No mention of the great (!) Richard Huxford??

A mystery how he didn’t go further in the game!!

Mark Monnington was tried at right back until he tried to take out the entire Rochdale team in front of the longside!

Steve-Harpers-perm

Comes across really well in this interview and his class has been obvious to see in the games so far. Really surprised we managed to sign him over other clubs in this league.

The evolution of right backs in my time watching the clarets is wonderful
Peter Daniel
Gary Parkinson
Dean West
Trips
Kyle walker.

You’ve missed Ian Measham and Paul France off the list!!

Steve-Harpers-perm

He is dreadful. VAR stadium annoucements absolutely made for him. Hope he remembers to style his hair for the cameras.

Weiss 5 Sonne 3 Pires 4 Worrall 4 Tunazaebe 4 Humprhies 4 Hannibal 6 Les 4 Edward’s 4 Fleming 5 Broja 4 Subs 4 (Tresor 6).

Steve-Harpers-perm

An absolutely awful display of football. No intensity whatsoever. Another cup calamity to add to our growing collection.

Steve-Harpers-perm

Totally agree it is totally stupid what we are supposed to do leaving the ground. I really cannot see the reason for this change. It was awful today what with the coach and the bottleneck. We were ****** wet through, by the time we got back to the car. Maybe the people who made this decision, shoul...

Steve-Harpers-perm

Excellent performance. As above we look to have made some excellent signings.

Steve-Harpers-perm

Dubravka 9
Walker 9
Esteve 8
Hartman 8
Ekdal 8
Laurent 7
Cullen 8
Florentino 8
Anthony 7
Tchaouna 7
Foster 7

Bar another slow start lots to be pleased about. Both our full backs and keeper I thought were excellent.

Steve-Harpers-perm

The same linesman who gave a throw to Liverpool in injury time which was clearly ours. So rather than us running down the clock and giving our defence our breather, they go up the other end and score. Difficult to decide between incompetence and bias - neither one reflects well on the officials. He...

Steve-Harpers-perm

You can’t really ask for much more than what we saw today every player digging deep. A real sense of team spirit which is going to be key for us. Roll on next Saturday.

Steve-Harpers-perm

Ekdal superb today.

Steve-Harpers-perm

A. Decision making- 15 B. Consistency 18 C. Fitness and Positioning - 22 D. Control and Authority - 18 Overall he didn’t do a lot wrong and got the big decisions right. Kerkez was rightly booked and the penalty was a penalty. The sending off was right. As others have said and I agree, it is the num...

Steve-Harpers-perm

Superb effort by every player. Proper Burnley.

Steve-Harpers-perm

Supposedly the best isn’t he? Says it all really.

Steve-Harpers-perm

Dreadful decision but another poor finals day performance to add to the book for Lancs.

Steve-Harpers-perm

I've been with Octopus for quite a while and smart meters fitted. Fabulous until things go awry which they did last December. No signals, no data. The bills I received were, of course, estimated but when compared with the previous year's useage they seemed reasonable until I received a bill that, h...

Steve-Harpers-perm

Problem they've got down there is some of the youngish players, not the really young ones who've only just made their debuts this season, have got far too much to say for themselves whilst averaging 5 with the bat!! That club needs a real tough Aussie, Kiwi or Bok to be the pro, to kick some ass in...

Steve-Harpers-perm

Villa’s Cash lucky to get away with a yellow earlier.

Steve-Harpers-perm

Managed to jump on a bus on Chester Road then x43 from Shudenhill and back in Rossendale for 7 so not bad going.

I dread looking for the Rawtenstall scorecard these days.

It’s been another long season! Hopefully they manage to get a decent all rounder pro and a couple of the younger lads who’ve gained experience this year push on next season.

Steve-Harpers-perm

Unsurprisingly Bacup chase down 34 against Rawtenstall.

Steve-Harpers-perm

Not sure about that. It's well worth discussing, on a transfer thread that is clearly supposed to be about rumoured players only, which of our existing players will leave if we get relegated, especially in August after just three league games. Indeed!! Especially when it is so difficult to start a ...

Steve-Harpers-perm

Anyway back to this season and some links for the last 26 hours…

Jones wasn’t on duty today or may well have been stood down.

