Do we know it’s a completely unilateral decision made solely by Alan Pace? For access things like this you’d imagine there would be some modelling to check the actual feasibility. The consequences of them being some real safety concerns would surely have been addressed and presumably ruled out. On t...

The top board was concrete if I remember rightly. The other 2 were spring boards.

Yep. Remember as an 8/9 year old I’d attempt a dive off the middle board, but would only jump off that top one. Definitely won’t have actually been as high as I remember it!

Indecisive

Brings back happy memories of the Thompson centre as a kid in the 90’s. At the time it felt a big climb to that top board.

Indecisive

He’s defo one of the players who I’m happy have played for the club. Quality player, always showed commitment and put effort in, contributed some great moments, also just seems like a great character and helped gel together what was undoubtedly a solid dressing room last year. He’s one of the player...

Indecisive

Does feel like someone is notable by their absence.

Indecisive

I’m very pragmatic about this kind of thing. Imagine he is probably mulling over offers. Wouldn’t be surprised if the better financial deal, involves going to a club where he’s more of a squad player, and where there’s a decent chance he won’t be straight into the 1st eleven. Maybe the West Ham/Ever...

Indecisive

I share Tribesmen’s uncertainty. He is 35 - relatively old for a high tempo game, as so many are likely to be next season. I don’t think Pep would have fallen out with him if Pep felt KW still had a major contribution to make to Citeh. And Milan didn’t seem keen to hold on to him. He has been an ex...

Indecisive

Tell you what.

I absolutely have faith in Parker to make the right call on this. And if Zeki lines up for us he will have my full backing, and absolute hope that he does the job for us.

Indecisive

Seen joey Barton quickly edited a post he made once the info on the drivers ethnicity was released.

Indecisive

Didn’t take a notorious racist long to insinuate just enough on social media to set off his rabid followers. Literally I looked on X at the very start as my partner was in Liverpool and she messaged to say there was a problem at the train station. I went on X for info and literally within minutes t...

Indecisive

Not necessarily wanting either to be the first game but really looking forward to going for the first time to Fulham away (don’t know how I’ve gone so many years and always missed that ground) , and Everton away (usually not a massive fan of new grounds, but i drive past it a lot and it looks impres...

Indecisive

Would find it difficult to find a way of criticising this. To be honest I do get the club would see it as highlighting; and potentially encouraging, what is probably a pretty small (but I guess they’d be keen to expand) international fan base. Feel like those negative about this have probably become...

Indecisive

Personally I think there is more damage done by head on head contact or worse elbow on head than a modern football. Far different to a wet lacer in the 60s and earlier. Tbh think I’d bow to the knowledge of the experts (neurosurgeons etc) on this. My understanding is it’s the pure repetition that d...

Indecisive

I’ve maybe a better question … Has a season EVER better illustrated that a a manager has a much better understanding of how to build, develop and handle a squad and tactics than the majority of football fans?? It’s not a snipe. Just doubt there’ll be a manager ever achieves the , criticism:actual su...

Indecisive

Well considering the topic is about do we expect some kind of loyalty from a local born fan I’m not sure any of those names really fit the bill. Brownhill however, now there’s a man who’s shown the club loyalty and will go down in the history books. Last year of his contract and could’ve easily for...

Indecisive

Trippier I think is the one who would likely improve us. Although he probably is getting close to that point where age really inhibits the ability to really compete in the premier league. It would be a pretty incredible coup, but tempting Tella back, would really get the fans backing. Does seem like...

Indecisive

He says in his interview he says we don't need to sell.and will only sell if it's an offer we can't refuse. To me that means players like Esteve shouldn't be going for less than £50 million and huge sell on clauses I mean he is likely to say that to be fair. Wouldn’t put us in the best negotiating ...

Indecisive

Really? They beat us up there when we had a scratch team out but they weren’t good. And I’m not sure they were much better than us on the Turf. Overall, Sunderland are nowhere near as good as us. Agree. Us, and Leeds really, were streets ahead of the rest of the league. I would say Sunderland have ...

Indecisive

That was an interesting watch. Comes across well in that interview. Reading between the lines on the Academy thread it seems some prominent members of this board maybe don’t have a particularly positive view of him. Tend to have a scepticism sometimes that there are hints of an automatic leaning aga...

Indecisive

Do think all the PA stuff for the celebrations was pretty weak. No reference to all the records broken etc. The introducing the players to the pitch etc. Just felt like no prep had gone into it. Anyway…. I wasn’t too bothered about the stay off the pitch stuff. That’s obviously been instructed and t...

Indecisive

nope, not seen one and I don't get why tbh I was slightly concerned that he wasn’t really featured on the clubs interviews. Maybe I’m reading too much into it. Paranoid side of me thought it was maybe intentionally as they are expecting an imminent decision and didn’t want any awkward questions. I ...

Indecisive

No post match from Brownhill?

Indecisive

Absolutely not.

Indecisive

As much as anything, I’ve got so much time for the character he has shown absolutely consistently since joining. No drama. No sign of ego. No bowing to pressure… which at times I felt was peddled in the media as much as our fan base (the ‘boring’ criticism). He’s took over a club that had everything...

Indecisive

Nail on the head - this is BRILLIANT https://x.com/BurnleyOfficial/status/1918674987830985078 That is brilliant in the changing rooms. Didn’t quite have the same impact on the pitch. And there was a flatness overall for the promotion celebrations from the stands. Think the last minute goal for Leed...

Indecisive

I think he's a very good player, I think he would benefit from playing in a structured team, and I do think he has the ethos to fit in with what Parker has built at Burnley. Would like to see him stay and be a part of the squad next season. On balance probably my feelings. And my gut instinct is Pa...

