I actually think the current one has way too much going on.

I wouldn’t disagree - but certainly less than the previous.

DCWat

Huge rebuilding job in Summer if we don’t sign anyone. Past record in transfer windows wouldn’t fill me with much confidence we could achieve this. Also only a few injuries away from not being strong enough as we saw in the first few games. Hoping we don’t just end the window with no strengthening,...

DCWat

It’s a really interesting debate with so many angles. If I’m being honest, all of the coverage and seeing it presented alongside men’s football across various media platforms, isn’t for me. I’d much rather see it given its own section, channel, page to be seen by those that choose to do so. I think ...

DCWat

This is always going to cause division between supporters and it’ll be largely down to which badge you grew up with. I started watching in 1988 so that’s the badge I grew up with. As been said, if we hadn’t got promoted in 2009 which coincided with the 50th celebration kit using 1960 badge, we woul...

DCWat

I'd be in favour of going back to the 1979 badge, or a new badge. The one currently used is a mess. It isn't distinctive and is too cluttered. It looks old and not in a good way at all. A good question maybe is to ask which components of either badge do supporters think are most important to retain...

Upset of the season according to the MOTD pundits, have they forgotten our win at Anfield less than a week ago. :roll: A good win for the Blades, sadly for them they only have a visit to the Etihad this weekend. I wouldn’t disagree with the pundits. They’re bottom of the league, Man United second a...

Agree with that point DCWAT - have you seen a change in gambling ads in the last 9 months or so? In April 2020, those brands who work with the Betting And Gaming council introduced a whistle to whistle ban on advertising (excluding Horse Racing programming), meaning that adverts wouldn't be shown f...

DCWat

Great idea for a thread.

I know Bosscat’s post was in jest, but perhaps this can be one of those rare threads that keep on topic and don’t make light of what is a serious issue, for a seemingly growing number of people.

DCWat

I assume that in a lot of instances, having modern stadia will play quite a significant part in league position. If this is the case, Leicester look to be doing very poorly.

DCWat

I think we would all agree that spending poorly gets you nowhere.

DCWat

I think too much is being read into Pace’s comments. We’ll see if this is the case over the next few days. To say that we don’t need to strengthen is fine, assuming key players stay fit. We’ve a few areas where an injury would be a really big problem for us. It’s also worth thinking about how long i...

DCWat

The biggest issue for me is the volume of advertisements on the television, all competing for their slice of the pie. They’ve all got their differently branded subsidiaries aimed at ensuring that there’s potentially something for everyone; bingo, casino, slot machines, sports betting and everything ...

DCWat

The links to the likes of Collins, Kenny and Knight are nice to see - younger players with potential to develop. All positions that I’d like to see us improve on or have strong cover for.

King is a good player but I’m not convinced he’d be a good fit for us, but I could be wrong.

DCWat

Big picture derby. Not for me thanks.

Grumps - good comparison and not sure of your age but going back a bit further he reminds me of Liam Robinson.

I thought Grumps’ comparison was harsh but that’s doubly harsh!! Liam Robinson made Ian Moore look like a world beater.

Ian Moore, but cost more. Burnley fans love him because he runs a lot. A half decent striker would have had at least 2 goals with the same chances he had.

Bloody hell, that’s harsh

DCWat

I like Vydra and I'm pleased he got game time today. He looked really sharp and caused them problems and they're are different problems to the ones we traditionally pose, but I just want him to finish some of his chances because as mentioned above he's just such a "nearly" guy. I do think he will d...

DCWat

Resigning Gray would be a backwards step. I don’t have a name but I do wonder if we’d be better with someone more versatile - effective on the right or up front.

The wages he will be on, on top of any fee (even as part of a swap for Vydra) wouldn’t make it worth while for what he’d bring to the club.

Known as ALS in America but MND here. Same as my mate Alan Beecroft died with last year and what Lenny Johnrose has. https://www.caribbeannationalweekly.com/sports/former-reggae-boyz-player-luton-shelton-has-died/ Isn’t ALS a form of MND as opposed to being different names for the same thing?

The last time we won at Anfield I was in my second year at University and I am now in my fifth year of retirement.

Thank you Sean Dyche and all the Burnley players.

I bet it still only feels like yesterday!!

