We really are our own worst enemies. Last week with a few seconds of the half left Fofana concedes possession cheaply when he could have held the ball or drawn a foul. And then this. Where’s the game management and intelligence. This game was there for the taking, and still is. But I suspect we won’...

Best case you get a penalty and the opposition get a player sent off. Worst case the ref waves play on. There's no downside to diving and a considerable upside so it's no surprise that teams do it. Even worse is that VAR encourages diving, because if you dive and in the process of doing so the oppo...

You've wrongly inferred again here.

When I spoke of incorrect inferences I was referring to the accusation of "snootiness".

Well I certainly caught a few with the blandest of baits in using "Christian name"

Rileybobs

I quite agree but there is, as seen on this thread, a peculiar kind of reactionary type eager to wrongly infer all kinds of meanings beyond the simple things being said. If you actually read the thread you will see that not a single person has wrongly inferred anything by you using the term Christi...

We’ve already got a good right back. I’m surprised the board would agree anything at this stage. I would have expected some players to be sold beforehand. I can only assume if it’s correct that an agreement now was to avoid him being snapped up before the season end. Few million quid for Roberts an...

Just push the big 6 clubs to the Euro super league that I’m sure the Saudi’s would love to bankroll & the prem would be as competitive as the championship & supported by fans.

Very good player. The best on the pitch against us at weekend. He doesn’t make England’s first eleven for me but he’s got to be worth a place in the squad - his penalty record makes that a no-brainer.

UK disclosure rules do not say that directors need to disclose remuneration that they have received from an affiliate company. The remuneration that directors disclose is only for remuneration from the company and its other group companies. What does have to be disclosed is monies paid by BFC to an...

Rileybobs, please read my two posts, above. It is possible that a management fee paid to an affiliate entity would be paid to the directors of the affiliate entity. But, if those directors of the affiliate entity are also directors of the reporting entity any such payment would need to be included ...

Rileybobs

I didn't claim, I quoted the accounts that state it. I also said a management fee paid to an affiliate doesn't indicate that Alan Pace and other directors were paid that management fee. But it seems to me you’ve insinuated that Pace and co haven’t taken any remuneration, unless I’ve misunderstood y...

Rileybobs

It's not only possible, it's certain. The accounts say it was paid to an affiliate. But, just because Alan Pace is a director of the company providing management services doesn't mean that the fee was paid to Alan Pace or any other directors. Maybe it's, in part, pays for JJ Watt and Kealia Watt (a...

Note 6: The Company had no employees, other than the directors, who received no remuneration during the year.

Rileybobs

Hi Ian, I don't think anyone has answered your question. The latest set of accounts very clearly state that none of the directors received any remuneration for their services. Equally, no dividends are being paid, so shareholders aren't taking any money out of the club. Who do you think BFC paid a ...

That organisation needs to grow a pair.

Rileybobs

Completely agree that this was a deliberate strategy to facilitate the purchase. It’s a very simplistic argument to say that Garlick ran the club “properly” and never took any remuneration or dividends. If he would have taken £7m or £8m dividend every season there would be outrage amongst many fans...

Initially when Bellamy was appointed, I was influenced by his "on the edge " playing style, and assumed he would let VK know his views. Nothing to suggest Bellamy is like this, and comes over now as shy and quiet. Sadly Mike Jackson appears the same. Maybe thats how VK likes it You’ve got absolutel...

The surname-as-Christian-name thing is a trend among lower income demographics who are also most likely to be divorced, hence the propensity to also have double barreled surnames

Please explain how a surname as a Christian name is a trend among lower income demographics.

Rileybobs

That's still up for debate. If he doesn't win anything then it can't really be viewed as a success. Losing in a final isn't something to celebrate if it's the peak of their achievements. It needs to be a stepping stone to success. Whole different discussion and I’m sure one we will have plenty of t...

Staggering how Southgate doesn't build the team around him

He pretty much builds the team around Kane and I think that’s proven quite a sensible thing to do.

Rileybobs

Used to be seen as Upper Class now it’s the polar opposite. Some pretty distasteful comments here. No doubt double-barrelled surnames are now more popular as more people have children outside of wedlock and give their children both surnames, or couples choose not to inherit their partner’s name whe...

That Rodri is pretty decent.

Rileybobs

Imo, the goal would have been given. The VAR check had been completed, the ref signalled goal and pointed to the centre spot for Burnley to restart the game. Every player was in his correct half of the pitch and the Wolves keeper was miles out of his nets. That's his problem. I just wished so much ...

Rileybobs

My issue is that when we win the ball back from an attack, the linesman waves the delayed flag, and then the referee stops play, which kills the advantage after we win back possession. It kills the momentum, the opposition has regrouped, and I'm not sure if the time is added on for the free kick to...

Realistically we were consigned to relegation some time ago, but the recent run of results and good performances has left us with a very outside chance. A good point last night although we've left ourselves in a position where points at home to bottom half/middling teams is not going to cut it. On a...

It goes hand in hand with VAR. How can we have VAR if assistant referees flag for offside and play is brought to a stop?

Rileybobs

I presume VK doesn't have the time to spend going through hours of clips each week of defensive and attacking set pieces or looking through loads of stats and then coming up with creative solutions. Having a person dedicated to that makes sense, it's statistically a vital part of the game and shoul...

Great support from just over 1,000 clarets. Tony is pretty accurate with his estimation of our following so to get grief for stating a fact is a unnecessary in my view. There were a few ‘tourists’ again though in the upper deck. Can’t say I blame them if they got the tickets at a reasonable price. ...

Stephen Warnock described it as the worst decision this season.

Rileybobs

When the ref gives a penalty, VAR will not overturn it unless they can prove that the forward was not touched. If there was the merest touch, then it will be confirmed. That's the way the powers that be think it should be done, for the time being. Exactly. Even though I was apoplectic when it was g...

Ipswich have obviously had another strong season and they impressed against us in the cup albeit both teams made lots of changes, this is the first time I've seen them this season and if that's the standard then we will get 100+ points again next season no fear (assuming there is no miracle this se...

If that half of football is anything to go by it’s a terrible league.

Sure there’s more to it than half a game. But if Ipswich win they will be just 3 points behind where we were at this stage of the season.

Rileybobs

Must be a poor league then because they’re top of it.

Good decision to be fair.

Unfortunately they may only need 4-5 points to stay up.

I'm a "legacy supporter". Every club would shift us out in a heartbeat if they could fill the stadium with cash-rich tourists.

This is true. But that doesn’t make it right, or mean we have to accept that BFC has joined this club.

They're still amongst the cheapest in the top 2 divisions and you have a choice not to buy one. Plus, if you're big on ethics, you're probably following the wrong sport. Obviously I have a choice to not to buy one, that doesn’t stop me having a view on the price rises. I don’t follow football for e...

Or there will be a lot of people prepared to pay the 9th lowest ST price in the Championship to gamble on this team playing some decent football at the top end of the Championship.

From a personal point of view the price increases are negligible, however this still leaves a bad taste. Since the club was bought by ALK the strategy is pretty clear; charge more for 'premium' seats, increase the corporate offering, and edge out the concessions - who after all are getting the same ...
