It's quite clearly a goal as the keeper hasn't saved it. If he touches it onto the post, the game stops.
But I don't think it should be changed though.

What if he tips it on to the post and it rolls in

Our season was based on the back 5 inc gk all potentially may not start next season seems like a crazy concept

I think it was as much about the system and the way we lined up.

I get it at its most basic level; Goal; keeper saves and its a corner; keeper saves and its held; player hits wide and its a goalkick; - what's the proposed protocol for hitting the woodwork or keeper saving it a long distance and rebounding back into play? Keeper gets a finger tip to the pen. But ...

Why couldn’t they have extended this onto the cricket pitch?

Espanyol would be a very good move for Koleosho. Although I hoped he would feature for us. His pace and direct running is what we would need as an outlet this year

Love Barnes, cant imagine him as a manager though. That said couldnt imagine Bellamy as one!

Oh no, why dont they have the new interviewer?

Yes on and off been riding for years including some semi serious bike rides / events. But havent had a bike for 5+ years and literally just want to use it for commuting now and riding on the canal than anything more serious. Will read above reviews. No objection to second hand.

CyrilEbokiPoh

United were one of the best teams in Europe when Heaton came through. City were a bit crap and Hart was probably a bit lucky in terms of timing with Given coming to the end. They were all very good at there best but I'd still have Hart third. I thought there were huge weaknesses In his game even at...

Didnt he wear a cardiff shirt on stage before!

Apologies if I’ve misread the tone of your reply, but I’ve not created any market or written any books? It’s a former colleague who has written the book about his favourite era of his team.

I think the suggestion was you had coordinated the thread on the back of your book being released

Used to live on Olympia Street. Always remember my dad telling me as a kid (maybe 5) that a Burnley keeper lived around the corner (Grew up on Mitella.) Couldn’t believe it.

I used to regularly see him in the chippy at the top end of lyndhurst road (And Adie Randall lived at the other end)

CyrilEbokiPoh

He had the easier circumstances. Heaton and Pope had to work there way back up. Not necessarily, Hart started at Shrewsbury, then multiple lower league loans before working his way up and dislodging one of the premier leagues best Goalkeepers in Prem History in Shay Given. And then stayed at Number...

Who's the best. Having never seen Mcdonald I'd go Heaton. He was the most rounded.

Hart obviously had the best career. For Burnley I would go Heaton just above Pope.

I liked McVeigh and he was a big reason we ended the 19 game winless run under Cotterill. I was disappointed we didn't sign him, but we did get Blake back instead.

I listened to a pod cast with him on Ben Fosters Pod recently and he comes accross really well.

It really is a British thing. Went to Blackpool for the weekend with all the family, had a great day swimming in the sea on Saturday, fish and chips for 11. When we packed up we had 4 plastic bags of rubbish we took away. I don't know why we bothered. The amount of empty cans, pizza boxes, rubbish ...

Maybe if they'd just pleaded guilty from the off and thereby saved lots of Police and court time and costs, etc they might have received a lesser sentence.

They would have. But my point is, it seems very heavy regardless. Not that they shouldnt be seriously punished.

Another thing of players for Dyche, Allardyce and others such as Warnock, McCarthy, Pulis (the "dinosaurs") is that the vast majority of players who have played for them enjoyed their time, which goes to show you can have all the facilities, money, staff, best players etc in abundance but you also ...

I saw their fans going mad about their 'special' 150 anniversary home shirt as basically no effort has been put in. I went on their offical site to have a nosey and it was a really odd announcement, saying something like 'it's not the big reveal we'd hoped for, but here you go'. Weird club. Had to ...

A mate of mine has just had his book published on this very subject Love it fair play. will have a look at this. Have listened to a few podcasts with players from that era (Nicky Hunt among others) and always a fascinating listen. Allerdyce was much like Dyche in that he rightly got questioned in s...

It fell out that summer. Alopecia. Made him stand out though. Deserved his move to the prem with West Brom in the end. He really took his chance.

He obviously had talent. But I remember thinking the bald head made him more noticeable.

I never watch any of these. it's the first full one I have watched. But what a top guy from that interview. Very grounded. Mature beyond his years. And seems like a respectful person too. If he is as good on the field as our last dutch left back(s) we have some talent on our hands too! I'm hopeful h...

Remarkable that the oldest two are from Burnley and Blackburn. Cool fact!

Nice kit. Very nice in fact. But weird photo shoot. Especially with Barkley who is unlikely to be there!

He was due to be on the bench before Chaplow got his debut. He pulled up injured in the warm up allowing Chappy to get his chance ( only yts in the boot room who had his bag of kit with him) the rest is history he had a good career but wasn’t even making the starting line up for the reserves at the...

Wiliams and Baird weren't the same era Williams played under Coyle in 08-09 and missed the playoffs (did his loan expire?) Baird played under Dyche when we were promoted in 14 Well I never. I remember Williams being around the same time as Varga. I had no recollection of Baird being a Dyche signing...

The 2010s is incredibly low.

It was basically the same starting 11 every week for 7 years of it under Dyche.

It’s only a one off at this stage. But the signing of Walker reminded me of some of the players Bolton signed under Allerdyce. Experienced, very talented players at the tail end of their career but still with an attitude and desire to play at the top. And forgetting Okocha, Hierro and Campo. They ac...

Phil Gray is one I always find weird.
