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...

I've subscribed to DAZN for a few years and I can't bring myself to use the name "Da Zone", it sounds like a bunch of rappers or something like that :lol: :roll: I say the name as it's written.

Don't think this has been posted glancing through the posts but, Toronto have reportedly offered him a huge bump. "According to TBR Football’s chief correspondent Graeme Bailey, TFC submitted a £20 million (USD 27.25 million, CAD $37.23 million) offer for the 29-year-old. TFC executives reportedly ...

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!

Cheshireclaret

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'.

I've got my Hang-glider packed to take a week on Saturday ready to swoop onto the pitch from the JHU at the end of the game 😁 51b63ee34da9aff0d1a0e946b2f4270a_t.jpeg Make sure it's the end of the game, we don't want a repeat of the scenes when the parachutist got stuck on the Cricket Field Stand ro...

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...

There's no question the six inches between his ears have been his downfall in the past.

Didn't Charlie Austin have an ongoing issue with his shoulder - having dislocated it once, I seem to recall he then had 2 or 3 spells out with further shoulder injuries across his career?

As I’ve always said, sorting a forward line out is easier than sorting a defence out. He’s nailed the latter and we’ve improved the former slowly but surely. Still a lot of football to be played but today we put the other two on the canvas in the 6th round. They take a standing 8 count and we move o...

I'm really enjoying it myself, but strangely the TV critics don't seem to share that view and have criticised it for being too cliched and for poor acting. I don't think that's the case at all, on either front.

Antony’s first touch is the best I’ve seen of any Burnley player since Doug Collins His first touch is sublime, without fail. CJ pings balls to him at all sorts of speeds and trajectories and whether he needs to pluck a ball out of the air or take a touch to spin an opponent it's an absolute joy to...

I’ve been one of the biggest critics of our set piece coach and rightly so in terms of attacking set pieces. Since Edwards has been on corners he’s put two or three right into the six yard box and caused problems - a PE teacher could tell you that tactic, never mind a set piece coach. Some of the ot...

One of my biggest frustrations when organising matches as a coach of kids Rugby is when parents ask ‘what’s the postcode please?’ on Spond, or WhatsApp. A screenshot of Google with the answer still doesn’t cause the penny to drop!

I note that they have been allocated a Premier League referee in Stuart Attwell, albeit the original referee scheduled for this was Craig Pawson (also a Premier League referee) and he was dropped at the last minute because he is supposedly a Sheffield United fan.

It’s certainly not a must win, it’s the 28gh game in a 48 game season and at worst we’ll be 5 points off second, 6 off top.

I’m not going to bother rating him - he was an absolute stinker of a ref who should be ashamed and embarrassed at that performance tonight. But no, he’ll be back reffing midweek somewhere.

I went in 94 or 95 (probably) and it was a proper feisty affair off the pitch! It was 0-0 and Shaka Hislop had what I still say is one of the best performances from a keeper I can remember seeing before or since! From memory it was hosing down and the terrace had no lid on it.
