the guy has serious quality - if he's the standard that Pace is looking to bring in then it is essential we stay up, I knew the first one today wouldn't count because he doesn't do tap ins !!

Hope we go shopping in France again in January!

i'm normally positive and that first half was incredibly good. Second half was awful tactically. Before you jump all over that consider we were giving them absolutely nothing in the first half and could have been 5 or 6 up. Second half was a clear tactical decision to defend what we had got. What w...

JohnDearyMe

Yeah we haven't played badly most games but we are clearly low on confidence. That's not like us and we need to shake it quick. Sadly Garlicks fattening up for the sale left us with a lot to manage. Depressingly he has undone all his previous good work by his refusal to invest the money Dyche earne...

Very strange decision to take Tucker off

Maybe done with a view to a squad appearance on Wednesday?

JohnDearyMe

Is Gomez Mancini injured or out on loan somewhere?

JohnDearyMe

Good to see Lowton put in a great cross for our first. Crossing from our first choice full backs has generally been poor. Hopefully the added competition of Roberts is pushing him on.

Any recommendations for away friendly pubs ( preferably with real ale on) pre/after match please?

It's about a 25 min walk from the ground and going away from the city centre but Olaf's Tun is a decent real ale place

JohnDearyMe

Great to read these reports. Always keep an eye out on the attendances generally gradually increasing as the season progresses

What happened to Graham Lancashire’s career? I know he did my sister’s garden a few years ago and then got a job with BFC but I don’t know what that was. I met him once at my sister’s and he seemed a grand bloke who didn’t have anything wrong to say about Burnley. I always thought we missed a trick...

However it is certainly not what many posters on here make it out to be. For example I never saw anyone get beheaded or stoned to death in the street.

That's good to hear. I'll drop Amnesty International a line on Monday and ask them to stand down

Out of interest John have you ever been to Saudi?

No. I studied Middle Eastern politics at university though

JohnDearyMe

Listening to the radio yesterday and apparently they've had 14 years of turmoil. Makes you think what the country's just had for the last 18 months and what seemingly lies ahead for the foreseeable future. I'd argue it makes the suffering of the Saudi Arabian people seem insignificant by comparison...

We were trying to sign him in 2014 after the first promotion.

Do you know if we came close to meeting their valuation? Would have been a top signing back then

JohnDearyMe

So can I but: I bet I'm not the only one who never buys a drink at half time, because I generally like to take my time drinking it. Unless you're at the front of the queue, it can be a good few minutes before you get served, and there's no way I'm going to drink / enjoy a pint in less than 10 minut...

I thought we had a decent transfer window. We just need Roberts and Cornet back fit.

Time for Cork to be brought back in too?

Indeed! they were 3rd in the Championship when Steve Kean got the boot, and look at how their fortunes have dipped since.

I never would have guessed that! Presumed they were lower-mid table

JohnDearyMe

Good value offer for two very important matches

JohnDearyMe

Lancs lost their heads in those closing overs, thankfully Vilas maintained his composure to steer us home, but we almost grabbed defeat from the jaws of victory. Whatever we'll be in the BWT, although having glanced at the forecast I sadly fear rain will win the day come next week. Do you happen to...

And FIFA always denied there was nothing untoward about how that World Cup was awarded. What a fiasco. Major countries should have simply boycotted it and arranged an opposing tournament. No football history. No stadia. 50 degree summer temperatures. Disruption to leagues due to winter playing. Not...

JohnDearyMe

Only ever saw him as a tv pundit but what i liked about him was that he never took football too seriously. Wonder what he made of the po-faced coverage and over the top analysis of the Sky TV era?

