At least we should be spared the sight of England players being booed because of their club side. No chance of bastards having any players linked with the England set up....

Was it Ian Pearce who was booed at the Turf?

I used to play in the same team as Trip for Geoff Heaps lot. He used to have about 300 signed on with some right ringers. Vince Overson used to play some games. The best one was in 96 when we brought Padiham's West Indian fast bowling pro to play a top of the league clash against one of the very go...

Yeah he played at Lowerhouse, Burnley and Baxenden in the Ribb league. Was a regular down at Towneley on the Tuesday nights too. You used to get some quite tasty players in the midweek leagues in both Burnley and Pendle. I played against a number of Nelson and Colne first teamers on a concrete wick...

Chesterfield at home last game of the 1982 season, kick off delayed, Norman Jones on the pitch with a fork trying to help the drainage. Had there not been so much at stake i don't think that game would have gone ahead. Kevin Young almost ankle deep in standing water infront of the Longside And who c...

Don't know if anyone saw The One Show yesterday evening, but they had a feature on a bloke in South Wales who had set up a football boot exchange programme. I think the premise behind it is when a child grows out of football boots, they donate them to the programme who then distribute to children wh...

All those three and

Hull away - 1983
Millwall away - 2001
Chelsea away - 2017

The Wycombe one was ridiculous given the time of year.

Ah yes. Millwall and Chelsea. Both memorable for different reasons, other than collecting 3 points and opposition dismissals in both games.

Everyone always remembers the hot, the cold and the wet days.

Hot days:
Watford away 1997 first game under Waddle
Wycombe away Valentine's Day 1998 i think - shirt sleeves in February
Palace at home first game 2003 season

TicketySplit is a great site for that kind of shenanigans https://www.ticketysplit.co.uk/ I don't think it would have worked on this one as Stevenage is 2 stations (but only 10 minutes) in the opposite direction, but the benefit is it makes the Leeds leg direct. Just checked and the best they can d...

A very good start from England but as always, don't judge a pitch until both teams have batted on it....

Just booked train tickets for the Norwich game on 2 Oct. Arlesey(my nearest station) to Burnley was nearly £100, change at Peterborough and Leeds. A bit of playing around and I managed to get Stevenage to Leeds for £20 return and then Leeds to Burnley £12 return, £32 in total. Result.

I've always found Asda to be just about the worst the supermarket sector has to offer. Horrible.

And now it is owned by 2 brothers from Blackburn, even more reason to avoid the place.

Given our usual approach to cup competitions (exit at the earliest opportunity) can we not forfeit the game and avoid the risk of injury to an already inadequate squad?

Just discussing old Burnley games and i mentioned my second ever game I think was a 0-0 v Man City in 1976, a game in which Dennis Tueart took 3 penalties. I included him on a list of ex City players signed by John Bond who were poor signings then i looked up his record. 8 appearances, 7 sub appeara...

I'm sure most will have seen it, but BBC North West were doing Vox-Pops in Liverpool asking for memories of the FA Cup 5th Round tie between Everton & Liverpool in 1967, when reporter Stuart Flinders stopped an older gent, " I played in it !

Dreadful challenge. A leg breaker.

It's got to play a part that the wage cap was abolished the season after Burnley won the league. As a 'manager' managing the players and club, Dyche has got to be up there with any manager. I can't think of another who has done so well with so little. Sean Dyche has had more money than all our othe...

Not seen it mentioned elsewhere but I saw on the news this morning that Terry McDermott has announced he has dementia.

Wigan also had one disallowed which was practically a carbon copy of their 1st goal with Pearce fumbling at it. I wonder if this game was the final straw for Casper/Mullen with Pearce. Pearce could be a great shot stopper but he just seemed to get worse and worse with crosses. If you watch the Burn...

Midnight on the Mississippi... 1973..way out in the backwoods..pulled in a couple of 5lb ish bluecats in the sticky humid moonlight wearing only an old pair of denim shorts.

I felt like Tom Sawyer.

You caught a fish that was wearing denim shorts?

The problem we have is that our strongest midfield is weaker than nearly, if not all, other Premier League sides. Something that cannot be said of other areas. At the back Pope and Tarky and possibly Mee would get in a number of other starting 11s. Up front Chris Wood and possibly Vydra the same. It...

I watched the end of the game on the video link and can't believe what the commentator came out with. Must be 50 Lowerhouse fans on the pitch, each with 6 fingers. And then a random "shithouse". Very poor.

Bloke lived up our street (a few doors up from Eli and family) who was a huge Elvis fan.

You can read it 3 ways. 1st it's just generic drivel and doesn't amount to anything. 2nd is that it's good he's placing the transfer window above it with priorities. 3rd it's bad that he's so relaxed and is trusting in Dyche when if things go tits up and he gets a good offer he'll be off with no co...

I can’t remember where it was but he once jumped up and hit his head on the top of the dug out leaving him requiring treatment. He had a big cut on the top of his head.

Wasn't it the 4-1 win at White Hart Lane in 1983?

Agreed. Experienced horizontal rain back in 1986 there. Stood under the shelter and still got soaked. Felt like I had had a stroke after the game, right side of my face frozen.

We had some great players in the 81/82 side. Laws, Phelan, Overson, Trevor and big Billy up front.
