We are still getting used to playing together as a team and taking Manure right down to the wire like we did augers well for the rest of the season.

My political points are always deleted, unlike those of others, so I'd just advise you to look at our foreign policy and decide if you believe them to be left leaning. There's no point in me saying anything else. Like I already said, no idea why anyone would want to politicise a subject like this. ...

Thanks for the report CT. It must have been incredibly difficult to witness that ending. I was so p1ssed off watching Merson on Sky. Must have been so much worse watching it in the flesh so to speak.

. She wanted to adopt the American right wing values… and we’ve followed them pretty much ever since. No idea why people want to politicise a topic like this instead of just straightforwardly condemning racism but couldn’t let this claim stand. How is our country following American right wing value...

He was only 19 at the time of the miners strike, and to me if you had to go back and pin ponit a moment in time, when society started to breakdown, that would be it. Thatchers divide and conquer policies had so many knock on effects, other than breaking the unions. How on earth you can blame Thatch...

Just watched the interview and he comes across as a top bloke. I’m even happier with this signing now.

Hoping to be wrong but I’m not convinced so far and fear he could be a weak link for us this season Sorry fellow Penworthamer but logged on to disagree with you about this. Soon after Dúbravka signed for us, I asked one of my mates, a Newcastle season ticket holder, what he thought about it. His ex...

You’re not near Roundwood are you?

No, my house backs on to Hurst Grange Park, hence my moniker.

What a ball that was from Cullen

Sounds like Cullen has pulled his socks up in the second half with a goal and an assist!

Ref didnt give it VAR did.

Ref ruled it out in first place,50/50 challenge which could have gone either way.
VAR just backed up on-field decision.

Just read CT’s report on the referee and seen that he comes from my neck of the woods, Penwortham in Preston.FFS!

Football fans helping football fans Bury FC are giving free entry to Morecambe fans for their home game against Chester.

Just texted my mate who is a Newcastle season ticket holder to ask him about the Dúbravka signing.
Here are his exact words.”Really good keeper. Wish he’d stayed.”
He knows his football.

One of the downsides to being a professional. I feel for him. Let’s hope he makes a full and speedy recovery.

HurstGrangeClaret

Surely the point of signing Dubravka is to provide a short term fix who is reliable and hasn’t cost the earth, enabling us to spend money elsewhere. As for the criticism over the video, it just goes to show how difficult some people are to please. I can’t think of anything to criticise how things ar...

Logged in specially for this.
Willie was just before my time but all the tributes to him say so much more than I ever could.
RIP Willie and condolences to his family and loved ones.

This really does make depressing reading.
Didn’t Labour have some kind of intention to reform the NHS?
I’m not going to hold my breath this will happen when you consider what’s happening at the moment.

The work that’s been done is wonderful. Although I haven’t lived in Burnley for 48 years, I always enjoy going up Towneley whenever I come back. It holds so many happy memories for me. It was my dad’s favourite place and I remember taking him there about ten days before he died. Although he was fail...

The fastest wingers in the league will have him on toast but because he's such a a big name I think a false level of expectation will be unhelpful. He'll be ok I think but I wouldn't expect too much. It's not going to surprise me that some goals will be conceded without having pace to cover or inte...

A signing that shows we have learned our lessons from the debacle of the VK Premier League season.
Well done AP and the board and thanks SP for making it happen.
What an exciting time to be a Claret.

I confess to being a little underwhelmed but was fully willing to give him every chance. I spoke up for him on numerous occasions during the season when the results weren’t quite there realising he was building a team from very difficult beginnings. He always spoke realistically and was always hones...

He was a nine-year-old and had been murdered on the Thursday, two days before Live Aid. The police had no real leads and I was interviewed (grilled) by them simply because of the car I had at the time. It wasn’t a pleasant experience either. DNA found the murderer in 2009 although he had died in 19...

My grandad was buried alive by an exploding shell in one of the big First World War battles.

I remember it well but sadly for the wrong reasons. At the time, I was a young cop working an early shift and looking forward to finishing at 3pm to go home and watch all the action on television.

Went to Cavtat in Croatia a few years ago and the first person I saw on getting off the boat was a bloke wearing a Burnley shirt waiting to get on.

HurstGrangeClaret

Think this is a decent signing.
I also thought the interviewer didn’t distinguish herself and came across as amateurish.
Seems a decent enough lass. Shame the club can’t give her a bit of training, especially as she’s not new to the job, and we are back in the big time.

Well done to the Nobbers. Good to see a local company sponsoring their local club, although I do accept the point regarding how lucrative the deal can be.

With our two new signings and our four signed at the end of the season, the squad is already starting to look far more balanced than the squad VK had for our PL season.
Looks like SP knows what he’s doing and nice to see AP and the board backing him.

Great pics DG.
Some welcome positivity on the board.
Having not lived in Burnley for nearly 50 years now, I love seeing these snapshots of the town.

The negativity from some posters amazes me. Here we are, not a game of the new season played, and some fans writing us off already. It’s what we strived for all last season and this is the reaction of some. We all know it isn’t going to be easy but come on! Have some faith in SP and our team and let...

He deserves to go for his mishandling of their promotion charge, but all this talk in the media that has been going on for 2 weeks now, just show that the owners are as incompetent as he is.

Think this is a massive over generalisation. Undoubtedly people spend a lot of time on their phones but to say this is the end of conversation- it isn’t.

Interesting article in the Daily Mail about this being a tournament too far that is mostly unloved but more than that- simply not needed in this time of saturation coverage of football.
I’d post the link if I could but I’m rubbish at stuff like that!

Just my best ever day as a Claret.
Even taking forever to get away from Wembley after the game didn’t detract from it.
Will certainly second the Carlsberg comment!

Yep, something I’ve been meaning to do and on seeing the BK news, I’ve joined.
Very happy with this.

I'm not discounting it. But if you are a "professional" at anything you have to be able to justify what you are professional at in terms of income created. This is the crux of it for me. Can the finance generated from ladies football justify the investment in it? Not misogynistic to say that. Why s...

I hate music or other noise being imposed on me.
For me,it’s the equivalent to goal music or music played upto kick off, at half time and full time while watching footy.
Prime example of that was the music at Wembley yesterday during and after the play off final. So intrusive and unnecessary.

Don’t know you JM but 70 is a big one so hope you celebrated it in style.

He obviously has an excellent relationship with SP and is another example of what a good man manager our manager is.
Looking forward to seeing him perform next season.

You’re right Boss but I find it infuriating when a fellow Claret behaves like this.
Like to think we’re better than that but some of us clearly aren’t.
