Long queues getting onto Longside Upper. Search. One older guy didn't want to be searched. Held up the queue even more!

He was happy to be searched, but just wanted the "young lady" to do it (apparently).

I particularly enjoyed Massengo home debuting with a foul throw. The lad didn’t mess around. He took the ball with so much authority too.

I will say in his defence that imo the majority of thows by any team at the Turf are generally foul throws if the rules were correctly applied.

We got in the longside upper today with 2 backpacks without a steward in sight. Quite worrying really.

Why, what's in your back pack!!!!?

Every other teams throws it easily to one of their players. We NEVER find a Burnley shirt with throw ins. Ever!! It really is a standing joke!!!

Dark Cloud

Neither goal was Trafford 's fault and I'll nail my colours to the mast and say I'm not actually a fan. He was actually good today and made some pretty good saves second half. Assignon (who was otherwise extremely good) is initially at fault for the first goal because he stupidly lets it go out when...

Vitihno was absolutely brilliant today on the edge of THEIR box. Tricky, dangerous and explosive. What he isn't and never will be is a bloody full back!!

Dark Cloud

Sleep on it!

Trafford 7 (I'm not actually a fan, but he was no way at fault for either goal and he made some excellent saves second half to keep us in with a sniff. Agreed about one utterly stupid roll out straight to a Fulham player, but crikey, passing to their players was virtually an epidemic tbf!) Vitihno 8...

Berge/Andoumi. What's the point??? Dreadful.

I look at this current squad and can't name anyone who is my favourite. I loved Muric last season, could have watched Cullen play like he did for 10 more seasons, got excited when Zaroury or Benson was on the ball. Was hoping Foster would become my new hero this season, but no, not one player has m...

I personally feel that VK has been brought up and schooled in football in the "right way" in many respects and in terms of lots of the things he's tried to bring to our club he's used what he learned from the big boys and has attempted to move us more towards that model, both on and off the field an...

Bickering alert!!!

I'm fully confident there will be a "turning point" and I can also confidently predict it will be following the Forest home game.

Why would he fly from Paris and not Rennes?
It's a 5 hour car journey

Could be absolutely anybody on that plane or indeed nobody! (Well except the pilot of course!)

They are (another) extremely good example of why FFP was conceived and brought in. Clubs being bank rolled way beyond their means is all well and good, until the bank roller, for whatever reason, packs it in. Then you're screwed. It's happened all over the place, from Darlington to Portsmouth via Bo...

Dark Cloud

No way should Massengo and Benson be on a possible "outgoing" list. I understand why they are, but in my opinion we should be giving them far more of a chance to prove themselves. They can't do any worse than those in the team who have only won three times in over 20 games!!!

Dark Cloud

Just an observation, but how many times is Andoumi going to make great runs and be through on goal only to choose the wrong option or sky his shot when it actually looks easier to score? It happens so often and it happened again last night and it's very frustrating!!!

Expecting somewhere between 4 and 6 unfortunately

As I said, "keeping it down"!!

Dark Cloud

We actually have an enormous amount of players when you count in the ones who are not in that squad due either to injury or to being unaccountably left out. There's always a bunch who fall onto the latter category every single game which shows we really do have too many players vying for limited gam...

Dark Cloud

Let's keep the score down at least.

Dark Cloud

I know they're not to everyone's taste and tbf they were never really to mine, but on reaching my 60th birthday 6 years ago I decided I'd nail my colours to the mast (as they say) and get one on my lower leg. It's the new Burnley badge and it's not huge and it was really well done and in fairness I ...

Did I hear that Vigouroux had gone out on loan as well or was that just a rumour? According to our squad list he's gone nowhere as it stands, so apparently just a rumour and tbh a pretty weird one as I couldn't imagine six months in Ireland being beneficial for any of the parties involved, least of...

Personally I feel Redmond was an error signing In hindsight yes, but at the time I was pleased we were adding some PL experience and nous to our squad of "potentials". I wanted us to sign Townsend for the same reason. Why we've made so little use of Redmond may well be explained now by the fact he'...

I was on that match and remember my brother referring to the penalty we got to level it at 3 all as a "mystery payout"!

Shrewsbury away (replay) which was the game prior to the fantastic Sheffield Utd 2-2 draw always pops into my mind. Deary sent off, 1-0 down and only minutes left on the clock. Enter Pender and Conroy for an utterly dramatic late, late win. Brilliant stuff.

