I’m not sure VAR is coming to the championship next season. They’re using it in the play-off finals but I can’t find anything confirming it’s being introduced full time.

Maybe I’m wrong about that. I do hope you’re right. I wouldn’t wish VAR on any league. It’s fūcking dire!

Kevin Long… 10 years of bland crapness.

Fair play to him though for taking us for a couple of million in wages whilst playing about 400 minutes per season.

Must have an arse shaped like a park bench .

I’m surprised he didn’t have personal sponsorship with Anusol.

Lord Beamish

I’ll miss being genuinely competitive. We’ll be nothing better than point-fodder for the Big Teams, next term. I absolutely hate VAR. It, amongst other things, made me stay away from the Turf for nearly three years. Seems that it’s going to be in the Champions next season, so it would’ve been a fact...

Lord Beamish

The sheer number of cars on the road.

Our over-reliance on the car in general.

Lord Beamish

Life’s too short for hating Burnley players.

Lord Beamish

This guy, again?

Lord Beamish

Lord Beamish

As a player I used to think he was a right twāt, but a twât I’d have playing for us, any day.
I’m so glad we’ve got him as a coach.

Can I order a copy on Laser Disc?

Lord Beamish

This season just keeps getting better and better and Beyer.

Lord Beamish

They have been incredible this season. And very fluid. We’ve been able to freely change the back line since January’s addition of Ekdal and Al Dakhil without it really altering our flow.

Lord Beamish

I thought he was really good today. Neat and tidy; had a few chances; scored a peach of a free kick.

Lord Beamish

Was it the third prize of the half-time draw?
I reckon 4th prize would’ve been two meals for two at the Rose & Bowl.

It’s been the best of the three for me but I’ve found it difficult picking up the numbers on the shirt when we’ve been behind the goal at night games and play has been at the far end, at grounds such as Millwall & Rotherham where the floodlights aren’t as good.

That might just be age, Tony.

Lord Beamish

IMO, this season’s twin Blue away kit with Claret trim has been the best away kit in ages.

Lord Beamish

Mental!

Lord Beamish

Force of habit.

Really?! I've got an old Honda Jazz (2006) that has never been re-gassed and it still gets cold enough to ice the windscreen!

That’s Hondas for you.

Lord Beamish

I’d prefer to set fire to my genitals and then put them out with a golf shoe.

Lord Beamish

I like the look of that Wharton lad of theirs. Fits our player profile well.

Cheeky bid in summer?

Lord Beamish

All were special. Given the circumstances of last night, Benson’s tops all of them for me.

Lord Beamish

First season at the Turf for my 9 year old Daughter. This was the first time she’s seen us lose. That in itself is a remarkable thing. I treat today as a teachable moment for her. We discussed how it felt and she said that she felt sad but that it wasn’t as bad as she though it would have felt. I’m ...

Neither was his policy of reducing admission prices to next to nothing....thats a big reason for their crap support now they have to pay a realistic price.

I think this will eventually be their undoing. As a business model, without the cash injections from the Venkys, they are a basket case.

Would love Cooper to get potted, and Notts Forest get relegated.
Awful fans. Worst I've ever met and that's saying something.

You still live down that way, HP?

Fed up of them banging on about 40-odd years ago?

Lord Beamish

It would appear that the original plan for VK and the Board this season was to aim for the Play Offs and hope for the best. Promotion wasn’t an all or nothing expectation.
As the season has developed, though, those plans have been defenestrated.

100% hoping for a dead cat bounce

Might work, might not

We’ll absolutely smash them this weekend.

Lord Beamish

Great decision. Ref got it right on the red card, Lino corrected him on the pen.

As you were.

Lord Beamish

He has lovely teeth.

Lord Beamish

Got a real swagger about his play under Kompany. Long may that continue.

In the Away Team’s Dressing Room.

Lord Beamish

Thanks for a great Season in 2009/09

No thanks for leaving us in the lurch in 2009/10

He’s career has been one slow saunter downwards since, where as we have, after I totally foundering, gone from strength to strength.

F:ck him.

What do you think is their natural level? The Lancashire Combination is no more.

