And there it is in a nutshell. People need to realise that behind a name in a forum there is a real life person with real life issues to contend with, and not just CT, who will relate to this board to get some conversation albeit in a written format because they don't have the luxury to have their ...

About 30 of them walked fearlessly right into the middle of the longside - was it 1970? Skin head hair cuts, Ben Sherman shirts, braces, turned up Levi or Wrangler jeans, cherry red doc marten boots. Never been seen before in Burnley. Everyone stood back with mixed feelings of fascination and fear....

I get the Times every day and the sports journalists are second to none, but to echo one of the above posts, the reports when we play one of the big six quite frequently manage a full report without mentioning any players or the word Burnley. Also, I love the Times on Saturday but week after week th...

No doubt that he is having a good season, but his kicking cannot be overlooked or glossed over. How many crosses do you see in international football, hardly any. How often is the keeper used as an eleventh outfield player, all the time. That's his problem in becoming England's number 1. He would fi...

Thanks for the rules updates. So by my reckoning you can pin an attacker to the ground whilst waiting for a corner/ fk to be taken just as long as you release him before the kick is taken but you might get a yellow card as was the case yesterday at the Emirates lol That would be a yellow card for u...

The referee is in charge of managing conduct of playets and associated staff from arriving at the ground until he leaves. You can be red carded at any time in this period for basically red card offences. The ball was clearly not in play for the 2nd incident, so no penalty. However it was definitely ...

I am one of many who won't download the track and trace app. Does that mean I can't attend?

Siddo

Played at various levels from 15 to now where I am playing a very competitive walking football locally. I was never booked but sent off once against Whitewell Bottom. I never spoke back to referees and used to accept all decisions as they never changed their mind . I think this stood me in good stea...

I used to be more scared going to matches in the early 80’s when crowds of 2k were the norm, running up and down terraces to get away from a few Neanderthals from Millwall, Cardiff etc!!!!! Still went tho........... As for 2k now, it’ll just be good to be making steps back to the new normal...........

To be fair, he applauded the Burnley fans as he walked off the pitch at Wembley and seemed to enjoy the banter in subsequent games.

We can't mention politics, covid or Brexit, but we can promote betting.

The trouble is, other relevant stuff going on in the world is not allowed to be discussed, so people make things up, because that is allowed. I fully agree with this statement. Covid 19, Bexit and a politically explosive American election are all off limits whearas the various posts on these topics...

There's a DVD as well, west marton to Leeds & west marton to Liverpool, I could only see the first listed on eBay, I have both but on VHS. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/A-Walk-On-T-Long-Cut-DVD-2002-The-Leeds-Liverpool-Canal-Walk-/184450446008?_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49292 Thanks for that Jakubclaret...

Do you have any photos you could upload? It's always nice to see photos of the Leeds & Liverpool canal at different sections en route, as most of it I've not yet seen. Hi Frank, I can recommend 2 cracking books full of history and photos. I can't post the link for some reason and the photos won't u...

Oooh, so edgy! Of course you can :D Was just telling another poster (not you) that he's mentioned having a boyfriend on the radio in the past. Can I ask if that's okay with you, Siddo? He was great last night. Wish I'd have bet on him to win at the start because his odds are looking brilliant now. ...

He definitely has mentioned his boyfriend in the past. Maybe he's bisexual like I said

Hope he wins!

That's 2 references to his sexuality from you now. Can I ask why?

I thought the Yanks won it, that's what they tell us. The great historian AJP Taylor started his excellent benchmarking book The History of the Second World War by stating America won the war in the Pacific and the Soviets won the war in Europe. He was effusive in his praise of Britain's campaign i...

Lets hope the op doesn't get banned for daring to post a non football post.

Thanks CT. Appreciate the reply. Information all bad or mixed? Think we’ve all drawn the conclusion that ALK are the better bid, but it’s hard to form a conclusion when we know so little about about where the money is coming from in either bid. Just as a matter of interest, how have you drawn the c...

