Just thought in an FA cup quarter final against one of the best club sides in the world we might have played our best goalie to give us half a chance.

To be fair though we could have had Nick Pope or Gordon Banks or both in goal, don't think it would have made any difference.

Vintage Claret

Not embarrassing at all. Fair play to everyone who made the effort and incurred the expenditure and hassle to attend what was probably going to be another mullering at the hands of a world class team at home. I didn't go, just watched in despair in my local pub, sorry if that makes me an embarrassin...

This is a unique season in my history of watching the Clarets, never thought I'd see a Burnley side so consistently too good for the opposition. If it's a choice between being bored winning every week or being bored scratching around for a draw then getting dicked every week in the EPL, I'll take th...

Well, T1 was busy this morning but not chaotic and the queues were well managed.

Definitely worth the £5 for fast track through security as although moving the line was quite long.

Took about 45 mins to get airside overall so not too bad.

Excuse me Mr Vintage, have you forgot there's a very important match on the turf on Wednesday night?. I'll remind you of this when you're struggling for a Cup Final ticket.

Yeah, another holiday I booked mid season thinking we wouldn't have a game that week....

Vintage Claret

Thanks for the replies.

Good shout about the fast track ZC, I just remembered I have a voucher from Holiday Extras with about 20 quid left on it so have part used that to buy 2 fast track tickets at a fiver each

Vintage Claret

Anyone been through Manchester Airport recently and has all the chaos now subsided?

Haven't seen any reports on the news about it for ages so guessing it has but we've an early morning flight from T1 on Wednesday morning returning late afternoon a week later so just thought I'd check.

Vintage Claret

Just booked.

Thanks for the heads up CT

Don't normally like to diss where people live but can make an exception for Luton - jeez what an unpleasant dump with a football ground to match it

Went to the Wetherspoons for breakfast about 9am before driving back 'oop north'- it was like being on the set of Michael Jackson's 'Thriller' video.

Vintage Claret

Not been to watch a match there but did do the ground tour during a short break in Barcelona with Mrs VC about 3 or 4 years ago.

Really enjoyed it as did my non football liking Mrs!

Yeah just seen other thread, cheers Leisure

Not been to Luton before, and stopping over tonight and Saturday.

Any recommendations for away friendly pubs (preferably serving real ale) appreciated

Vintage Claret

Just great that there's been a load of new chants/ songs this season in support of the team and individuals rather than just singing about Blackburn Rovers.

No idea who is coming up with them but keep up the good work, think the fans have definitely been the '12th man' this season

Vintage Claret

Don't like the Jack Walker song but apart from that excellent singing today.

Vintage Claret

That's good to hear Dark Cloud, thanks for the update.

Vintage Claret

Thanks AD, it happened just in front of your dad and me and it didn't look good.

Couldn't get it out of my mind after that so was just hoping for some positive news on the outcome for the person concerned.

Maybe wishing the gentleman well and a bit of sympathy is the way forward here, not creepy insinuation. Just a thought.

Hope that isn't aimed at me as I posted out of genuine concern as to the gentleman's condition

Has there been a reply after my original post that's been deleted?

Vintage Claret

Walking to the ground about 7.30 tonight we saw a gentleman in front of us suddenly collapse forward and bang his face on the pavement, obviously suffering some kind of sudden medical episode. His companions immediately rang for an ambulance and several people came to help so we didn't linger at the...

My old man has popped down to the ticket office and there's five or six people queuing the old fashioned way including himself

I was in that queue, number 8 in line at 9.45

No queue presently.

In both incidents the goalie rolled it via his hand

Hmm, I don't know I thought he'd kicked it (I had a few sherbets before the game and my eyesight isn't the best so I may be remembering it wrong

)

Either way, the defender definitely stoopped down and stopped the ball with his hand

Vintage Claret

Maybe, can't say I noticed it but just curious as to when the ball is deemed to be 'in play' Once the goalie had placed the ball on the ground shaping to take the goal kick then passed it to his team-mate I would have thought the goal-kick could be seen as having been taken at that point so the defe...

Vintage Claret

No doubt Muric's distribution is great and an integral part of how we build up our play from the back and all credit to him for that

He's not a bad shot stopper either but let's be honest, he's a little bit shite at commanding his area and taking crosses

Vintage Claret

As per the thread title About 10-15 mins into the 2nd half WBA had a goal kick. Their goalie placed the ball on the 6 yard line, there was a defender to his RH and LH side on the corners of the 6 yard line. Goalie fannies about for 10 -20 secs to take the kick, then side foots it to the defender on ...

What's ITV X?

It's ITV's new (ish) streaming service available as an app ( think it replaced ITV hub)

There's a free version (with ads) or a premium version with no ads and more content ( we just have the free one)

Yes all the UFO ladies certainly wore some 'interesting' outfits

Ed Bishop was perfect for the role of Straker, and Michael Billington as Foster.

Wierdly and a tragic coincidence, but the 2 actors actually died within 5 days of each other in real life

Just a heads up for those of a certain age who loved Gerry Andersons first live action series as a kid, all episodes are available to watch for free on ITV X. Just binge watched the first 4 episodes.

Just heard Ken live on R2 announcing he was moving on but stressed it was entirely his decision.

Definitely the most abnoxious set of away fans I've come across for a while. Won't go into detail but I and my 10 year old grandson encountered some real tossers effing and jeffing and giving it large in/around the Cricket Club before the game. Think I celebrated the goal against them more than the ...

Some brilliantly taken goals there.

Apart from the 2 against Blackburn think my favorite is the winner v Palace.

Might be remembering it wrong now but wasn't this very late in the game at 2-2 (after we had let a 2 goal lead slip) and Palace had just hit the post before we broke away for AB to score?

Ah ok, fair enough, can't remember her being married in it to be honest but it is quite a while since I watched it as well.

I'll have to dig the DVD out over Xmas and watch it again, as you say, cracking film and definitely worth re- seeing.