Bouncing in between the third and fourth tier.

Lord Beamish

A Nothing Club until Whelan poured his Millions in.
Now sauntering back to their natural level again, but with a nicer Ground than before.

Yeh it’s terrible being smashed in the premier league,please bring back the good old days being smashed by Hereford in league 2

Personal abuse.

Nice.

Lord Beamish

And of course inevitably it was bloody City who started his decline in that bizarre game around New Year when we were flying. Aye. City fans have the ultimate riposte to us when we sing, asking them where they were when their team was sh1t. Beating us when they were sh1t. Like I said. It’s humiliat...

Lord Beamish

I remember being 6-0 down to Man City at home in the third division and it was the first (and only) time my dad said, 'come on, we're going' before the final whistle, but then we still stood at the top of the Bob Lord block 4 stairs until the final whistle. I still don't really understand why that ...

Lord Beamish

Absolutely! However, the chances of winning games like today have seemingly become more like one in one hundred, if that! This can’t be healthy for the game overall IMO, and will inevitably mean hard-working fans won’t want to waste their money going to these games. It’d be interesting to see what ...

Lord Beamish

I do get where you are coming from, but this is football, more in the modern world. With the money involved the chances become smaller. I hope fans of all clubs don’t give up on that one in twenty chance. I’ve seen us win a few one in twenties over the years. It’s been worth it. Until a more level ...

I see that you're not going to budge you old bugger.

We don’t really have anything other than a rare flukey win or draw to look forward to with City. Home or away. That’s just a fact.

Lord Beamish

I respect your opinion 100%. When it’s people’s hard earned money being spent on watching games like today, I can totally understand why you don’t want to go. Equally, fair play to those fans who do go to watch 6-0 hammerings, because that’s no fun at all! I guess it’s the hope that kills you, but ...

Lord Beamish

I understand where you are coming from. Honest question, had we got Grimsby in the quarters and then City in the semis, would Wembley have swung it? (I’m glad this didn’t happen). No. I’d have stayed at home and watched with my finger over the standby button. Can you imagine travelling down to, sit...

Lord Beamish

Even though I agree with a lot of what you say, your negativity is annoying me. :) Get yoursel on t' City game next season, you never know (we did beat them once on t'Turf). Not negativity. Just realism. I’m 50 this year. I know what I want and need to make me happy. Watching City muller us, time a...

Lord Beamish

City in their current form are probably the best team in the world. We’ve played 3 games against PL opposition this season; beaten one, and given a very good Man U side a run for their money. We have more than enough about us to hold our own next season, and we’ll strengthen again the summer. Let’s...

Lord Beamish

Come on Beamish, you've been a Burnley fan for a number of years, masochism is in our DNA, Not me. 4 years ago, jaded and bored by our humdrum existence in the Prem I didn’t renew my ST. It had dawned on me that the 7th place finish and adventure in the Europa was actually the absolute peak of what...

Lord Beamish

I don’t really see that there were many positives to take from today. We were utterly outclassed and beaten quite soundly.

About the only one is that we will only have two utter mailings by City to look forward to next term.

1/ We score a goal
2/ We don’t get thrashed as usual at City
3/ Our Fans and players have a great day out
4/ Whatever the score we play with pride

UP THE CLARETS

How did that work out?

As soon as we drew City we were as good as out.

Lord Beamish

If yer on t' swill toneet, leave the Gin alone Beamish. Apparently it makes folk depressed, which is funny because it makes me reyt happy. 8-) Not unhappy. Just realistic. I don’t see any point in attending matches where you virtually have no chance at all of winning. City matches fall firmly into ...

Lord Beamish

That's p1ss poor Beamish lad. There's still going there to support the lads and even a day out. I don't feel embarrassed and there's no feeling of being humiliated. It was on the cards, for our young uns. Nah. Our record against City even when they were not backed by Oil Billions was utterly shocki...

Lord Beamish

To be fair to them, I wouldn’t have even gone there if someone had given me a ticket. We were always going try and go toe to toe with them and therefore to be utterly embarrassed by City.
I’m not surprised there’s an exodus. It’s utterly humiliating.
