Re: REPORT: Burnley bounce back against boinging Baggies
Saw VK'S Post match interview. As Twine stood over the free kick he turned to his coaching staff and said, "this is as good as a penalty". Just when I think this team can't impress me more, they produce a performance like this. Fabulous!!

Great memories of that win on New Year's day 1966 from Ralph Coates sitting on the ball, the fan attempting to attack Adam Blacklaw and Brian Wren being ejected from the stand for calling Bryan Douglas something uncomplintery. Wrenny hadn't realised he was sat behind Douglas's wife!