It won't happen. The Russians could be watering their horses at Calais and the Tory Party would still be arguing about who was going to be their next party leader.

Young Helm did a similar thing a little while back. He opted to try to make a go of it by moving permanently to Burton and seems to be a regular and doing well. Choosing to try to make a league career in one of the lower two divisions as opposed to playing U21 footy or having numerous loans is defin...

Will they mail my pension to wherever I'm posted? Hope it's somewhere warm.

There's a CB on loan at Southampton who's getting absolutely rave revues I notice, as Saints have been on an amazing run. Can't believe we didn't think he was worth pursuing!

It's interesting we often refer to "the commonwealth" here without always realising just what that meant back then. I was absolutely amazed to find that practically every other grave seemed to be a fallen Australian which I hadn't appreciated before and there's even a dedicated (huge) memorial and v...

For anyone remotely interested in history a visit to The Somme is absolutely a must. The front line ran for only a matter of around 14 miles and is easily drive able in a day or two with numerous iconic places along the way to get out and explore. Due to the rich agricultural nature of the area almo...

I noticed Ben Alnwick was in goal for Cardiff at Plymouth yesterday. I may be wrong and someone will correct me maybe, but I think it's the (young) Spurs goalie from that night.

How can it be an accidental collision when he looks at Trafford and then deliberately moves towards him? :lol: :lol: :lol: It’s the clearest and most obvious attempt to block the keeper as he runs out… evidenced by him not celebrating after the goal has been scored and looking straight at the ref t...

People like Paul Waine and Chester Perry will know far more than me, but I've long suspected that the money Venkys pour into the black hole which is Rovers was some kind of tax mitigation "scheme" (at best) or money laundering (at worst) because otherwise it makes very little sense given the lack of...

Yep agree. during the time I played from early 80s to end of 90s for a big chunk of that time there was quite a lot of dross that got to don the famous claret shirt ! I played with and against a few who I thought had more talent than some of the dross. And I also realise how difficult it is to make...

Kiko, Jay's dad, has to amongst the best that I faced and Pete Wharton (Andy's Brother) was a really great player and much better than Andy who weirdly made umpteen first team appearances for the Clarets.

Media reporting Jordan Henderson wants to return from Saudi Arabia. If he's still in contention for an England place - and he's made his money in SA - I'd be happy to add Henderson to the squad to the end of the season.

I think? the original idea re not flagging offsides straight away was in case a goal was scored and disallowed, which was then proved to be onside. I also think? that it was to allow play to carry on without unnecessary interruptions if the offside player simply loses the ball and possession reverts...

Two wholly different situations occuring on the same day at the same time by pure coincidence it seems. The Bolton game is a strange one because as others have said it's absolutely awful for the individual involved who was taken ill, but these things have happened at footy from time to time and the ...

The fact that Adebayo turns his back, isn't focusing on the ball and clearly makes no attempt to actually play the ball really should make it obvious it's a blatant foul. He realises he can't get to it and simply decides to see what he can get away with, probably assuming that it's just going to be ...

The thing that worries me about VAR is that you potentially now have referees reluctant to make difficult calls in the belief that VAR will re-ref the incident by way of some sort of safety net. However you’ve then also got VAR supposedly applying a “clear and obvious” criteria in an inconsistent m...

I agree with several others that last night was exactly like the penalty in the Villa game. The ref makes his on field decision and var decide there's isn't enough evidence (in their opinion) to overturn it. Had the ref made the opposite decision, they still wouldn't overturn it, but they bloody wel...

Trafford played well and had a good game (notwithstanding his kicking accuracy isn't a patch on Muric's) However having seen the Luton goal live at the ground I was fuming and sure it was a foul. Watching it back now it looks more of a complete cock up by Trafford who has completely misjudged the fl...

He was so often the get out long ball for Muric. Muric always seemed to know where he was, the pass was accurate and most importantly, it stuck!

Dark Cloud

I think we have to cut Beyer some slack because he was probably expecting to be paired with Ekdal and that's almost certainly our best, most experienced CB pairing, even though it still might not have been good enough tbf. As it is that pairing hasn't happened and Beyer has had to try to find his fe...

To get the best out of Tella we'd have had to be picking Muric, so really it wouldn't have made much difference (imo)
