly the same system, with the same distinctions between Civil and Criminal, in England and Wales.

They have not been found guilty - this was a civil rather than a criminal case. In the criminal court the standard for a guilty verdict is 'beyond reasonable doubt' while in civil matters the court makes a finding on the 'balance of probabilities' i.e. the civil court needs to be only 51% sure rathe...
