I’m glad to flick thru another JT thread where his transfer fee has increased again. Get Muric in, it’s not like his distribution cost us the game at Spurs, best overlook that. Football is so fickle, start of last season UTC posters were praying for Muric to make a mistake so they could proudly say ...

You think back players like Airfield,Boyd and Hendricks who used to get pelters on here but would walk into this team.

NL Claret

Most important for me is that Benson, Cork and Jay Rod all start. The future.

NL Claret

It’s amazing how many people have bought into the narrative that Trafford is going to be this great all round keeper in a couple of years. Brian Jensen was a good shot stopper as was Chris Pearce on his day. Not aware of the narrative about the great all round keeper that UTC posters have bought in...

Hopefully no Taylor for me, that back pass in the first few seconds, horrifying start which set the tone for the game. What crossed his mind to volley it back at head height, shocking.

Or just drop him.

Yes definitely drop Taylor, unfortunately we don't have a left back, how did that happen?

NL Claret

And he’s not very good at heading based on that Horrific pass back, is the goalkeeper allowed to handle it ? Not sure how Trafford was expected to deal with such a shocking ball played to him by Taylor. Seemed to set the tone for the game. Perhaps they should work on Traffords heading in training.

NL Claret

What the actual was Taylor thinking? On no sorry, blame Trafford, got it.

What a dreadful signing this has turned into. Shame for him because id have expected him to play a big part in the Championship.
We've basically just spunked over 10 million down the drain

You never know but in this day and age, professional football clubs might have taken out insurance policies

I knew one person who subscribed to itv digital, so few people had it, we went round to watch the PNE and City games.

The only thing that is embarrassing is the standard of some of the posts and entitlement. We’ve just lost to one of the best sides in the division, one of the biggest clubs in Europe, the manager shows passion , frustration at the decision he disagreed with. PL managers get booked every week, standa...

Trafford’s transfer fee rises every week on here. In my 40+ years watching Burnley there have been only a few goalkeepers who have not got a lot of criticism, Heaton, Pope, Walker were popular. Can’t think of many others apart from Marlon’s first spell. Nowadays we have message boards with a lot of ...

NL Claret

It’s rare for me to enter a football related thread on here, especially if it’s gone over 2 pages. The different transfer fees mentioned for Trafford vary. Did the club pay the full amount (whatever it was) up front? Or is the full amount based on certain outcomes happening? Also, how does Amortisat...

More clubs than Tiger Woods

Sorry for sort of staying on topic and not finding an opening to have a go at the club. Remember I think it was towards the end of Stan’s tenure, the first team squad went for warm weather training at La Manga. Following Saturday we were beaten 4-0 at Highfield Rd and we were fortunate it was only 4...

Watched that Owen / Webb clip on Sky. Utter rubbish, Owen has played the game and knows it was a file. What did one of refs say? The keeper still had the ability to jump. Webb never answered the question. The problem with VAR in this country is the operators are useless and the PGMOL close ranks and...

Just reading the letters after the BBC report of the game ,Cornet and especially Ings getting some real stick off the West Ham fans. Im not surprised, both were awful. Cornet made one positive contribution all game, he doesn’t want to press when not in possession, an absolute luxury player, never s...

Is it var or total lack of competence demonstrated by the officials? I am not enjoying PL at the moment. If it takes over 3 minutes to make a decision then it is not clear and obvious. Spectators want to see goals not a system which could be known as goal prevention. The officials in this country ar...

Sorry, should have posted on January transfers thread. Mods please remove.

Tbf it is better posting separately as it takes far too long to find any rumours on that thread. I find with any thread that goes over 1 page that it’s pretty pointless following it.

One of the main reasons for getting rid of season ticket was KO times / days. Sat 1230 were a pain as was anything on a Sunday. Broadcasters aren’t bothered about fans as they know if one fan cancels someone else will take their place. In all honesty I don’t miss it, watching with my mate on TV with...

As mentioned earlier I’ve muted Barton however have seen a screenshot of his tweet to Neville, it has my toes curling in embarrassment for him. Needs to be intervention and quick. Wouldn’t be surprised if legal action has already been taken by a number of people.

Had to mute him on X a few weeks back.

Genuine question: did the Neville brothers ever try to get involved at Bury FC during its demise? I think the answer is no. Their mum was still secretary until close to their demise however I don’t think they wanted to get involved and why would they, the club was in financial turmoil due to the 2 ...

From the bits and pieces I’ve read the following could be part of the problems: Karen Baird stepped down as chairman. Gary Neville taken a back seat. A group of ageing players on good wages who can’t be bothered, the club is attractive for players to see out the end of their career whilst earning a ...

I thought you meant "one man and a dog" for the attendance. Sorry. The rest of your posts seemed genuine. I apologise for any offence caused. Fair play to the clubs who allow dogs.

Not said in jest, genuine question. Been to Rammy and Kendal this season, both dog friendly. Google search tells me Padiham is dog friendly too.

Going watching the Rams at Padiham tomorrow, weather permitting. Where’s the best place for a beer pre match? Straight into the clubhouse or a beer in Padiham. It’s been years since I’ve been on at Padiham, would have been there early in the past so parking wasn’t an issue, is it easy to park at the...

Went to Matagorda a few years ago, there’s a centre there that’s full of bars that show the football. It’s a good walk from PDC or a short ride in a taxi.

Watched on TV, I can't remember if it was the first or the second incident but seemed to have 2 goes at connecting with o shea. Can't have any complaints and maybe against a preferred club he gets a straight red.

I thought it had been established it was 5% of this msg board want Kompany sacked which is probably about 5 posters.

NL Claret

I’ve not read the good old “I know loads who have stopped going” for a while , it used to be the “I know loads who are not renewing” when in reality it was maybe 2 or 3. More tedious stuff. Right, time to pack the suitcase and head back to England.

Theres a fair distance between NZ and Solihull!! Missed out that we are away for the weekend of the Everton game, my written English suffered at school, Jed Ferley!!

This msg board is getting so much more boring than i thought it could, any thread that goes beyond 1 page = an argument between 10 posters and now the repetitive dross continues. Unreadable.

Always found UTC good for holiday advice, thinking of Corfu for early May. Flights from Liverpool look well priced, never been to the island, which resorts / towns are good for a quiet relaxing break. A few decent tavernas etc, not much nightlife.

There was a minibus turned over on Fulledge Rec after the FA cup game. As Tony rightly says, it was a bit more than lively after the game, both inside and outside the ground. It was Lofthouse and Tommy Cummings on the pitch the week following the cup game appealing for calm. The return fixture arou...

Didn’t realise that was the same season we beat Altrincham, vague memories now of going to the replay against Bury but not the game at Gigg. Bury based Clarets, possibly didn’t go to that game after going to the FAC a season or 2 earlier.

Come across the results from the same day in 1981 and 1987 on social media. Burnley drew 0-0 with Runcorn in the FAC, Burnley won the replay a few days later.
