Missing link!

Who is the Burnley player at 30 seconds in? Was it Frank Casper? He was at BFC with Willie Morgan for one season, so it could have been.

Edit: Trevor has the answer in the previous post.

Benson and Zaroury are creating a lot of transfer interest and speculation because they are both very good players and quite a few big teams would be overjoyed to have them in their team .:: I wonder if Larson and Tresor were available it would create the same level of phone calls desperate to sign...

Probably more like 15,000 than 18,000 looking at the total gate and the normal Preston gates at the time… unless the attendance was under reported. It’s not likely the largest though. We reportedly had 22,000 at Ewood in 1913 for an FA Cup game, and well over 20,000 when we won the title at Maine R...

What has been our biggest away following? City one of the times that we have played them in the FA Cup? Utd in the Carabao Cup? Sheffield United in the FA Cup? Liverpool in the Milk Cup? The smallest away following I have been a part of was when we played Middlesborough away midweek in the Milk Cup...

I'd have thought we'd be joint 19th with Luton.

He won't be living in Blackburn, just like our players don't live in Burnley

Manchester, no doubt. I'd much rather live in certain areas of London than anywhere there.

A former Claret may be on the move. Blackburn want to sign Jimmy Dunne from QPR (BBC Gossip column)

Is he out of favour at QPR? I'd much rather live in London if I was him.

Their average crowd is vastly inflated by giving away teams up to 7000 tickets, unlike anybody else in the division.

I didn't think about that. Quite a few Championship teams have huge away followings given the possibility. The away fans there must make so much more noise than Rovers'.

Quicknick

It's interesting that at 15,428 their average gate is the lowest in the Division except for soon to be relegated Rotherham. So thanks to the Venkys they are actually punching well above their weight in terms of income. 15,428 is a decent average for the Championship. Didn't we get promoted with few...

Honestly this kind of comment pisses me off. Ive been over here 30 years, if I call my sister in 10 minutes my Burnley comes back, but it doesn’t necessarily because she’s lived in Durham married to a Wearsider for 25 years so it’s sort of a hodgepodge. If I go back to Kentucky in 10 minutes my Ken...

Quicknick

Portugal Thanks. Just googled him. He lived for a while in Lagos where I have an apartment and played for Esperanca de Lagos's youth team. Their old ground is just down from where I lived. The new ground is a soulless affair on the eastern edge of the town. In the late '70s, Esperanca used to get c...

If he hasn't done anything illegal, what's the big deal?

6ft4 CB to partner O'Shea/Ekdal, Beyer to right back

I'll go with that

Is Beyer fit?

the best bit of transfer business in the bottom half of the table was Luton signing Barkley on a rumoured 30K a week - he's the exception though at talent to wages, stunning business by them, fair play to them for taking the risk on him.

Agreed. It's who we should have got.

Quicknick

Good to hear he liked it so much at Turf Moor.

Quicknick

What a truly great footballer. RIP, Franz.

What is white noise?

Try box breathing. Works well for me.

Also seems the Saudi football league dream will be over soon enough seems a few want away, guess this is like a china from a few years ago

Also, there isn't much fun to be had in Saudi.

The team plays better with Muric .. if Trafford has a good game it’s usually because the defence is having a mare and he pulls off a handful of saves

That is a very difficult claim to substantiate with stats as he has only played in the cups.

Quicknick

I hope he's okay. He makes such a difference to us.

Quicknick

Muric is a very good goalkeeper, but the throw out resulted in the goal. Definitely his fault and had Trafford done that, this board would be in uproar. At least, sections of it would be.

Quicknick

Another interesting footnote from that round is that Carlisle knocked out Sunderland after a replay at Roker Park when ( I think? ) Sunderland were the holders. I bet they were two tasty matches. I also went to the Grimsby match and my memory of the game is that not only were the crowd vociferous t...

Because homeownership is such a new aspiration of young people and never was before now… Easy to criticise by those who most likely bought a house for pittance decades ago and now sit on a nice golden nest egg. But they seem to expect a house when they are very young. I was 32 before I got on the p...

Quicknick

I genuinely think Anass simply lacks that explosive pace off the mark needed at this level in his position. His end product also seemed to take a real dip post World Cup, again, in my opinion. No doubting he has talent, but unfortunately for him, he now has Koleosho and Odobert rightly ahead of him...

Quicknick

Agreed. Benson was our ticket out of the Championship and, given a chance, when fit could turn it on in the PL- or be essential next year. Zaroury - well it's been the best part of a year since his best games so a move may be better for all I don't understand why Zaroury faded out. He looked like t...

Quicknick

Yes, actually, I can see your point, Tim. Altrincham would be nice to see in the league. And I agree about Crawley. Get rid of them. I didn't know FGR used to be Stroud. Good rock band from Stroud, incidentally: Pendragon.

Quicknick

Burnley are interested in a move for Hearts captain, Lawrence Shankland, with the likes of Everton, Sheffield United, Crystal Palace,, Southampton, Celtic, Hull City and Middlesbrough also watching the in-form striker https://twitter.com/TurfCastPodcast/status/1742517725811892554?t=FWrco1Z4qUB3YSdT...

I always find this a very strange position to take. Seasons like last year happen as a result of our regular involvement in the premier league. Unless you’re pining for days of bimbling around the bottom half of the championship.

Or even worse, the bottom two divisions.

If only we can keep him next season, he could go on to be regarded as our best striker ever.

I like Benson. Don’t want to sell. I do think he is a bit soft though. Has anyone else seen him putting a gum shield in before coming on? I have.

Why does a gumshield make him soft?

Very sad news.

Benson was a game changer. Hasn’t been given an opportunity this season. Which is mind boggling considering how ineffective our new signings (bar Koleosho and Odebert) have been.

Koleosho and Odebert being the two players ahead of him, slection wise.
