When was the last game postponed at the Turf? It must be years ago.

Stan Tastic

I was hoping United would take him.

VAR was supposed to sort this nonsense out. Instead we've now got two referees getting it wrong and no explanation required. Both referees should have to explain that awful decision on Saturday just as they should for the Tim Krul one, when he double-punched Vydra in the head.

Stan Tastic

Appalling decision by VAR to disallow their goal at Leeds.

Wasn't Friend on VAR when Tarkowski was wrestled to the ground against Everton?

I thought that VAR would stop these awful decisions but it's made it more infuriating because they're still not giving us penalties after watching video replays.

Stan Tastic

I’d be more worried by the wrestling that went on every time City put a deadball into the box. Pep should have said EUFA must tell us if this is acceptable and I’ll get Dwayne Johnson in to coach my guys up to that standard. Tarkowski was wrestled to the ground by Doucoure against Everton. A blatan...

The last single I bought was by Heaven 17. It was released before Temptation which was a shame, as it deserved a wider audience.

Stan Tastic

Any throw-in conceded within about thirty yards of the opposition's corner flags suddenly turn into a situation as dangerous as a free-kick.

Lazy comparisons to Stoke will no doubt intensify.

Stan Tastic

The Aldershot home game wasn't a complete waste as it brought Adrian Randall to our attention.

Stan Tastic

I can imagine it sounding like Alan Partridge's attempts.

In, to hopefully improve on my usual mid-table mediocrity.

There's fewer more distressing sights than that of an Englishman in a baseball cap

Even if it's necessary to cut out the glare from the sun?

I've heard we've made a bid for half a gnome, unfortunately Towneley garden centre turned us down.

At least we know who we are playing

PNE won 5-0 over the weekend against an unknown opposition

Why didn't they just ask them who they were?

Stan Tastic

I find the idea of signing Cornet very odd. OL have been talking about selling some of their biggest assets since 2020 because of their sticky financial situation. Cornet is one of their top earners so a good candidate to get off the books. He was a left winger and he's switched to being a left bac...

If Doig signs he won't be made captain but he could be Deputy.

You'll be in the Doig-house with the Pun Police now.

Looks like Lyon are trying to Cornet the transfer market.

Apparently there are quite a few people from foreign countries with no knowledge of the area, that think Burnley is a city, presumably based on its Premier League status.

'Played like a fan' is a brilliant description. Great article.

Knew he was a proper defender when he blocked a shot from point blank range with his face.

You mean the only one that's not remarked on him being 'bad' ? I'm sure there's lots of people that really didn't give it much thought, including me. He was okay and his contributionhelped me enjoy the match. Just because there are some people unhappy with him doesn't mean everyone is. Fair enough,...

Stan Tastic

I thought he was okay, it felt the game was being commented by someone who was a fan, like us, and someone who was nervous, like we were. He made some mistakes, but that's also nerves? Not sure. There are far worse, be careful what you wish for! Just wondered if it had crossed your mind that you se...

His commentary last night was the worst I've heard since I first watched football on TV in 1966. Constantly looking for a soundbite to be remembered by whilst coming across like Alan Partridge. He genuinely referred to Denmark going a man down to injury in extra time as losing a member of staff. He ...

Stan Tastic

I used to laugh about it at the time that we had both the quickest (John Francis) and slowest forwards in the division. If the pass didn't land at Ron's feet he didn't waste his energy trying to chase it, but he was a quality finisher.

Stan Tastic

Going off this YouTube compilation he looks good in the air, mobile and both-footed, with the ability to hit accurate long passes. Looks comfortable on the ball too.

I cannot believe that people cannot understand, footballers have always played to the whistle not to the flag. Linesmen have always waved their flags without offsides or fouls being blown up, while play continued until the referee confirmed the decision… which is were VAR if needed could help So st...

Stan Tastic

Not flagging until the end of the move has to go… it stops fans being able to celebrate goals… and that is after all the point of it all. It removes all the excitement of the game What if he flags at the time and gets it wrong as would probably have happened with Ronaldo's second? I can't believe t...

Ronaldo looked off - you assume VAR is looking at everything anyway, even if the TV isn't showing multiple replays

He wasn't offside although on first viewing he looked miles off. So the linesman keeping his flag down does work with VAR.

Stan Tastic

Turf Moor in the late sixties with the Junior Clarets. We weren't allowed to use the proper goals and had to play across the width of the pitch.

Fairly predictable. Didn’t think Liverpool were much. Phillips their best player says it all. We just look exhausted

Exhausted? What absolute nonsense. There was no drop-off at all as the game progressed. Even at 3-0 we were still pushing for a goal.

Can't you edit the thread title?

Totally outplayed by Gillingham in a 3-0 defeat at the Turf with just four games remaining and it looked all over for us. We won all four remaining games and Gillingham missed out after their defeat at Wrexham. I thought we'd beat Scunthorpe but I didn't expect Gillingham to lose to Wrexham after th...

According to a Preston forum the attendance was 21,550, which would make more sense if there were 15,000 or more from Burnley, as CT estimated. It's a shame there's no footage of the game because Waldron's goal was possibly the best of the season. I've just watched this video of Dobbo talking about ...

Well. People can skate Southgate. But he has done far better than managers who did have success as a manager. Such as Sven. Capello. Hodgson. Et al. And it’s not like Joachim Lowe had any pedigree before Germany. Managing internationally is a totally different kettle of fish. Southgate can’t win. P...

Yes, with the win at Huddersfield on the Saturday we only needed a draw given that Sunderland were the only other team who could pass us. For some reason I was convinced on the night we needed the win and hadn't really thought about it since. I only realised when looking at the league table in the ...

Stan Tastic

Am I right in thinking a draw would've been enough to send us up CT?

There was definitely more than 1500 Burnley fans there that day. Huddersfield's previous home game against Millwall attracted only 5,551.

I was thinking Crewe Alexandra 1-0 Burnley 4th May 1987. Win that and we are safe. No Orient game. But then without the Orient game, would there have been the awakening of the town and lapsed supporters to just how bad the situation was and we would have been in the same position the following seas...

We hit the woodwork twice against Newcastle in the FA Cup semi-final and McFaul pulled off a genuine world-class save to deny Frank Casper.

I was at this game but I can't remember a large following.
Mind you, there wasn't much to cheer about. Forest had the makings of a good side though, especially when you consider that their unused sub was John Robertson.

Only 5-0 at half-time. Imagine giving your half-time team-talk on restoring some pride and then conceding nine more.

Lee Dixon is light years ahead of Les Thompson even though the latter is -quite rightly- much more fondly remembered among us. I can remember being annoyed that Bond had given Lee Dixon away when I rated him. I can also remember remarking that Les Thompson was non-league standard when he played for...

Not a very friendly place at all. Our coach got bricked on the way out of the city, one of which rebounded off a window. Luckily for me the mark it made on the window was right in line with my head. I was also in the same side that Tony mentioned and it was a bit hostile to say the least, but surpri...
