Blue Skies

Easy for me. 2 0 at Man U. My first vist we were 2 0 with Lochead brace only for ref to add time on to allow two late Francis Burns goals. We have also been 2 0 on other occasions to draw 2 2, and the 3 3 the Wednesday after Hillsborough semi final defeat in their relegation season. We even lost in ...

Blue Skies

Leisure as a lot of people suggest the mirroring of seats gives a different view for a start, changes routine and I have been in that seat for years. I can berate the lino from mine for example, pop in the CC afterwards. It's easy for people in three parts of the ground to shrug their shoulders and ...

Blue Skies

100% happening, I would think unlikely as there are too many logistical issues not too mention the fans. I am in the "Life on Mars" stand and love where I am. If they moved me on a mirror basis I would be near the BL. Currently I am on the touchline where the lino operates and next to the tunnel. To...

Blue Skies

Mo and Vintage, you obviously left Moneysave because Duncan thought you were poor. Sammy had the ultimate say and you were replaced by more quality like JG, Big Redrose, Shakey etc. You sound like Tresor following the cash!!!

Blue Skies

Spike his dad Tim was great drinker with us, was he not?

Blue Skies

Yes Pete but they still can't cross the £30 threshold. Villa was the biggest **** take with £29.50 for concessions, obviously showing that they don't agree with the cap!

Blue Skies

Osh there is no streak to keep alive for DB as he didn't do Kiddy (Eustace was their manager that day) when we also played at Alfreton. I am sure he would welcome a contribution to a copter however so feel free.

Blue Skies

You are right Silky it was trundle medium pace with a short run up. Dibbly Dobblies as his namesake David used to call them.

Blue Skies

Went to CH Lloyd's last final when he was out for a low score and we lost. People always mentioned his batting but his fielding was also a joy to watch. Swooping in from cover - no quick singles there. Didn't he also bowl a bit of spin?

Blue Skies

There are many mentions of ME changing our momentum which is correct. The goals scored and chances changed dramatically once he arrived. Another part of that was how many goals and chances were made/scored from less than ten yards? We began to open teams up. Imagine that in the stale home games befo...

Blue Skies

As DSR states VAR could have intervened in that Sheffield United game tht stopped them being relegated but the were asleep at VAR Park and thought because the ref's watch didn't say it was over the line then it couldn't have been. To complain to the PL is farcical because as Mattster says "What goes...

Blue Skies

Sam's dad Tim wasn't a bad signing either amongst the Clarets fans.

Blue Skies

Whilst appalling maybe too strong, Ian is obviously alluding to your statement there is nothing else in DB'S world other than lie on the sofa and watching Burnley. That is nowhere near the truth as the rest of this thread and fellow Clarets have pointed out.

Blue Skies

Rowls for once I disagree. Dave is obsessed but aren't we all. He chose his path and has great stories and experiences to share. Leisure who is a good friend has a similar obsession of attending every game and helps fellow Clarets on his way. CT also, it's all relative. The guy is a nice bloke but h...

Blue Skies

A tad harsh equinox, I have travelled with DB and have the odd tot with him. He can be deeper than BFC at times and can recall some super experiences other than football! As for a third book, maybe?

Blue Skies

From my view in the CF I cringed at the time. Looking at replays it could have gone either way .and it was a challenge where both players gave their all and Bash came out on top. The beauty of the Championship v the Premier League. Have to say CT having played in a front two with you at Holt House, ...

Blue Skies

Remember it well. In main stand with some good mates and four of Accrington's finest ladies. All was well 2 0 down and one of the ladies screamed "Come on Tony (Morley) sort this lot out!". All eyes upon us. Luckily the end came quite quickly and they all piled on the pitch, while we went down the s...

The last 5 to the Premier Zone were all on a Bank Holiday, four Mondays and Good Friday, I think!

Blue Skies

No luck NW Claret? There was a guy from St Asaph posted under "iw 1961"who offered a lift for me once. Impossible to do on public transport without a stopover with the 5.30 k.o. There is also Wrexham Claret on Twitter but I don't use that forum. Good Luck.

Blue Skies

Absolutely agree about the stewarding. My seat was on the end of a row and my foot was on the gangway as somebody was on the row that shouldn't have been. The head steward threatened me with arrest, I joked and said it they needed to sort the overcrowding of the row. Response was that wasn't their p...

Blue Skies

The debate should be over, as the Cov player shot before it hit Roberts, the goalscorer is beyond every Claret interfering with play as he so close to Trafford. Offside. His look across to the lino said it all as he couldn't believe his luck. It matters not as the Sunday papers and Sky Sports showed...

Blue Skies

Rileybobs is spot on. The ref wasn't good and his needless pulling the game back to talk to the captains. The missing of the offside for the goal was inexcusable but that was the lino. Overall we won the game because we were the better side, soaked up poor pressure, lumping the ball forward. Game Ma...

Blue Skies

Dave Burnley made his one and only appearance as a substitute in Spain and scored twice, no other player has done that

Blue Skies

It can be hit and miss on the Cask Ale front. After the Luton game it had run out and they didn't change it. So I had a Guinness. Abetter option would be the Miners - meet him or her at the Welly traffic lights.

