Was reported that he’d suffered another long term injury

He really doesn’t have much luck does he. Such a shame for the lad if he’s picked up another long term injury.

On his head, he told us his mate was having a new house built and he was round there helping him and ended up falling over.

Did say his mate has been calling him Gorbachev!

Ightenhill_Claret

That’s how I understood it when we were chatting to him Winstonswhite. It was the board that questioned him, not the fans.

Just a bit of a shameless plug for a special episode of From The Bee Hole End podcast out tomorrow. We sat down with Sean Dyche tonight to chat all things Burnley (and a little bit about Oasis!). Obviously biased but I think it's a cracking chat with subjects such as the European season, transfer bu...

No it’s not chilli sauce, I think they use chilli oil in the pork mix. Absolutely delicious!

Ightenhill_Claret

As people have said, best pies in the land.

And - shameless plug - pork and pork and chilli are available at The Beer Necessities in Todmorden Friday to Sunday!

Looks fresh. As mentioned above, no idea why the shirt isn’t modelled with the rest of the kit. Again, I must be missing something with criticism of the marketing blurb - the shirt literally has a contour map of the local countryside printed on it, should they not pass comment on the inspiration be...

Good morning troll - had you bothered to carry out your trolling to the letter you would have seen that I'd said that Preston's had gone from £60 to £70 and they are also Castore. So sorry troll, not a moan. I did think you were referring to the fact that the PNE kit had gone up by a tenner so thou...

Ightenhill_Claret

I have to say I quite like the kit. There's the usual bullshit waffle backstory but the shirt itself is pretty clean and tidy.

Hating the sponsor logo is given (especially in blue/white halves) but think the kit will look smart in the PL.

Ightenhill_Claret

Superb Pulp set!

Ightenhill_Claret

Amyl And The Sniffers are fantastic imo, I've seen them a number of times over the years and it's fab to see them have the platform of the other stage However it's also on a knife edge as to whether Amy's costume is going to fail completely, she's already used gaffer tape once to hold her bra in pl...

Thanks Yorkshire - I’ve seen the Craven stuff around and just not got around to reaching out.

Always looking to add new names to our list so I’ll reach out to them this morning - do you have a best contact name?

Ightenhill_Claret

Love this, and massive props for the gluten-free beer too. My wife is coeliac and if we find a bar where we can have a beer together, we'll usually end up in there. See if we can pop in when we're next up that way. It's been a big thing for us since the second week we opened. On opening night we ha...

A few months ago I posted that me and a business partner had opened a bar in Todmorden (The Beer Necessities) and on that thread Ian (aka PenfoldClaret) reached out to introduce himself as the owner of Roosters brewery in Harrogate. Over the last few months, thanks in a large part to Ian's approach ...

Ightenhill_Claret

Perfect mate!

Ightenhill_Claret

Must be due another Todmorden visit soon…

Ightenhill_Claret

Brilliant to see this launched. Fiver sent and joined! UTC!

Ightenhill_Claret

All the years I looked at the PL and never thought for one minute we'd ever get into it. Thanks to Owen Coyle we did and the appointment of Sean Dyche was one of the best things this club have ever done. It now seems we have to be in it to survive a financial meltdown. Absolutely this. Growing up w...

Matt is quite well placed to comment - based out in Germany and has written a lot about fan culture both there and beyond.

(And I was his journalism tutor many moons ago!)

Ightenhill_Claret

Got to say I bloody loved the fact that the club organised for Natasha Bedingfield to play. Great reward for the lads and a nice little bit of PR. Think by the time she came out, most of the fun had been squeezed out of the atmosphere due to the wait. But credit where it’s due - it was brilliant fun!

Ightenhill_Claret

Hi Ightenhill Claret Hope you don’t mind me being cheeky but would you be interested in stocking any of our beers from Rooster’s Brewery in Harrogate? We’re over your way every week. UTC Pleased to say that after stocking various Rooster beers for the last few months, I finally got to meet PenfoldC...

Ightenhill_Claret

What a lovely bit of nostalgia!

Ightenhill_Claret

Agree on Bread and Butter - it’s a cracking drop. Joe and Sarah at Hatters Bar in Burnley centre (a cracking little place for a pre-match pint) have it on permanently now for £3.50 a pint which I’m pretty sure is cheaper than Vocation do it at their own bars. Not tried the Tiller Pin nonayclarets bu...

xG absolutely winds me the hell up. Championships and promotions aren’t won on xG in just the same way as relegations aren’t suffered due to xG.

The only G that counts is aG - actual goals.

Ightenhill_Claret

Some cracking beers on this thread. On Madri, I’m sure I read somewhere that it was just Coors Light with extra hop extract added. We’ve got a couple of interesting casks on at The Beer Necessities in Todmorden (apologies for the plug) - Pomona Island’s Mild Peril at 6% (anything but mild!) and Arbo...

