Booking. Hardly touched the ball and had every intention of sorting mr Brazil. There's no such thing as hardly touched the ball, you either hit it, or you don't. Tarks got plenty of the ball, and to make that contact he had little option other than to follow through. I'm sure Tarks enjoyed it, as d...

Sean needs another Micky Duff moment. Something has to change. I don't think its the line up, or formation that needs to change, but our lack of pro activity with substitutes is killing us. Fresh legs, swapping a forward for an extra midfielder, swapping a winger for a 3rd centre back. The like for ...

The ball was there for Tarks to win, and he won it. If Richarlison was worried, HE should have pulled out. The alternative is Tarks pulls out, why the hell should he.

Just shows what complete nonsense this "Dyche fit" is.. we fade in games, the opposition get stronger.. I think its more to do with the aging first XI. 5 years ago nobody could compete with us for the last 20ins, now we can't live with anyone else. It's not a finger pointing game, the players are s...

All this season we've played well for an hour then faded, it's no coincidence and I said so after the Brighton game. He needs to bring the subs on on the hour mark, especially if we are winning. We are chucking points away out of SDs stubbornness. Potter and now Benitez making the good calls while w...

I love Ash, and his attitude, but he's best when he can bully defenders when we see little of the ball, such as Arsenal, Liverpool, City. Against most teams he isn't needed, and would be better from the bench. Vyds should have started this match, he would cause a hell of a lot more problems for Kean...

Colburn_Claret

Why Ben Gibson is included is a head shaker, surely you have to play to be classed as a flop.

Colburn_Claret

Against Everton I'd start Vyds instead of Ash. Apart from that its the same team.
Hopefully Cornet will be on the bench, even if he doesn't get used, and if we are losing late on, why not give him an opportunity.

So if you take a bunch of 8 year olds who have never played cricket, and give them all a bat and see how far they can hit a ball lobbed at them, you'd expect them all to be about the same? You wouldn't expect to see one lad carting the ball all over the shop while another lad can barely make contac...

Impossible to compare, simply because they are different times. It's natural to say George Best wouldn't look as good as Messi or Ronaldo, but could they have played as well as George on some of those old pitches, I doubt it. In 50 years time they'll probably be arguing that Ronaldo and Messi couldn...

I've always loved the Portillo Railway Journeys, both in this country and on the continent. They remind me of what a beautiful country we live in, and feeds the bug to go out and see for myself. I thought I knew Europe fairly well, but his European journey took in loads of fantastic spots I'd never ...

Dyches article on Defour was very interesting. Rather than Dyche fit, read team fit. A players needs to settle into the psyche of how the team plays, before he gets to start. I should think it will be easier for Roberts than Max, but I can understand the rationale behind it. I expect Cornet will fea...

I've bemoaned our technique for test cricket, for years.
But this is all down to a total lack of bottle. Embarrassing, and so predictable that 2 wickets quickly leads to 6.

He's entitled to ask what he wants, to me he comes across as a boat rocker. I'd have been happy to sign him, but not devastated that we didn't.

Just watched new version of question of sport Absolute drivel. Why change a winning format If it isn't broke don't mend it. To be fair the previous format was broke. It used to be a great quiz show, it's been farcical bilge for 10 years now. I appreciate the heads up though, I'll avoid the new show...

Cant take this window in isolation, because in the past couple of seasons they have added some big names on I suspect decent wages. Jamal Lewis,Wilson, Hendrick,Ryan Fraser, Willock all within a short period of each other

St Maxim, Joel Linton......

I can understand the anti Mike Ashley feeling, but like Darnhill, that's the way a club should be run.
Rather like bastards moaning about the Venkys, when clearly they are the only thing between them and oblivion.

I can't understand anyone being negative about BPF. He's played a few cameos in his time here, and has always looked decent enough. He's also performed well for NI in this period. The one time he looked poor, was when he came in for Nick at the end of last season. He needs more game time, which the ...

It's crazy. The league issue penalties, the independent commission sides with the clubs and the league are then forced to appeal.

Who comprise the independent panels Tony, do we know or is it some shady body.

Well deserved. It's been a good personal start from him, his consistency is improving, just need his stamina to improve and the £40mill player we talk about will be there.

It's not just Derby that need taking to task, the people in charge of the EFL, that are allowing this to roll on and on, need taking to task. Derby should have had the book thrown at them on more than one occasion, and still come out the **** smelling of roses. How unfair on all the other clubs that...

