Not living in the town I was wondering if Bernley Tea (spelt differently to Burnley) had any connection with Burnley. My son , recently returned from a holiday in Russia , and knowing I am a fan of the team, brought me some back as a gift. The package shows our Houses of Parliament which would seem ...

Rising Damp deserves a mention as one of the best. (Freeview has many repeats of previous comedies but to watch them is a bit painful and sad as they have not 'aged' well. I watched a repeat of a couple of 'Fawlty Towers' episodes only yesterday and was surprised how I no longer found them even mild...

I do wonder if the emotion surrounding the game played a part in this decision. The home fixture and remembering the death of the owner in such a fashion could have swayed the decision makers to 'reward' Leicester and enjoy the celebration of 'no goal.' By any reasonable yardstick it was a perverse ...

I too think the goal at Everton was the best team goal but for sheer atmosphere, skill , re-action from the stands and long in the memory, it has to be Robbie's against Man Utd.

I too was diagnosed with this type of cancer. I was assured that both types of treatment had an equal chance of success so I chose radio therapy as I did not fancy surgery and having to wear a 'bag' for a couple of weeks. I have since learnt that even surgery is not always of itself sufficient and n...

What a terrible irony that children in the 'care' of Nottingham City and Nottingham County were abused for years and not believed while a fantasist

Didn't John hit a post in the last minutes of the one match he played in the World cup ? A header I think. Ifs and buts I know but if that had gone in then it would have been a win for England and John would probably have kept his place

The word 'elegant' is not one often used to describe a player but that is how I thought Dobbo was when on the pitch. I was heartbroken when he was sold to Everton, ( and much later when the club ended their association with him.)

Before we get to sanctimonious let's remember that Burnley FC shirt sponsors are a betting company and the Club are therefore part of the process that is condemned on here (rightly ) that leads many people into addiction, debt, and family breakdown actively linked to the betting industry.

It has been trialled and basically was a failure. There was a pre-season competition in the 70's called the Watney Cup and as an experiment there was no offside rule. It took defenders about half an hour to get to grips with it and the hope that it would lead to more attacking football and hence mor...

Whilst there is something inadvertently humorous in this scam it will, no doubt, worry some who will respond and then suffer for their actions. There is more than a hint of blaming the victim for their losses from some of the replies on here. The fault is with the criminals behind these scams and no...

Just to be clear I was writing about what was legal in America with partial birth abortion and not in this country. I mentioned it because this debate is about what is happening in America and it may just be that the opposition to abortion is (perhaps) in part, a re-action to partial birth abortion ...

There was a time when abortion was illegal in recognition of the child in the womb having no voice or 'choice.' If there was such a choice would it choose for its own death? Six weeks is NOT a bunch of cells it is a formed baby with all of the characteristics it would have if it went to full term. A...

Dyched states: 'A woman as the inalienable right to do whatever she likes with her body.'

The problem here are that there are two bodies involved and two innocent victims.

The aim of any club is to better itself. It is proved that by not aiming for the best you end up with the worst. These are fantastic times for the Club and for supporters. Burnley FC are now getting a reputation as for how a Club should be run in the PL. I am at a loss as to why some on here cannot ...

As it was explained to me the 'unlocking' was automatic for ICE alone if ICE was accessed. I have not confirmed if this is the case.

You could try selling your penis pump as opposed to throwing it away. Probably more economic to rent it out at a modest rate, you could charge 'by the inch.'

claret59

I may be in the majority of one but I learnt last night what the initials ICE stand for on mobile phones. Most of those at the meeting were , like me, ignorant of it so perhaps some on here might not be aware they stand for 'In Case of Emergency.' Evidently it allows for a phone to be used to record...

There was some underlying reason that was used to justify this travesty of justice. Wasn't it supposed to be concern that Charlton fans would use the situation to draw attention to their plight at that time and cause problems? Never even likely to happen but even if it was the Cup should have been w...