Shame it won’t be permanently.

Steve-Harpers-perm

Sure they will sort all the issues out at tomorrows team briefing after they’ve finished high fiving each other over all the controversy they’ve caused once again.

We are worse at set pieces all over the pitch since this new guy arrived who is paid to improve these

Apart from the one we scored from yesterday.

Steve-Harpers-perm

Let’s not forget with VAR you’ve got the officials watching from a screen a few hundred miles away who feel the need to be part of the ‘show’ every week. Keep their names in the press.

Steve-Harpers-perm

We think we have been hard done by - don’t know what you’d think if you’re a Fulham fan tonight. There’s no big club bias though - honest. An absolutely horrendous, ridiculous decision Saw the Fulham one in the pub in the game before the match absolutely ridiculous decision. If ever a ref was made ...

Steve-Harpers-perm

Never really rated him but thought again he was good today.

Steve-Harpers-perm

No twix bars.

Steve-Harpers-perm

Typical ref at old Trafford. Big shout out to the linesmen right at the death who waved for a corner then quickly changed his mind.

Steve-Harpers-perm

First half dreadful lucky not to be out of sight (not sure 5 at back works for us).

Second half thought we were superb and well worthy of a point. Cracking atmosphere in away end.

Steve-Harpers-perm

VAR once again being used to manage games. Away from that there was a classic after they went 3.2 up where linesmen flagged for a corner for us then changed his mind! Again more talking points to fill the 24 hour sky sports news for start of next week.

Genuinely don’t think I’ve ever seen a game referred by Rob Jones where the fans are not singing about how useless he is.

I feel sorry for his family when he forces them to rewatch the games he’s been involved in.

Steve-Harpers-perm

Fulham goal at Chelsea ruled out by VAR. I’ve heard about it on the radio so haven’t seen it but the commentary team are appalled at the decision. Referee Rob Jones sent to the screen by Michael Salisbury. Jones absolutely loving being in the limelight announcing that decision. No idea where he was...

Any of them offered to drive him to the Turf?

Someone must have a mate who is a Benfica season ticket holder.

Steve-Harpers-perm

I don't travel too often on the trams in Manchester but when I do I just tap on and off and have never had any issues when it comes to payment. I think the price quoonbeatz has quoted is if you use tram & bus. If you just use the tram the most you will pay is £4.90 and that's only if you go into Zo...

Steve-Harpers-perm

This weird obsession with footballers who are already millionaires having to move to the Middle East to ‘set themselves up for life’.

Steve-Harpers-perm

After the game I tend to avoid the tram stop by the cricket ground as it gets absolutely rammed (and I'm told Pomona is similar) and I walk across the lines and down Warwick Rd South and it brings you to Firswood tram stop. This I've found relatively quiet and has the advantage of getting you on th...

Waiting for breaking news on Sky. Any survivors?

Steve-Harpers-perm

He will have an host of offers on the table but this is his last European pay day at 29 so he will want it to be right. I personally think he will end up in Italy or France and definitely not the MLS or Far East. That will be his last move not this. If he had a host of offers he would have signed f...

Steve-Harpers-perm

A massive shame as he was fantastic in Kompany’s first season. Also comes across in his interviews really well.

Steve-Harpers-perm

I like Luca, but he's extremely limited and isn't a big loss if he goes. He has pace, he can get you off your seat, but ultimately he runs down blind alleys and produces very little. That's why SP dropped him last season. In hindsight, it was a huge mistake not selling him last summer. He now needs...

Steve-Harpers-perm

Odds on Sunday morning nothing has really happened apart from it taking a few minutes longer for some to walk back to your car/bus station/ pub of choice….. let’s hope we win!

Steve-Harpers-perm

Has anyone thought to contact other clubs in premier league to see how they manage their bottlenecks?

Steve-Harpers-perm

I really hope everyone survives walking off the turf Saturday.

Steve-Harpers-perm

Watched the 2nd half good game and an amazing save at the death. Good start to the season for Bradford.

Steve-Harpers-perm

It’s certainly become an over complicated game from some on the sidelines. Hopefully a new ‘pivot’ role can be identified and implemented this season to go along with trying to out score the opposition!
