Please, please, I hope our local 'interviewers' see this and learn something about interviewing. They really have to stop beginning questions with 'how'. How important is it ...., How difficult is it ...., How frustrating is it ...., How pleasing is it ...., etc. I often think the response should be...

Does this mean I've got a seat?

Leisure, I live in Oz and at my age it is most unlikely that I will ever be able to return to Burnley, let alone use your service, but I want to say thankyou for what you do. Community members such as yourself, Claret Tony, and all those who are, and have been, moderators of this board are special p...

He had two guilt edged chances.

Guilt edged?
Guilt comes after the miss.

I can use iPlayer from here in Oz - how do I navigate to the live matches? Is there a category in Sport? I can't see how to do it.

I met Freddie Smith on a number of occasions, he was the most humble man you could ever wish to meet. A brilliant right-back but so limited in his appearances due to a certain John Angus in front of him. Freddie would have played far more games at another Club but was content to sit behind Angus at...

Crafty Colin knows what he's doing and he's doing it well. I hope Huddersfield get a bit of luck in the battle to stay up.

No it doesn't. What about the other young fellow in the ad?

His crossing was ok last night when he kept it simple but we’ll have to disagree on your comment that “his end product is often there”. My point was mainly based on him giving the ball away cheaply when it’s a simple pass and when he runs down a blind alley with the ball and ends up losing it. Ther...

Dervisoglu out of all these players seems to be the most promising to me but hasn't even had a chance

Seems most promising but has hardly played ? How do you arrive at that assessment ?

Another thread spoke of 'the ginger Billy Bunter' which made me smile.

I'm not sure that Tommy Danns and his pitchfork is quite an equivalent.

Hi Jacob….. this is going to be a long reply, so probably boring to my fellow UTC posters, but I’m provided notes below to your article.

I think the forearm smash into the back of Bacunas head early on by Townsend was bad too. Had a look of intent to me yet the commentators said nothing. The sort of thing VAR would definitely have a look at I think.

Spot on - absolutely intentional but it wasn't the forearm, it was the elbow.

Vincent is a man of honour. He has a contract.

I thought in Aussie rules they moved the ball to the 50 metre line, not moved it 50 metres? The equivalent of making it a free kick on the edge of the penalty area, from anywhere on the pitch. Not so Rammy. It is moved 50 metres towards the goal line from anywhere on the ground. If the free kick is...

Living in the asylum is great when you are in your 70s because you don't give a toss.

Absolutely correct Ashington. Not only do I not give a toss but I laugh at all this crap.

Bullabill

anyone else think he "tolerates" Phil Bird? Not because of any antagonism or previous missteps but because he always harps back to the previous game, where for VK it's in the past. And the press conference is for the upcoming game, not a Q&A session on all things BFC It was also noticeable when a j...

Done.

VK is brilliant. His facial expressions give nothing away and he's always calm and measured, but the long, rambling, multi-faceted questions of the interviewers are a pain. An intelligent man like Vinny doesn't need a complete 'back story' in a question to understand it, and if all that were left ou...

If I were him I'd be more concerned about having a girls name in the USA rather than getting a cup of hot tea.
I don't think I've met a single man with the name Ashley in the USA.

What about married men?

No we didn't, injuries can happen at any time to any player. As it happens, if he'd signed for us he wouldn't have been playing in that match.

Aisle say - it would be good.

I hope Anass Zaroury gets the chance to get his first Morocco cap.

All of Burnley FC, squad, coaching staff, analytics team, all the support staff and the owners will be buzzing if one of the squad gets a medal at the WC.

He's already been capped for Morocco - against Georgia.

Isn't xG totally subjective? and who decides the figure? Is there a VAR-like panel of experts? I don't get it.

Sad, sad news. From her approach, common sense and wit (among other characteristics) I imagined she was much younger than that. She was clearly younger in spirit.

Bullabill

Here in Oz we've had to suffer that mumbling, meandering Martin Tyler for many matches - no doubt quite expensive and completely outclassed by local duo David Basheer and former Socceroo Luke Wilkshire.

Now I'm puzzled, they're all red again. In trying to edit the previous post I knocked my coffee cup over my laptop keyboard - not a good start to the day!

Bullabill

Thanks to all for the responses. The thing that caught my eye yesterday was nearly all the icons were red (even though I read just about all posts) today they're blue. I wondered whether being logged in or not made a difference but it didn't.

Bullabill

What the icons beside the topics indicate. Some are red others blue, some have a little star, the shapes are not all the same. I've looked in the FAQ's but didn't see the answer.

Can't really see how he could have done any better for them, their "golden generation" has aged.
