Afternoon all, My 14-year old son has had a strong interest in all things aviation for some time now and over the last 6 months he has become a keen plane spotter (not my cup of tea at all, but there are far worse things a 14 year old could be doing with his spare time!) It's his birthday in a coupl...

Thanks CT, thinking of heading over so will look into access arrangements,

Watched in Tenerife too but in a bar next to our hotel!

And interesting choice of fourth official, the very same referee who gave Sunderland two penalties on the Turf last season.

Yep, Easter-Island-Head won't be slow in giving something (anything) against us.

Class Act in every sense of the term, playing The Royal Albert Hall in October.

No way a penalty for me, the ball had gone past Anthony, complete stupidity for someone to decide to shoulder barge Anthony but there were no grounds for a penalty for me. I'd have been raging had a similar situation resulted in a penalty against us. The only thing Oliver got wrong today (watching f...

I felt the first and the third could, and should, have been saved personally. looked like the difference between a keeper in his early 20's and one in his late 30's. Long range distribution was questionable too.

5/10 and I've give some leeway for it being his first time behind this back line.

Cheshireclaret

Like the six second rule before that, and countless others - added time being properly administered, 'simulation' being clamped down on, bellowing at the referee being clamped down on etc etc it will last as long as it takes for a decision to be decisive in a 'big game' before it'll be completely fo...

Little alternative for us given we lost Trafford, Egan-Riley, and Brownhill, and some in our squad wouldn't have stood out in the Championship never mind the Premier League. This, for me, is the key difference between the Kompany and Parker approaches. VK seemed to sign players left right and centr...

Which national anthems do English fans boo ? Unless there’s been some reciprocal nonsense like the Scots etc or some incident, it’s pretty rare these days . I remember the press making out Eng fans had booed the Dane’s in the Euro semi. Though the Dane’s booed GSTQ to begin with . Though your boxin...

The modern day version of Gabor Kiraly, for me, in terms of keepers that had undoubted talent but were always seemingly prone to getting bored and thinking of creating 'things to do'. There are always goalkeepers who are remembered for their eccentricity yet, on many occasions, great play. Bruce Gro...

Our National Athem is dreadful. It works well as a football chant because, frankly, that’s all those 4 stanzas are. Compare that to Flower of Scotland, Land of our Fathers, The Soldiers Song and its pitiful. The Spanish national anthem is more rousing and it doesn’t have any words. Anyway. Back on t...

Quite incredible darts tonight, well done to all four of them. I’d love Wade to win it, and would t bet against him it’s a very Wade thing to do, but when Littler has the glint in his eye, it’s pretty bad news for any opponent. The depth in quality is far higher now than it was in Taylor’s prime, an...

Cheshireclaret

Great to see Rock fulfilling his potential- much was made of him when he first emerged, people put too much pressure on him and it pushed his career back a year or two. Littler dealt with the same pressure in a different way, people are different, but on his day Rock is a match for anyone in my book...

Like it or not, we are leveraged in the same way the Glazers have leveraged MUFC and I said from day one this sits very, very uncomfortably with me. No amount of protests from supporters at Old Trafford has made a jot of difference (Ratcliffe is not there because of them and their woes continue) and...

And those criticising him would also snap the hand off if they were offered a similar pay rise to what they currently earn I'm not criticising him at all, it's his career, his life, his choice - he can do what he wants with it. I'm certainly not one of the number on this thread who seem to think we...

Give 'em a clip around the ear and tell them you're Gen X, not Boomer. I eventually had it explained to me by one of the youngsters in the office that calling me a Boomer is even more insulting that I thought it was precisely because as you say, I'm not that generation! Ironically, they then procee...

Don't think this has been posted glancing through the posts but, Toronto have reportedly offered him a huge bump.

While I agree that volunteering and getting involved with the club would help, it's not always practical. My work hours are long and extremely unpredictable. I've raised money, and always helped out with lifts etc when I can, but beyond that I'd just run the risk of letting people down. But being a...

So just a bit of an update As expected, the 3 players expected to be booted out were booted out (bizarrely the coach said it broke his heart to have to do this. Obviously utter BS as it was his decision to even consider new players) The welfare officer of the club was very nice about everything. Th...

