So who is available to play on Thursday.

[Guller Bull]

I know a few of you will answer "Me" - get your boots polished, you might make the bench.

No seriously - is the bench going to be any stronger?
I didn't notice us pick up any injuries last night so the first team should be strong on paper again and with a game under their belt (and not playing City) I am hopeful of being a bit more competitive.

No word on Bardsley?

[Rowls]

Nixon reporting Hendrick been offerd a "new deal".

Not clear if it means a temporary deal or a new full contract offer.

I'm touch and go with a sprained ankle.

[boatshed bill]

My boots are chafing a bit, but I should be OK

[FCBurnley]

I’d have to quarantine so that’s me ruled out. Sorry

[Leisure]

I'm touch and go with a sprained ankle.

Get that flight booked from Montpellier. You'll definitely get on the bench!

[ClaretTony]

I can only confirm that I’ve not had a call but there again we’d be better with three goalkeepers than me anywhere near the bench.

[Paul Waine]

Put my boots in the re-cycling skip only last week... but, got my Burnley shirt out of the wash. I'm happy to sit on the bench to make up the numbers.

UTC

EDIT: And, I can bring my own face covering....

[Guller Bull]

Rowls - if that's your attitude then don't bother turning up for pre season.
CT - you had an offer on the table now off you pop.
Boatshed - wear em in swimming pool for the next two days and you'll be grand - you are up front.
FC Burnley - Quarantine? Are they not Azerbazergiany league?
Paul Waine - Has the wife got any slippers? - You're up front.

[TheFamilyCat]

I'm back on the grass. So I wouldn't be much use.

[ClaretTony]

CT - you had an offer on the table now off you pop.

Still shielding unfortunately

[longsidepies]

I'm touch and go

[Im_not_Robbie_Blake]

Make my debut for Burnley at 67? YES!!!!

[FactualFrank]

I'm touch and go

You could be arrested for that.

[Claret Toni]

Not been offered a (new) contract, so it's got to be a no from me.

[Goobs]

Make my debut for Burnley at 67? YES!!!!

As long as you can shout, you'll apparently concede less than Joe Hart did

[Bosscat]

I'm touch and go

Better than scratch and sniff

Thanks, Guller. I won't let you down.

[spadesclaret]

I had my walker all packed up ready to go t'Turf when I was told they didn't want me - even on the bench.

Sexism at its worst.

[MACCA]

I'll play, but they better had get me a birthday cake on my birthday if I help them out!

[FactualFrank]

I can only confirm that I’ve not had a call but there again we’d be better with three goalkeepers than me anywhere near the bench.

I'm now picturing you putting your boots on and doing some leg stretches.

[Paul Waine]

I'll play, but they better had get me a birthday cake on my birthday if I help them out!

They gave me a cake at work when I was 65 - icing was a Burnley shirt.

[Guller Bull]

Oh don't be such an old woman - go on then you can wash the kit.

[Silkyskills1]

Make my debut for Burnley at 67? YES!!!!

Probably my last chance at 68 so I'd be looking for at least two games, hopefully three.

[MACCA]

Excellent, I've not had a birthday cake for ages, dont get them these days and I'm not even old

[ClaretTony]

Horrible thought

[IanMcL]

Do you call it Kyle?

(I know it won't be Jack)

[IanMcL]

Look, I have one good leg and a gammy ankle but i am ok otherwise. My boots are still in a drawer in the garage. I will Dubbin them, ready. That'll bamboozle the opposition!

Another 67 er.

We are on the move! (Loose form of the word)

Just had a thought.
Are electric scooters ok to use? I could be past the defenders with a turn of the wrist!

[KLClaret]

On the grass also, I'll be no good, giving the homebrew a good go as well

[Paul Waine]

Week before lockdown, I'd spotted a walking football game near me. I was planning to see if they'd let me join in the day we learnt lockdown was starting. I think I'd be quite good at shielding the ball after all these weeks of practise.

[spadesclaret]

Do you call it Kyle?

(I know it won't be Jack)

[dsr]

Annoyingly, I've already played at Turf Moor in one of the holycustard games, so I would have been a shoo-in. Except I'm a goalkeeper, the one position they aren't short.

[mkmel]

How about a 69'er?
That's my age btw you filthy lot

[NewClaret]

[Guller Bull]

Central defence Mel - you can gobble up any balls that come over the top.

[Gordaleman]

I'm available but I'm 72 and I'm also a goalkeeper. I guess we have enough of those and they are probably a tad fitter than me anyway.

C'mon you Clarets reserves.

[Funkydrummer]

I am available, but won't be able to go down on one knee and get back up before half time.

[IanMcL]

Annie

I'll drink to that!
