Last gasp and over the var from McNeil.

H/T. 0-0

Here's Madge to entertain us.

IanMcL

Our passing decreasing and their possession increasing.

IanMcL

Now Mee! Fk them. Edge box. Very dangerous.

Pope catches. Phew!

IanMcL

Pope drops ball! Dodgy keeper!

IanMcL

Silly FK given away by McNeil. Edge box.

IanMcL

Burnley dominating but need a goal.

IanMcL

Gk Burnley after their corner headed over.

IanMcL

Thought we were going to achieve then. Post goaline and wide!

IanMcL

Good short Rodriguez.

IanMcL

Meeting finished!
Had one earpiece fir meeting and one for the football on my phone!
Tough life.

All on the telly now. Weird header by Brownhill!

IanMcL

No goal

IanMcL

I am still in my meeting! At least I can turn off my camera!

Madge is fired up and ready!

Come on you Clarets!

IanMcL

I think you will find the issue was mainly over contract extensions, to get to the end of this season (25% left).

That is why the bench is bare....chairman did nowt.

IanMcL

The roar of the baying crowd will scare wotfor to death. (Probably just Dave Burnley) Big match for us. We need to quell all the disturbances of recent days and let our team of heroes make their mark. First bit of good news.... Madge has signed to the end of the season. Well done Mr G and thanks to ...

IanMcL

In his prime!

IanMcL

Early kickoff too. Good luck to the squad!

IanMcL

A public siding with his players, when his chairman failed to listen, is expected of a manager wanting his team support.

The next stage should be a Chairman/Manager discussion, on future plans for both.

Hopefully, they agree the route forward.

Up the Clarets

IanMcL

Attitude

IanMcL

They are not big in Newcastle!

IanMcL

I remain hopeful that the Chairman is able to demonstrate to Sean Dyche that the 'pennies saved' over this fiasco have led to several strong signings, not least Kieran Trippier at right back. That would keep Mr D smiling for some time.

We've had worse managers than moyes or Hughes and still watched them. Not that I'd want either if dyche left.

We would probably bei back in for the remaining Stoke players we are yet to sign!

IanMcL

There are two sides to the finances. 1 is the capital expenditure the other revenue/running costs. Money is so cheap to get at present, that the club could and perhaps should, make any long term infrastructure investments. Transfer fees would be capital too and written off over the duration of the c...

Thanks a fed best wishes to Jeff Hendrick.
Just two Irishmen left, from our squad of 4.5

Great article!
Does anybody else think that JA has a resemblance in looks to Dwight?

Dwight very much looks like a young Jimmy.

IanMcL

Dobbo mentions how Burnley players were encouraged to get the ball for our opponents after it had gone out of play etc.. This was often noted in march reports in the late sixties. The idea would be laughed at now. Sports analysts would surely calculate the energy lost in doing this and how that wou...

Proper footballer.
Good news.

The trail goes dead when you get back to "who replaced John Deary".

Wasnt that Bally?

IanMcL

So still time for Hendrick then.

IanMcL

Mystery

IanMcL

Still no official news on either player.
Both are still under contract until end June.
The deadline for short term extensions, for this season, was yesterday.

Not sure how a 'new long term' contract stands up. I you are under contract until 30 June and your new deal starts 1 July, what is the issue?

IanMcL

The first good news.

IanMcL

Listening to the manager's latest press conference, it is very clear that he put his requests to the chairman and the associated club officer/s and the chairman took a very different set of decisions. This included being very late to discuss even short term contracts. This was a cause of discussion ...

I'll drink to that!

IanMcL

They are arguing the toss, in the studio, about Sancho handball, or not. They are saying hand ball. "A couple of views and we all agreed handball, but not given". Well, my couple of views showed that Maura headed the ball a fraction before it went onto Sancho's head and then arm. That change surely ...

IanMcL

Of course. Might do us all good on a pay for play or reduced overall wage.

It was criminal, after such a big op, that he had to play in Belgium, so early. All undone.

IanMcL

Steven Defour not having his contract renewed at Royal Antwerp.

Played 12 matches. Restricted by injury.

However, what they don't say is that they forced him to play right away, when he was not fully fit. Lasted half a dozen games, before totally crocked, when the injury flared up.

I wonder....

IanMcL

That b'tard Friend, no friend of us, did it again, last night. Out of nothing, he forensically scours the footage to award a pen, out of nothing, when not a single person even queried it, not least Aguero.

Certainly not an error by the onfield ref.

Friend is a s hi t.

IanMcL

Surely, if you are going to attribute a nasty washing powder ad to Burnley, right now, it would be White Tide!

IanMcL

Inaction

IanMcL

Look, I have one good leg and a gammy ankle but i am ok otherwise. My boots are still in a drawer in the garage. I will Dubbin them, ready. That'll bamboozle the opposition! Another 67 er. We are on the move! (Loose form of the word) Just had a thought. Are electric scooters ok to use? I could be pa...

I had my walker all packed up ready to go t'Turf when I was told they didn't want me - even on the bench.

Sexism at its worst.

Do you call it Kyle?

(I know it won't be Jack)

IanMcL

Yes electronic ground signage would be better. I am anti plane signs, as of now!

IanMcL

I admire your passion CC, and this sounds like a much more inclusive organisation, surely everybody can agree that we need to fight hate, injustice and prejudice whoever it's directed against, i'll send a small donation in later, you might to edit your post however you've spelt Burnley wrong.

Var kills another goal, owing to a shirt in the wind or something as stupid.

....and they think it is clever!

IanMcL

I would like Hendrick to have stayed. He was a useful member of the squad. Bardsley deserves another season. He has proven to fe s fine footballer. Lennon is also accomplished. That looks like a place for a younger player, though. Having said that, Brady and Gudmundsson are very fragile. Leaves us v...

IanMcL

Friend did for us again, via VAR, at city, so anyone else is a step forward.

IanMcL

One metre plus is the new mantra, as of now.

If progress continues without a new wave of outbreaks, everywhere, then by mid September, we should be rubbing shoulders!

IanMcL

I thought we were ok in places but short st times.
Could not find s MOM last night, so all same mark. As we lost heavily, below par.

All 5.

Roll on Watford and lets show the world the best of Burnley.

Up the Clarets

IanMcL

If we are 1m+ now, then all ok in September, bar new wave.

Fingers crossed.
