Another sad loss from that great generation of English football, helped make a whole nation proud, was one of 11 legends. RIP George

I`m not a Muric fan but as a former member of the GK`s union i think he just got his angles slightly wrong and realizes he can`t reach the ball although he did go down in instalments !!

claretgimmer

Peacock Farrell 7 Played well, better all round keeper than Muric IMO other than the distribution but I didn`t feel as nervous as when Muric has the ball at his feet. Roberts 5 Weak, slow and seemed to focus only on backward passes Harwood Bellis 6 Defended well, poor distribution tonight, gave the ...

They had them on sale when he first started wearing one, I have one, but it needs to be bloody site warmer than it is now to start wearing it again, he was wearing one with the club badge on the other day in an interview.

When it`s warm enough to stop wearing my woolly one !!

A keeper who can catch a ball would be a welcome addition.

Totally agree, saving penalties is okay but has the same problem with crosses as Dracula, just can`t cope with them, as Sheff Utd highlighted

claretgimmer

Why does he need time off after the world cup, up to now he hasn`t played, if Morrocco are out of it at the next stage he should really be straight back and in against QPR, we will be paying his wages by then so given the fact he won`t have had any competitive football like the rest of the squad bar...

claretgimmer

I agree with Mattster when I first watched the highlights I said straightaway his left knee went out towards Roberts for whatever reason but it appeared also that Roberts leg went backward at the moment of connection, yellow card all day long these days I,m afraid.

claretgimmer

I am just stating facts. We have not played on Boxing day since 2019. So football on Boxing day for Burnley is not sacrilege. We have even had a poster post that he doesn't know what to do due to having to have a family party this year that he has to go to without mentioning they have been in the s...

claretgimmer

Cheers CP, thought as much but like others have said Boxing day without footy is crap, it`s traditional and should be untouchable

claretgimmer

Can the club actually refuse a tv match ie. Boxing Day or does the Sky contract say if we want we get ?

claretgimmer

Muric 5 Never filled me with confidence, tonight he just re-enforced that opinion, poor in every department Roberts 6 played ok but still think he`s to lightweight THB 5 Poor distribution, seemed to opt for the wrong option, totally lost his man for their goal Taylor 7 Thought he was steady away wit...

claretgimmer

Muric 7 Commanded his area better than previous and took pressure of the defence Roberts 7 Got forward well and cracking finish but still worries me defensively THB 6 defends well but he`s not Beckenbauer wasted a lot of possession Beyer 6 Just steady, looks a little pedestrian pace wise at times Vi...

claretgimmer

It feels extremely sad and disrespectful to turn Barnes into the new whipping boy. He's been brilliant for us and even more so considering what he cost. I'm not ever going to have a "pop" at the guy who scored that amazing goal in our promotion clinching match against Wigan, netted at Old Trafford ...

claretgimmer

Muric 5 Has Dracula syndrome, doesn`t like crosses, takes no pressure off the defence Roberts 8 Better game tonight, more involved THB 8 Steady away, good goal, worry sometimes when he gets caught in possession Taylor 8 Good game hope it`s nothing serious we need him Vitinho 6 quiet Cork 7 Brilliant...

claretgimmer

This was a complete bore fest, we take possession but we are so slow to move the ball that all the opposition players are back behind the ball and we really do struggle to find space, players were making the runs but the man with the ball didn`t pick them out and opted for a backward or sideways pas...

Cardiff did similar with Solskaer, big spending doesn`t come with a guarantee of survival

Two Tribes, Frankie goes to Hollywood, lets get fans revved up a bit

Muric 6 Roberts 5 Harwood-Bellis 8 Defended well, made some good forward runs but he`s not Beckenbaur Taylor 6 Just a bit more pace on the passes please Charlie Maatsen 7 Cork 6 Cullen 6 Thought he would be more creative than what he is Brownhill 6 Bastien 6 Vitinho 6 Rodriguez 8 MoM Worked hard, he...