Nearly as horrendous as the stuff our very own water companies discharge into our water courses and coastline day after day with pathetic levels of punishment. But that's another topic. Sorry.

We haven't beaten Leeds at Premier League level have we? For me, last season was something of an anomaly with both United and Spurs being weak - I can't see that being repeated. It will also be very interesting to see how Forest and Palace fare being in Europe (although I caught the back end of a di...

Speak to the club Head of Youth, Chairman or Safeguarding Officer, and ask them if they find if what has happened is acceptable (it isn't). If you do decide to move your son elsewhere, at least the club will look at what this Coach has done, review their policies, and hopefully stop this happening ...

That's disgusting. Is that a Burnley team?

No, it's slightly further afield (Greater Manchester)

A very timely topic this, I must confess I actually wondered whether this was my son's coach (former coach) as this exact thing has just happened to me. To give some background, my lad has been playing in goal for a team for 2 seasons now and for the second season in a row, his team have won promoti...

It’s perfectly normal for more than one player to play badly. In fact we perfected the art of it that season better than most. I agree though that losing the ball as often as Amdouni did in the premier league especially is going to hurt you. The speed that these teams are breaking on you and outnum...

You have to allow the lesser nations to play against the big boys to maintain interest and hopefully they get more funding. I get that, but how much interest will there be in Harare watching them being torn a new one by England? Long way to go I know and our traditional batting collapse might still...

Not even close to being a contest as it stands, I’m guessing this is all about getting the batsmen minutes at the crease and trying to boost their confidence after some very poor results in the last 12 months?

I thought it was pathetic personally and yet another example of how the media whip football fans into a frenzy when these things happen. What happens if Liverpool had decided a season or 2 ago that he wasn't good enough? They'd have sold him like a contracted commodity, which essentially footballers...

Did anybody else notice him giving Jadon Anthony advice during the break in play whilst their keeper and the reaction by Anthony and several players when he almost immediately scored...brilliant.

I did - remarked on that to my lad, shows yet again what a superb team spirit there is at this club!

For what it’s worth I thought Hannibal throwing himself to the ground, with minimal if any contact, was terrible given the position he was in and that turnover led to their goal. He was excellent from then on however, perhaps fuelled by his desire to make amends?

How would feel about a player celebrating with a promotion rival as in Dion Charles celebrating with Bolton fans while being out injured for Huddersfield? A completely different situation, not even vaguely similar to the subject scenario, but in his instance I'd be surprised if he had permission to...

People moan and whinge that footballers have no connection with fans, no personalities, wrapped in cotton wool and kept away from the supporters. Then this happens, where a player, no doubt with the full blessing of Parker, attends an FA Cup Semi-Final involving his home city and the team he support...

As soon as they start imposing rules like ‘3 players maximum from any one team’ it stops being an awards ceremony based on merit and starts to become a quota system. It’s a joke, quite frankly, and undermines the entire thing.

That article doesn't explicitly say The Cynosure Group will be investing in Burnley, although the assumption is that our club will be the target for some of this £900m they are looking to invest across a number of 'projects'.

Maybe the club might look to get the sound system sorted so people can actually hear the announcements. Not that it's an excuse for anyone to go on the pitch. A fantastic sound system with announcements in clear English and any other languages required, aren't going to stop any complete two hat who...

Used to work at Adidas and was largely credited with landing the enormous kit deal MUFC have with them. Should only be a positive and will hopefully increase our revenue.

Not sure about the keeper, but Mavididi, Ndidi, Ricardo, Faes all look like players who would add to what we have and I'm sure would probably be looking for opportunities to stay in the top flight at their ages. Every time I've seen Faes he's been a complete calamity and not somebody I would want a...

At times, his first touch is poor. He obviously isn't physical, given his stature. He is at very best a top 6 Championship player, he will sink without trace in the Premier League. You’re not watching the same player as me then. His ability to control a ball, especially when running with it - is br...

He occupies opposition players and at one point last night, he had 5 players round him. To some extent he’s been thrown in at the deep end and has been lauded as our saviour. His arrival has coincided with some great form and he’s created more than he’s cost in terms of play and I’d rather he wore a...