DCWat

It’s painful though. Picking holes in anything and everything the new man does. They wouldn’t have been as critical of Mike G making a similar tweet of that I’m certain. Has there been a lot of picking holes, in Pace? I’ve seen a fair bit of investigative work to try to better understand the takeov...

DCWat

Whilst I didn’t agree with Chester’s points, I’m not sure his view deserves belittling criticism or calls of negativity.

By all means, disagree and have an opinion to debate - just don’t turn it into more goading and name calling. This board will be far better for it.

DCWat

Call me old fashioned I do not think a Director of a Premier League club should be doing this - what happens when we are on a bad run? that is not to say that communication from the club could improve - it can there are more strategic and operational things he can talk about not the result of a mat...

Who's watching it again?

Come on. Own up!

I am

I can’t, I’ll still be praying for them not to score!!

DCWat

There’s still nothing better in football than seeing some quality wing play.

DCWat

The excitement from getting the goal, and then tension of hoping that we can keep a hold of the lead, doesn’t half take some time to come down from!

I’m still feeling it now and reckon it’ll be sometime before I’m calm enough to even try to have a kip!!

DCWat

In the past, I've pretty much liked him but I've seen a nasty side to him on occasions too. I thought tonight was one of those. The half time spat with Sean plus other touchline whines on several occasions. No different to all the other entitled so called big hitters. They don't like it when the sm...

Amazing penalty

Not sure I’d say amazing, but it was bloody well taken one

DCWat

Fantastic.

That’s the Burnley that we’ve been looking for of late!!

DCWat

I'm actually starting to thaw a little towards Brady, so credit where it's due and if he could actually cross a ball I might even reach lukewarm! It’s his passing, crossing and willingness to drive forward, when the opportunity prevents it, that is holding him back. There are some good elements to ...

No point in bringing in any player who is not going to get picked this season for the starting eleven

I agree that we need to be looking at players that will benefit the here and now, but that certainly shouldn’t mean that we should ignore options that may be more of a long term benefit.

DCWat

If it was legally available to view, it’s was televised. No different to watching on SKY or BT just a different way of providing the service offering. No different to Amazon.

Just never exchanges pleasantries which doesn't cost anything

Interesting - I’d have assumed that to be one of the minimum expected requirements from someone who places so much on core values.

DCWat

I always though my he came across as an arrogant two hat.

That could be a very unfair assessment, particularly as its based solely from his time with us and I don’t recall ever hearing the bloke speak.

Everyone knows how to do it, but not many like posts anymore. It used to be very common.

Just for you

Ignore me - I’m stupidly confusing this with offsides from a goal kick.

DCWat

How long is it that this rule has been in place? I was always under the impression that a goal couldn’t be scored, direct from a goal kick?

Either there has been a change or I have always been wrong!!

Agreed ended up watching the whole lot over a weekend and enjoyed it.

Read that some people complained about Jenna Coleman’s French accent, imagine watching that and that’s what you took from it

I couldn’t hear that for the moustache

DCWat

Have to agree it keeps you in suspense. I find some parts not easy to follow when they go several months back and forward but that's just me. Jenna Coleman is an excellent actress, it's a long time since she first appeared in Emmerdale. She was good in it, though there was a point during watching t...

Some of the comments mentioned seemed a little strange at the time that they were aired, particularly in respect of communication.

DCWat

It’s a lovely trip o’er t’ill to watch Burnley.

There’ll be no sniping about the red brick county from me. To us Yorkies, the Lancastrian obsession with Yorkshire is akin to Stockport hating Burnley.

DCWat

Can I add, apologies if you heard any unsavoury language!

I notice that Amazon simply put up a notification before loading the stream.

Our pitch is amazing - it’s just a shame it tends to be the opposition that get the most use out of the carpet like surface.

One that’s seems to be all over the place, especially down south, is Sharp’s Doom Bar. It’s not one that I like though, I think it’s bloody awful stuff. The biggest problem I’ve had, liking a beer a d travelling around the UK a bit during the week, is that not everywhere either sells enough or keeps...

Is that the Hobgoblin IPA? That’s a really nice beer - voted world best IPA at some point, I think.

Bit of a modern version but the Camden Pale Ale is very nice as well.

What a cracking beer.
Draft obviously but the bottled stuff is decent. Not too strong and tons of flavour.

Uplifting on an otherwise crappy day.

What’s tha drinking toneet?

It’s a damn fine pint - I miss nipping down the road for a few pints of landlord or Saltaire blonde.