Blue Skies

Fair enough just read the head not the report

Blue Skies

How can it be 50? It was 1974

Blue Skies

Casper2 don't forget in 1974 the Texaco Cup fiasco that reverted to one leg because of their Cup Final appearance and the draw at the Turf last game of the season depriving us of a European slot at the minutest of goal average fraction.

Blue Skies

There is nothing new in all of this and it will continue. James had two goalkicks within the added time and took a minute for each. Game management or cheating. Foster went through and give them the ball back. Shoot hard or high and wide (or score) for me more seconds gone. The powers that be will n...

Blue Skies

There is a first DC ane I on the same page. As quoted further up the thread it was a reckless challenge and he made sure the player couldn't go past him. Penalty all day long. Mine is a Pendleside next time in the Miners mate!

Blue Skies

I watched it on a Nobbers stream, two commentators, one an ex player were certain it was a pen even though he touched the ball. I think it was Surry Claret as he virtual made all the same salient points. Reckless, not in control and that's why it should have been given. Anywhere else on the pitch it...

Back to Lancaster University, The Juke Box Manager (yes there was such a post) of Cartmel College put it on the jukebox and it became a hit and College anthem in the early 80s. All the discos ended with the song as well. Burnley had a big presence on the campus around that time and there were conver...

Blue Skies

It would be interesting to hear three verses of Blackburn's version of No Nay Never. I haven't heard them singing Frank Teesdale sweeps Ewood's Riverside or seeing Brian Miller with all his money spent. It just isn't their song full stop. Neither is "Wings of an Angel", "Come to Ewood".

Blue Skies

The No Nay Never came from the Longside in the early/mid 70s as Rovers slid to the old Division 3. Boxcar and his gang came up with the words with songsheets. Ken Furphy in the pub and Billy Bancroft sweeping Burnley's Longside. The irony now is Rovers have it has their entrance music played on thei...

Blacklaw is better than Yashin

Blue Skies

Harris is better than Eusebio

Blue Skies

I understand refs not giving the pen there but at the same time a foul the other way is not good. No Burnley player committed a foul so not good. The non bookings were understandable but he left it too long, he will learn but VAR would have helped him. Hey ho I am not that bothered as I an just havi...

Blue Skies

DG I was on the edge of the discussion but there are other candidates, I travelled yesterday with Dave Beaston and he lays claim to the Last Man. Also, Joe Wells was found asleep a day later in the urinals so he could be the last man. It's a tricky one, Gordy, retired teacher, DB even Dark Cloud was...

The changes in local public transport has finally turned my home trips into a three day trek. There was St Asaph Claret who said he could help. Are you still out there for the Watford game per chance?

Blue Skies

Phil Bird got excited about our Ladies performance and you could hear him slurping his tea from his bedroom. Superb

Blue Skies

As IanMcL says it would be mean not to allow access especially if you have a ticket. I haven't checked the T and Cs but I would be surprised if there was a cut off time for entry. In the bad (or good) old days of Div 4, half time was always the target for some.

Blue Skies

My first memory of the fencing was Everton at home in 1974, there were gaps but there was no "no man's land" so the police had a hard job! This continued for a while and eventually a gap appeared 'no man's land". There was always a fence after that between Longside and Beehole but the was no gates a...

Blue Skies

I first checked the car involved, which I haven't had since June and then typed random reg numbers in, it asked me to continue every time. Total scam

Blue Skies

Wasn't it Ackag and Jonny Oneare who attacked the Police Box at Ewood with part of the asbestos roofing and it kept breaking until they both shrug their shoulders and moved on to better things in the disturbance? Which nicely links to Billy Bungalow who started the whole riot at Ewood with his welly...

Blue Skies

This thread caused some discussions on Saturday.

Nigel Blackburn aka Dover Claret never missed for years rarely seen now but some trips for all the games.
Also, some of the Morecambe Clarets were characters led by another Rocky, must be the sea air!!!!

Blue Skies

123 has it right. The lack of drive from either centre half is missing and even under VK this took time until the team worked how to cover it. Esteve may be good enough In time and Roberts may help with that given he has seen it all before. Work in progress

Blue Skies

I posted further up that our defence saw the flag go up and they relaxed. Jury is out whether Trafford was as equally relaxed but it was a half hearted attempt to save it. If any of our defenders move towards the striker he may not have had the clean shot at goal anyway. We didn't get the pen so pos...

Blue Skies

Not buying their disallowed goal argument. Flag was up straight away whether right or wrong, our defence spotted it as did everyone around me. Yes he put it in but Trafford was diving for the cameras. As for the second half pen you will not see a more blatant one although lino missed it. VAR would h...

Blue Skies

Not so sure he is worth rating, but I believe there is a bigger issue at play here. There would have been an assessor there today who would have closed ranks and said "well done mate both teams were childish blah blah" and from there awards him 8s etc.For some reason the powers that be will not put ...
