And got subbed off at half time

Whether that was pre planned or not the comments I’ve seen on X aren’t very complimentary

He didn't have much of an impact for sure.

Is that a good thing or a bad thing?

He was substituted on 46 minutes, so he got a run out unscathed so a positive for me.

Hasnt he just been called up by Albania ?

He started today against Gibraltar in a friendly.

Broja starts for Albania, live on Albania Super Sports 2 for those who can access it.

Recently, I prepared to cook some New Jersey Potatoes to mash with lashings of butter and chives to accompany a Sunday roast.

I boiled my own feet.

Do your feet resemble Jersey Potatoes?
Boiled or otherwise?

Ah well.

We always do better when we attack the Stretford End.
Excellent second half incoming.

Possibly.

Some proper characters in town over the years.

Is the man with the ghetto blaster who rides the bike still knocking about?

Yes, he lives in a flat on Yorkshire Street, he was outside his home entertaining the passing crowds before the Sunderland game.

Very good not the first time I’ve thought it but very similiar in style to Tony Adams. Prior to his injury and the subsequent arrival of Esteve, I thought he was the best centre half at the club. He reminds me of a young Vince Overson. Hopefully his injury is now behind him and he can crack on as t...

Interesting to read those pre 1951 names.

I now have my mum's autograph book which includes two full pages of a 1948 team.

I hope I have attached correctly

Proper signatures using a fountain pen, love it!

The photo Mayoclaret mentioned appears in the Claret Chronicles for season 42-43, a war-time season with a lot of scratch sides. In the photo, below, it is the same keeper.

I was wondering which trophy they were showing off.
Thanks!

Just cataloguing some old squad photos and need help. Can anybody put a season to this? My only clue is that Arthur Woodruff is on and he signed in 1936. No Jimmy Strong, Alan Brown or Harry Potts so I'm thinking pre-war. Any player IDs would be a bonus. IMG_3104.JPG . This one i haven't got a clue...

Homer. Should have given a yellow card at least for the forearm into the back of Foster's neck early in the first half. Penalty?, according to the laws of the game, yes. Away at Spurs?, unlikely. Refs say yes it was a foul anywhere else on the pitch, but nowhere else would it merit a unopposed kick ...

I always wince when players celebrate like that. I'm surprised more are not forbidden from doing it due to the potential injury risk OGS did a knee slide after scoring the late winner for ManU in the Champions League Final, he felt something 'go' and it led to a succession of injuries that ended hi...

Thanks' Tony, was any indication given as to what the attendance was?

36°C in Rome, 19°C in Burnley.
Must have felt a bit parky to them Romans.
Especially with no shirts on.

Also on Sunday, Read Cricket Club are hosting the Hamer Cup Final between Padiham and Little Lever.

They seemed to want the Jack walker one on X , with some shitty oasis lyric about never seeing what they’ve seen or some other shite

...and they'll never see it again.

30 years on, it's all they've got left, any fans under 35 , about half the population, won't remember it anyway.

With match day internet almost nonexistent I guess you’ll need to have all tickets in a phones wallet before setting off.

It's prudent to load the QR code in advance.

All I've got is "Your QR code will be available soon"

Yes that's correct, qr codes are usually released around 10 days before the match.

So what have I received from BFC so far that allows me to transfer my ST onto my phone?

You have to put the BFC app on your phone, log in and your tickets are there.
Either use the app ticket wallet or your phone's.

What exactly is the ‘work’ thats being done ?

Iv heard rumours that they are swapping the home and away fans round and moving the tunnel to the Bob Lord/CFS corner.

Bumped, credit where it's due, roundly derided by some but spot on it seems.

No one appears to have asked the most important question. Are we now all fans of Espanyol? Will we go to watch Espanyol when we are in Spain for our holidays? Perhaps, we will also plan weekends in Barcelona to take in a game. Will we be able to get tickets for some of Espanyol's big home games, Re...

I felt he was the best of the shortlisted candidates, but not certain how it would pan out especially as rumours of player departures were rife.
But, he rebuilt the team and got automatic promotion.

(At least) 3 Co-ops in Padiham when I was a kid. Peel St, Shakespeare St and Burnley Road across from the Padiham Building Society.

Just to add, the "bowel prep" was much more unpleasant than the procedure.

So very true.

As stated above, Martin Dobson

Signed for free, sold for around £300,000 that paid for the Bob Lord Stand.

He was also a dammed good player.

Or that they'll arrive before the first home game.