Ightenhill_Claret

Dreadful.

Ightenhill_Claret

Thought that was a very enjoyable watch. Some really good performances, great to see players getting minutes. A couple of the lads - Benson, Edwards - probably still a good couple of weeks away from being at their best but each showed enough to be excited about the run-in and the possibility of them...

It’s in Optus Sport 4 according to the stream I’m watching on the firestick.

The second edition of the newsletter should have landed in your inbox this morning if you subscribe. If you don't currently and fancy a peek then there it is - https://fromthebeeholeend.substack.com/p/is-spending-in-january-a-waste-of We've got a few things planned over the coming weeks and we've al...

Ightenhill_Claret

First edition landed in inboxes this morning. Was hoping for a more exciting game to launch it but hey ho!

Next edition out Friday - sign up here: https://fromthebeeholeend.substack.com/

Ightenhill_Claret

A very good trio of presenters. Probably the right time for Lineker to go.

Ightenhill_Claret

Yeah agree re Pace’s comments being unhelpful. Parker has said a couple of times that he had a ‘real’ illness which I take to mean serious as opposed to he was ill and not faking it. And on the moves to Ajax/Nice I do wonder whether he and others - because of the way things played out last season/in...

Ightenhill_Claret

Mentioned this on today's episode of From The Bee Hole End podcast but my working theory is prossibky that the physical obstacle may have become a mental obstacle for Tresor over the last few weeks. We believe that we was incredibly poorly during the summer and that has taken a while to recover from...

Ightenhill_Claret

Agreed Tony. Would love to see more coming through. Both lads today handled themselves superbly. Hopefully with Chris Casper at the helm of the academy we’ll start to see some improvement in terms of progression to first team. (Would save us a ton on transfer fees!)

Ightenhill_Claret

Agreed. It wasn’t about him playing 38 PL games it was about having characters in the changing room and someone to lead by example. Barnes would have provided that.

Ightenhill_Claret

Sure that was Jelle ten Rouwelaar that was just on screen talking to RVN.

Third club since the summer for the former Burnley GK coach?

Ightenhill_Claret

Cullen 6? Wow. Best footballer on the park today. Now we’ve got Josh clicking I think this is when we REALLY start making it count.

Thought he did well, albeit in a relatively easy game to referee. Neither side really caused him any issues with time-wasting, rolling around etc.
Two decent referees in two games... what a time to be alive!

Watched on TV but would probably agree with Tony's marks. Definitely one of the better refs and does - at least - seem pretty consistent with game by game performances.

Ightenhill_Claret

That really is upsetting news. Dave was a class act and I always enjoyed chatting to him (and his humour) when he was chair of the Burnley fans team and then in later years when I saw him out and about at St Peter’s. Not seen him for a while but used to enjoy his daily Facebook updates (and his gent...

Ightenhill_Claret

Whoops. Hadn’t realised there was a load of dead air - did wonder why it took a while to process. Apologies for those hoping for an extended sweary Woody remix!

Ightenhill_Claret

Had a few beers around Todmorden yesterday because of our free Saturday, some very good pubs I was quite surprised I've never been before, we popped into The Beer Necessities twice and it's a very nice bar, good luck with it and we'll be back again. Thanks Agent, glad you enjoyed the visit. Todmord...

Vote cast. Absolute no-brainer to vote for a Claret when nominated.

Ightenhill_Claret

Is this the fast bus? I’ve caught this from the stop near Shudehill and it’s usually pretty busy but has never sailed past full.
Always better to get it from Chorlton Street if poss.

Ightenhill_Claret

Sorry guys, we were having some tech issues last night. I believe that we’re recording an episode tonight which I’ll edit and have out for tomorrow morning (currently in Belgium trying to dry out after an 82km bike ride in the wind and rain!). Normal service - I promise! - will be resumed next week....

Ightenhill_Claret

They were definitely more prominent during Covid but I do still see a few people wearing them. I think they’re a really cracking idea - shouldn’t be needed as others have pointed out but a good idea nonetheless.

Ightenhill_Claret

Aggie’s selection is top tier. There’s a nice restaurant to the right of the Delirium Village that we usually visit. Can def recommend the moules frites from there. Depending on how long you’re going for, a day trip to Bruges is well worth it. Just over an hour on the train and another amazing selec...

Ightenhill_Claret

Absolute pleasure mate. Looking forward to seeing you all.

We’ll get some cards printed up so that we can extend the cask 10% off offer to other times as well.

Ightenhill_Claret

Should just add to John’s post that there’ll be 10% off all cask for WYC members at the meeting on the night. And we’ll be providing some grub as well.

Hope to see as many WYCs as possible on the 26th!

Hi mate,

Yeah if you drop me an email andrewg (at) tbn-todmorden.co.uk then I'm sure we will.