This is one thing I've always wanted to do, although I wanted to see the sights and appreciate the scenery, so wanted to walk it instead. Just for an update, my aunt has gone into the palliative care hospice, so looks like I'll never see her again. With lockdown starting tonight, visitors are prett...

A close friend of mine died from this a few years ago. I did a bike ride last year to raise funds for the East Lancs branch of the charity set up to fight MND. We cycled the 127 miles of the Leeds and Liverpool canal over 2 days and raised around £3.5k. This money was vital for a little known cause ...

OK. Now I accept that I am coming from the most cynical of places. Tarks, Dwight, Pope, Taylor and Wood. We could sell them for a fair old chunk. We would also save a large amount on wages. There is a large sum coming for being in the PL. I reckon that covers the investment and more. 30m for Tarkow...

Pope not covering himself in glory again today. Poor distribution and poor positioning and lack of agility for the goal.

It's possible that SARS-COV2 could cease to be a pandemic in the next two or three months and almost certainly by the spring. Reasons why I am thinking this: The UK lags Spain by around 6-8 weeks. The the daily case rate in Spain began to rise in early July peaked at 10,909 (7 day average) on 18th ...

Sounds like Farnell's reason for failure of the test is legitimate, purely from what's been reported in the articles above.

But mistakes like this, a tick in the wrong box, just doesn't happen at that level of business. Very worrying.

Siddo

Thanks JC. I had retuned it but that then lost all the channels.
I then found the factory reset in customer assistance tucked away somewhere. I reset it and not only did it work, the picture is a lot better!
Thanks mate!

Siddo

Thanks TP.

Siddo

Did you lose a few channels or just BBC 1?

Siddo

My Sony Bravia 2017 model as above has lost BBC 1. We can still get it in on HD, but local news doesn't broadcast in HD, so we can't watch local news.
I have retuned it and used a tip I saw online about hidden channels, but no luck.

Any one got any ideas?

Thanks

Retired people with triple locked pensions, who - in the main, haven't lost jobs, or much income during the pandemic? ? A 66 year old guy left the Company last year. No savings, no private pension, lived all his life in rented accommodation, opted out of the government scheme as he couldn't afford ...

I doubt he actually voted for that. I think he's saying it should be a short term last resort option, however it's quite clear they are parents out there that expect the state to raise their children for them. No child should ever go hungry, but also their parents should so everything in their powe...

Siddo

To right, churning children out for some is down to a fine art every 9mths as sure as eggs, the practicalities of how to raise a large family responsibly isn’t even a consideration, I’d personally cap all benefits exceeding 2 children to discourage abusing the system. Not the children’s fault I fee...

I began reading this and then stopped. You are playing mind games like you do with many other posters. Don't bother replying. I won't be reading your replies.

To be fair mate, most people stopped reading the tripe you post some time ago.

The Waterloo mob went on their end along with a few others. The lads starting singing come on Burnley and it kicked off big style leading to an organised retreat over the pitch. They had also been fighting with the Wednesday fans before the game and there was fun and games afterwards, leading to the...

Apologies claretblue. I misunderstood and thought it was a court hearing.
I agree with you now!

So the courts are at the beck and call of footballers?

I've got through a shedload since March when lockdown started."A Man Called Ove" is a great read, especially for people on the wrong side of 50! I also really loved "All the Light We Cannot See" and "Mudbound", but my all time favourite is still "The Devil All the Time" (avoid the recently made fil...

Burnley Schoolboys side from 1965/66. One of these boys went on to play for The Clarets. Question is which one and what is his name.?20201008_180901.jpg

Are you on the photo Herts? I am pretty sure one of the others on here signed for a professional club but didn't breakthrough to the first team.

I missed Villa away.....

I knew you would respond P!
The away game was a bit hairy, especially when some of their fans boarded our special train. They weren't on for long though.
We had some right laughs and when I think of some of the scrapes we got into.....

I was 17 years old and we were scrapping with the Villa fans all over town. Same again in the cup in 74. It was also tasty when we won 3 0 at Villa Park in 73, later the same season as this game. Some of the guys who post on here were with me at some or all of the games. You'd be surprised at some o...
