In the good old days (?) I used to get the buzz as the players were appearing and the chant
Here they come, Alan West Martin Dobson and the rest
Na na na na etc.

bfcjg

Looking at both games it's amazing how far we have come both on and off the pitch, the Turf now is superb, more like a bowling green.
Still had some cracking players at the time though, Little, Welker, and Gerry Harrison surprised me,I'd forgotten what a tough midfielder he was.

Apparently: it's an unofficial anthem at Leicester City Football Club, adopted by fans in the 1980s. As of 2022, the recording by Jersey Budd is played before the start of each home match. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aJkplDoR5oQ That is a horrendous version TBH I didn't know they introduced it ...

Born in Burnley , just had to be a Claret, remember the excitement as a very small child looking out of our terraced house window and seeing blazes of colour as people bedecked in claret and blue streamed out of houses and up the street, such a contrast to the smoke stained terraced houses and const...

Just play " oh when your smiling" really used to reverberate around the Turf and TBH I've never heard any other team sing it.

The semi literate window lickers from Shadsworth will wonder why they have signed Israel when Saudi Arabia would give them more money.

It will die when the footballing god Pep says it's finished, and that won't be until he's he's invented another style for pundits to drool over.

There are lies, damned lies and statistics.
I think you can make stats say what you want them to at times,especially in football.

No chance of that happening as sadly Shebby passed on in 2012. He had heart problems following a bike ride.

Shebby will always have a special place in my heart.

Leeds are really good to watch when they hit form, it's a shame their fans sre obnoxious.

Hardly a ringing endorsement

I don't care about Tresor
He don't care about me
What I care about is Josh Cullen's knees.
Original and done in the best possible taste.

bfcjg

I wouldn't have minded it at Portsmouth for the ball juggler.

bfcjg

Knowing our luck PNE will be Brook's side. ( one for the older soap fans)

bfcjg

I don't mind pundits giving a brief observation from a technical aspect,perhaps something only a professional could spot or be qualified to comment on,but when they drone on about the obvious that I could spot for example a great shot or save I just zone out.

bfcjg

Coventry away will be hard, but we should have enough to win all 6.

bfcjg

You have to do anything and everything to stay up the first season. I still think if with yhe money he spent Kompany had of bought some seasoned pros and mixed up his tactics we'd have stayed up. I think of we go up Parker is more likely to keep us up as he can be more pragmatic.

I think all independent breeers do in the main cracking ales so it's down to personal cjoice.
I like the Reedley beers, I like the Bowland beers but a beer I always get if its on is Landlord or Boltmaker.

Trafford. 7

Roberts 8
Pires 6
Esteve 9
Egan-Riley 8

Cullen 8
Laurent 6
Hannibal 7

Anthony 8
Flemming 5 I don't rate him as a centre forward
Edwards 9 sublime MOM

Brownhill 8
Foster 7 just needs a goal. Much better as a centre forward.

bfcjg

He's like Robbie Blake with speed, what a full debut that was.

How about I really care about Tresor But does he care about me ? Unrequited love At Burnley FC. Perhaps a melodic violin accompaniment from the Cricket field stand whilst a modern day tragedy is played out in front of our eyes. For what it's worth I don't like the song, as a fan base we are better t...

Superb performance and saw through their cheating more often than not

bfcjg

What exactly is a Burnley penalty awarded for, becausecwe don'tget them gor triple hanballs,fouls trips etc.? I'm sure I remember us getting one once though.
In answer to the question I'd have thought Cullen in the absence of others.

bfcjg

I wouldn't dare hazard a guess how many times Burnley's biggest fan Hutchy has watched us.

bfcjg

There's nothing make me smirk more than a vegetarian trying to big up their full English.

bfcjg

Foster is not a left winger, I'd play him up front and drop Flemming, Edwards out wide. Agree Shelvey for Laurent

I read an article a while ago from a military specialist who said it was a tactical mistake for Ukraine to invade part of Russia , they used elite troops which weakened their defensive front line and although Russia withdrew troops to fight them, psychologically people will defend their land more ag...

Trump's ludicrous claims fact checked.

This is the clown who wants to buy Greenland, perhaps he thinks Ukraine should have sold some of their land.

bfcjg

For most of the time the thread was full of posts linked to actual events and expert analysis links. A couple of Clarets who had specialist historical and military knowledge made some excellent contributions, then alas it decended into bickering between the I'm smarter than you brigade.

bfcjg

It makes you wonder if the KGB do have that incriminating tape of Trump that was rumoured a few years ago. Obviously I don't want it to be a political anti Trump post but in the context of the war Trumps behaviour has been like that of a Russian apologist. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-38...

For Trump it's all about how much he can screw out of Ukraine, he obviously wants to share the spoils with Putin

Yes it is, we can't keep putting off going for it.

Could we please stick to the war in Ukraine ? The thread has been self regulating since the start of the war and now it's slipping into bickering about issues nothing to do with the war.

Tbh I'm not convinced it makes a difference with modern communications, he'll relay his messages from a couple of seats back in the Bob Lord.

Has that hammering stayed with him and he's vowed never again ? Certainly feels like it at times.

It's not just our fans though a mate of mine who follows bstards away says they have issues with young cocaine befuddled idiots as well, I'd say it's all cubs.

Interesting debate, if the 3 gilt edged chances that fell to us on Saturday had of fallen to Brownhill we would have scored. I'll back Parker but we cannot drop Hannibal for him.

bfcjg

The Royal Dyche is a great name and it will always be known as that now, celebrating a massive achievement from a Burnley legend why would you want to change it ?
No one I know refers to it as the Prinny now. ( ridiculous name change was the Clog and Spindle)

bfcjg

I won't take my grandchildren to away games,they love it on the Turf and ask about aways but we just don't want them to witness things that would put them off the game.

bfcjg

There really must a dire shortage of refs for this clown to get any game above secondary school matches.

bfcjg

If he starts Flemming and Foster in those positions against Sheffield Wednesday I'll start to doubt him. Wednesday are extremely workmanlike at the back and they'll negate their threat as PNE did.

bfcjg

Trafford 7 nothing to do. Roberts 7 tried to get forward passes hoping. Egan-Rily 8 mom Estéve 8 Humpheys 7 Cullen 7 everywhere again. Laurent 5 I'd try Shelvey for the next game, needs a rest. Hanibal 7 what an engine. Great play again, can't believe there are still Neanderthals playing football th...
