I remember watching games at The Cricketers on I-Drive but I think that’s long gone now

HB Claret

Whoever said that Foster is one of the worst they’ve ever seen play for us can’t have been watching us in the “dark” days of division 3 and 4 !

HB Claret

Haven’t Liverpool been singing songs about the Munich air disaster for years ? Seems to be that they want to be regarded as this all caring, passionate community when it suits them.

Don’t go on Costa or Carnival. Have a look on Cruise Critic.com We took our daughter and 4 granddaughters on 2 Med Cruises both on Carnival and they had a great time. Booked the 5 of them in a Sea Harbor family room which slept all 5 of them - they had an excellent time and spent a lot if time in t...

Remco van der Schaaf

HB Claret

Potentially a great signing and interesting to listen to his comments regarding helping the younger players. However his track record for behavioural misdemeanours is quite a big one - hopefully he has matured and can continue the development of our club.

HB Claret

I look forward to reading it. Does he mention Justin Langer's leaked dossier from the 2009 Ashes? I have long had a theory that it ultimately had a positive effect on Anderson. What Langer wrote was broadly true at the time, Jimmy took it to heart, fixed it, and never looked back. I’m reading his f...

They mentioned this on the Lancashire versus Kent cricket commentary !

My wife has a complicated medical history (including friending 6 months in hospital in Rio with multiple blood clots in her lungs, legs and groin) - she has always been overweight and has diabetes (diet controlled) yet the doctors don’t prescribe her Mounjaro as she doesn’t meet the criteria ! We li...

Just had a message from a German friend to say that we have agreed terms with Karlsruhe for Max Weiss, a 21 year old goalkeeper who has a medical booked for Monday. Fee thought to be €5 million and a contract that goes to 2029.

Bring your daughter to the slaughter !

I would start with any of the Reacher books written by Lee Child rather than the later ones co-written with his younger brother. The Harry Bosch and Lincoln Lawyer books are also good. Another of my favourite authors is Greg Isles - particularly his Penn Cage series dealing with racism in Natchez - ...

HB Claret

Another good watch - nothing particularly that we didn’t know but confirms what a genuinely nice and caring person he is. Hope the spirit and togetherness that he built is boosted with a few good signings as next season will be so much tougher.

Hamer did well for a little fat lad.

I said the same thing to my wife lol !!

HB Claret

Sunderland players falling over dramatically just like they did in the game against Coventry.

HB Claret

Definitely something toxic at the club - we are a laughing stock at the moment and there doesn’t seem to be any passion or intent with the team.

HB Claret

Sheffield United as that would almost certainly give us 6 points next season !

HB Claret

Another one to blow his own trumpet - I had a book published last year based on our work as student organisers for foreign kids on short stay holidays. Fairly easy reading with a few football references. Thank You For The Fahrt: The life and times of a foreign student local organiser https://amzn.eu...

Did you live in the Pigeon Lane area in Herne Bay HB Claret? if so ( and my memory is not so good these days) I may have popped into see you in the early 70's to talk about the London Clarets. I lived in Margate Road, Broomfield a couple of doors down from the Plough but moved to Downs Park in 2008.

HB Claret

Born in Burnley 63 years ago but family moved to Kent in 1968. Supporting Burnley is an investment in the town, the club, the county and is like being on the biggest rollercoaster in the world. Sean Dyche gave us all memories and hopes that I never believed were possible (as did Owen Coyle). Best te...

HB Claret

Thanks for posting - great watch - Parker is a very humble person and I hope he is with us for a good few years.

HB Claret

Woeful batting - a complete shambles - don’t know what Chilton does and Benkenstein has taken this team backwards. Thankfully we can’t actually be relegated.

HB Claret

Did they discuss Tarkowski’s “tackle” on McAllister ?

HB Claret

Very emotional - supporting Burnley is an emotional roller coaster - this has been a very special season and great memories have been made. I’ve been a supporter for over 60 years and that video brought tears to my eyes.

HB Claret

Off to Florida in November for a couple of weeks of golf. Pirates Cove, Pirates Island, Congo River, Hawaiian Rumble, Disney Fantasia to name just a few of the courses !

HB Claret

Remember when we played Man United shortly after they had paid over £50 million pounds for Di Maria and that was probably more than we had didn’t in our entire history !

HB Claret

Hope they do go up as they are the third best team in the league and it would be nice to know where 6 of our survival points target are coming from

HB Claret

Very fair comments from Wilder - unfortunately despite being the third best team in the league doesn’t guarantee promotion and I think he has a difficult couple of difficult weeks coming up.

