My new locally based charity Rainbow Collective will be running half term HAF style camps at both locations this October half term. Free for all with hot food. We also cater for complex SEND so we are fully inclusive. No one pays a penny! You can follow me on social media @scott23875 for more detail...

He is an illegal immigrant. Stick him in a bed sit on Yorkshire Street and have him volunteer at Church on the Street full time. I guarantee within a week he’ll be knocking on Scott’s door and declaring himself fit. That’s player care 101. He’s a Zombie currently and we’re enabling him. Kaizen think...

It is no wonder nobody has any idea what "woke" means when it is now used to describe someone who is injured

Are you Joey Barton in disguise? Let me guess you think Jeremy Corbyn should be PM. Am I right?

Woke nonsense. Too much sports science involved here. Great that we are wrapping the young millionaire’s head in cotton wool. Not good that we are wrapping his body in cotton wool. Name him as community ambassador and make him work for BfC in the Community. The Beautiful Game is 24/7 in Burnley. Get...

The fact that this wasn’t played at a stadium highlights the laughable state of the clubs commitment to women’s football. El Classico in all its formats deserves the full power of the PR machine behind it. The clowns in charge of the circus haven’t a clue. Could have offered to play this at a packed...

Old Trafford 8 - working as understudy to Donnarumma will really pay off for him in the long run Walker 9 - leader. You’ll never beat him.

I invented the ideal product about 15 years ago ago called #KNIFE~GUARD. Think Heston Blumental Specs x swimming goggles with a soft foam insert. They worked a treat.

Just got in to discover my Villa tickets haven’t arrived yet

order them on Tuesday and thought it’d be plenty of time.

Has anyone had any experience of this and got advice of what to do next? I’ll try and contact the ticket office in the morning but don’t know if there’s anything they can do?

Billy O'Rourke is nowhere near our worst keeper. Seems a lot of people put him down because of the famous 7-0 on his debut. He was only 19, thrown in the deep end in front of the TV cameras and was badly let down by his defence that day. Left the field in tears and was named man of the match by the ...

Indeed you did CT. I was just making the distinction that there is no requirement to have any HGPs, contrary to popular belief that you must have 8

Formerbfcmanager

Danny Ings wouldn't have needed to be listed as homegrown or not 3 years ago if he met the criteria for u21 that year. To clarify the rules on homegrown. An HGP means a player who, irrespective of nationality or age, has been registered with any club affiliated to The Football Association or the Foo...

Formerbfcmanager

This explains it There's actually a subtle difference in the actual rules. There is no requirement to have 8 homegrown players, the rule actually states that you can have no more than 17 players that do not fulfil the homegrown criteria and the rest, up to a maximum of 25, must be home grown. It is...

Available on a permanent deal, could be a canny buy. Quality player plus a fellow Belgian could help keep Defour happy

Wrong on all 3 counts. He's actually based in Portland, and lived in the U.K. from age 8 til about 3 years ago when he relocated his family. I presume he payed tax during that time, unless you've seen his tax returns.

No point doing this £30 cap if concessions are nearly as much. Concessions should always have to be half price or less imo

I'd be astonished if it was Duff given the priority is the first teamers and he doesn't have anything to do with them. I'd guess it'll be Dyche and Duff at Alfreton and Woan, Loughlan and Farrell at Kidderminster. Either way I'll be at Alfreton to lend Sean a hand if required

I'd imagine Ian Woan will

By first team squad I presume you mean players who train together, seeing as we can only name 25 players in our Premier League squad? Those additional players could of course be used in cup games but 30/31 seems a bit heavy to me. As others have said it's 25 players plus an unlimited number of u21s...

Cork was great for us and is highly experienced at this level. The signings we are making and being linked with say to me that Dyche is very keen to recruit the personnel nedded to allow a change from 4-4-2 if the situation might be needed. Walters allows us the option of playing him as a wide forw...

Ideally we need 4 centre backs I think. We've been lucky with injuries and suspensions over the last 2 seasons.
