Why the hell has he allowed to take it from there when the foul was inside the D, if it was even a foul!!

Also, why wasn't the push in the back of Edwards given?

Provided its not taken nearer to the goal it does not matter how far they go back.

I was seven at the time and had just started to go to Turf Moor, I listened to the radio commentary on the BBC Light Programme with Raymond Glendenning who appeared to me to be anti Burnley and Allan Clarke who was more neutral. This excellent film brought back some memories of not only the heavy pi...

The middle part of the stand was called Stand A

At both ends it was Stand B

Just a quick question. Have the officials confirmed it was for offside everyone is assuming that because the Assistant Referee flagged. How was the game restarted was it a direct or indirect free kick?

I've changed the thread title because I've now seen this article. https://trainingground.guru/articles/roden-replaces-rhodes-as-burnley-restructure-medical-and-performance Rhodes going is not bad news from what I have heard.

Nothing wrong with decision just bad defending.

Thought that Burnley played well today. Should have won, two glorious chances in added time.

Try mrgamingstreams. Then soccer and choose your match

Just give credit where credit is due. Arsenal are a very good team and would have probably beaten most teams with that display.
Just think Burnley use to demolish teams like that in the late fifties and early sixties

Cannot fault the effort but Arsenal are an excellent team with worls class players.

They were brave, they had a bigger pair on them collectively than most of the generations that followed no doubt, but unfortunately they were more easily led. Cannot agree we were more easily led.

That is terrible remark to make about anyone let alone a young player

Those were the days. In the late forties and early fifties if you were so inclined you could stand behind the goals at the BeeHole end for the first half and then move to the cricket field stand for the second half.

The question is why change the auditors so late in the financial year? Is it because the previous auditors refused to sign off on the accounts? Part of Auditor's job is to report to the shareholders whether the accounts give a true position on the financial state of the company. In any case, a chang...

:D My mistake, I thought we were talking about the terracing at the front of the long side that was sectioned off for younger fans, so that they could see the game easier. At 24 years old, obviously you weren't. 😃 No problem. I was responding to someone who had seen the Cup tie against Everton from...

To the best of my knowledge the only time I saw a game from the enclosure was a cup tie vs Everton, February '62, won 3-1. Down 0-1 at half time, Miller equalised shortly after the restart with a bomb from outside the box. I think Connelly and Robson scored the others. No idea why I remember the de...

[code] [/code] If I remember correctly Burnley did play in Claret and Blue. It must be the film which only shows everything in black and white. Stood in the enclosure for that match, which was in the front of the now Bob Lord stand. Good to see Jimmy Mac beating his man and crossing form the goal l...

Remember both competitions in late 1940's and early 1950's. The Keighley Cup was played between Rosegrove, Abel Street (Barden), St Mary's and Towneley. Could be wrong but don't remember the Grammar School playing. The final was on Turf Moor usually in April or May. The Hospital Cup. was played on R...

Probably a better idea to look at the number of chances we create first and foremost.

No striker in the world is gonna score if the ball isn't getting to him.

True if supporters can see that why can't the management.

We need three plus a couple of midfielders

Just be fined £80,000 and given a nine months driving ban for two motoring offences by crashing into stationary cars. Grealish had already points on his licence for a speeding offence. Seems to be a bit of an idiot.

You csnt simply pile all the blame at the door of the government. You cannot. Yes the government will have some questions to answer but.

A manger who guided us to 10th should go? Ok mate. You are living in the past. The present position is played three and lost three and have zero points. To put another way Burnley are next to bottom in the league and twelve points behind the leaders. Mr Dyche's record this season is one of the wors...

Usually when there is a disagreement at the top of a organisation it starts to affect other people and this has been the case for the last two or three matches. Players have not reached the standard shown a few weeks earlier. They have been half yard slower than the opposition lacking basic skills s...

Hi lancastrian, just a couple of my thoughts on the "five long years" timeline. From US perspective Japan's attack on Pearl Harbour took place in Dec-1941. US was only in the 4th year of their "second world war." More importantly, from Asian perspective, Japan invaded Manchuria, part of China in 19...

Posters on here dicussing this as though it happened recently. It was in 1945 after five long years of wartime conditions People just wanted the war to end and a return to normality and if, dropping two atomic bombs, ended the war then so be it. Most of you cannot inagine what it was like. We have j...

I read it to mean that without a longer term commitment, players are not going to commit to the short-term and possible injuries this could risk. Fair enough. I'd still make myself available whilst under contract, even if only on the bench and to be used on a strictly as needed basis. Sorry if I ha...

Are they refusing to play or just not being selected? Even if it’s the former, it’s not different to any other job. How much work do you get out of the employee who’s contract you aren’t renewing in their last week? What meaningful options do you have if they decide they can’t be arsed? I have no p...

Slightly off track but I was seven years old when the war finished. Remember going down to Burnley centre to see the illuminated signs on shops such as Burtons etc. Never seen anything like it before

I am probably three or four years behind Wik and can remember Tommy Gardner. He was a crowd favourite.
If my my memory serves me right he played outside right a similar position to Mathews and Finney.

Good summary of a remarkable man, player and manager. Brown was like an extension of Bob Lord on the pitch, nobody messed with him. Or they did at their peril. He was responsible for so many good things that happened at the Club just after the War including 'finding' Gawthorpe and converting it int...

Listened to the 1947 cup final on the radio. If I remember correctly Burnley had quite a few chances to win,commentators were Allan Clarke and Raymond Glendenning. Charlton had been beaten four or five one the year before by Derby County.

You could have named the team before it was announced, Changes are required but Mr Dyche seems afraid to make them, he is not ruthless enough. Which players would consider coming to Burnley when they are likely to spend their time on the bench or out of it altogether.

lancastrian

The problem with Burnley is that apart from McNeill the midfield players are not good enough. They are unable to create chances for the strikers whoever they maybe. Compare that with the chances the Chelsea striker had it must have been four or five. But my main worry is that many of the players are...
