Unnecessary “of”

Stalbansclaret

The main reason we're where we are I'm afraid, but as the saying goes, wouldn't do for us all to be the same, could be anybody for me not just muric, as long as it's not this one. You're perfectly entitled to your opinion as to the relative merits of Trafford and Muric but to say that Trafford is "...

Not sure how you can catch many out. They know the law inside out and what to say in any interview. They would have to be overwhelming evidence against them. Anyone who watched the detective series on the BBC will have seen the pc who was working with the drug gang in Rochdale. She had rung the gan...

PS. I agree about the WiFi mind you !

Bit of a daft thread this I think. I mean it’s obviously a pipe dream financially but what’s all the angst re Turf Moor about? I go on for a couple of hours to watch us play and it serves its purpose fine as far as I’m concerned. I’ve been to numerous of the newer stadiums around and, leaving aside ...

I shouldnt bite I know but such buffoonery winds me up too much. Just watch it man !! …Trafford is watching the ball getting himself into position to jump when Adebayo backs into him and impedes him. WTF is that to do with being “cowardly” ? He was fouled (obstructed), it really is as simple as that.

My mum died from pancreatic cancer in 2016. She went from being outwardly healthy to passing away in about 3 months. I think it’s about the worst form of cancer in terms of survivability as things stand. Very sorry to hear of your own loss.

If he’s as good as Terry I’d take him !

But not as safe. It's bad enough driving round East Lancs in a car, never mind on a bike. This. Cycling does have obvious benefits but for me the miserable experience it offers in wet or windy weather and the obvious vulnerability to accidents mean I’ll carry on walking or using the car thanks.

It was a loan until the end of the season after which he automatically returned to us

But surely he could have been loaned out to them again this season ? A bit like McAtee going back to Sheff U again on loan this season.

It’s very interesting. Been listening to the BBC Sounds 18 part programme about this and it’s truly shocking. Having worked for a big corporate for a number of years I’ve seen the dangers of “Group-think” that arise when people working for an organisation are too fearful of their job or prospects be...

Totally agree the strange point being the substitutions last season seemed to do the exact opposite.

Mainly Benson !

Padiham FC must be really bad if they class as “outside of football” !!

Playing guitar (badly)
Walking …Pendle is a great area for this

Weirdly I also like visiting antique/vintage shops

That's how they saw it and VAR agreed. The more I see it tho the more I realise what a mess Trafford made of it

You really must be trying incredibly hard to interpret it that way

Banking hubs already exist, suspect it's not through choice but a nudge www.cashaccess.co.uk/hubs The Pendle MP has been trumpeting on social media recently that one is going to open in Barnoldswick. Personally I struggle to see why anyone, bar maybe a business paying in cash, really needs to go in...

Stalbansclaret

There doesn’t seem to be anywhere in that clip where the VAR and his assistant are applying the laws of the game. Waffling on about the keeper being able to jump and use his hands instead, which has absolutely no relevance. They don’t seem to be following a logical procedure. Spot on. If they’d app...

What is the current interest rate for a ‘standard/normal/everyday’ Chase savings account? Thanks Currently 4.1pc . I agree with the posts above that Chase is a brilliant online bank. The app works superbly, they pay decent interest rates on savings and it’s easy to speak to someone if for some reas...

Last season was as good as it can get being a football fan. This season is the opposite........We have a fundamental problem as a club in that we can afford the players to out-football teams of Championship standard playing VK's preferred style of possession based football but can't afford anywhere ...

Stalbansclaret

People can moan all they want on here about VAR and injustices but you know deep down it was just absolute pony from Trafford. All those who were complaining about our tough run of home fixtures earlier in the season now upset because our weak keeper has cost us 2 points against a side they said we...

Stalbansclaret

So you think because he’s 6 foot odd he has the ability to magically pass through the body of someone of similar size who deliberately backs into him? OK then , but I give up.

Stalbansclaret

Adebayo is still moving backwards into Trafford when they collide. Trafford is running out to get the ball and Adebayo steps back across and into him in an obvious piece of obstruction. How anyone can possibly blame Trafford for that mystifies me. I do get the argument that he might have been better...

