Any joy?

IF Kompany continues to progress at the rate he is, I strongly suspect he’ll manage Man City. That said, before he does that, I sense he has one, but hopefully two significant steps to make. Step One: manage Burnley in the Premier League Step Two: manage a Premier League Club bigger than Burnley, bu...

Hi everyone, I’ve manned the bins with West Yorkshire Clarets on a number of occasions. Pre-pandemic, the Foodbank collections had had a good period to take off and bins (eight of them) were being returned to the FanZone, substantially filled. Since ‘Operation Restart’ I don’t feel as though the col...

Very strange timing… they have had two weeks since the last game due to the international break and they have a game this evening!

jdrobbo

I’m merely speculating, based on some of the comments made, but just say Scott is struggling to settle here in the north…. It does occasionally happen and if that’s the case, it looks like the club are really looking after him. If he’s injured as reported, I hope he’s fit to return very soon. He’s a...

Super evening!

Twenty three in attendance; a new record! With several apologies too. All in all, a jolly good do.

See you in Keighley next month.

Again he was a class act last night so strong and was fouled again and again and got the MOTM as well .

What ever the cost we should get him signed up when the window opens in Jan .

Agree!

Give it a rest, your constant banging of the anti gambling drum is getting somewhat tedious, it’s every thread. Live and let live! Hi Penwortham. Thanks for your reply. Sorry, but no, I’ll comment where I see fit, just as you are entitled to. I won’t call you tedious for having the opposing view: p...

Maybe a couple…. But…. Off to Antarctica on Thursday, so may wait until after penguins and icebergs have been shared when I get back. Oh that’s amazing. However, that is a proper noun I’m not friends with…was at a pub quiz last week and in a geography round was asked what the largest desert on Eart...

It isn’t what gambling companies are doing. It may be your perception, however the seriousness with which regulated companies take safer gambling controls, and continue to invest in it is at odds with that perception. You hate betting, I love betting, we won’t ever agree on this. I do welcome reaso...

Some rumours in some parts of the press that Truss will abandon the gambling act review.

Would be disappointed with this, but not surprised!

jdrobbo

Probably got further away under this clown government. Not good for the gambling industry, or those who want reform. Will cause responsible companies to be unprotected from underground black market betting companies, which won’t be good for those who want tighter gambling controls either. Interesti...

I wonder if we’ll be back in for Obafemi…

Im just grateful that my entire betting history saw me lose only about 250 quid (net) across about two decades.

You could argue that the experience taught me something, but thankfully I recognised that restraint was needed at a certain point, then abstinence.

Same to you

jdrobbo

It's wrong to try to control other people's choices because of disagreement, let.people bet & let people lose it's the only way a lesson can be learnt the same applies to any addiction. I don’t share your opinion, Jakub, but cheers for your thoughts. It’s not how I want society to be. You wouldn’t ...

Always loved Glen's goal against Bristol Rovers. Won us the game as well if I remember rightly.

Won us the game and Andy Payton was sent off in the first half.

There are full length Sky Bet TV ads played out at half time at every match on the Turf, in front of everyone, including children. I for one don’t think it’s appropriate.

Everton have conceded joint second least goals this season. What's changed for them, I wonder?

Manchester United conceded the same amount of goals (six) in the two games Maguire started for them this season.

Agree with this but also feel Conor Coady deserves a mention too.

Hi everyone, Please find below, the latest RTR league table update, ahead of our next batch of fixtures. For reference, both Peter Bankes and Oliver Langford upped their averages, following their performances against Preston and Bristol City respectively. The next Burnley game (Cardiff away) will be...

We hardly use any gas and electric through the summer months and have amassed about £400 credit with Octopus so far - that should offset any increase for how much we normally use extra in winter so that’s a bonus. I’m an extra jumper kind of person and the ‘rule’ before we had the little one was he...

Started all of Wales' games at Euro 2020 and scored in 95th min against Turkey in a 2-0 win.

I thought so, so what was the ‘pointless’ question?

I agree to an extent John, but I find it difficult to say that when Barry Kilby is a director of Total Gaming Solutions. Admittedly he isn't part of the club anymore, but he and the money he made is one of - if not THE reason - we are where we are today. I do think it needs to go the way of tobacco...

Absolutely magnificent player. So pleased he’s the captain and I FULLY believe that if he’d been picked as first choice centre mid, last season, as opposed to third choice, that we’d still be a Premier League side, such was the huge (literally) points difference when he actually played.

Gambling has so so much to answer for. Some people still refuse to admit the damage it does. I want it as far removed from my football club as possible.
