"Do unto others as you would have them do unto you" is a good starting reference.

I was there on the Saturday when Boycott did it.

We're just Burnley to me but if VK is in charge then it's not a lie to refer to us as "VK's Burnley".

I hope we are not led down that path. It's too close to VenKy's Blackburn.

Maybe the OP should change sport and become an England Second Rower.

Maybe they're playing Aussie Rules football.

They're called "trafficators".

This used to be played during the adverts at the pictures interval.

Spanish Armada, Les Reed Combo.

Note: "pictures" is where we went to watch films in the 1960s.

He'll do a better job than Nobby could have ever done.

My rattle in the early 60's had "LARETS" on it. The "C" got lost and was never replaced.

If you're genuine Irish, you'd celebrate on the 16th, and recover on the holy day.

Perhaps they should revert to their previous nickname - The Pensioners.

Stanley Matthews. I don't remember when, other than early '60s. I don't remember the score. I do remember Alex Elder being labelled "Stanley's Little Lamb" in one of the papers. His match instructions were to keep close to Matthews. This he did. He even followed Matthews when he ran round the back o...

He was one of the best players in any of my Subbuteo teams, almost as good as Pilky.

I'd much rather go with Silberkugel.

Paul & Harvey Barnes ????

GordonvaleClaret

I've been using them for years. Never had a problem.
However, following on from my latest trip, I won't be using them anymore.
Nothing to fault with them. It's just that VISA have started charging me a foreign transaction charge because they are a Dutch mob. I live in Aus and all my travel was in Aus.

Does he play for Leeds?

I've got a mate from Tommerdin. He says he's from Tod-moor-dun.

This is much better

Was just going to post Kelsey. Can’t think of a goalkeeper before Bonetti at Chelsea.

Reg Matthews, I remember him from bubble gum cards.

At his age, he's doing well to remember his LAST six wickets.

sixpence for kids in the enclosure

That was a so called "transfer fee" on top of the fee paid at the entry turnstile. Early 60s it was 1/3 for kids.

It'll never happen. Dwight McNeil won't look right wearing claret & blue.

If memory serves me correctly I think Denis Law scored for the Rest of the World team, also I seem to remember rushing home from school to watch the end of the game on tv.

........ and then went on to play international football for New Zealand.

I never knew that. I've always thought that Vic Pollard was the first Burnleyite to play for NZ.

What's the point of playing if you're not allowed to score?

This is Sarfgates last hurrah.
The FA have said he will stay on but I fancy he will move to club football.

Replacing Dyche?

If the powers that be were so incensed at such a terrible evil, why did they wait until the match finished before suspending him. Are they hypocrites or just afraid of the criticism they would have copped had they done so? If this sort of persecution has become the daily norm then It's high time Fre...

Never said he would only play for Sean. What he did say was that he’d like to end his career at Burnley.

So when he rocks up ont Turf playing for United, break both his legs.
Wish granted.

FOOTBALL LEAGUE FOUNDER MEMBER I'd question because I'm waiting till it's time to turn the oven chips and fry a pork chop and I'll get back to the thread later. If you use a pizza tray (it's got holes in it) or alternatively drill holes (about 5mm diameter) in the tray you're using, you won't need ...

Get a USB docking bay. Physically remove the HDD from the PC. (You can do this if the PC had died on you.) Connect the HDD to the docking bay. Connect the docking bay to the laptop.

Chris Wood is also the first New Zealander to score a Premier League hat trick.

That's a dead cert ct_u. I just hope that the super clubs are not barred from playing in the league. In 1888 the FA failed to stop them money paying heathens from forming the Football League. In 1895 the Rugby Football Union ditto the Northern Union, later to become the Rugby League. In 1968, tennis...

I fail to see what all the fuss is about. The ESL set-up seems to me to reflect the English Football League set-up, when formed in 1888, prior to the creation of a second tier in 1892. From small things, bigger things grow. For mine, let these big wigs dive around in the sun (I'm sure they won't be ...
