Good lad Tommy, hopefully he can take the next step and win a major. Feel like he's definetely good enough. Tommy has the talent, just needed to get the bit between the ears figured out. Hopefully todays win will kick start more PGA tour wins and possibly a major or two. This was a VERY popular win...

Don’t talk about it - you will jinx him

I know, I was reluctant to past as well

Good day for Canadian golf as well. Corey Connors shot 62, currently tied for 3rd place and a mammoth paycheque. Brooke Henderson is currently tied for 1st after 13 at Women's Canadian Open

Love the guy, hoping he can keep his nerves together

For you golf fans out there. Can Tommy finally get the ‘no wins on PGA Tour’ monkey off his back today at Tour Championship and win $10 million, the largest paycheck in golf? Currently has a two stroke lead after 11. He’s had two or three big chances lately and gagged down the home stretch :roll: I’...

If it’s possible to be world class at a very specific part of the game, Scott Twine is a world class free kick taker.

He most certainly is, almost had another today.

Well doesn’t that look fancy, quite the proposed transformation

I spent a lot of time in the first floor bar back in my younger days, was the gangs meeting place before deciding where to spend the evening out

It’s never a good idea for the owner of a sports team to get involved in the day to day running of the club, no matter which sport it is. A good owner hires the right people to look after the sport end of things, keeps his nose out and pays the bills.

If that's the case, then he's an idiot.

I doubt he's an idiot, however there must be a reason he hasn't found a club yet

exilecanada

I can’t see Brownhill coming back to Burnley unless it’s for less than the club offered originally him. My guess is he’s misread his market value and struggling to find a club willing to pay him anywhere near what he’s looking for.

He’s the most entertaining goalie I’ve ever seen.

Yes Mick Halstead I remembered after my last post. He lives near a couple we are good friends with. Do you remember Paul Bostock who lived at Pike Hill post office.

Terrible behaviour by both sides, totally uncalled for. Btw, is it something new to play the National Anthem before games, I don’t remember it ? Possibly another American influence on our game?

I think Butch could have been Raymond Ashley, lived on Thirlmere. I knew Arthur (‘Ferg’, RIP) very well.

Are people rooting for Wrexham to do well? I’d like to see Wrexham do well although I doubt they’ll contend for playoffs this coming season.

Whichever way it’s spun though, a player of Josh Brownhill’s level; mediocre by Premier League standards (not intended to be a criticism) should never be able to command wages of £100k per week. The £85k per week that we reputedly offered was bonkers enough. Last season Brownhill scored 18 goals pl...

Both very exciting signings.

Worth noting that Brady only owns about 3% of BCFC.

Brady was chatting to his former team mate in the car, the team mate asked Brady if he owned the team, Brady replied ………“yes”

exilecanada

Arrogant yes but also a winner. He won't accept mediocrity so I expect they'll be a prem club quite soon I'm also quite sure Brum will be in the PL in the not too distant future but it won't be because of Brady, it'll be due to Tom Wagner's money. Plus that'll be another Yank owner to sway votes :r...

I've watched the first three episodes, will watch the rest tonight. So far Brady comes across as an arrogant jerk, not unusual for a Yank

The Wrexham series is head and shoulders over The Brum effort.

I'm assuming that the discussions we were having with Brownhill resulted in us offering him a deal, if not, I'd have expected us to say something. If we did offer that deal then unless we have withdrawn it there is nothing really to say. Surely Burnley’s contract offer has been taken off the table?...

My guess is Brownhill’s agent massively over estimated Josh’s market value, Burnley’s offer was probably taken off the table a few weeks back. From some posts on here West Ham and Everton were sniffing around Josh but he wanted too much, plus a reported ridiculous signing on fee. If he’d found a PL ...