Stalbansclaret

Hmm....not so sure. My brother and I call him "the nearly man" because so many times he nearly beats his man or nearly finds the right touch. He does provide threat however and, of course, he scored tonight.

Stalbansclaret

He couldn't get near enough to use his arms because Adebayo did an NFL-level block on him aka obstruction in football language.

Stalbansclaret

You think Muric would in someway have magically passed through the brick outhouse that is Adebayo ?

At times I feel we are more of a shop window than football club.

A shop window full of rotten meat isn't a recipe for success.

Stalbansclaret

Absolutely. People blaming Trafford are deluded......Adebayo blatantly and deliberately blocks Trafford who is looking to claim the ball. Thise blaming Trafford should go out tomorrow morning and attempt to run through the nearest 6 foot plus brick s***house to see what happens.

It's not even hindsight for me to moan about Tresor..I said when he came on the he was perhaps the last player in the world we should be bringing on when looking to close out a tight game against a big physical team. What on earth was VK thinking ???? Ground my teeth to dust when he surrendered poss...

I recently moved back to the area (Barrowford) on retirement and also following a relationship break-up. I have great friends but they are scattered across the UK so most of the time it's WhatsApp messaging rather than human contact. I realised that i was going to have to try and consciously "do stu...

Stay in Valletta if you can, otherwise stay in Sliemma where there is a ferry to Valletta that only takes 5 mins or so to get there.

Yep..have booked somewhere in Sliema based on the comments/advice on here.

Stalbansclaret

Im aware of the Maltese penchant for shooting birds every Spring. in fact one of my best friends is a keen birdwatcher who refuses to ever go there because of this. I guess it's up to each of us individually to set our own ethical bars.

Stalbansclaret

To be honest, I wouldn't bother going Malta in the winter, a lot of places will be shut and you're running the risk of bad weather, part of attraction is the al fresco lifestyle there. Eating good food outdoors in nice weather. Hopefully you have a good time though, the people are really friendly T...

Stalbansclaret

Sliema I mean. Apologies for incorrect spelling.

Stalbansclaret

Thanks everyone....Im only going from Friday evening to Monday lunchtime and, based on some of the posts above I think I'll go for somewhere in the Silema area. I love walking so will be easy to get around both St Juliens and Valetta from there. I've noticed that hotels are more pricey in Valetta to...

The girlfriend is away with her friends in a couple of weekends time so, with no Burnley game, I thought I would take a solo trip, something I've occasionally enjoyed previously. Booked flights to/from Malta, somewhere I've never been and fancy taking a look around. Obviously with it being a popular...

Humphries has ground Littler down with some fantastically consistent darts . At 6-4 down it’s going to take something very special from the boy wonder now. Great match.

Thought Fleetwood looked a good organised team when we played them in the cup last season but they've really struggled this time around

Their owner,/backer Andy Pilley, was sentenced to 13 years inside for fraud in July this year which must have had an impact on their finances I would think.

Stalbansclaret

Benson finished last season sensationally and I’d be massively disappointed if he goes without at least being used as an impact sub this season. His slight physique is probably the main issue in terms of the PL but I love to watch him. As for Zaroury it’s just unfathomable to me why he has t feature...

Total genius. Ziggy is still one of my absolute favourite albums ever …every track a killer and it fits together brilliantly as a concept album. His 70s output was just astonishing really.

Legs wider than the Mersey tunnel for their 2nd goal.

You mean just like when he saved from Luis Diaz with his outstretched foot a few minutes earlier to keep us in the game ?
I’m trying to imagine what a keeper would look like if he kept his legs close together in the same scenario !!

I'd quite like to see a midfield "diamond" with Cullen or Massengo at the base behind Brownhill and Berge and JBG at the top. This to be the 4 in a 3-4-3 with Ekdal, Beyer and Taylor the back 3 and a front 3 consisting of 2 of our wingers plus Foster. My thinking is we would lose width in the form o...

I mean we’re all fed up with, and depressed by, this season’s events but it baffles me how it helps anyone to post an uber-negative rant like that on here. If the OP has indeed been watching us for decades I would have expected maturity to bring a bit more of a sense of perspective.

There were Burnley fans in the hospitality in the Jack Walker stand where they were seated in the main stand, similar to JHU which caused trouble.
