Already 0.5 points today for Europe courtesy of Hovland getting it in the neck, so to speak.

Improves the advantage, but I’d still rather see it played. Can’t be helped though.

hoskinsgoalatswansea

Looking forward to this. Been a great watch so far.

hoskinsgoalatswansea

Good job we sacrificed the cup to rest players. We might not have scored without all that extra energy, and had to suffer another 5-0.

Glad VAR saw sense. Seen them given.

It’s a penalty for me. If he’d gone down instead of getting his shot away it would’ve been given. It’s still a foul and should’ve been given. These decisions don’t help in encouraging players to stay on their feet.

hoskinsgoalatswansea

Might have been better playing our first team in the cup and making 11 changes for City. I think you’re maybe saying it half in jest, but it’s exactly what I’d do. We’ll get nothing on Saturday, rested players or not, but we could’ve been looking at beating Wrexham for a place in the last 8. Gettin...

Was looking forward tonight to seeing some quality fringe players busting a gut to prove they’re good enough for the first eleven. Don’t know what tonight was, but it definitely wasn’t that. Are they sulking? Don’t care? Or just not good enough?

hoskinsgoalatswansea

All 4’s except for Hannibal 6 and Broja 3.

hoskinsgoalatswansea

Thought some of his passing was sloppy today. A couple of times we were close to being punished by them. But overall he’s been an excellent signing.

hoskinsgoalatswansea

I certainly don't enjoy football like I used to, I only watch Burnley, I don't even bother with England games or any televised games. Usually hate the premier league but ive enjoyed it enough so far this season, I think because my expectations are so low these days. I don't get as emotional as I us...

Definitely a pen but sending off was very harsh.
Parker should have left Cullen on and taken Lesley off

Agree

hoskinsgoalatswansea

One against Utd possibly wasn’t a pen, but why give them a chance? You know they’ll give it for these clubs. Today’s definitely a penalty.

Both times just idiotic defending.

hoskinsgoalatswansea

Shilton was class at his best but outstayed his welcome by at least 25 caps I thought he was past it at Mexico 86, so it seems ridiculous that he still kept the shirt at Italia 90 at the age of 40. Although, to be fair to Bobby Robson there wasn’t many good alternatives. Chris Woods was the only on...

Not enough in my opinion

Agree. 2 oil rich clubs in a bidding war for a keeper that doesn’t seem to have too many rivals to be England’s number 1 for the next 10+ years.

I think we’ve caved early. We could’ve got the full 40 million.

hoskinsgoalatswansea

There’s a few thing misremembered (we didn’t finish 7th the season after we won 4th Division for example) but you’d expect that when it’s over 30 years ago. Also said Conroy played in Francis for his goal at Plymouth. Conroy had left at the start of that season. Nit-picking though. His recollection...

hoskinsgoalatswansea

Retired end of 91/92 season, so I wonder if his last professional game was at Burnley.

hoskinsgoalatswansea

Some great memories looking at that list. Really brings home how good the Dyche era was.
The exception being the 1-0 at Bournemouth. Absolutely awful game. I barely celebrated the late winner, as the match had practically sucked the life out of me.

If it’s going to happen we need to just get it done asap so we have an established number one in, on good time.

It should only be done if our valuation is met, and within a timeframe also dictated by us. And, no matter who, or how many, they send shouldn’t alter this.

It’s claret, it’s the same colour we’ve used for 20+ years on all printed materials

hoskinsgoalatswansea

Purple. Won’t be buying another shirt again until it’s claret.
Are the club trying to push this colour until it becomes the accepted norm?

hoskinsgoalatswansea

So cool that you were there CT. It was something special that I’m sure most of the country would’ve wanted to be at.
I was 12 at the time, and was in a battle with my 15 year old sister, armed with our vhs180 tapes, over which bands to tape.

89-03 when I turned 17 I started playing on Saturdays in the Lancs amateur league. Not a total separation though, as I still managed to get to about 10 games a season.

The other way round with UTC, for no reason they closed down the account, citing that I was underage. Set up a new one @utccom with one the same on Blue Sky. Twitter nowhere near as popular as it was and growing with the new account has been very slow. I follow UTC on bluesky, but there’s no accoun...

hoskinsgoalatswansea

Closed my account on X when Musk got involved with Trump. I use Bluesky now, which is like twitter used to be. I’ve no intention of returning to X, regardless of any Burnley involvement.

Not sure just what more evidence can be out there that they haven't been able to find in the past 3 months or so?

Couldn’t agree more. It’s not like some forensic clues are gonna turn up.

Look at the reports, speak to everyone in earshot, interview the 2 players involved, and make a decision.

Thought Flemming’s goal at Ewood might be on there. Not just for the obvious reason, but because it was also a decent goal. Good cross and header coming in on the defender’s blind side.

hoskinsgoalatswansea

Depends who they are though. If we had McNeil, Wood, Tarkowski and Pope playing for us next season we'd have a far better chance of surviving than with the current squad and whoever we are likely to sign in addition. For me, if we could bring back one player, it would be Sander Berge. Not that I th...

They have had some big names linked with them over the years. Going back to Stapleton, Ardiles, Lineker, Hughes, Zidane, Dugarry, Salgado and more recently Lewandowski, Maradona, Ronaldinho, Beckham and Jon Dahl Tomasson. With that in mind, Rooney to Blackburn makes sense on paper. The shame for th...

The second goal was given to Anthony, that was an obvious own goal! I've seen quite a few blatant own goals given to the attacking player lately, have they changed to rules?

I think as long as the initial shot is on target, then they get credited with the goal.

QPR was just so we could win the League at Ewood

We could’ve drawn that game, stayed undefeated at home, and still won the league at Ewood.

Could be wrong but wasn't that Michael Keane the year we finished 2nd to Leicester?

Right player, but 15/16 champions season

hoskinsgoalatswansea

Does anyone know if there’ll be a kindle option?

hoskinsgoalatswansea

Probably score 1 to 3, and concede 2 to 4 in total. So maybe about 6-8 points, coupled with being absolutely bored to tears.

hoskinsgoalatswansea

Enjoyed that. No diving, with play stopping for free kicks every 5 seconds (ref even allowed play to go on for our goal with one of theirs half dead in the area). Players always looking to get the ball forward and attack. Risk of losing possession fully accepted as part of having a go at trying to s...

Footballers are such fannies these days. The ball is barely in play with the amount of free kicks, and time players spend on the floor. It’s so stop start, it might as well be American football.
