There can only be one who wins this. The worst player ever to play for us (in my opinion).

Mark Caughey 8 appearances in 1987, he wasn't fit enough and was terrible

Wife n daughter there at the moment, not run out of the essentials like champagne!

Tony when was the last time (if ever) we signed a player who had played for England, in Englands last game before signing for us?

steve1264b

When was the last time we signeda current England international?

steve1264b

Man city played him when he was on bail only no one knew about it.

Arsenal will just say everyone is innocent until guilty.

They used to be a club of principle.

I remember when they refused to sit in the directors box at utd because utd had tapped up stapleton

Some good uns on there, but surprised to see The Malt and Hops in Chorley doesn't make it. Definitely one of my favourites tbf.

Exactly

Live about 2 miles from red lion wheelton, good pub, lots of real ale,music and food, surprised its in top 12 in lancashire!

Im 60 so missed the glorious 60s but got the 70s, when we got relegated i think everyone just assumed we would soon be back. 1980 saw us in the third tier (an unbelievable thought only 5 years earlier) then we had the joy of promotion in 82 with what we alll thought was the nucleus on a young team t...

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/cdd2egjrp31o They actually sold the ladies team to their holding company for £198m. That would be like ALK selling the ladies team to Calder Vale Holdings or Kettering capital or Velocity capital. Basically they bought it off themselves to ensure the men...

Also who at the club decided he was fit to come on as a substitute when the guy was nowhere fit i believe, he should have been tested just like in pre season and seen what is stats we're . For me the club as messed up if the guy as been seriously ill, let's hope if he is fit and selected to play th...

i hadn't realised that his previous coaching role at Gloucestershire had resulted in bottom of league 1 and the season after bottom of league 2!!

Its amazing Lancashire aren't even bottom of league 2!!

steve1264b

Im tempted by Sunderland at home, think those double saves were significant. A real season turner.

steve1264b

Interesting list, Obafemi with a surprisingly high number. 16 appearances for Tresor, i wonder how many minutes that is? Thought Hannibal might have had more than 8 appearances. Experience does count for something but its more important to have a hungry group of players keen to make a name for thems...

I don't think Rovers players were full time. If you were earning £15k you would need another job to survive.

Only one team can be promoted so it's another tough season ahead, we were well short last season if the truth be told. Venky-ettes (i love that rowls) are either on 15k or 9k each depending if they are full time or studying etc. So lets say 18 players on 15k is 270k a year plus additional costs such...

Chelsea "sold" chelsea ladies for 100 million which makes chelsea women's team more valuable than some premier league teams!!!

For me it was the 2-2 at home to Torquay. Leighton james penalty it what seemed like the 120th minute. Lashing down with rain. I think everyone on that game really got behind the team at 2-1down. My dad god bless him when we got back to the local challenged everyone to get on the tuf. I also remembe...

Nothing on the football league website, no mention of a presentation after the game at Plymouth on the Leeds website.

They have announced a parade and said there is no focal point so its not clear where they would receive the trophy.

6am took the dog out while listening to From the Bee Hole podcast.

Our debt does worry me in the sense that if we step off the yo-yo promotion relegation and become Watford we will have big trouble. Would i rather have prem football with people with local ties ensuring debt free accounts, obviously we all would. However, we've got debt and it's probably well over 1...

steve1264b

This is a big statement.

Only one club can be promoted from women's national league north, and we are a long way back this season.

Then its to the Championship which again is only one team promoted.

Full time is being paid for by the mens game but maybe they will be doing community coaching

steve1264b

We had this chat in 2023, i think its very disconcerting that we are unable to identify where this plaque is.

I always loved seeing it at the players tunnel.

I definitely think the club should do the same thing to commemorate the achievement and put the two of them together.

steve1264b

This is potentially the most exciting opportunity yet. The Eccles family have invested in Utah, and they maybe interested in developing a sports business in the UK. Im sure Mr Checketts has discussed Burnley (we must be as interesting as Bournemouth). To be honest I've been surprised at the lack of ...

im a 1972 boy but was 7, first years season ticket!! 81/82 special as its a long gap between 72 and this and we were had a terrible start. Little did we know that it would be another 10 years to what i think is everyones favourite promotion, the atmosphere at home games was unbelievable that season....

