A reminder that it was on Good Friday in 2022 when Sean Dyche was sacked by Burnley with the club headed for Premier League relegation. Good Friday 2023 and Vincent Kompany has taken us back to the top flight. 2 Good Friday's that will live long in the memory for vastly differing emotions, and it's ...

I think he joins Duff on three. I'd give him another season personally, because I love him. Ah yes forgot about Duff. I love him too, but we can't award contracts based on sentiment, although if he does move on we will need to bring in at least 1 new striker and possibly 2 depending on whether we r...

All good things have to come to an end, and although Ash has been excellent these past few months it's probably right that he bows out on a high.

3 promotions he's won in his time at Burnley, is that a club record?

tiger76

Well! we've experienced worse days as a Claret.

tiger76

We'll win the title, Vinny is a winner and he won't accept 2nd best.

tiger76

Credit to everyone concerned for such a brilliant season, now let's kick on and secure the title.

No surprise our experienced heads played a major role tonight, Barnes and Roberts with the vital goals, but Cullen and JBG both imperious in a pressure cooker atmosphere.

Why am i nervous ??

The nature of being a footy fan.

tiger76

Great time to grab the lead again, now let's kill this lot off.

tiger76

So far so good, our goal might have been offside, but we have created another couple of big chances, notably Tella's that he should have buried.

Boro have made it tough as expected, but we have the option of Benson off the bench among others.

Barnes as ever relishing the big games.

tiger76

Hmm! not the best end to the day for Lancs, slipping from 108-1 to 197-8, a slight recovery from the tail as they close on 233-8, however that's still 210 behind, Jennings batted nicely for his 76, but sadly not any other notable contributions.

tiger76

Ash of course.

tiger76

Be a heck on an escape if he can pull it off, but Huddersfield now have momentum which with only a handful of games remaining could well see them over the line, and 10 points out of a possible 12 against teams vying for promotion or the play-off's is a mighty fine haul.

tiger76

Today has been fun for any Burnley fan.

Warnock working the oracle at Udders suddenly they look a side transformed, and crucially are now scoring goals.

tiger76

Yeah seems like they've turned on the players now Bruce is gone. Strange as I felt they were one of the best teams we played home and away. Funnily enough prior to visiting Turf Moor in January they were on a decent run under Corberan, but that late defeat seems to have really knocked the stuffing ...

Heard the West Brom fans singing your not fit to wear the shirt at their players today, during the defeat at Rotherham

Not a happy camp there is it, and their play-off hopes are slender to say the least now.

tiger76

He was bobbins at Spurs if I recall, 2 goals in 31 games confirms this, he does have a good goal ratio for Antwerp this season with 16 in 28, however the Belgian league is way below Prem level I suspect.

tiger76

Happy Promotion Day definitely on track.

tiger76

Normally I don't approve of 0-0 draws, but I'll happily settle for that stalemate at Millwall.

Norwich winning at Ewood, and of course Burnley winning tonight wouldn't be a bad start to the Easter weekend would it.

tiger76

Don't think that any Burnley supporter should reference a Manager who literally saved the club from many years of mediocrity in this way. Precisely many of our supporters clearly have short memories about how recently we were toiling in the lower reaches. As somebody mentioned earlier on this threa...

tiger76

At least Lancs have started well in reply, 91-1, Wells out for 24, but Jennings and Bohannon progressing tidily.

tiger76

3rd batting point for Surrey as they reach 350, didn't expect that when reduced them to 77-4 yesterday morning, shows how tough it is too roll their batting I guess.

tiger76

Boro another set of fans who have got ideas above their station since Gibson took over.

tiger76

Kane went down like he's been shot, embarrassing behaviour from the England captain.

Yes Barnes plays for free-kicks as most players do, but to remotely compare him to Kane is crazy.

And if the OP really wants to call out diving look at what Twine did a few games ago.

tiger76

If we seal promotion today then great, if not then we'll likely confirm our PL return on Monday.

tiger76

Plenty of big names atop the leader board, the European challenge led by Hovland & Rahm, although Shane Lowry shot a 68 to remain within touching distance. Rory and Tiger both struggling to make an impact, Rory +1 through 13, and Tiger finishing +2 after a 74, both could be in danger of missing the ...

Just won the Women's Finalissima beating Brazil on pens after it finished 1-1. Chloe Kelly who else with the decisive spot kick. It doesn't sound like their best performance, however Sarina Weigman is making winning trophies appear easy, of course it isn't and tons of preparation will be going into ...

