Wembley09

The sponsor dominates over everything, Massive Gold W... with pretty big white text underneath. Doubled up massive sponsor, just looks awful. Hoping the sponsor colour on the away one is like Villa's was at least, with a claret coloured sponsor. I like the look of the Claret on blue, at least it ble...

Aston Villa anyone?

The Carlisle kit mentioned above is definately on birdsh*t kit territory. That Shields kit is really cheap looking with an awful collar too. https://www.footballshirtculture.com/images/2023/carlisle_united_2023_24_umbro_home_kit.jpg Awful.. looks like a birthday party table cover, for a 10 year old...

Heard on global radio this morning about the protests to government for us, Villa and Fulham having betting sponsors.

So came on here to see if the new shirt was announced/shown

No sign of it though.

Not a happy camp there is it, and their play-off hopes are slender to say the least now.

Yeah seems like they've turned on the players now Bruce is gone. Strange as I felt they were one of the best teams we played home and away.

Wembley09

Heard the West Brom fans singing your not fit to wear the shirt at their players today, during the defeat at Rotherham

Wembley09

Saw it was on the screen asking fans in the North Upper to not throw missiles.

Shocking if true, but I also ask was there no netting? I know teams like Sheff Utd have huge black netting between the stands. Shouldn't be needed I know but it's there for the small % of idiots.

Wembley09

Keegans Man City team back in 2001/02 were the best team by a mile. Took them a while to go out and prove it (after the new year)

Although I wouldn't put us anywhere near that City teams level.

Wembley09

I always rated him at West Brom.
Since then he's been bang average.

Wembley09

Sunderland fans I know couldn't believe they were 2-0 up.
They expected to get hammered from the start, told me they had no strikers and were also without there best winger.

Wembley09

Barnes in his prime wasn't about being in the air. He roughed people up, broke up play and got the opposition frustrated. Give him a decent partner (back in his prime) and he created space for them by being a nuisance and peeing off opposition defenders. I'd say he was better at opening space for ot...

Wembley09

Shame about Churlinovs injury. I know he got abit of stick for play acting against West Brom.

But from what I have seen he could be a real asset at this level, strong/tricky and not afraid to take men on.

Wembley09

I feel sorry to ask this as he's been a great servant over the year's. But what does Ashley offer? He doesn't fit in this current system, and I doubt he would even be much effective in the old system as he seems to have deteriorated alot in the last year. I love Barnes for his service and good times...

Wembley09

Always sat on the ‘in favour’ side when it comes to FA Cup Replays.
Been times when the revenue from an FA Cup Replay has changed the financial history of a football club for the better.

Really pathetic that the ‘elite’ think they have a right to control the whole sport.

Wembley09

Seems a bit knee-jerk. Looks like the Cardiff fans aren't too happy either.

League position doesn't look brilliant, but they are still above Middlesbrough and West Brom.. 2 of the preseason favourites

Kompany said it today so it must have happened in the last few days :( Ok then.. It was only last weekend Kompany teased us saying Twine was very close to a return and it would be a nice surprise when he did. Which got aot of Clarets fans thinking he might be in the Preston squad, which was very un...

It is really very simple. We are very lucky to have a site like this. We are very lucky to have someone who is a decent soul organising the site. He's a genuine man, a decent sort and has BFC at his heart. I don't understand why anyone would treat one of our own in such a disrespectful way. All the...

“We’ve had a little setback with Twiney, it is unfortunate because ideally a player gets injured and comes back but that hasn’t been the case. “We will remain patient and work with him to help him show the talent he has got. The fans are going to love him and we need to make sure he gets delivered ...

Kompany has confirmed Twine has had a small injury set back

Just now? Or has this been on going for a while?

Oh my days, now that is more of a quiz question than anything I have ever heard on here. Well fingers crossed, Tony will be running this site for many more years to come. He will definitely be around for years to come, but whether he can be arsed to run Clarets Mad mkII for all that time is a differ...

Seen on twitter Leicester fans saying they would be happy for a Dyche or Pulis to come in til the end of season, sort their defense out and get 17th.

Wembley09

Early days, but I don't think we've been pushed hard that much. Watford away I felt was one game where we looked very much 2nd best, and West Brom of course but on another day with some decent game management we could have nicked a win against a struggling team throwing everything at it. Blackpool a...

