A bit? A bloody lot!

Falcon

I suppose with us it is still arguably Claret. If you look over our historical shirts we've had all different shades from plum to a reddy pink.

And the badge is still the old badge, just monochrome. A change yes, but not as drastic as Salford's was.

Falcon

Imagine putting her in the PL and the pressure getting to her, causing her to bomb it every week. Would ruin her self-confidence. Better to let her play her way into it now she has a tour card. Keep winning events and move your ranking, featuring in TV tournaments to get more experience of them, and...

Falcon

Consulting on how they feel about the current badge as well

Falcon

The only thing stopping her is herself. She's said previously she doesn't particularly like playing with the men, but she has the talent to beat any of the blokes on her day.

Where are you based? I've been out today in a t-shirt, if the wind calms down it's pretty nice. Weather meant to be fine until January where it turns cold for a couple of months.

It was 6 degrees this morning in Burnley.

Falcon

Sadly there's no way the Czechs will fail against Gibraltar, as it would have been great to see the Faroes make the play-offs.

Scotland are assured a play-off spot now, and can win the group by beating Greece and Denmark (easier said that done).

Falcon

I'd say he is the favourite. Has had an average of 97.88 in the group stage.

Van Veen (98.41) and Greaves (97.00) are throwing good averages too though.

Falcon

Heating went on weeks ago.

I'm not poor, I can afford to have it running when required. Life's too short to sit in my house shivering,

Falcon

Nostalgia ain't what it used to be

Falcon

They put the first 10% of tickets on sale a few days ago and they sold out in minutes.

If people will pay those prices, then they're going to continue to charge them. That's capitalism folks

Falcon

I feel this conversation has gone off on a tangent a bit.

Question , why do women wear make up and stick on lashes when playing football , also do men wear aftershave before taking the field ?

Some women wear make-up, some don't. Some men wear aftershave, some don't. Personal preference I'd imagine.

dreaming of wrestling with Katie Hopkins

I jut did a little bit of sick in my mouth.

Back on topic, very sensible comments by Parker. Players need time after injuries to get back up to speed. I'm sure Broja will have a part to play later this season once he sheds some of the rustiness.

Falcon

So unfair on Ipswich this, forcing them to be exposed to Blackburn TWICE. Poor buggers.

Tulsi used to the best kebabs in Burnley, since its shut i haven’t found a place half as good.

Agree re Tulsi.

Burnley Kebabz seemed a decent replacement but have only had it once.

Falcon

Either call it 1-0 final score or replay last 10 mins.

A full rematch seems unfair on Blackburn.

Falcon

The judges must have been gutted that neither Barcelona and Real Madrid made the CL final so they couldn't gift the men's prize to one of their players. They had to settle for giving it to Bonmati on the women's side.

The best kebabs don’t come in naan breads or pittas, they come in durum wraps. You tend to get good ones in the major German cities, I remember a fantastic one in Düsseldorf. When I stay at my brother’s in London we have found a gem called City Kebab in Stoke Newington. An old Turkish guy, a master...

I've been to three rugby union matches with work (entertaining clients) and I found it very confusing without a TV commentator telling me what the ref is giving penalties for, not helped by being hammered by half-time thanks to a free bar. One of the matches was at Sale and it was surreal seeing all...

Falcon

That's super interesting to me

Falcon

In general the town centre I think you're either going to get somewhere that does food, or somewhere that has footy on, but not both.

Inn on the Wharf might be a shout maybe?

Falcon

I used to use Tulsi - they had an incredible mixed shashlik on naan that could feed two people on its own - but that place shut down.

I tried Turkish Best but it was awful.

Tried Burnley Kebabz most recently and they were actually almost at Tulsi standard so that would be my rec.

I've eaten and enjoyed most of the items listed above. I ain't a fussy eater. I don't like coffee and coffee flavoured things, uncooked celery, grapefruits - all taste unpleasantly bitter to me. Also don't like horseradish. Pretty much anything else goes down the hatch. My problem (due to sensitive ...

Be the change you want to see in the world! Write an article - I'm sure Tony would publish it.

I've been to watch them when they've played matches at the Turf in recent years. Would love them to do that more often.

Falcon

Does it stop you going? Do the announcements on tv telling what's on next, annoy you as much, even though you know what's coming on? Not at all, but it makes the product a little bit less enjoyable. If enough separate factors make the product a little bit less enjoyable then the product becomes a l...

WE ARE MOMENTS AWAY FROM KICK OFF

Yes I know, knobhead.

Top of the league having won three and drawn one (and the draw was away to Wolves, the 2nd best team in the league)

Falcon

Run it like the North American or Asian federations do. Have a first round featuring only the lower ranked teams only to weed them down to just a small number, before adding the big boys in for round two. For example: 55 UEFA nations competing for 16 World Cup places: Round 1: Teams ranked 25-55 are...

If it weren't for the play-offs Burnley would not have got promoted to the Premier League at Wembley thanks to a Wade Elliott stunner.

Long live the play-offs I say!

Bastardettes I reckon

Falcon

Hard to judge any team's window until a good few months in I'd say. For example, on paper Liverpool have done great business but Isak might flop. I'm going to say, a cautious 7/10. We could've done with another forward and another centre back, and could've shipped a few more out the door, but only t...

I quite like Squaredle

It's nothing like Wordle (other than the name) but it's a nice puzzle

Falcon

If we do then I'd imagine we'd have to win at least 2 out of Forest, Leeds and Wolves. It'll take some doing given the high quality of the rest of the opponents.

You can only assume he's been tapped up by another side.

Spurs catering offering . For a true “ superstadia” the actual on ground fare is p1ss poor , their pies are a disgrace . Their fancy beer pouring is also vaguely comical . That said it’s their extensive hospitality+ bars- restaurants etc that net them most £££ . I can vouch for that. Have been in h...

I had a Favela but will be going back to Poretti next time - much nicer pint.

Haffners pie was better than the old Hollands option.

When I first heard the name I just assumed it was one of their mates!

Do we need to charge more for tickets?

No. Income from tickets is dwarfed by the TV income and prize money in the PL.

Falcon

Reasons are probably a combination of things

- Vehicles are heavier on average nowadays (rise of electric vehicles)
- Extreme weather events happening more often of late (climate change)
- Council budgets have been gutted in the last few years (at risk of going all political)

Falcon

A Tory amendment that would allow alcohol back into the stands at football matches was also voted down. Both this and the Lib Dem proposal are excellent ideas.

Thanks @falcon, I'll look out for it (BadBeatBob)

Ps - they did a manual reset, so I'm in!

Hi Matt,

Someone has just been sacked by their team for inactivity.

Upshot is, you're now in and have been assigned to Haydock Clarets. Feel free to change the team name if you wish.
