Is Foster suspended for this game, or is it 3 prem games?

If Foster can play I would keep his fitness levels up.

11 changes though with a lot of players needing minutes.

Thankfully it counts towards Foster's suspension so he can play v Luton.

I’ll barge in just to say I don’t think there’s any “official” way to stream it .

I did think Jay Rod should have leathered it when he got on the end of that ball to the right of the goal. Instead he seemed to try and play it across goal to no-one and failed to do that too. Benson looked like all he wanted to do was shoot when he came on conversely which was refreshing.

It seems to me we always used to lose at Ipswich until Scott Arfield headed in Trippier’s cross in the first Dyche promotion season

Stalbansclaret

Kelly Cates would be excellent. Anyone who would stop the pathetic giggling and pseudo-humour Alex Scott seems to think has to be injected into every item.

Stalbansclaret

I don’t want to sound like an old gammon but it has been utterly awful since Alex Scott took over. The presenters seem to find everything hilarious, giggling like school kids rather than actually discussing football in any meaningful way.

Stalbansclaret

Recognising how good you have to be at football to play professionally , and how physically fit, I always chortle when posters such as the OP denigrate a League like the Championship as a “pub league” or equivalent. I picture the OP as an overweight, bedroom dwelling keyboard warrior whose highest l...

I’d assumed this was a spoof thread along the lines of deliberately choosing a very obscure location no one would have heard of and asking the question but seemingly not ! In all honesty I think you, as the person actually in the place and able to look round it , will be best placed to judge.

South Africa are in the closing stages of what looks like a 1-0 win over a Bastien-less Congo and Foster has scored the goal. Scored after 25 mins and hit the post in the second half according to the report I've just seen online.

Was happy to mange to get one this morning but just seen a comment above indicating that concessions started at 60 ..i'm 62 and paid normal price damnit ! Cant really complain at £15 mind you.

Went to watch the Blue Jays at the Skydome back in 1993 and loved it. A great City Toronto and for some reason I remember the particularly delicious hot dogs being sold from street carts there.

Stalbansclaret

Great to see the club involved in this way.

Stalbansclaret

Just bumped the three as, because of the above comments, I've started watching Snowfall on BBC iPlayer and it is indeed brilliant !
Would massively recommend it to anyone who has previously enjoyed stuff like The Wire ,The Shield, Gomorrah etc

The Tramway is terrible ha ha. Try the Squirrel in Bispham...much better carvery. Or even Upstairs from The GlassHouse in Cleveleys does a very nice Sunday dinner

What about The Venue down on the front Cleveleys ? I always think it’s good food there and they often have a Moorhouses pint on too.

Stalbansclaret

I stayed to the end as usual because I feel bad seeing the ground empty and want to do my bit to try and maintain morale amongst the players (yes, I realise my presence makes no difference at all as just one occupied seat but it’s how I feel). I do find it odd that people generally are quick to judg...

I assumed that Kompany hooked Berge on Saturday after he had gifted Tottenham possession in first half stoppage time, a mistake which culminated in them going 2-1 up . I was livid at the time myself as Berge , after moving nicely forward in the centre of the pitch "did a Lucy Bronze" and needlessly ...

This. We are nothing more than a glorified shop window.

Surely the thing wrong with your conspiracy theory is that potential buyers are hardly going to be forming a queue if they look in the shop window and see the contents losing games every week.

Stalbansclaret

Yes ….. it’s only 5pc of away tickets set aside for those members.

Better signal on O2 in remote parts of the Lake District and Scotland than in Burnley town centre where it's non-existent. Have never been able to connect at Turf Moor and can only very rarely get anysignal in the town centre.

Road is open but it’s a massive shame that the cafe/shop has closed down with the building up for sale. A walk to Wycoller and pie and peas in the cafe was always a real treat.

Also Just Eat - a bloke with the most annoying tone of voice

Agree totally ! Unfunny robotic voice promoting lard-arses' ability to order a variety of grim, unhealthy food brands without budging from their sofa. Also uses the smug phrase "We got it" which I always find irritating..

You could do that on a PL wage if you’re sensible - some even in a year Exactly . I heard Jordan Henderson’s Saudi deal described as “life-changing”. How much do you need your life changed when you’ve already been earning the equivalent of a very high annual salary every single week for the last fe...

