Is it just me or are there one or two claims on here that sound like complete BS? 🤔 Sorry you feel this way - it was some 40+ years ago, when I was working in West Cumbria. I used to go and watch "Der Reds" in mid-week when they had a home match - Colin Blant was playing at the back for them at the...

If you take out penalties Harry Kane only has two for England.

Mentioning Harry Kane and penalties really should be a no, no.

Scoring the only goal in a 5-1 defeat in the Barnoldswick derby for Rainhall Road School against Gisburn Road School in 1962, aged 9. News of that achievement must have been noticed by the eminent Football League Club Workington Town, 'cos I received a phone call 13 years later asking if I'd like to...

Reportedly a link in the Mail (yes I know), Burnley in the hunt to sign Japan striker Keito Nakamura, 22, from LASK (Austria).

Borussia Dortmund, Liverpool and Aston Villa also interested.

Now i did convince the wife to travel to Afganistan in 93 , we we stayed 3 nights in Jalalabad the hotel room ( if you could call it that ) had no windows a broken Russian fridge and shrapnel holes all over the walls and door .

Whatever the view - be it shite, magnificent or anywhere in between, there is one thing I do know:

He didn't score last night (again).

I never talk about myself. The people that do are full of themselves and egotistical. I perfer people who are self-effacing and modest, like myself.

A modest man, with much to be modest about.

Putin dies and goes to hell, but after a while, he is given a day off for good behaviour. So he goes to Moscow, enters a bar, orders a drink, and asks the bartender: -Is Crimea ours? -Yes, it is. -And the Donbas? -Also ours. -And Kyiv? -We got that too. Satisfied, Putin drinks, and asks: -Thanks, ho...

Bobby Collins, Billy Bremner and Norman Hunter....possible the three most cowardly, dirty players I have ever seen on a football field.

I'd take issue with that.

For me I'd step it up to probably, and if the number were 4 then the other one would be Johnny Giles.

Claret Toni

Don't get me wrong, I'm a huge Maatsen fan. I enjoy his speed to the ball and I'm a fan of his close control and how he progresses the ball. However, although clearly improving, he still has much to learn on the defensive side of his game. I'm amazed we've offered £15m for him - but then again I don...

I think we all worked that one out a few hours ago, Claret Toni......it was 158. That did occur to me ever so briefly but I then wondered how a winning score might be achieved: Dobson chose Eric Probert and Mellor as his openers but after scoring a single Mellor fell to David Pollard and then a con...

Copied for the actual match report shown by Grimsdale: Read were all out for 58, with their top scorers being Frank Newby (27), Malcolm Grainger (26) and Neil Snape (16). Maths may not be my strongest point and cricket has some interesting ways, but I'm struggling to understand a Read score of 58 wh...

Ruiz is from Seville which is a much nicer city than Paris anyway so he's already shown he's willing to downgrade

Is this a suggestion that Burnley is a downgrade on Paris.

Sacre bleu.

Probably a Welsh man but moved to Bickerstaffe.

...anyway wasn't it contradiction, not bickering.

I'm a bit gullible myself, but I get around that by ignoring all links or copied and pasted stuff that I see online; intead I just rely on what's posted directly to the UTC messageboard, that way I can be sure it's not coming from some troll, bullshooter wind-up merchant or moron. :lol: :lol: :lol:...

Yeah but what do the 4 times world cup winners Germany know about football.

Woodleyclaret has this lad sussed.

Claret Toni

So in spite of Vinnie signing a new 5 year contract it looks like he's chosen the money, glamour and prestige over the honour and privilege of doning the famous claret and blue.

Well each to his own. I just hope he doesn't live to regret it.

We move on to the next target. Declan Rice anyone?

Claret Toni

.. and another one was Wayne thug Thomas.

It will be forever one of life's enduring mysteries that Southampton paid us £1,000,000 for him.

Claret Toni

Amazed there's been no mention of Tony 'kin Hancock. It's possible that he was a good lad and nice to his mum, which I don't know about but, perhaps sadly, I'm not too keen on players who aren't very good and don't put a shift in. Tony Hancock, at the very pinnacle of his Burney career struggled to ...

Rumoured to be linked with Torino's Yann Karamoh, a left winger. Competition for Annas?

I've read it Toni. You made an inflammatory remark about cyclists, and said "Oh I'm not into rants". I didn't say "Oh I'm not into rants". If you further re-read you will see that I wrote "I try not to get into driving rants". I regret you did not and do not appreciate the just jesting context, but...

You're very brave in your metal box with your seatbelts, airbags, roll cages etc. What if you had a family member keen on cycling?

Please re-read my comment. You will see the words "Just jesting" - i.e. not to be taken seriously.

That nutmeg from Muric- insane.

I was feeling uneasy watching him being closed down and then that happens, just shook my head, couldn't believe what I'd seen. Even had to ask my mate 'cos I thought my eyes were deceiving me.

Cyclists aka targets

Born in Singapore, so it was obvious I'd be a Claret although, being brought up in Barnoldswick might have a smidgen to do with it.

Does anybody else have this problem?- I either wake up in the middle of the night or just plain can't get to sleep. The problem is I keep dreaming that we won the Football League by beating B.Rovetsbat their place. Sometimes I wake up laughing in the night. Other times I start chuckling just as I'm...

Thought he would have gone to a scotch club.

70 and responding as an over 60, not an old 'un.

Still go out for a run most days, but now use the car instead of the legs.

Perhaps I am an old 'un.

His mate MO could give him a few hints on what to do if a summer move doesn't come about, to ensure it goes through in January.

Could save us a bit of money too

If you're watching the Rovers game today here's a (genuine) link that I definitely haven't just made up:

Absolutely priceless, how much piffle and pomp is ingrained in this my country, where a monarch asks that I give true allegiance to him and his heirs. Not putting him on a par with Putin, but isn't that what, in effect, is the case in Russia. I've had no personal dealings with the King and I do know...

When City are involved it's usually a nightmare.

Not seen much of a mention about Matthew Lowton recently- anyone any news?

There's one hell of a Gap between Burnley and t'Rovers.

Suspect the horse fiddlers weren't best pleased to read that Vinnie "further strengthened his squad in January".

My Rovers mate text me first before I got chance to text him to congratulate us and say we’re by far the best team In the league.

Are you saying that no strikers had any pace in Moore's era?

I remember Bobby Moore played against that lad Jairzinho who was quite quick. Bobby seemed to do alright then.

Newcastle triggered the £25m clause for Wood just after they had been knocked out of the FA Cup by Cambridge. Newcastle must have known they were paying over the odds and to my mind it was the very definition of a panic buy. They did, however, make some good signings in that January window, and thos...