Indecisive

Haven’t had time to read through the thread. To me, I liked amdouni. He clearly had natural ability, quality and confidence. One thing that I think is absolutely crucial now is that a player will HAVE TO fit in with the proper team spirit and willingness to ‘graft’ for the team, that I feel parker h...

Indecisive

Not even a debate , I would love us to win the league and feel Parker as much as anyone deserves that. Re. Blackburn I’ve Blackburn supporting friends and wouldn’t begrudge them and their kids a Wembley trip. Actually would see another upside being it would be one less relegation slot to fight to av...

Indecisive

I do get we are biased but who has the been comparable for consistency and assuredness as a centre half at his age? Possibly Cahill the strongest comparison, but he has experience alongside. Esteve’s reading of the game, positioning and decision making, is next level. As has been pointed out it is a...

Indecisive

I could see him fancying playing in Europe. He’ll have a lot of options and he’s in a perfect position for negotiating himself a great deal. If he stays I’ll be happy. If he goes he’ll absolutely leave with nothing but gratitude for what he’s given the club. He’s been a fantastic player for us, and ...

Indecisive

Those values for Trafford and Esteve 🤣. Whatever the value. I am just really hoping we find a way of keeping them happy and starting next season. We are really fighting the odds anyway with the way the game has gone, but those two particularly are top 6 quality comfortably. To replace them you are e...

Indecisive

If there’s one thing I’m pretty confident of with Pace, it’s that the only way Esteve will be leaving, is for a really huge fee. It might be the case that we lose him and Trafford, but I really really want to see how the trio of Trafford, Esteve and CJ play together regularly (for us!) in the Prem. ...

Indecisive

As a Burnley fan for 30+ years to have Pope follow up Heaton, I thought we were incredibly lucky.

But Trafford is a decent step up from those two imo.

He is going to be world class.

Literally got in from work and saw it was still playing so flicked it on at 118 mins. Jesus Christ that was some ending

Indecisive

For whatever reason I fell into the trap when he was with us of thinking he’d changed. Couple of interactions with him around the ground and he seemed quite pleasant. But like pretty much everyone can agree with. He’s proven without doubt he is just rotten to the core. Now I’m slightly embarrassed o...

Indecisive

Actually struggling with this one. Who would make the cut for you? Esteve and Cj are so strong now, but I was impressed by O’Shea. Berge walks into a starting 11, loved him. Other shoe in for me would be Trafford. Would you have Vitinho in? Would amdouni make the cut? How close would we be to surviv...

Indecisive

I went in last week and got two steak bakes and a small loaf of bread - nothing special to be honest and cost me £8.30. Tbh without going off on a political tangent, £8.30 for that, with what the cost of employing people is going to be for business of this nature… is really not that much at all. Pr...

Indecisive

it's on youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dzWLy6JVLxU Watched it. Jesus, he is just genuinely very likeable. Would defy any Burnley fan to pick holes in anything he’s said and done whilst representing us (actually I’ll maybe allow questioning the number of references to bene n hot in the earl...

Indecisive

100% there’s ultimately some financial motivations for him. Often I’m pretty cynical about PR and always take what people in JJ’s position say with a pinch of salt. But if it is mainly PR, he is an absolute master at it, because he consistently comes across well, and very genuine. He talks about his...

Indecisive

How is he fortunate? It’s best just not to bite :D . Must say one thing that has struck me, is just how together and tight knit the team is this season. Probably read more negative than positive about Parker upon joining, but one thing he absolutely appears to have, is the ability to galvanise a te...

Indecisive

Very easy for Preston fans to draw comparisons with the j rod incident. Also fair enough for people to highlight the ‘previous’ of both Shelvey, and also our fanbase. The plane at city for eg, and tbh it’s not an awful long time since I heard really racist widespread chanting at ewood (early 2000’s ...

After reading an autobiography on Musk (Walter Isaacson written), one thing that left me slightly concerned was the level of influence Elon had on Ukraines defences with him dictating how starlink could be used. Over the past 12 months this one man’s influence has accelerated at a scary rate. The ex...

Indecisive

Where have you got the 80% chance from? We are drawing far too many games 0-0 for it to be bad luck on the strikers part. I’m talking about this game. Some of those 0-0’s, (Leeds for example) we created nothing. I thought that was a decent performance and a good watch. Frustrating we didn’t win. Bu...

Indecisive

I like this Burnley team…. They look like a Burnley team should. They work hard, they’re a proper team, they’re good characters. Fine margins today too many big chances missed. But that’s football. 100%. 9/10 out of ten we bury one of those chances and come away with three points. Some fans don’t l...

Beer duty reduced by 1p. All brewers other costs continuing to rise and the likely impact for pubs will be the cost of the beer to buy in for them has likely gone up by around 10p a pint from 1st feb. Realistically you are going to see the average cost of a pint go up a pretty decent amount by April...

Don’t normally agree with what he has to say but Simon Jordan summed up exactly my thoughts on Scott Parker and our season so far.

Indecisive

Nothing to do with us at all though of course, right? Yeah we played well at Plymouth. For me we’ve played ok tonight. We haven’t created chances, but this Leeds and Plymouth are literally chalk and cheese. Another imperious performance from our centre halves In some ways I think Leeds have tempere...

Of course there’s differences but there not that big. Plymouth drew with Sunderland the other day.

They arguably played a bit better against Sunderland. Against us that was about as bad as I’ve seen a Championship team play first half in a very, very, long time.