Wembley09

From what I have read (just clicking on the link) they are moaning about the distances travelled since the midweek games. They are complaining that we only travelled 25 miles to Preston, and that they should be allowed more rest before traveling up here for this game. Wow, football and some fans the...

Wembley09

From what I've seen of him so far, he looks very comfortable at the back.
Not an ounce of settling in, or adapting to English League so far. Definitely looks to have the ability, lets hope it continues long term.

Wembley09

Blackpool definitely didn't say that, they thought we were a soft touch when put on the back foot.

Wembley09

I strangely remember this, I didn't get to on the match as it was a school night and I was 10 or 11.. I remember because my friend got to go, and I wasnt happy. I got to go on the Stoke match the following season though, where we were on a level playing field as they had just got relegated. We got b...

Nothing up with him.

McNally not really ready (or good enough?) for Championship football yet.. other than that, nothing is up with him.

Wembley09

4th in the League, playing some nice stuff and unbeaten at home.
Pretty good considering the turnover of players and management.

Yes we could be more clinical in-front of goal at times, but overall I think it's been pretty damn good so far.

Wembley09

Good win, although I expected more from Brizzle to be honest.

They sat back so much in this game, expected the Leagues top scorers to be more offensive.

Wembley09

As far as I know he is taking a break from posting after a particularly nasty set of exchanges directed at him a couple of weeks back - I have had my own frustrations at times but we have always managed to get through to the other side of them in a sensible fashion. More often than not we communica...

Just got the shirt after an early dart over pre-match from Chesterfield, very nice in my opinion! Fair few in the Club Shop buying it this morning.

Is the club badge/umbro embroidered? From the pictures it looks like it's a printed badge like the Sponsor.

Wembley09

They got rid of Chris Hughton (after keeping them in the PL their first season up) because they wanted a change in football on display.
So I can't see them going for Dyche..

Wembley09

Looking on the official club shop website it definitely does look teal and not blue.
Surprising it looks a totally different colour to the away socks, which do look a nice blue colour.

Wembley09

Did he have anything to say about only 1 minute being added on at halftime? Millwall were messing about wasting time all through that first half, the referee pointed at his watch asif to say he's adding it on. Then he gives 1 min, felt like there could easily have been 3. Not that it matters we won,...

Wembley09

Trying to make out those pink lines on the third to see if it's a map of the town..

Wembley09

I know they have a poor squad in terms of PL standard, and their transfer business this summer has been underwhelming.

But even when he spent £100 million at Fulham, he didn't keep them up either.

Wembley09

Could see him going to an MLS team.

Wembley09

Off the top of my head Forest at home, when Jay bagged 4 in a midweek game, could be wrong mind you. We've put 5 past them a couple of times, in the 08/09 promotion season.. when a very young Jay Rod scored that curling effort from the left wing. We also beat them 5-1 a few years later with Steve M...

Wembley09

Either pink or black, either away or either third doesn't fill me with much confidence in your statement.

Judging by all the yellow on the training/leisure wear, I can see there being a yellow away shirt.. or at least some sort of yellow coloring in it.

I’ve been on The Turf since a nipper in the late 60’s and heard plenty,……

But never that.

People making up stuff to validate their arguments.

Wembley09

We were robbed, paid too much. Average Championship player, the Brizzle fans that were gutted he was sold are blind.. he will run back to Bristol to train with them once he realises he can't get into the team just like Ben Gibson.. waste of money.

Wembley09

Abit of a strange one, feel the heat because of their fathers.
I was watching Eubank junior talking recently about how he and his dad haven't talked for a while which wasn't the norm.

He said about the passion his dad felt from this, and that he wanted to step back away.

Wembley09

Let's see if he can do any better up there than he did at Middlesbrough.

Wembley09

His passion and intensity reminds me abit of Scott Arfield.

A few posters through out this thread of said they don't sing this if they have their kids with them, or now they are older. But yeah, it's always been disrespectful just like it was 30 years ago.

I remember being taken to the Turf as young lad in the mid 90's to early 00's and not being bothered by this chant, to be honest I didn't fully understand it till I got older. But I didn't see any adults worrying about the kiddies then. I had a good upbringing but I was never bubble wrapped about st...
