Euro squad

[cricketfieldclarets]

Apparently on Friday we registered this round players. And we put Brady, Defour and Heaton.

Not saying it means anything. But must be promising on their fitness at least?

[Goobs]

Well they had 2 weeks at that point to get them fit for the 2nd leg and we don't have the biggest squad in the world so probably no harm in putting them in on the off chance they are fit enough for the bench I guess?

Heaton's not in - this is the current updated list

[claretblue]

it states:

'...Squad list consists of players involved from group stage to final only...'

so does that exclude next 2 rounds?

confused...again!

[Claretmatt4]

I'm guessing Hart can play on Thursday?

Dont think so.

Must have changed then

[Quickenthetempo]

What about Hart and Gibson?

[Commy]

Can you change it with new signings? Aberdeen managed to play two that they signed the day before the game.

I'm pretty sure you can make 2 changes.

I'm pretty sure you can make 2 changes.

yep, just read this as well.

can swap up to 2 players as long as the home grown quota is met. hart and gibson would be fine.

unlikely either would play on thursday though.

[ClaretTony]

Interesting that we've included Defour. He wasn't in the squad for the Aberdeen games so must be getting closer to fitness.

I don't quite get this - there's only 21 names on list A, the matchday squad, and we can add 2 new signings; but McNeil is on list B which as I understand means he can't play this week?

[quoonbeatz]

pretty sure players on either list can play.

[Dublin7Claret]

No Aiden O'Neill - has he gone back to Aus already?

[dsr]

pretty sure players on either list can play.

I think you're right. Good. These rules and regulations are fabulously complicated - I hope UEFA have an expert at head office ready to answer the club's questions!

And I think that in practice our list A is restricted to 21, because all our "locally trained" players (ie. brought up at the club) are eligible for list B anyway. So the 21 names currently on list A are everyone who isn't positively out, and if we bring in (say) Gibson and Hart, two players will have to drop out.

[ClaretTony]

Where are there two lists?

[IanMcL]

Bibi Tom.

[burnley007]

When do the squad fly out there?

[dsr]

Where are there two lists?

List A without asterisks, List B with asterisks. They're all written down together, but notionally they're two lists.

[wilks_bfc]

Players need to be registered by 11pm on Wednesday to be eligible to play on Thursday

[ClaretTony]

List A without asterisks, List B with asterisks. They're all written down together, but notionally they're two lists.

Not two lists, the asterisk denotes and under-21 player.

[ClaretTony]

When do the squad fly out there?

I think they go tomorrow morning

[dsr]

Not two lists, the asterisk denotes and under-21 player.

That's right, more or less, but with a subtlety. List A consists of maximum 25 players, of which max 17 are from anywhere in the world, at least 4 are England-produced, and at least 4 are Burnley-produced. List B consists of players who are Burnley-produced and are under 21.

List B can be as long as we want it to be, restricted only by the number of Burnley-produced under 21s on our books. List A is restricted to max 25, of which we have 21 at present, none of them Burnley-produced; if we want to add any more to list A, they either need to be Burnley-produced (but they're already on list B so there's no need) or else we need to take another player off List A.

on the link you posted all the players are listed together but the ones with an asterisk are from 'List B'.

[Reecey1987]

Joe hart and gibson added to the euro squad

[dsr]

Defour and Wells are the two who have been left out.

[Longside4evr]
