That's one of the worst fouls I've ever seen. Waist high studs up, should be sent off, I don't care if it's a friendly.

Stan Tastic

1-0 down in a pre-season friendly at half-time and the panic brigade are out in force.

Surprised we let him go. Pl experience and played great in VK system.

Vinny must be kicking himself he'd never thought of this.

Trellebotg, over 2 legs, was their Orient game.
And what fun we had.

The danger of being knocked out of a European competition against the danger of ceasing to exist? Not even close.

Stan Tastic

A couple of years ago some expert on their forum was convinced that when Dyche left, that was it for Burnley.
He must have been absolutely seething last season.

Stan Tastic

If the transfer is successful, Boey would become Burnley’s second signing of the summer, following the arrival of Scott Twine from MK Dons.

Stan Tastic

Agree with the free-kick one. The attacking team lose at least two minutes whilst the defence organises the wall.

Nothing cryptic about it all.
Just looking forward to playing in the Premiership... And with Burnley.

He'll be disappointed then because he'll be playing in The Premier League.

Seem to think it being mentioned years ago that Michael Essien had a trial with us.
Just what we need now!

I don't think VK would be interested in signing a forty-year old retired midfielder to be fair.

Stan Tastic

Not famous but an example of a knee-jerk reaction signing - Nathan Peel. Scored two in a home game and the Longside sang 'sign him on' and unfortunately we did. Never judge a player off one game.

Stan Tastic

You shouldn't sign a player on the strength of one game, especially a pre-season friendly.

Stan Tastic

Tom Heaton diving for imaginary shots in training sounds hilarious.

Stan Tastic

These threads always follow a similar pattern. Starting off with an air of optimism that the club is planning to conclude a major part of transfer business early to enable a full pre season for new signings, which then turns to a whiff of desperation as the clock ticks down and kick off for the new...

He's 6ft 6.

This is an interesting one though.

Stan Tastic

Interesting article on the potential new signing.

Stan Tastic

Highlights of the FA Cup game against Liverpool in 1952. He also had a goal disallowed that VAR might have ruled onside.

Stan Tastic

Who's the guy on the right?

Stan Tastic

He talked too much instead of doing his job, which was to tell us the name of the player in possession. Should've gone years ago.

Stan Tastic

I'll never forget Crewe fans on the pitch at the final whistle laughing at us as we stood there stunned after that last away game. They thought we were down and so did we.

So not really the current team then, you'd like a totally different one?

Did I say all at the same time?

Stan Tastic

Their new stand was a bigger version of the Bob Lord stand except it was cantilever. The memory sure does play tricks though, I was certain it was there for this game.

Stan Tastic

Dave Thomas and Leighton James on the wings, Brian O'Neil in the Cullen role, Laws at right-back, Trevor Steven right or left wing, there's plenty.

Stan Tastic

In his first stint with us when he was still rapid, defenders would double up on him. I remember once when he had two defenders blocking his way, he pushed it past them and ran around them out of play and got to it first before charging down the wing, powered by the Longside roar. Very good with eit...

Stan Tastic

The explanation for this from the tattoo artist would've been interesting.

Stan Tastic

Imagine wanting a striker to continue playing for your team when he can't score goals. Unbelievable.

The first of many ‘******* Burnley’ comments of the summer/season!

How thick do you have to be to think he's going to live in Burnley?

Stan Tastic

If Coventry win the final McNally will have been promoted to the PL with two clubs in the same season.

Stan Tastic

Plays his whole career on the wing until he comes to Burnley and decides he's going to play the sweeper role.

Stan Tastic

The 'Bitters' hopes must have really been up after the weekend of our 5th game when we were 16th in the table.

Stan Tastic

Always speaks very well, which a lot of people do, but it probably reads better when you've just won the league with 101 points. Also, how funny is that image of us celebrating the title at Ewood? Still feels too far-fetched. Not sure I'd ever get over seeing those lot having a party on the Turf li...

Just think how many we've taken to Wembley for play-off finals and 30,000 plus is possible.

Great name for a tribute band. Why are you spelling 'night' like that?

I'm sick of these puns although I do agree with the decision to omelette him go.

I assumed the title was Vince's mission to get Burnley back into the PL. It never crossed my mind that it could be referring to Mormonism.

Played with both Kompany and Bellamy at City. Wouldn’t be a surprise.

Why the hell would we want a 37 year-old who's way past his best? Did you not notice the ages of the players Vince has signed? Not one over 25 and that's the way it should be.

Looks like he was very Undavrated by some on here.

Nulty and Noble both hit the bar with headers and Casper was denied by a world-class save from McFaul. It was like playing at Newcastle though, with 'howay the lads' echoing around the stadium. I was right in the middle of the Leppings Lane End and it was the most packed area I've ever known at anot...

Stan Tastic

Iam McFaul saving from Frank Casper in the FA Cup semi-final 1974. An incredible save from point blank range.

Go to 12mins 40 secs for the save. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tr9-3eXobB4&t=23s

I never thought I'd see the day when Burnley played the 2-3-5 formation, even momentarily.

Stan Tastic

He's scored 4 goals in 30 appearances in the league this season. That's in a team that creates plenty of chances. I'm sure VK can find a younger striker that does everything he does and scores a few goals. You can't afford to carry a player in the PL for sentimental reasons. He'll be nowhere near go...