RIP Lenny, always a pleasure to watch, my type of player, but that moment at Ewood gave a lot of pleasure to a lot of people, rest in peace fella.

claretgimmer

Too much pretty football with no penetration, we are letting opposition teams all get back behind the ball and then can`t open them up, VK has a lot to learn about the championship.

claretgimmer

I fully understand the reasons we changed from ST books with vouchers to Team Cards but yet there is still a turnstile operator on each turnstile so I don`t see what we have gained from the change also I don`t think there were as many problems as we currently have under that system so the club eithe...

claretgimmer

Fair enough, I will try to keep up in future Lol !

claretgimmer

I may be wrong here but unless it was just a spurious rumour then didn`t Cornet ask to return to his parent club during last season believing he was only on loan, so whilst I agree with the sentiment re Weghorst not returning if the above is true then Cornet is not without sin.

claretgimmer

That`s fair enoughbut given the problems some fans have had with purchase history being wiped and also the club probably don`t have the technology in place to differentiate which points are awarded for what purchases then the `old fashioned ` way would have to prevail, if I am wrong in my assumption...

claretgimmer

Points are also claimed for purchases for home cup ties so two people could be on the same points but accrued in different ways, seeing as the topic is based on purchases for away games then the person who has accrued their points with away ticket purchases would on production of the stubs have a pr...

claretgimmer

ASC No they aren`t away stubs show away matches attended and differentiate the people who have same points but don`t regularly attend away games like some, but don`t let it worry you.

claretgimmer

At one time if my memory is right didn`t we have to produce stubs from previous matches, if that is the case then surely a system where the initial number of points could start lower but have to be accompanied by a specific number of away ticket stubs from either the current season or if early on in...

claretgimmer

They certainly broke the mold when they made him, a true clarets legend in every sense of the word, cut him and I think he would have bled claret & blue, a character never likely to be replaced. RIP Rocky enjoy your view from the free seats.

claretgimmer

Nothing in life is certain other than taxes and death, but when we appointed Coyle it was Owen who ?? when we appointed Dyche it was Sean who ?? neither of those appointments worked out to bad, lets give the bloke a chance and maybe judge him later in the season because it will take time to get new ...

claretgimmer

It won`t be enough for some

claretgimmer

I don`t think personally that anyone else will go not at least until VK has had time to assess what he already has and I also think that Roberts would thrive under a manager with a playing style that VK wants especially being a lot younger than Lowts.

claretgimmer

I agree with the OP, some may find back to the wall football okay which if it was only against a few clubs then maybe I could live with that, but unfortunately it became more common place against clubs who we really should have been on top against, I personally also want to be entertained by what I ...

claretgimmer

We've been one of the worst teams in the league over the last 2 seasons, yet some fans want to keep virtually all the out of contract players? How do they suggest we try and progress and move forward exactly? If Jay Rod is staying Barnes simply has to be moved on. There isn't room for both of them....

One game at a time lads, does that sound familiar ?

claretgimmer

Yes he did !! I didn`t renew my season ticket the year after in protest at that negativity when we were so close to the final stating I would pick and choose my matches the following season, which I did, I chose every bloody match, cost me a damn sight more than it would have but having already rene...

claretgimmer

All these different ideas some of which could carry some merit, however nobody has factored in that we have a manager and coaching team who don`t like going outside of their 4 4 2 comfort zone so sorry chaps it`s all pie in the sky speculation that will never be considered no matter how viable under...

I agree, but the lack of belief today was alarming after Everton. I just cannot understand why we play looping balls into the box against Norwich… it is about the only thing they CAN defend. Gutted, but it isn’s over.

It didn`t change when Vydra came on, unbelievable.

Dyche himself said that nothing lasts for ever, it`s been a blast, build a statue whatever you want for what Dyche has done for our club but it`s over, it`s run it`s course, we are going to lose several players anyway so what better time to have fresh start, probably utilising the loan market, which...

claretgimmer

Having OOC players playing for a team in a match to stay in a division that will probably see them out of a job is like putting Dracula in charge of the blood bank, accept our fate and start giving some of the young lads a run out especially any promising midfielders.

claretgimmer

A local pub team manager would have made a better effort for this match than the three stooges, Dyche, Woan, Stone. Clear the decks and start again, I already have my season ticket for next year but genuinely can`t see me attending many matches if Dyche & Co are still in charge.

claretgimmer

If there`s a slower midfielder than Brownhill I`ve yet to see him

claretgimmer

Usual predictable shite , half time team talk must have been riveting

claretgimmer

Running the game, he couldn`t run a bath, he has seen plenty of the ball I agree but his use of it has been abysmal

claretgimmer

Agree with feeling sorry for Weghorst, we have a player who has shown his ability on the floor, just a pity we haven`t got a management team to coach playing to it

claretgimmer

Hospital ball ok for you Charlie, yeah cheers Westy. Has Cork had a leg amputated or something that stops him not being better than Westwood

claretgimmer

or no ideas !

Edge of the box left unguarded, again !!