This was always going to get kicked into the long grass of summer, as was Richarlison throwing a flare into the crowd at Goodson. Got a three game ban after the season had finished, waste of time.

Bet he gets a transfer abroad and that will be that.

steve1264b

i wish Sean nothing but happiness, however there are a couple of buts here. Leicester can't sack RVN (and he won't leave with combo) because of financial fair play regulations until June. Also it isn't a done deal and they might have to keep him due to this. Im no expert here but aren't they now sub...

This has been a season of redemption for Parker.
The big test comes now, after Bournemouth questions remain.

However he seems to have grown this season, im sure he has reflected on the bumps on the road.

What we have now is a highly motivated young pragmatic manager.

steve1264b

I think the fact they have a couple of weeks to get used to the idea of playoffs helps them. They can give everyone a break, play those that needs some minutes. I would give them a few days off, take em out for a day and then get back on it. If the home fans can raise the roof for the last game that...

That third goalkeeper role is worth a fortune if your english with the rules as they are.

Best job in pro sport!!!

Hi Tony

Do you think Ramsey and Tresor will get another run out tonight?

steve1264b

Of course VAR can review decisions but if the ref blows for a foul, but play continues and ball goes in the net the goal will not count because the ref has blown to stop the game. VAR will not review the foul for which the ref has blown unless of course its a possible red card, but no matter if the ...

6 left 2 points a game means 96, enough for promotion last 5 years (haven't looked further back). 12 points would be hard to catch, Leeds would have to win 5 or win 4 draw 2 to pip us on goal difference. Tuesday night Leeds away at Boro and us at Derby. It could all turn again if we got beat and lee...

I know U21 football can be volitile but this thread prompted me to look at the prem league U21 league table. Chelsea are 4th, some surprise (for me anyway) Fulham are 2nd and Villa and Spurs are near the bottom. I see you can play 5 over age players. This looks very much like the old Pontins Combina...

steve1264b

I love this.

Highest return for goals from direct shots 6.8% 2019/20.

Just over 3% last season (prem stats).

Id say we were about average for direct free kicks!

Clubs are shooting less from direct free kicks as stats say its a waste of time.

It’s just because we have no decent left backs and suddenly one comes along who at least has potential. Otherwise it’s back to Chilwell, Cresswell, a CB playing at LB or a RB switching.

This! Its been a problem position.

steve1264b

Keep laughing, glad to help raise your spirts, gives your wife a night off. As long as you come back and admit you were wrong.

Its a great run and things are so tight, in the last 6 games we've only pulled one point back on both Leeds and Sheffield U.

Someone in the top 3 is going to to hit a bad run at a bad time.

Hi Everyone

There is a picture on the clubs facebook page i would like a copy off.

Does anyone know who the picture will belong to and how to contact them?

Thanks

steve1264b

I can't recommend this video enough, footage of the pitches wow.

Is it just me, but i love these old clips and always think about my grandad who would have been on those games. My mum has a picture of him on the back of a coal flatback lorry with others setting off for the game.

steve1264b

I would have thought its pretty obvious there is a medical issue with Tresor, whatever that is, so the club are bound by privacy issues and can't just announce what the problem is with our his permission. Something like a broken leg is obvious but what if its something not obvious like (AND I MAKE T...

He isnt fit enough, they have his training stats and it obvious they must be well below par

If Venky's are such fantastic and generous owners...how many of you would genuinely have them as owners of the Clarets? Something tells me the India flags would be nowhere to be seen in the face of such a scenario. I tell you what, i wish someone had been putting in 10m a year for the last 15 years...

steve1264b

Isn't it a bit strange that they haven't announced fixtures yet for this? Only a couple of weeks before the game, draw was made 3 days ago?

steve1264b

Nothing to do with the venkys, he has a release clause in his contract, Derby have allegedly met that release clause and Eustace wants to go. He was heavily linked with WBA but I'm guessing they decided against spending the "transfer fee" on him. Once a manager tells you they want to leave what woul...