HB Claret

Being an exiled Claret my closest ground for watching Burnley is Gillingham’s Priestfield Stadium - once voted the worst ground in the country due to the open end which is at the mercy of the bad weather coming from the River Medway. Can’t remember too many entertaining games and certainly not many ...

When I saw this thread I thought it was a re-write of “Don’t stop believing” by Journey

Was that Claret you were talking to called Russell?

No it was an older fella called Steven but I think I’ve spoken to Russell as well.

My dad worked at Melfar until 1968 - not sure if it closed down then but he was offered a job in Whitstable, Kent weaving products that were used in paper making. That’s why, at the age of 6 I became an exile ! Currently onboard Queen Victoria on a grand South American voyage and was chatting to ano...

HB Claret

Born in Burnley 1962, lived in Colne until 1968 when my dad lost his job (weaver). He was offered a weaving job in Kent so we moved to Whitstable but I still consider myself a proud Lancastrian and a Claret.

HB Claret

Thought they did handicap it already as the big teams get all the decisions in their favour

HB Claret

Currently on a cruise around South America. Today we arrived in Buenos Aires and we have taken an excursion to Igauzau Falls which lay between Brazil and Argentina. Hell of a long day with return flights and walking in temperatures of around 42 degrees (with humidity it was more like 48) and I saw a...

HB Claret

Good afternoon from the good ship Queen Victoria en route to Grabd Turk, Barbados and then around South America ! Just about to do a music trivia before hopefully watching the game on the phone !! Up the Clarets !!

HB Claret

I think our game is on Sky + so nearer the time you will have to select our game using the red button.

HB Claret

Think it all stemmed from the incident near the end when we had the ball near their corner flag. Hannibal was clearly fouled but the referee chose to ignore it and give them a throw (which was taken nowhere near the incident). The 21 leant over and either spat (as mentioned by someone on here) or wa...

HB Claret

Great result built out of sheer effort in the second half. Trafford kept us in it with the triple save moment, Hannibal gets dogs abuse and is kicked all over the park, Brownhill almost a second forward second half. Referee was crap - I don’t think Norwich took a throw or free kick from the right pl...

HB Claret

Very excited but sadly the wife booked tickets for a Simon & Garfunkel tribute act so I will be recording it and also switching the phone off ! Middlesbrough supporters don’t really care for us so I’m hoping that our current run of form continues - nothing better than sending “entitled” fans home wi...

At the ripe old age of 45 back in 2007 I gave up my accountancy job which I’d been in since leaving school to become a self employed foreign student organiser. Best move I ever made as it was a totally different life style - full on 24/7 for maybe 8 months of the year and then 4 months of free time....

Cooper gone at Leicester !

There is also a central low emissions zone to look out for. If your car is diesel it needs to be Euro 6 and petrol Euro 4 or you'll be paying charges or a fine. I live in Bristol and it is a PITA. The stadium is right on the edge and so easy to inadvertently drive into it. I found this out the hard...

HB Claret

Just bought A Calamity of Souls by David Baldacci - set in 1968 Virginia - legal thriller centred on a Black man charged with killing a wealthy White couple. Sounds a bit similar to Grisham’s A Time To Kill which was excellent.

Mike Conroy ?

HB Claret

Been away on a cruise for last 5 weeks and followed events on here - couldn’t believe that we have been playing as badly as some on here have been saying ….. but after watching today on TV I’ve smelt the coffee ! Trafford - 6 - one outstanding save but still looks weak at corners and crosses Roberts...

HB Claret

Got what we deserved today - no creativity, no passion and no end product. Sadly I think it’s gave over for Jay Rod, Esteve and Humphrey looked like rabbits in headlights when trying to control the ball, Kolesho and Anthony don’t know how to tackle without fouling, Roberts has a dark side which will...

When my dad’s job took us from Colne to Kent we started going to speedway at Canterbury (nearest league football was Gillingham) and I travelled the country supporting the Crusaders. Remember Anders Michanek and once we travelled to see Ivan Mauger ride at Ipswich - sadly we were delayed in traffic ...

HB Claret

Going really well until the last line as sadly we didn’t beat them

HB Claret

Think in recent times we have been on the wrong end of some horrendous decisions at Elland Road ( and I agree that it would probably have been given by VAR) so if we got away with one who cares ?