Mistifying

Stalbansclaret

Remember when a super league was being discussed a couple of years ago supporters of those clubs intending to join protested in large numbers outside the grounds of Chelsea, Liverpool, Arsenal, Man U., Man City etc. The owners quickly backed down when they realised th...

What was that?

At Stanley. Dismal performance.

Stalbansclaret

Agree it’s a good listen. Personally I really don’t get the hate for Lineker who I think is a decent and intelligent person.

Stalbansclaret

Fair enough….I’ll just have to make it part of my daily routine to log in and check .

Stalbansclaret

I badly want to source a ticket for a friend for the Liverpool game on Boxing Day…. How will I ever know if ST holders have returned their seats for that game ? Do I just have to keep checking availability for that game in the usual place on the website ?

3 points for doing 34mph in a 30 at 1am seems harsh

Stalbansclaret

To be honest, I thought Sarah Wiegman got it entirely wrong and handed Spain the game on a platter. If you are basically a possession based side up against another possession based side who are better at it than you are then you have to change your tactics. And we didn't... In the end it turned int...

Intelligent, cultured, good-humoured, likeable, genuine working-class boy made good. Hopefully the BBC might repeat some of his shows in tribute...some truly fantastic interviews. RIP Parky.

Or you could do what fidel would do, say nothing and then log onto a message board anonymously and have a bitch about them. Coward. Dear me....it's a message board for discussion of all things BFC and the OP is perfectly within his rights to raise the issue of what it can be like sitting next to/ne...

And the time at Weeds when Ben Mee got flattened by Meslier, unbelievably, a free kick was given to Leeds

I thought of this on Saturday when Everton had a goal disallowed after Leno went into the back of Tarkowski. Very similar.

Burnley have revolutionised the way they play under Kompany. No more long ball and grinding out results like under Dyche The 91-92 Div 4 title win was the best season ever …. Jimmy Mullen’s claret and blue army ! Owen Coyle ….. Judas !! I wish we could get Nathan Tella back If Robbie Blake and Glen ...

North Valley Hotel, Colne.
1977, I was 15. You could get served in there no problem.

Ha ...just seen this. See my post about 10 up from the bottom of page 1 of this thread

Stalbansclaret

Ive gone for Zaroury and Beyer plus Trafford (which I accept isn't very logical) in my squad. Popey will be my number one between the sticks though.

Stalbansclaret

1977, aged 16 in the North Valley Hotel , Colne (now a plumbers merchants). A pint of Carling Black Label because I recognised it from the TV ads. Can still remember the excitement of getting served !

And wasn't it him who failed to give us the blatant pen when the keeper clipped Hendrick at Huddersfield that time ?

Re you query on Guardian articles I get the same thing but can usually make the “appeal” disappear via a bit of intuitive clicking and carry on reading the article .

A top man. My dad was a joiner in Colne and as I recall used to see Kevin Hird when he worked at Riddioughs woodyard. I also seem to remember Graham White, the Colne Dynamoes manger working there. These are just my recollected memories from childhood....really not sure why a pro footballer would be ...

The Impaler ?

Stalbansclaret

Had to check but I see Paul Weller carried on playing for us for another 6 years until 2004 ! I had no recollection of West Ham being interested in him. He now manages Colne of course.

Stalbansclaret

Surprised at this as he's forever appearing on Linked In talking about how great things are at BFC but I guess that's just been the normal insincere corporate BS we see in all walks of life.

Stalbansclaret

Test cricket is so fantastic when it's as good as this series has been. Last year v India was pretty good too. Listening to TMS and watching on Sky are both fantastic pleasures.
England certainly didn't deserve to lose this series so it's only right that they won today.

Stalbansclaret

He was a great header of the ball as has been pointed out but I also associate him with constantly, and frustratingly, being penalised by refs when challenging for high balls . Maybe I’m wrong but that’s my recollection.

This is the one that came to mind for me. Horrendous.

I have no idea what the truth is whether we are or aren’t trying to sign Tella but I’m genuinely taken aback at some of the scepticism about his ability and value for money on here. His pace, deadly finishing and fantastic pressing was absolutely key for us last season. I’d love to have him back.
