In the years we have been blessed with the gospel according to St Dermot on Sky he said over and over that VAR isn't there to judge yellow cards then why was Anthony given a yellow card?

A referee whose performances in the past sadly deserve comparison with a much smaller room in the house!

Are overage players allowed in these games? Would be highly useful for fitness/sharpness if they were.

Any ideas who the trialist is?

Near the end of the Man U Arsenal game Man U after spending about a quarter of a billion on strikers played Harry Maguire up front! Is that worth a discussion with Sir Jim?

It wasn't a blatant penalty A Burnley player deliberately taken out when the ball was "live" in the penalty area? OK nobody would have reached it before it went out of play. If it was given and the national press went ballistic, on what grounds? If it was at the other end and the national press wen...

Ekdal had a shocker. Most of whatever budget is left must go on a centre-half.

Here we go player ratings done before the match against players for some reason some won't give a chance to. Ekdal was as good as any Burnley player today

When Oliver was appointed it was said he is the number one! God help us when we have Robert Jones

Worked with a non footy fan bricklayer once who found it hilarious we had a forward line of Heath - Robinson. I didn't know what he was on about. Had the dubious pleasure of seeing it in action. Probably was ok having a six foot plus striker (combined that is) leaving Burnley almost playing with a ...

Very good player was Terry Hennessy, sad news

I don't know if he was the first but he did finally get his medal at Burnley but he does have both

Have a picture in an old football annual of the Dundee team. Some handy players Alan Gilzean, Ian Ure who had good careers in England later on

Petersa

Was he the first to get an English and Scottish League winners medal?
I know the Burnley one was received about 40 years later but should have been 1960. But the Dundee one was 1962

Petersa

Ronnie Welch, 1 appearance about 1970? I think went to Chesterfield

Petersa

Sad news indeed

I cut my Clarets teeth as a young boy watching Central League games with my Dad. I remember a buzz even with a comparatively small crowd when the two Willie's, Morgan and Irvine, were announced, I think they were about 17.

Thanks Willie for memories that have lasted all these years.

Last season we had a kit that was claimed to reflect the coal mining industry. Some of the crap you read when new kit is released takes some believing.

Some people just like to start a new thread on an old subject Perhaps extending the thread a little bit on a similar subject regarding a player who has had less playing time and less column inches than Mike Tresor, does anyone have any info on Shurandy Sambo? Since August at Sunderland I don't thin...

Poisoned chalice.He would have been better staying as the can lad at Spurs. Still nice payoff awaits just before Christmas.

Does that mean that a reset (ie Ange is on his way out) is likely with the rest going with him?

Michael and Will Keane Burnley vs Hull about 10? years ago.....twins as well!

Gillett on VAR

How does this clueless lump get a match let alone the Cup Final

Petersa

If Burnley are to stick with purple potion it may give Ashley something to put on his other buttock.

However although not over keen on the colour I think that it is more important who is inside the shirt than the shirt itself

Petersa

I tend to think that by the law of averages a promoted team will stay up next year whatever the expert prophets of doom may say. Whether that's Burnley I wouldn't like to say at this stage.

I know it’s incredibly unlikely but does anyone think Holjund from United will end up at one of the promoted teams

From what I've seen he would be a good signing for Bradford or Doncaster or Port Vale. Thats looks about his level

I suspect that those most annoyed by this neologism are those who feel most seen by it.

Only Ron Greenwood knew the WHU way.

I think it was when they could string 2 passes together, on mud quagmire, when others went longer.

Although as England manager he seemed to get travel sickness when outside London, he was of course born in Burnley

I always thought that our record stood until Arsenal beat it, but according to this Leeds, Forrest and Liverpool beat it before then. https://theanalyst.com/2024/11/the-longest-unbeaten-runs-in-the-premier-league Only Burnley and Arsenal did 30 in the same season. The others were over two seasons. ...

Lets hope it goes well

I presume these fees include what clubs pay to offload players surplus to requirements. Suspect if Man U eg can get rid of quite a few this summer then agents fees could be money very well spent.......at least better than what they paid to recruit some of them in the first place

Petersa

If I was a ref I dont think I would have voluteered for this one. Suspect it could be a tad fiesty......good luck Mr Webb!

I played cricket against Paul McKenzie on Ringstone Crescent and clean bowled him first delivery

If memory serves me correct that would be appropriate as he was a postman prior to joining Burnley

Paul Mckenzie about 1994

Whats the situation with loan players? Are they still eligable? Edwards, Anthony, Flemming et al?

Unless it was an all ticket game you went on the ground and then paid extra to go in the Enclosure. There was also an enclosure at the front of the other side. I can’t imagine remember the gates but they’d stopped charging by the time I started going on. Definitely remember the fencing and gates on...

kids didnt have to pay extra to get in , it was just sixpence.

In the few seasons before it closed they most certainly did.

Petersa

not sure, but to many it was "The Enclosure" the standing bit below the seated area. think it was only a "tanner" to get in. An extra tanner (six old pence = 2.5p for those under 70) you still had to pay the standard turnstile fee to get to the Enclosure in the first place. In my early days going o...

Extenuating circumstances......the referee was Robert Jones.....he hasn't got a decision correct yet that matters

Just seen the halftime highlights Ipswich / Villa ,......QED? He should have been sacked years ago.....does he ever get any thing right?

Petersa

That one was given specifically because the ref was *****. Same day we scored a goal he disallowed when Mee was bulldozed in the back of the head. It was either play on for a goal to us or a penalty (possibly a red card too.) Obviously the ref gave a free kick to Leeds. Extenuating circumstances......

Petersa

A good read and it wass a smashing performance. Tony, I am sorry, however, you have wished for a home draw so we will probably get Plymouth away just to keep the travelling fans happy! Good odds on another south coast team Plymouth, Brighton and Bournmouth still in....3 out of 15....possibly Exeter...

Well he didn’t get his league medal with Burnley until over a generation after 1960.

Arteta is clearly an excellent football coach no doubt about that. I have often wondered how good Arsenal could be if he spent more time coaching them as opposed to the countless inane interviews he gives to Sky Sports every week
