Get Wood off.....NOW

exilecanada

Wow, we dodged a bullet there!

It's what I can only describe as a miserable day here in SW Ontario. Minus 6 degrees, cloudy, damp and some kind of freezing mist. My condo car park is getting slippery, I hope they salt it soon. I'm not confident of a positive outcome vs United today, hopefully we can avoid a battering, 0-2 would b...

Cobble, I presume you are referring to the one on Thursfield Rd. On the same block lived well known post war Burnley player Reg Attwell. Also a popular shop for kids was old Ma Halsteads corner shop on Mittella St, especially for Towneley pupils. It’s the wedge shape building opp the kids park. You...

Now the domain of Canada geese who do love a flood plain.

Anybody remember the penny loaf shop?

Canada geese like leaving their mess on a golf course as well

Yes, I remember that sandwich shop on Thursfield Rd. I'd totally forgotten the name though, thanks for the reminder.

Played football on Lower Towneley when i attended Towneley Technical HS in the early 60's Sports masters were Frank Saul,Keith Green and Roy Bracewell. Those changing rooms in winter were horrendous. Bl***dy freezing, windows never closed properly. Showers usually barely warm and concrete floor und...

Good on ya lads, classic Burnley performance, just what the doctor ordered

A win vs Fulham and we're in a far better place than just a few weeks ago.

Almost a picture-perfect early winter day here in SW Ontario. Minus 6 degrees, a fresh blanket of snow, no wind and not a cloud in the sky.....beautiful :D It doesn't take a brain surgeon to figure out our next two games could go a long way in deciding our PL future. I'm going for a 2-0 win today, c...

Merry Christmas and a Happy, Safe New Year to CT, Moderators and all Clarets fans worldwide.

Hopefully the lads have got the slow start to the season out of their system....onwards and upwards.

Big, big win

Solid performance

Taylor was magnificent.

A dull day here in SW Ontario, 2 degrees and overcast, no snow in the forecast. Looks like the whole Province is going into lockdown on Dec 24th, could be a long winter

As far as todays game is concerned, I have a good feeling about the outcome, 2-1 Clarets.

Hard agree. Without the HANS device there's a good chance he'd have asphyxiated while unconscious.

If memory serves, the HANS Device was first used in NASCAR. If so, it's the only good to come out of the 'good ole boys' circus.

Making it safe has taken away its spectacle cars dont really crash anymore i know its safer but the sport is a loser because of that.

If you want to see car crashes, change your allegiance to NASCAR. Little wonder the rednecks voted for Trump, Donnie's the ultimate car wreck.

I completely disagree, the cars are not designed to take “that kind of impact” that was Armco barriers he hit, almost head on. Armco barriers are designed to protect against side impacts not head on, and the cars are not engineered with hitting arm Armco barrier head on. Most areas of the track are...

I've just about given up on F1, it's become so boring. Decided to watch this race because night races look so cool. As others have mentioned, it's a long time since an F1 car burst into flames! How the car got cut in half will need some investigation. Kudos to car designers, incredible he walked away.

Thank God that's over with!

Sad to watch

exilecanada

Partly cloudy, 5 degrees here in SW Ontario, last Sundays 15 cm of snow has disappeared.

As expected it's one traffic at the Ethiad

What happened to the days when we could give Citeh a good game?

Good mini series, saw the final episode last Sunday on PBS. Finale was as expected, no doubt setting up for another series.

Blatant foul!

Nice finish

Got it, thanks gents. The first time I looked, 'user control panel' didn't show up, only 'profile' and logout'

exilecanada

Quite a change of seasons here in SW Ontario! Snowed all day Sunday, dumped about 14 cm of snow

Not unusual around these parts, but this is way too early for my likings!

Anyway, looks like we have our strongest line up on show today, we really NEED three points!

Come on you Clarets

exilecanada

Did that, can't find 'user control panel'.

exilecanada

I had to request new password because I messed up while logging in. I can't find the 'profile' page to facilitate a password change.

HELP!

No, the worry is that the bottom four have already been cut adrift !!

I agree with that

These are worrisome times for our club.

Rory must be ruing his slow start again at a major, this is becoming an unwelcome habit for him. Totally agree. When he's on his game he's arguably the best, but doesn't handle pressure well which is a 'must' for top champions. 2019 Open at his home course was a perfect example, first swing of the ...

Difficult to see anyone catching DJ tomorrow, but the old adage may ring true.....'Masters doesn't start until back on Sunday'. Great to see Mike Weir making the cut and playing well, he's had a lot of injury problems over the last number of years. He's recently joined the over 50's tour and playing...

A big hand for Bernhard Langer the history maker: At 63, Bernhard Langer has become the oldest player to make the cut at the Masters.

Langer is an amazing golfer, keeps rolling along. Still a major threat on the 'old farts tour'. He's been a pro golfer since 17 years of age. Incredible.

No green books allowed this week, so putts have to be read in the proper manner.

Good! I've always been of the opinion green books should be banned at all tournaments. Reading greens is part of the skill set need to succeed at the top level.

Wear Your Poppy With Pride I do, and always will until the the day I'm no longer able. We get poppies delivered by mail from Canadian Legion, as for donations, I dropped a few $$ in a collection box in a local shop.

Woeful effort! Totally void of ideas up front. Albert Einstein's definition of insanity sums us up perfectly. "Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results"

After a few days of below normal temp's here n SW Ontario, and our first snowfall of the season, we're now back up to well above normal temp's, currently 19 degrees and not a cloud in the sky.

I always preferred the 4th. Mischief night.

Oh ya, lotsa fun

Nicking wood from other bonfires. Tying string to door knockers and hiding behind bushes. Throwing a penny banger through letter boxes.

Fun times for sure

Some 800 more than turned up for the league game against Leeds the following day.

I was one of them. Most definitely a good night 'ont turf'

RIP Sean. One of my all time favourite actors. He was brilliant in 'The Rock' and 'The Hunt for Red October'.

Lovely day here in SW Ontario, barely a cloud in the sky, bit nippy though, currently 2 degrees.

Brilliant song by Chicago, brilliant jazz/rock band until David Foster took over the productions and a few key members left.

An autumn like day here in SW Ontario. 7 degrees, overcast with a threat of rain....I HATE rain
