I like him. He's been a good chairman for Stanley and harks back to a simpler time. When tinpot local businessmen ran their local clubs and upset folk. There's something almost romantic about it, in today's corporately corrupt world with faceless, foreign owners.

Cracking film but a poor ending. When the truth is revealed about his brother, that should have been the ending. But, it was too similar to Sixth Sense and would have been right called out for it. So there is the superfluous scene were Paddy Considine gets the guy to stab him in a kind of assisted s...

I know the price of everything goes up due to inflation etc. But I'd like to see the comparative prices from say, the 80's. I know football has risen well above its historic pricing, when a paper boy could get on the match with his wages. How much has alcohol risen in the same time?

groove

It's The Premier League I'm afraid. It's not a place for the football purist. It has an inevitability that sucks the passion and enthusiasm out of your soul. I watched Blackburn v PNE on Friday night and it was a cracking game. The game flowed without every decision being micro analysed. End to end ...

I try not to let the TV influence anything in my life.

Our style of play was good enough last season though wasn't it. It seems everyone on this thread wants a return to the austere pragmatism that most of us agree had gotten stale. I'm backing whatever VK does. I think eventually this plan, whatever it is will come good.

Always liked this Pretenders song. Only recently discovered it was a Kinks track.

Fully agree with the above comments. This site is the first place I go to for Clarets news.

Plenty of bands go through line up changes. Oasis are a prime example of that. Depeche Mode, the Cure, Genesis the list goes on. Are you saying there is no worth to them once a change happens? Interesting point. It appears some bands can do it and some can't. I think some band members are so intrin...

Great stuff this. Accy Clarets are a credit to BFC.

I can understand why they have said no Palestine or Israel flags, but what about half and half scarves? I think it's a great idea and would get us some positive exposure.

Is this some AI thing?

Any points deduction would start the following season. I still think they'll squirm out of it. Major payers in The Premier League TV show. Football at this level is corrupt to the core.

If it takes 5 minutes to decide if he was level, he must've been level.

My missus left me because I was obsessed with football. We'd only been married 2 seasons.

Great news. The SPL is a hotbed of talent, as you can see by the Scottish national team.

If the "vast majority" of fans oppose it, presumably there will be a lot of empty seats on the day which will be the best way possible of getting the message across. That's the thing with football fans. They are loyal to the point of stupidity. That loyalty overrides rationale, and they don't vote ...

the truth is conspiracy theorists are more interested in the conspiracy than the truth.

Sometimes the conspiracy is the truth.

look what social media has done. it is turning society mental. Social Media and Mainstream Media are just the same really. They create different extremes.

The trouble nowadays is that when an event like this happens, I'm sceptical if it really happened or if it was somehow allowed to happen. Yiu can't trust the media. All these type of events bring up debate on the 2nd Ammendment, as has happened on this thread. If Americans lose the right to bare arm...

Football at the highest level is just a TV show. Supporters are merely unpaid extras, and don't really matter.

Cracking film on Netflix. 'Gold", starring Matthew McConaughey.

It's not about making the traffic flow better, it's about making it easier for pedestrians and cyclists.

It's another attack on the motorist, that's what it is.

Maybe for the Football League but for Greaves to say that when he played alongside Blanchflower says everything.

Of course. Praise indeed.

Jimmy Greaves told me that Jimmy Mac was the finest player he ever played with or against - that will do for me.

Did they ever play in the same side?

Any points deduction would probably start the following season, wouldn't it?

The more the season goes on the more convinced I am that this season is a cat walk to show off our players on the big stage so we can sell them all for huge profit, regardless of the outcome of the season. I don’t truly believe there’s any real intention of staying up this year. This has crossed my...

There’s plenty of other Oasis tribute acts on up and down the country so don’t worry if you missed out on these tickets At least he's performing as LG and not Oasis. One of my biggest gripes is bands continuing to trade on the name when massive changes are made to the line up. For example Big Count...

I never join the inevitable clamour for tickets for events like this. Tickets will become available nearer the time of the gig, without a doubt. Check fb fan sites and twickets.

Burnley folk pronounce their “i,s” as “a’s” ie - Burnley folk say “what tame is it” instead of “what time is it” or going to the bar to order a “Pant” instead of “pint” Had a barmaid in Burnley once asking me if I would like “ass” in my drink - my reply was “well, if you are offering love” !!!!

Sorry.

The pronunciation he's trying to explain is impossible to type. I know exactly what he means. Burnley accents pronounce their I's differently. It's more of an ahh than an aye.

The Blackburn/Accy accent is what described as rhotic. This means the R's are very prominent. Not very common in England. But common in Ireland and the USA. Can only presume it comes from the influx if Irish immigrants in the 1800's, as a previous poster pointed out. My Dad did the family tree thing...

groove

The Blackburn/Accy accent is more or less the same. In fact I'd say the whole of Hyndburn is the same. The accent changes once you get past Baxenden, when it takes on a Rossendale twang. I can only presume Blackburn was a bit more accessible to Accy folk. And when you consider Oswaldtwistle is conti...

I've seen a few teams do it lately. Maybe it's a psychological thing, trying to intimate the opposition. It asserts readiness. As soon as we come out the tunnel we see what are up against. Ready, waiting.

For me it's got to be when we score. Especially an important goal, like against Blackburn for example. It's a strange feeling when you think about it. Its almost orgasmic. You kind of lose yourself for a few moments as a primeval surge of energy races through your body. It's utter joy mixed with rel...
