Or adding depth to the squad.

Neil has already said that Brady will play tonight because he's his player and he's not interested whether he becomes cup tied for anyone else. He's just completed a three match ban and I think they will play him at left back with Olsson gone. Precisely. If they could do without him he'd be on his ...

Interesting. If Jason O'Connor knows his stuff it seems he wants to come to the Turf at the moment. The problem being that we have to wait for Norwich to sign a replacement which means we could be gazumped in the time that takes.

Now there was a player. Used to love him back in Ipswich's heyday. A real looker as well

Hi martin, what do you think of DH's article? What do you think of my summary of the article and additional comments? (I think we've "done to death" Rowls choice of subject, grammar and the rest). Hi Paul. As I've said elsewhere on the thread I think it's a poor article that is far too 'black and w...

I don't know where you've got the idea that I ever said the article was "about Burnley fans". Sorry to bring up an internet trope but this is real Straw Man stuff. Well again, you've done exactly the same as Daniel Harris in your original post, I.e. You've strongly implied it, both in the thread ti...

Rowls wrote:Sorry martin but this simply is not true. He specifically mentions Burnley fans:

He does, but if you think that makes the article about Burnley fans then you're deluded. It uses a match involving Burnley as an example, nothing more.

martin_p

Agree with the main spirit of your last post but let's be entirely clear why you comparison between myself and Daniel Harris is NOT correct. 1. The context of my thread is derived from the context of his article. That should be clear from the OP and the linked article - I'm not the one who needs to...

Wouldn't mind is his wages are affordable. Would give us something we don't currently have.

I read the posts last night between 2am and 3am so perhaps some nuance in your posts escaped me? But here goes anyway. 1. "Linking" booing Sterling with 'racism' IS saying the Burnley fans who booed Sterling are 'racist'. 2. You can call my thread title "sensationalist" if you want but given the wo...

Good interview. Great to hear an ex-player who was only here a couple of years talk so fondly about the club.

If the guy's got any sense he won't come near someone clearly spoiling for a fight.

martin_p

Which other clubs' fans does he mention that have no traditional or personal rivalry with the player but engaged iin this (as he sees it) racist behaviour? None. because he's just uses the example of the latest match Sterling had played before he put pen to paper and City are only allowed to play o...

This is a very interesting question - did the author of the article also write the headline? If he didn't, does he approve of the headline? The headline is an unusual one - normally an article will reach a conclusion in the main body and the headline would perhaps pose a question to tempt the reade...

OK, for those of you who haven't understood the article (the main offenders in this respect are martin_p, Walton, John_McGreal, MrTopTier, Lancasterclaret, ImplodingCharlie ... etc) let me explain what it says. It says there are ongoing examples of what it perceives to be 'racism' in British footba...

martin_p

Nah, post 37 is clearly very hurt and offended, pretends that they cannot see that the article more than insinuates that Burnley fans were being racist towards the black player, poster 37 was very defensive, almost foaming at the mouth in their scathing denial of the obvious essence of the race bai...

martin_p

I'm not sure some people on this thread know what 'being offended' means as they seem to equate disagreeing with something or pointing out things he/she think are wrong with 'being offended'.

Missed the silent 'k' off kn0b?

I think you're being soft and need to man up. I'm absolutely useless when it comes to pronouncing foreign names, why is that a gem? does that make me racist? I must be racist if I can't pronounce a polish name correctly but I can pronounce an English name perfectly fine. Too many black/Asian people...

JohnMcGreal wrote:Is he implying that all Burnley fans are racist, or that some Burnley fans are racist?

There is a bit of a difference.

He's not even implying that. He's implying some football fans are racist. It's hardly revelatory.

It's Rowl's tabloid headline-esque interpretation that's the problem.

martin_p

You've got to be particularly over-sensitive to see this piece as any sort of attack on Burnley fans. I don't agree with a lot of what it says, I think it's all overpaid, under-performing footballers that get stick, not just the black ones (Wayne Rooney hardly cuts a popular figure with opposition f...

Leisure wrote:But 25 including the cup draw at Sunderland!

But if you're including the FA Cup you have to include the defeat at Arsenal last season where I think he came on as a sub. So less than 25.

Seems to be the favoured moan of managers who have left Turf Moor this season with their tails between their legs. Puel is the latest to have a whinge.. You can write the after match comments of losing managers at the Turf before the game. - we played well - didn't tale our chances - difficult to p...

Got the same app and its actually a report from The S*n claiming Villa want to offload McCormack to fund a move for Rhodes and James Bree of Burnley. Only problem is James Bree is a centre back at Barnsley... So let's be quick, let them have Bree in a straight swap for McCormack before they realise!

I have said on a few occasions I would knock down the Bob Lord and make a two tier stand that included state of the art corporate facilities. The 2nd tier wouldn't be that big but would be for corporate seats. Luxury seating with premium views is where the money is while in the premier league even ...

Lowton and Marney both one booking away from a suspension with the cut off date for 5 yellows being 31st December. Can they both get to the end of the month without another booking?

"Defour has Ferguson to thank for a thoughtful letter but he is indebted to Dyche for a belated ticket to English football and reawakening his passion for the game. Even Turf Moor is part of the attraction. “It is really old-fashioned, English style, I love it. The manager said I had everything to ...
