I remember Alan Shearer once telling how a young Michael Owen asked for his advice on how to take a penalty during a shoot-out.

He said "do what you normally do, pick a spot and hit the f*****g ball into the back of the net"

Not Southgates fault "one of the best strikers in the world" balloons a static ball 20 feet over the bar from 12 yards out. As a wise manager of BFC once said "you've 192 square feet to aim at and all you have to do is miss the goalie" At least FIFA have denied there is any agenda to this World Cup ...

According to my 10 year old grandson who is a junior claret member there is no Christmas party. He said there is an event on called 'Turf &Tinsel' (or something like that) for kids aged up to 12 on the 22nd December. Apparently it's a separate paid thing where the kids get a ground tour, play a few ...

Think Pickford needs a lot of credit for his contribution to that win- brilliant one handed save to deny Senegal a 1-0 lead.

We seemed to really buck up from that point and never looked in any danger when we scored not long after.

Good dominant performance from England, there was a time we'd have scraped an excruciating 1-0 win against teams like Iran. What the heck is going on with VAR though, that's 3 'dubious' decisions in 2 games, doesn't bode well for the rest of the tournament if those are setting the standard for revie...

Anyone know if The Fanzone will be open after the match?

Vintage Claret

Lowton did ok and looked up for it as did McNally.

Hard to judge how they would do against stronger opposition though as Crawley basically sat back and let us have possession for 90% of the game.

I'd rather we didn't throw one in at all but better this week than next Sunday

Not for me! would have preferred it on NYD.

Same here, was planning to drive down for the game and stay NYE and NYD travel back on the 2nd

Least the hotel booking is changeable/refundable so will have to have a rethink!

Like any returning player who did ok for us I'll give them a polite clap when their names announced or they come on/go off as a sub.

As a Burnley fan I want us to win every game yet I'm not too bothered if we go up or not this season, enjoying the Championship experience a lot more than the last couple of seasons in the Sky TV league, sorry, Premier League.

How much “not in person” do you need to be, not to go an extra 20yrds into the stadium?

Not sure.

The Park View is probably less than 20 yards away would you say anyone watching the game in there was attending 'in person' ?

Vintage Claret

I know the Fanzone is usually open to show live away matches (for an admission fee) but is there a similar arrangement for home games for those not attending the match in person for whatever reason?

Vintage Claret

Safe journey back to Blighty and hope you enjoy the game.

Just a reminder that all the facilities at The Turf are now cashless so you'll need your debit card if you want to buy a half-time pie

Or a credit card if you want a Twix..

Well, the rest of the league know how to beat us now. Pressure the midfield and get high balls into the box.

Or just have a homer ref..

If, as is likely, we are still paying him, it would be a massive drop in pay. I think he will be very careful which jobs he considers.

Aah yeah, fair point, hadn't thought of that.

Thought Sean D might have been a good fit for the Sunderland job, I wonder if he's been considered.

Said after first couple of games when we really click some team is in for a hiding- apart from a dodgy last 10-15 mins of the 1st half thought we looked very good today Muric - 6 Roberts - 7 still not convinced he's a better option than Lowton but did ok today HB -8 Taylor - 7 Not a CH for ...

Which games can the members attend a game for a £1?

Not sure how it works.

I'm assuming the Club will nominate which games it applies to but apart from receiving an e-mail confirmation of JC membership we've not received any further information.

It did change to £15 when I used his original clarets number and the new password to log in.

However that meant grandson was given an...

Yes, they are ST holders. They have clarets numbers but I’m sure I haven’t set a password for them.
