There will be games going on at Burnley CC during August, September, April and May, so it's impossible for it to be away fans only.

My Dad was manager of Taskers in Brierfield from when it opened about 1964. He retired about 1979/80ish and they closed it not long after. I used to work there in the late 60s after school, stacking shelves

It annoys me when people say it doesn't do any harm. I remember after the last game of the Kompany promotion season, we were in the lower Longside with our 9 year old grandson. He was knocked flying by yobs pushing past to run on the pitch after the Cardiff game. Luckily he was ok, but he was knocke...

I think the rule in the FACup was that, if there was a clash of shirts, both teams had to change.

My 5 year old grandson only moved from Bournemouth to the Rhondda in May of last year. He can now speak and sing in Welsh. It's taught in every school in South Wales.

It will almost certainly be on at Taylor's Lounge on Ave San Francisco.

I'll be on the train. Takes about 25 minutes from Bournemouth

If we get through in the FA Cup, it will be off.

If that was a penalty, so was the foul on Flemming. If the ref had given that, I don't think people would be arguing about the Sonne one.

Paulclaret

I was watching on TV and couldn't believe what I was seeing. It started early on when there was a clear foul on Anthony which wasn't given and the refereeing went downhill from then on!

Paulclaret

It's amazing how people see referees differently. On the Watford board, some are complaining that he gave us everything

Trafford

I only watched the game on tv and I thought he was very good. With regard to the 'penalty', when they slowed it down at half time, it looked like a definite penalty as their player had his arm outstretched when the ball hit it and I think it would have been awarded with VAR. However, the same thing ...

There's plenty of 21 year old players at Championship level and above. And your point is? There are plenty of players around 21 already in the Burnley 1st team. I believe the coaching staff know better than fans when players are ready for the first team. No point in throwing in youngsters who the s...

Paulclaret

People were complaining that Trafford was being picked in the first team because he wasn’t ready. If young kids are put in the first team and they end up getting abuse, it could potentially ruin their careers.

Paulclaret

Sorry but the ref was in no position to see of there was a push. The lino would have been though. Did he speak to the ref via audio. If he did he needs to resign. The fact that, in our opinion, the ref was in no position to see is totally irrelevant. VAR would only interfere if there was a clear an...

Paulclaret

VAR would have made no difference last night. They would not have overturned the referee's decision, because he did touch the defender and they would have said it was down to the ref's interpretation of the so called 'foul'.

Paulclaret

His legal name is Enock Agyei, but he uses the name Boateng on his shirt in honour of his mother who passed away. It was her surname.

Paulclaret

The overall coverage on Clarets + seems so poor these days. The last extended highlights I can see is for the Portsmouth game. Only very brief highlights of recent ones. They also used to show a highlights package from pitch side, which I used to enjoy, but they haven’t shown those for ages.

Paulclaret

I think 'awful' is praising it too much.

Paulclaret

If we win today and Sunderland fail to win at Watford, we would go top.

https://footballleagueworld.co.uk/fa-pushed-to-punish-burnleys-hannibal-mejbri-for-leeds-united-incident/ Former UEFA official,who I’ve never heard of and who is obviously a Leeds fan is calling for Hannibal to be punished by the FA for winding up their fans as he walked round the pitch. Don’t for o...

Paulclaret

I know it wasn't the 'main' Championship game on Sky yesterday, but was it just me who found the commentary appalling. It was summed up by the Leeds penalty claim when they actually said that the ref had to be absolutely sure NOT to award the penalty! I think they will find the laws of the game say ...

Paulclaret

I've always wondered that. It's amazing how many players suddenly pick up an injury just before they're transferred, but then pass the medical without any problems. Suddenly pick up an injury? Both Berge and JBG are clearly shown having teatment on the club video in Spain, when the other players ar...

Paulclaret

Only have vague memories when I was a child of watching Jimmy play, but got to know him when he was a sports reporter for the local paper and I was the scorer for Burnley CC. A nicer man you couldn't possibly meet, even if his knowledge of cricket wasn't the best

Leeds have hit the bar 3 times in the opening 6 minutes.

I think they’ll take some stopping this season.

Maybe, but Portsmouth look totally out of their depth.