Diving header - Cork's winner away at Preston

JohnDearyMe

Good news. Hope a few like Collins get a run-out against Rochdale

JohnDearyMe

Pope 6
Lowton 5
Taylor 5
Tarks 6
Mee 6
Westwood 4
Brownhill 4
Mc Neil 6
Gudmunson 4
Wood 4
Barnes 4

Interesting to see some fairly high marks for Taylor. He motors down the wing a lot but he hardly ever picks out a Burnley man with a cross for all the good positions he gets in

Everton 3 Burnley 0 (Calvert Lewin)

JohnDearyMe

It’s been a great year, I’m already on a huge downer now the seasons finished. Absolutely hate it, rainy weekends, even worse when Burnley fc games get moved. I spend all weekend on the cricket, my whole family and friends do, roll on next season! Well done Burnley! Agree with you about the melanch...

JohnDearyMe

Yes I do wonder if this farce will mark the beginning of the end for test cricket, already it's seen by some as a nuisance, and many clubs and now seemingly countries value the white ball formats way higher than the traditional form of the game, as someone who relishes the ebb and flow of a 5 day m...

I shall be doing none of the above. Peace and love. So not even these ones? Be respectful to others in your vicinity. Follow good hygiene practices at all time. Ensuring your mouth and nose is covered if you need to cough or sneeze. They seem like basic steps that any civilised individual should be...

No interest in football, didn’t even know Bury had a team but didn’t Dale pay £1 for the club and thought he could profit from it?

Very odd.

Some will be better than others but it makes you thankful for owners who are at least fans

JohnDearyMe

I don't know if he speaks Polish but if he doesn't I'd wonder how he'd integrate into their national team? As you say though, it's a shame he's not managed too much international football

JohnDearyMe

And the Neville brothers whinged and whinged about people helping Bury, the club they support, while at the same time they were chucking money into a club five miles down the road. Having said that, why should they or a big club offer to help Bury? No, the big clubs couldn't have saved them, unless...

Only ever been to Krakow in Poland (which was really interesting) but Warsaw has been on my list for a while

If Gudmundsson stays fit he’s a similar player to Christie anyway.

I do like JBG but can he deliver an incisive pass in the same way that Brady could do in his purple patch with us? Let's hope so.

JohnDearyMe

It's a decent window. One player who ought to improve the first eleven immediately, and depth and succession planning in a couple of areas, plus a couple of stop gaps in Lennon and Hennesey. That's fine. But we're still a bit short on technical quality in midfield/up front, particularly given the d...

. I’d imagine I’ll start going again soon, now that my kids are wanting to go, I’ve just sort of lost that bug, particularly when we get beat by most away from home. Stop worrying about what others think of our support btw :lol: That’s twice in a week Far more chance of seeing us get a win away fro...

I'm friends with a couple of Villa fans. They say he started off really well for them but was then out for ages with an innocuous injury. After that he wasn't interested. Seems like he has a few motivational issues. On the other hand though if he had been firing on all cylinders at Villa then he'd b...

Now this has really given the place a lift. Exciting signing

JohnDearyMe

Hopefully Cornet is decent and can be successfully converted back into a winger. Hopefully not the last one in either. I still think we’re looking at fielding the usual XI for several more months yet, barring injuries, and that’s a concern. Agreed, good start in boosting the starting XI along with ...

Eagles was one of those players that falls into the “too good for the Championship, but not quite Premier League level” I remember him being excellent away at West Ham in the Premier League. Another 5 minutes and we might have managed a draw despite the awful first half. Can't remember any other st...

A love/ hate relationship with brother Phil for many years but they did get back together which enabled me to see them in Preston. So talented and perhaps the only time the word 'goofed' has appeared in the lyrics of a pop song. RIP, Don. Can you think of any songs that use the phrase "gee whizz"?

Can defo see the Will Hughes link happening. A Burnley type signing....although Watford fans seem to think he's worth much more than the 5m quoted

Was just going to ask about that. Is he out of contract soon? Seems a modest price for a fairly established top flight midfielder

Very simple. Had some early promise. Not as good as we thought. One foot. No pace.

Have you had some interaction with him in your personal life? You do seem to have some sort of personal vendetta against him going off previous visits to this site

Few thoughts; The use of the black and grey is a major improvement and gives the place a far more modern look. Obviously we could paint all the walls and clad all the buildings in claret and blue but that would look extremely tacky, and age in no time. The black paint is harder to vandalise and the...