Excellent piece of business, sounds a real bargain at that price. I don't think it's just down to digging deeper into the pocket, whoever has done our scouting this summer appears to be a lot more in tune, with what is available, what we can afford, and who will fit into our system. We've done brill...

Pieters for Dwight, against Brighton was a no brainer. It was obvious Dwight was tiring, and it was obvious that Charlie couldn't do it all on his own. I thought he had a great game, just left with too much on his shoulders. The slip against Leeds was just one of those things.

Colburn_Claret

He could have been good, however, he wasn't! He let them get away with stuff a lot and us, just a bit. Barnes shirt was lucky it survived. Pen when Wood grounded at corner, as ball was in the air, just. I haven't seen a replay yet, but I thought the corner had been taken. I couldn't understand why ...

You've got to question the publicity department that issued the photo of him pointing at the umbro symbol. What were they thinking.

Colburn_Claret

And we won't see him in the first 11 for a good while, he has to be "fitness tested" ,"acclimatised" and "assessed" If he shows half the flair, and speed from his youtube appearances, he will be in the first team very quickly. JBG has started well this season, but I thought yesterday was his worst ...

Colburn_Claret

I thought he was awful the first 15 minutes, it felt like we were playing 12 men. After that he settled down and was very good imo. He let a lot go, some of the early ones when he shouldn't have, but he was even handed, and it does make the game flow better when players are left to roll around on th...

Colburn_Claret

I thought Ash had a decent game yesterday, caused lots of problems, which is what his main aim is, and linked up well enough with those around him. Barnes would be a sad loss to the team. Yes he has his limitations, but he also offers something that none of the other strikers offer. Just ask Jurgen,...

Theres no denying that the queues outside the Turf are 4 times as long as they used to be. Considering that you just scan your card and ticket it makes no sense. I missed a couple of minutes yesterday, I arrived no later than I did in seasons gone by. Unless thousands have decided to simultaneously ...

AMN, or Christie would be good. Look Lookman just doesn't fill me with enthusiasm. He's also shown a reluctance to come here.

Limited English, but sounds like he'll have enough to take the basics of the football pitch. Doesn't come across as really enthusiastic to be honest, but that could be as much to do with language barrier. I just think the more we can make him feel at home, the better he can be. I was a doubter that ...

Respect for other people's opinion.
You're not just booing BLM, you're booing the opinion of our players, our club, the town.
I don't think taking the knee takes the fight against racism forward, but booing those who do definitely takes the fight backwards.

Colburn_Claret

Be nice if that could be put to bed once and for all. Like it or not, booing is not the way. I don't like taking the knee. The problem with booing it, is people don't know why you're booing, so they put 2 and 2 together and make up their own reasons. So Burnley get painted with this racist label. A...

If we do get Cornet then I think any other player would not be a winger as with Ramsey we would have 4. It hopefully would be in CM as we only have 3 serious players there in Westwood, Cork and Brownhill (and as of yet Stephens has been largely injured, and still unknown re his qualities). I think ...

Just won another Gold at the Para Olympics.

8th Olympics, 15 Golds, loads of other medals, and in 2 events, swimming and cycling.
Every story in the paras is a success story, but hers is just phenomenal.

Colburn_Claret

Cornet is such a massive talent for our squad. I don’t understand why anyone cares who he wants to play for, if he signs on the dotted line he is a Burnley player and that’s it. This is a Steven Defour level signing we should all be buzzing You don't get a fit 26 yr old Steven Defour for 15 million...

Seriously?, which Burnley players, (other than maybe Pope) would get in the Arsenal team.
They are seriously underachieving as a "team" under Arteta.

If you think Mee and Tarks, aren't better than Holding and whoever else they have at centre back you need to give your head a shake.

Never seen a post or thread about this, surprisingly. I just wondered what people's opinion of his penalty were. Imo it was a blatant dive, he instigated the contact by leaving his leg behind, and was hitting the deck long before the keeper touched him. I missed MOTD2, so haven't a clue if they talk...

With Westwood and Vyds still doubtful for Sunday, it has to be the reserves. On this occasion no other choice.

Colburn_Claret

They have a lot of expensive players, but a lot of average players. Which of the other, so called, big 6 have players that couldn't get into Burnleys starting XI. The biggest laugh for me was to see the Emirates half empty. The first game fans could attend in 2 years and so many stayed at home, agai...

Not paying the going rate has lost us signings previously. Too often we tried to penny pinch and lost out Maybe the approach will differ under the present board It can only be classed as penny pinching if we had the money and refused to spend it. The truth is far more likely that clubs wanted more ...