Paulclaret

Does the 3pm blackout not apply any more? I see the Community Shield is on ITV at 3pm at the same time as League 2 games. What happened to protecting the smaller teams?

Paulclaret

Just ordered it. Best of luck with it.

Paulclaret

You are completely and utterly missing the point. All Fulham, Bournemouth and Brugge fans slag him off. The odd person slagging off Dyche, Danish guy, RVN etc is very very different altogether. Your spouting absolute garbage as usual. I live in Bournemouth and most people I know thought he did a go...

Paulclaret

3 points from their opening games against Villa, Arsenal, City and Liverpool (okay a shocker) isn’t exactly ‘out of depth’ material, for a newly promoted club, surely. I fully agree, I live down here and that seems to be the general view of Parker by Bournemouth fans and the fact that they definite...

Paulclaret

My son-in-law is a Bournemouth fan and said that Parker was brilliant for them in the Championship but was out of his depth in the Premier League. It has to be noted that Bournemouth sacked him after 4 games! Yes, that was after he spoke out after they got thrashed 9-0 at Liverpool, but he obviously...

That is a real slog on the train (even if all the journeys ran as planned). Shame we don't have any games vs Bournemouth or Southampton for you this season As you say, the train journey is a real slog, but it's better than driving :) . I was really hoping Southamptom wouldn't go up, but at least th...

Paulclaret

I know I won't be coming up much next season. I'm 'only' 70 but the driving is becomming more tiring. Before lockdown, I regularly got the train from Bournemouth which cost around £80. Now, in order to get to Burnley on time, I'd have to drive to Southampton and then get the train and the cost is ar...

This is awful news. Probably my favourite Burnley player ever. I remember travelling on a coach to a game in the early 70s, reading the magazine 'Football League Review'. There was an article on Taffy headed 'Young, Gifted and Thankfully Welsh'. It's amazing what things you remember at times like th...

Is there a reason they just didn't give Madley or Robinson the Everton v Forest game?

Paulclaret

I saw some kind of article/analysis last week which had a league table of bad VAR decision that had gone against and for Premier League Clubs. We was about 14th with a few more going against us than for us and surprisingly some of the bigger clubs like Liverpool and Newcastle were below us. Think t...

Paulclaret

I think you could see how referees think by Mike Dean's reaction on Sky. "It's a penalty, he felt a touch and went down, like a good striker". Since when has any 'touch' been a foul?

Cheers Paul, hopefully meet up next week , to celebrate Captain's life.
And in his words we will have look at the taps & give the buffet a tickle.

We'll be there

Paulclaret

Thanks for putting this on Steve. Andrew was my friend for 50 years and the Best Man at my wedding. He was a thoroughly good bloke and an obsessive Claret. We spoke every week even after I moved down south and I will miss him enormously. RIP mate.

Paulclaret

I've no problem with us having a new ref, they've got to start somewhere, but what a surprise that none of the 'big' clubs have to deal with them. Try them out on the smaller clubs, so nobody will bother if they make a cock up.

Paulclaret

Last season, the moron at Bournemouth thumped it constantly throughout the game. Their fans didn't sing or chant in time with it. All it was was a bloody awful noise!

Paulclaret

I remember him from St Ted's. I was in the same class as him for a few years. Very sad news. I didn't know he was a 'neighbour' of mine, down the road in Poole. RIP Dermot.

The postal service is a mess at the minute. I posted a birthday card to my sister and it took 8 days to get there and that was 1st Class!

Has he ever been seen since or was he never really a Burnley fan?

Apparently he was a fan, if a totally deluded one. He passed away in 2009

Has anybody received their Membership Pack yet? Not partcularly important I know, but I bought the standard membership over 2 weeks ago and although I did receive a confirmation email and did manage to buy some tickets, I haven't received the pack yet. Thanks.

I'm absolutely disgusted with this membership scheme. I was a season ticket holder for over 50 years but moved down to Bournemouth 9 years ago. I kept my season ticket until 2 years ago, but eventually cancelled it as I can now only get to 1 or 2 games a season. I've started bringing up my 9 year ol...

No. Seedhill was demolished many years ago. Nelson play at Little Wembley, not too far away on the other side of Carr Road.
