I had the pleasure of being in Ian's company early 2000s on a night out in Burnley. Really great bloke and a very entertaining character. I was grateful to be able to buy him a drink as a token of thanks for what he did for our club back in 1987. We owe him a debt that can never be repaid. When it m...

At the time in the ground I thought there was a 'maybe' for a potential foul on Al-Dakhil, if that's the same one you're thinking of? It looked like a push. Having seen it back on Twitter he did get two hands on him but went down a bit soft, to say the least. I have seen them given though (usually ...

For authenticity, each chant should be sung at a faster pace than the last one until you reach such a pace the words are virtually unintelligible.

Hi Herts, This is really disappointing to read and I can only apologise you had to witness such behaviour. I take pride in running a respectable and safe pub, and it is a constant battle to upkeep a high standard but we try our best. We had a doorman let us down yesterday which left our security st...

Not related to the Dyche but part of my evening. After the game my brother and I walked across to the bus station to get a taxi back to Neldon. 2 young lads walked in the taxi office wearing City shirts. Some said taxi to Manchester? No replied the lad, taxi to London. I wasn't sure he was being ser...

No problem. One other thing that really opened my eyes in there, particularly during the game was the amount of drug taking going on. A constant smell of cannabis and people openly smoking it. Young lads, one who we spoke to was 17 years old, sniffing Cocaine in the toilets. Then stood in the garden...

That lasted a long time then! Correct it is ex Boro and Swindon striker Jan Aage Fjortoft.

I was in the Dyche pre-match, and during the game due to not having a ticket. We were treated to 3 ex Premier League players visiting on media duties (plus Ash Hoskin for a pint!). 2 will be instantly recognised but can you name the third former player?

Herts Clarets

Is that the same John Sitton who is seen ranting in YouTube videos? One and the same. It was a dreadful foul and got a straight red in the first couple of minutes back in an era when GBH usually attracted a finger wagging from the ref. I had a bit of an exchange with Sitton on Twitter a few years b...

Played cricket against Vince up Towneley, he played for Hapton Inn. One game there was trouble on the adjoining pitch, young Asian lad threatening the umpire Jack Green. Players came off the pitch and Jack sat on the tailgate of a parked car next to Vince. I don't think anyone will bother you know J...

So that's losing their first choice keeper to Luton for 2.5m, Phillips to Spurs for 2m not the 10 they were expecting and now an expected 4.5m for Reya down the pan

Oh dear. How sad. Never mind......

It would have been the Derby in Nelson, straight across from Oddies bakery and i would have just turned 16.

Watford actually made only one change from the team that had beaten QPR 4-0 last Saturday, and that was the goalkeeper. QPR must be a really poor side then as Watford didn't look a side that was 2 divisions above Stevenage last season. They had a couple of decent chances towards the end, one on the...

On the subject of Carabou Cup games, i was at Stevenage V Watford last night. Not the best of games, Stevenage keeper made a couple of good saves towards the end in a game that was decided on penalties. Watford were not very impressive against a side who were in League 2 last season, though i don't ...

Great news. We are in a way going back to the golden age of Burnley FC, with young talent being developed at the club and hopefully sold on for a profit to be replaced by more young talent. Admittedly it is not coming via the youth set up, but if we have a scouting network who can turn up the like o...

my biggest memory of Kevin Hird - I was mascot against Orient in 1985 and he missed a penalty !! I still blame myself I think Wayne Biggins scored for us that day

Was that the game where the thug John Sitton broke Ash Hoskin's leg in the first minutes of the game?

Their playing budget has been reduced. Due to 15m losses every year. Letting their 2 best players walk away for free. India raising taxes from 5% to 20% for exported money. Brentford keeper not being sold, where they were expecting 10m from their clause. Their manager has been trying to get another...

Really enjoyed all of these so far. Feel like it’s a podcast for the, without trying to sound too snobbish, the more articulate and intelligent Burnley fan. The other ones out there I’ve tried but the chat is so amateurish, this one feels like a podcast by people who actually understand football. A...

2 goals that stand out in my memory - the aforementioned header against Wolves at the Turf and a header away at Coventry when we won 2-0, the same game as the indirect free kick in the penalty box where Super Glen scored.

About time. Some of the proliferation of requests at games of late are embarrassing. You know full well most of these shirts that are being begged for will end up on EBAy to the highest bidder.

Just finished reading this in holiday. A very good read, couple of things in there that I never knew and some things I suspected were confirmed. Two things I took from this book are just how big a fan and how committed Clive is to our club and how much work he put into the role of director and for a...

Tony, he played on the Turf in Alan Stevensons testimonial Didn't they both play the second half? Seem to remember Corrigan playing outfield in a shirt several sizes too small for him. Terribly sad news to read of his passing. Such a name in English football he features in the closing theme tune to...

I enjoy listening to the podcast, just one small criticism. Could you, you know, maybe try and use, you know, a repeated phrase, you know, a little less. If I knew then I wouldn't need to listen.

Apart from that keep up the good work.

Been twice, once on a Friday night in Jan 1986 when we won and then again early on in the Waddle season, where unsurprisingly we lost and didn't score. Again.

Don't mind it personally but would prefer white shorts. It reminds me a bit of the late 70s early 80s Umbro kit when i think we played in blue shorts. The sort of Noble, Hamilton, Kindon kind of era.
