Good post. I noted o my rating post that I cardd so little about the game that on around 60 mins I popped in my earphones and cranked up a spotify playlist. We are well and truly down - the Luton game was the final final nail for me and once we were 2 down there looked no way back at all. The team ...

He looked like a player to me, watched him closely second half from near the front of the CFS.
Assured, distributed pretty well and looks a fairly powerful unit.
A very good addition.

A lovely ceremony. Well done to the two lads, their families and friends and the club for making it happen.
Fair play to the Fulham fans for their appreciation too.

Not sure what FC Burnley's agenda is when he talks of the imaginary swathes of empty seats and folk not wanting to go on.
Is he mistaken or thinking wishfully...

The cost of replacing vk won’t be part of any thoughts. The patience and perseverance stem from employing a manager on the brief of heading up the project, to take the club from a to b within a reasonable timescale. We’re only at the start of it and they know vk is a rookie coach (with high potenti...

It's a long shot but one of my auction alerts for anything Burnley related threw this lot of three sets of WW2 medals coming up soon, the first group having belonged to a Burnley lad. I wonder if anybody on the board knew of the chap or knows his family and, if so, it might be a nice idea to let the...

I think we need a nutter like Roberts - or two - to galvanise us into feisty mode.
We're far too passive at times. I'm not advocating reckless, red card stuff but we do need to disrupt sides a bit more.

Absolutely, dsr.
We go in front, we stay in front.

Not necessarily but at least we can hope that any decisions made will be for the good of the country and not just the usual chosen few.

A blooming good bit of business that. Fair play.

Great news...because when we beat them tomorrow the City fans won't be able to say we beat a weakened team.......one day...just one day City will be poor against us and we will beat them.

I've backed us to win and Amdouni to outscore the opposition.
Madness, I know.

Indeed and the whole process seems to have deteriorated very quickly in the past ten years or so and continues to do so at an even more alarming rate.

This should be excellent, the horrors are heard and imagined and not seen, quite deliberately, which, I believe, makes the film even more powerful.

You mean he's the only one to assume those in charge of the fiasco were being both competent and truthful when they denied any problems?

Wouldn't say he's of the level of some others by a long shot

Interesting. So who would you say has done a better job than him?

evensteadiereddie

A hell of a manager, he turned the club round in his image without spending the stupid sums others have.
An excellent advocate of giving young talent a chance, he's not half the demon some on here cast him as.

Hope we never have a world war or war involving the mass mobilisation of British people however if we did I'd worry about the attitude of a lot of young people who were brought up to believe everything should stop if it snows,you can't climb a tree until it has been risked assessed etc. That's not ...

It's amazing the memories this kind of stuff triggers. Me and my mate Roy Thistlethwaite, proper Nelson name that, were stood outside the Turf as 14 year ols waiting for autographs after the 1969 game v Sheff Wednesday. Amongst a group of officials coming out was a bloke in a camel coat, the absolut...

That's brilliant.
I like the way the keeper's legs, Jones or Mellor's are still in shot, miles away from the ball.

That looks a bit like Wilf Wrigley playing for 'Everton'? Rodney Jones looks a bit like Tony Waiters and Fred Smith and Brian O'Neil (look in the background where it's either Spurs or our away kit) have also had paint jobs. The Brian O'Neil one is a good one, I'd missed that. Looks like a Sheffield...

It is odd because in the back of the album there's a footnote...
"In order to maintain authenticity, some of the players have been photographed in clothing which is not necessarily their official club colours."
Which doesn't seem to make any sense whatsoever.
Ah well, good times.

God knows what's going on in the Fred Smith one.
The all blue strip looks like it should be red, I'm sure that's Roger Hunt.

Sorted, I think.
Liverpool away, Anfield with Blant being defended by Geoff Strong and Emlyn Hughes.
Dave Thomas definitely, in disguise, lurking in the background.

I managed to replace my complete album from season 1969-1970 and its successor, having lost it somewhere in the loft over the years. Both albums are superb reminders of most of my favourite Clarets of all time and, looking at the other First Division teams, there were some fabulous players around th...

I don't think we'll be that far off especially if Everton and Forest get what they deserve.
No doubt we'll have a bit of a surge, most struggling teams do towards the end of the season but we have to put those chances away or we'll get nowhere.
We're not that bad a side.

Travelling through countries is not the same as living in them. You are just on holiday. We may be more tolerant than other countries? We definitely are.

I have to agree.