Can't recall a specific thread, but Millertime the Dons fan was always good value for some bants.

Hope it's fine to post thishttps://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-leeds-65205083

She was seen in Burnley on the 28 March, but is now thought to be in the Greater Manchester region.

All being well she will be find soon.

Duly voted.

Good luck Nathan.

tiger76

Not what Keaton what have hoped for when inserting them this morning, but that is why Surrey will be a title contender they bat right down the order. Bailey as ever and Williams the pick of the attack, but the rest were far too expensive. 77-4, 164-5 and 239-6, yet they finish on 340-7 with the midd...

I watched the Leeds game. Forest looked like they couldn't be arsed. Cooper will be gone by Monday if they don't pick something up at Villa on Saturday. That certainly seemed to be the message from the owner, shape up and get results or you are on your bike Steve. The one thing that is unacceptable...

tiger76

Foakes holding Lancs up, 220-5 and he's going nicely.

tiger76

Yes we needed that wicket.

tiger76

Ireland closed on 286-8, McBrine still there on 71, lead is creeping up now 131, if they can add another 30-40 tomorrow morning they could yet pull off a comeback victory.

tiger76

A lot of this will be speculation and hot air. But we're clearly intent on doing our business early and that's the key thing here. Just need to make sure there's nothing to stop us from signing new players.... :? Can't disagree with that, and it's great that we are now proactive in the market inste...

tiger76

There'll be a lot of hot air billowing around but all the same, we're being linked with lots of names and Big Vinnie has been spotted around Europe watching players. A few of the recently linked names: Mads Hermansen Alfredo Morelos Sontje Jansen Bart Verbruggen Emanuel Aiwu We're clearly determine...

tiger76

Impressive opening session by Lancs, however Hamps are also taking wickets against Notts.

Plenty of rain around, sadly to be expected in early April I suppose.

tiger76

50 for McBrine, and the lead now past 100, Ireland giving themselves a chance here at least.

tiger76

Tucker finally gone for a brilliant 108, ending a 7th wicket stand worth 111, now can the Irish tail wag and extend the lead which is currently only 90.

tiger76

Lancs win toss and perhaps not surprisingly opt to have a bowl. I thought this season felt early and indeed it is. This is the earliest April date that first-class cricket has ever been staged at Old Trafford. Changed days since the late Victorian era when the CC dominated the whole summer. It is al...

tiger76

That’s the spirit. I can’t help feeling this intense hatred by some with regard to Rovers is a bit obsessive. Disliking them as a rival is fine and natural but when people start suggesting that beating Rovers is more important than winning stuff it smacks of jealousy in some way. I know of Rovers f...

The County Championship gets underway today although it's not quite cricket weather. The Lancashire v Surrey game is being shown live on Sky. No team yet but Lancs selecting from: Keaton Jennings (c), Tom Bailey, George Balderson, George Bell, Josh Bohannon, Steven Croft, Colin De Grandhomme, Tom H...

Yes it's that time of the year again, though if you are attending a match you might be advised to wrap up as it's still pretty chilly. 1st day of Somerset-Warwickshire has already bitten the dust due to a wet outfield. My tips to contend for the title are Essex, Hampshire, Lancs & Surrey, they proba...

tiger76

Wish Ched Evans well and hope he makes a full recovery, and all being well he'll be back playing next season.

tiger76

Ireland now making a contest of this, another 50 for Tector, and Tucker nearing his ton as the 7th wicket stand grows, lead is still only 44, but if they could get it too about 150 or so then we might yet have an interesting 4th innings to come.

tiger76

Rory is due another major I feel, what worries me is can he produce 4 solid rounds of golf, he generally leaves himself with too much ground to make with a poor opening round.

As a sidenote Sandy Lyle will play his final tournament at Augusta, be nice if the 1988 winner could at least make the cut.

tiger76

Credit to Eddie Howe, Toon looking very good although aided tonight by some abysmal Hammers defending. Newcastle did suffer a brief mid-season wobble, however Howe has managed to get them motoring again, and every chance now that he'll take them into the CL next season. The Hammers defending was se...

Totally agree and it’s five now.

Yes Moyes will no doubt be the fall guy, however some of the West Ham players need to take a long look at their pathetic display tonight.

Sadly for David this is the sort of result that can led to the exit door, rightly or wrongly.

Moyes next for the Job Centre?

Possibly but what is he supposed to do when his team defend like lemmings.

All 4 Newcastle goals could and should have been defended far better by West Ham.
