Lot of harrumphing on this thread. The club getting much more media exposure can only be a good thing.

Ric_C

It’s problematic, but all the main football news and content remains on X. If that’s where most fans are still going to engage with football, it’s not hard to understand why the club have chosen to partner with them to increase exposure. There’s no bigger demonstration of the quandary than The Athl...

What a player he was for us.

It always irked me a bit that he got a bit of stick near the end of is time with us, for playing the long channel ball way too often. The fact he was clearly under instructions to do this seemed to pass the critics by.

Ric_C

So many posts in here whining about quality, being "gaslit", comparisons to mens game, female commentators etc. Seriously, if you can't enjoy being 2 goals down, levelling it up with 2 quickfire goals, players getting injured, bloodied noses, strapping up their own legs and then winning it on penal...

Ridiculous stuff

Ric_C

Too easy this. We need to pitch it up a tad

I think Sargent would be a superb signing. And another Josh into the mix

Ric_C

I don’t like the ‘quintessential British-ness’ of Wimbledon. The competitors are phenomenal but the ‘celebrities’ turning up for a photo opportunity as if they actually give a **** about the tennis is vomit inducing. With everything wrong with this country at the moment, a bit of quintessential Bri...

We've been hearing that there is a good player in Foster for three years now. If we start the premier league campaign with him up top, then we are in big trouble.

Ric_C

Has Atkinson been injured?

Ric_C

The pundits keep saying that the players heads were mentally frazzled after being out in the field for so long. Bizarre decision to bowl first. In both tests I might add

Ric_C

Mattster, this is going to be a long season if you are griping now before a ball being kicked. We get it, you a bit sore because your "patterns of play" theory didn't pan out as you thought last season. We are going to get our noses bloodied a few times this season and we don't really need you chirp...

More brain-dead batting from Tongue. Just defend your end and let the guy at the other end on 184 not out swing away

Ric_C

Always think it's unfair to give lbw when the bat is so close to the pad. If it doesn't hit the pad it would hit the bat and never go on to hit the wickets anyway. I know it's the rules but that dismissal never sits right with me

Ric_C

I thought after the first test, they'd learnt to play the situation a bit more, but clearly not.

Ric_C

Yeah well done Pope, play across the line to a swinging new ball first up.

Take the shine off this ball and there are runs a plenty.

Reminds me a little bit of the 2015-16 Oak furnitureland shirt

And the 2007-08 Hollands Pie's one

As for the kit, it looks ok, bit bland, but glad the sponsor isn't gold anymore

Ric_C

Maybe Nick Pope is coming to Burnley to join Trafford?

Ric_C

Probably not considering Edwards used the same emoji on his own Instagram post. More than likely just means they’re writing their own story or something. Thinking about it, there were plenty of signing emojis and signing celebrations from the players last season. At the time we were thinking it mea...

Thought it was a joke when my mate sent me this today. Fair play for it being a local sponsor, but it's one of the worst kits I've ever seen.

It's quite hard to get an all white kit wrong, but it looks like zero effort has gone into it.

15 years ago I rushed my Wife to hospital where she was diagnosed with acute appendicitis but before she went into theatre it had burst. Because of the type of operation required it took about 8 months just for the wound to fully close and involved the use on Manuka Honey to help it heal. The whole...

As far as the timeline goes, this is what I remember 1. Ajax try and sign Tresor, but pull out because of loan fee 2. Tresor posts on instagram on his private jet with a miffed face 3. Not involved at all in pre-season, so fans quite rightly at the time were probably thinking he was one of the many ...

Ben Mee is up there. 200k wasn't it?

Ric_C

I've often thought about this since Alexander started taking them for us. And I will stand by this until someone says otherwise (as it is just a hunch). But I'd say our penalty record is up there with the very best over the last 16 years In the championship we have missed 8 out of 65 pens (87.7% con...

Thought it was pretty funny when Lee Mack asked Peter Reid if he'd thrown up

Ric_C

I'd have wanted to leave too after the way fans treated him. Was disgusting Revisionism at its finest. Think 95% of the fans who wanted him dropped, could plainly see that the lads confidence had been shot, and it was potentially damaging to his career to be in the firing line with our crazy way of...

Looks like we are still owed money off Botafogo for him

Three relegations on the trot when playing in the Prem now, for Mr "I'm too good for the championship" O'Shea

I've always cut in halves from the left to the right, as I quite like eating a top half and a bottom half

Looks like Assignon is going to Stuttgart for 15 million. Not sure I'd pay that for him

All three are absolute legends in my book, how anyone can find any negatives from this is a bit baffling.

I hope we dont spend the season playing 5-4-1 with us having 11 men defending our box for 80 minutes looking for a quick counter.

It's the only way we have any chance of staying up next season. The first season has to be an ugly war in every game. Stay up and we can start to build on that.

Love Dyche to bits, but he always seems to come across as though he's auditioning for his next role whenever he's in these situations.

This thread is a microcosm of modern society. Some people naturally applauding a feel good story, in a world full of bad news. Others locked in with cynicism and resentment.

My gut instinct is that because Villa and West Ham have similar colours to us, the powers that be are moving away from those traditional claret colours to try and make our branding more unique.

Ric_C

It depends on what our plan for staying in this league is tactically. I read somewhere recently that playing 3 at the back in the Prem especially for promoted teams will give you the best chance of grinding out points. This allows the two fullbacks to be less reliant on defence, but also allows to s...

You are Mr Contrary all the time and it makes me think you don't actually have a valid opinion as it is hard to establish when (if ever) you are being serious or just in wind up mode. It's tiring and you clog the board up with shite on the daily. Trying to justify your inane drivel as some kind of i...

Was he off though or was he level?

No one is castigating Barnes, let alone obsessed with it. It's merely a difference of opinion on an incident with objectivity. If it's your opinion that there's nothing wrong with it, fine. I can think there's a chance it gets overturned in the prem, and still praise Barnes for his tenacity. The la...

Ric_C

This is an even better angle of Barnes' challenge. Absolutely nothing wrong with it, and is basically just blocking the resulting clearance. Quite why some clarets are seemingly obsessed with castigating him for just doing his job is a bit baffling tbh. https://x.com/BurnleyOfficial/status/191945957...

This is part of the wheeling and dealing nature of where we are as a club. Trafford - circa 40-50 million makes sense as we could in theory get a more experienced stopper. Also his stock is very high at the moment. Remember in the summer when everyone was apoplectic about selling Koleosho at £40 mil...

I was pretty crushed yesterday, not going to lie. I've never seen us win a title at Turf Moor, all the ones in my lifetime have been at away grounds. I feel like if Leeds had ended 1-1 and then Brownhill had scored that goal in injury time, it would have been the perfect ending. However it felt like...

Next season the Boss has the perfect song for you: I’m going down - Bruce Springsteen Not being funny, but has someone activated some kind of "Leeds nerd bot alert system" since yesterday? Because every (and I mean every) post from Burnley and or about Burnley on Twitter in the past day has had the...

Ric_C

Bit annoying when we were in the throws of trying to win a title. Also the "No injury time" board was a bit of a strange decision. Not sure if that is allowed by the powers that be? Pitch invasions are usually organic more than anything, and I didn't really get the vibes that the fans were going to ...

Mate is there any chance you could just give this nonsense a rest for a few days? I know this “your thing” but it’s boring at the best of times - I’m sure people would think more of you if you just had a little break for a while.

I agree, it's beyond tedious
