Re: Your first Clarets away game.

Mine was Bradford away in October 92 I think.

Sat in the home end, possibly in the press box. A Scottish bloke in front of us clocked that we were Burnley fans and launched into a tirade, and was removed from his seat by a steward.

Lost 1-0.

Re: Burnley players reaction after penalty

Based on the thread title I thought this was going to be about Ashley Barnes twice almost headbutting the referee. Lad's a liability. Wenger's facing a long ban for much less.