St .George is the patron Saint of about 10 other countries as well as England. The country of Georgia is named after him so I guess they have a public holiday on his feast day! A long way to go though for an extra day off, (unless you happen to live in Georgia.)

Luiz should have been booked for his foul on Barnes. He obviously waited for his moment and then launched himself at the back of Barnes from behind with the benefit of a 'run up'' to add momentum to the challenge and with no intention to do other than to foul him. He could have seriously injured Bar...

Was Campbell ever a member of Parliament?

His salary is not the issue. It is no doubt what has been negotiated with his club. I cannot imagine some sort of clause in it that he has to be prepared to tolerate racist abuse in return for his wages! Something meaningful has to be done to stop this racist abuse. Fines are of no effect unless in ...

Not all scientists are atheists. The last time a survey was done on this topic (that I am aware of, can't give a date but relatively recently,) the majority were not atheists. I realise that any such survey cannot be limited to just one question and there has to be many shades of opinion and how dee...

I thought that religious subjects on this site were to be avoided and with good cause. Nearly all of the posts so far have been attacking religious faith and in so doing attack people who adhere to a faith. It is not that long ago that homophobic posts were the norm and racial abuse echoed down arou...

There may be sound reasons as to why this youth player was not kept on the books at Burnley. Is it not the hope of all fans that a goal scorer will be unearthed form their club's youth system? Michael seemed to be one of those 'in the making.' We have Ageyie scoring lots of goals in the U23's but no...

I Have tried to keep pace with all this so may have missed it but has anyone mentioned the film, based on a real incident , called a' Cry in The Dark'?

On the subject of slave labour during WW2 how on earth did Albert Speer avoid the noose and go on to be fated and welcomed in the TV studios of the UK? Similarly the Nazi rocket makers who used thousands of slave workers in building the V1's and V2's went on to live lives of luxury in the US.

I go back a long way when it comes to supporting the Clarets and can recall when they had a season 'curtain raiser' called the Watney Cup. Sponsored by Watney's Beer. Can you still get it? Anyway the idea was to have a trophy to play for before the season started and was meant to replace meaningless...

All those seeking a cashless society are hastening in the end of the world. It has all been prophesied that this is one of the 'signs' that will happen and then the end is nigh. Stop and turn back to cash alone while there is still time or we are all doomed.

It is worth considering that there were no significant transfers among any of the Pl Clubs in the last window. (The one exception being Sala to Cardiff with very sad outcomes.) Perhaps a bit of a realisation that the clear evidence of where overspending on transfers can lead to. Also we hear a lot m...

Whilst not a matter of decisions going against us we need to remember that Fulham 'scored' our two goals in their defeat on the Turf. Both of them were not direct deflections or as a result of horrendous defending. A 1-0 defeat for us was on the cards from a fantastic bit of skill on their account. ...

Some ( the vast majority,) of posts on this topic are quite shameful. With the exception of Newcastle ( and sadly Cardiff,) no other PL club has done much business of any magnitude in this window. Running a football club is easy if you are sat on the side lines saying what should be done but it is a...

A number of factors. Firstly both Chairmen made a deal to share the gate receipts no matter what the end result. This to my mind indicated a lack of belief from the start. However Burnley had had quite a few good results prior to the game playing just one striker up front (Taylor I think was the sol...

Hull have possibly signed on loan Marc Pugh as a replacement in anticipation of Bowen being transferred. I live quite near Hull and see some of their games and Bowen is a good player. Has bags of skill, runs at defenders and scores quite a few goals. He would be a great signing for the Clarets and h...

The vitriol exhibited on here by some posters is shocking. When discussing this issue among family, friends and strangers do we really show such hatred to an opposing view to our own? A hatred that is almost personal. Is this a natural way to go about things? I hope not and I have no experience of i...

There is no such thing as a 'bogey team.' It is inevitable that results against some teams will vary one way or another especially when playing against them so often. Sometimes that variance appears excessive but that is just the nature of things.
