Scored from close to the touchline in front of The Longside in the 5-0 FA Cup second replay victory over Scunthorpe in 1989. I remember going to the original tie in a Ford Transit van with about 10 lads, arriving after kick off (which i think was 11am) with a van full of empties and beer for the jou...

Last time we played Newcastle in the second tier was 1983

And it was a Saturday game. Won 1-0 with a Terry Donovan goal. Keegan Waddle and McDermott all played for Newcastle and i seemed to remember Micky Phelan having a great game against Keegan.

Best keeper and best right back I have seen at Burnley. Though i will qualify that comment in that I wouldn't want Nick Pope in goal playing the Kompany way. But he was an ideal keeper for the way we set up and played under Sean Dyche

First 20 minutes the out ball to Brownhill on the left stifled any forward momentum as he invariably played either inside or back to Taylor. Once he moved more central we looked a lot more balanced and started to dominate possession.

When you are looking for some good news to brighten the evening, this is it. Right here. And I hope his ending was agonising, prolonged, undignified and humiliating. The least that he deserved.

Generous JD. Can we have a Jones scale? Starting at the negative and to a maximum of zeroes all round if he has the game of his life. The most incompetent official we have had the misfortune to experience for many a year.

A man who went on to give 39yrs service to this club as a player, coach & scout. But who has now left the club due to redundancies.

Thankfully the TOC had already priced me out of using a train to travel to Newcastle, so I had already chosen to drive up there at about a third of the cost of 2 train tickets.

Is he? Must be many years younger then. I worked with him for a short time at the Turf when Basil was a director.

Just checked and Basil was admitted as a solicitor in 1967, Nick qualified in 1998. That's a hell of a gap for brothers.

Interesting that Jensen says they were told that it was promotion or administration in 2009 - fortunately it was an incredible season finishing with Wade's magic at Wembley - it still surprises many to learn just how desperate things were at the time for Burnley and indeed following the subsequent ...

I decided not to risk it for Newcastle so i am driving up and staying overnight. Plus the train price from anywhere close to me was extortionate. £110 per ticket is the cheapest i can do. Even with a Two Together railcard it will cost £180 including the railcard. I can drive there and back on a tank...

The Centre spot 1981(?) Anyway it was the Q&A John Bond did when he first arrived. Two pints of Thwaites and a gallon of misplaced hope.

Was 1983 when Bond arrived. I also had the gallon of misplaced hope, especially after Reeves was injured

He wore every shirt number.

Perry Groves - West Ham fan I know recalls him being kicked into the old chicken run by Julian Dicks and then asking to be substituted before he got more of the same.

You say we had a good balance around 17/18. But we stood still after that and never pushed on. Ultimately getting relegated. Dyche was coming out with excuse after excuse saying it was hard to attract players to the club. Hardly struggling to attract them now. Maybe it was hard to attract players t...

It’s all well and good being ‘cash healthy’ but there was a flip side to that which was to the detriment of the squad in the end and ironically resulted in the relegation. Also it depends what you are defining as cash healthy? There’s lots of argument in the financial/business world that having a l...

I think that's fair. Blatherwick went on to play for Chesterfield at a decent level (League 1?) for about another 10 years I think

Just checked - he played 223 games for Chesterfield after leaving Burnley.

Herts Clarets

Great, a referee who can't get a decision right when he has countless different camera angles and slow motion replays to watch.

Herts Clarets

I got back to The Stork pub in Read that day after the match to see Blatherwick sat at the bar with a friend who lived in the village………… Said he’d never experienced anything like it as a pro footballer being told to get changed, leave and never play for this club again………(in slightly more dramatic...

Where electrics are concerned, with me there are no silly questions! I didn't know there was a drain hole. Presumably it's somewhere at the bottom? Usually at the bottom of the back wall of the fridge. Can get blocked and from experience leads to what you are describing. If this is the problem, the...

No way do they deduct points from Everton. If it was a smaller club then it would be a different story. Happy to revisit this is they do receive a points deduction in October.....

Another shocker he had was at Grimsby in 2002, when Gascoigne played. Well i say played, was on the pitch in a Burnley shirt. Grimsby had a player who was an ex tennis player (Boulding possibly) and made our defence and in particular what passed for a goalkeeper that day look absolute mugs. Lost 3-1...

At the time in the ground I thought there was a 'maybe' for a potential foul on Al-Dakhil, if that's the same one you're thinking of? It looked like a push.

No problem. One other thing that really opened my eyes in there, particularly during the game was the amount of drug taking going on. A constant smell of cannabis and people openly smoking it.
