Really excellent to get a point against a quality Portugal team on form. We restricted them to very few chances and their goal was somewhat fortunate, but a great strike. They control possession and we looked tired, especially in midfield. We gave the ball away too much, but we were always under pre...

I know I am a grumpy old man, but Phil bloody 'Tuffers' Tufnell continually ruins my enjoyment of Test Match Special. His inane observations or so called expertise just makes me turn the radio off. "whoo yea no yea - he gives it a right old biff" "whoo yea no yea - he don't arf bang em in" "whoo yea...

Pope 9 - He was excellent. So good for him to keep commanding catching and punching. It relieves the pressure on the defense - even if he occasionally drops a ball. Bardsley 8 - Battled well all night - makes it so difficult for attackers Long 8 - He's done really well with no match time this season...

I think a lot of people on here are missing what Sean himself said. Not an exact quote but something like, "We often have disagreements but I like to park them quickly." That to me suggests that any disagreement is now 'Parked' and they have moved on. Sean has lost two 'Past it' players and kept on...

Hbclaret007

It looks like Sean has got fed up with the financial constraints. The board will need to look for further investment to keep him satisfied and moving the team forward, otherwise it will be just a matter of time before he looks elsewhere.

Will they tempt SD to return?

Hi All
Just spotted the NOW TV offer of £25 per month.
https://www.nowtv.com//choose-passes/sk ... onth-boost

I can't see whether you are committed to 3 months to get the £25 pm deal?
I don't need 3 months, but it might be worth taking a look at.

Thanks all

Does anyone know if the car park at Barley is open?
I'm thinking of venturing out next week for a short walk.
Thanks

I can't listen to him either - I thought it was just me being old and grumpy.
I find him condescending and dull.

Hbclaret007

It rained Sunday morning!!
Surely that watered the pitch?
What a twerp

Hbclaret007

Really great performance from the clarets yesterday. Best of the season so far for me.
Very unlucky not to win it - well done to SD and the team.

And it annoys me that this board is very quiet when we do well - I suppose it shuts the moaners up

We attended a pre-match service in the Memorial Garden yesterday. It was organised by the garden management group and was a really wonderful event. Poems and short prayers for the loved ones who had passed away during the year. This is an excellent facility, well managed and a lovely place to go to ...

Does anyone know whether I can buy this season's programmes from the club shop?

Thanks

Hbclaret007

We won't be the only team made to look ordinary by this Liverpool team, and unfortunately a day when they get the big break of luck and gift them a goal is never going to be a day when we get a result against them. Pope - 7 - A superb finger tip save to push Salah's drive onto the post, and a coupl...

Hbclaret007

Pope 7 - Not a lot to do - a good tip over but a bit of hesitation Lowton 6 - Good going forward, but doesn't get tight enough defensively - I think he will struggle this season against better wingers Pieters 7 - Got better as the game went on - Great cross for the second goal - not sure about his d...

My mother sadly passed away earlier this month and Friday was her funeral. She was born in Todmorden and we held a service in the town before travelling to the crematorium in Burnley. She was a life-long Burnley supporter (90 years old) and we had booked the club for the wake. The hearse and cortege...

Please help a gormless fool - i've mixed up my new and old season tickets - are the latest claret or blue (blue I think)?
No dates to differentiate!

Always better to post the day after, but from yesterday I don't think it makes any difference :cry: Hart 5 - Can't blame him for the penalty or the shot through the crowd. Didn't see the 5th goal. Left woefully exposed for the first, but he never commands the box. Certainly could have done better wi...

Hbclaret007

I agree with claretspice. Playing any of Colin's teams, you know they are going to be physical and bomb the box. Losing Tarky was a blow and we were certainly hanging on for much of the game. Cork and Westwood really struggled to keep the ball. I'd have gone 5 in midfield perhaps? Hart 8 - excellent...

I think we were a better side with Ings and Vokes, despite Tall Paul's facts about Gray providing more assists than Ings, I see what you mean, Ings' press from the front was a big factor in our success. We were an awful footballing side with Gray in both leagues, proper horrible side, the worst i'v...

Sorry Worcestershire - not Northants

Last week's 202 run defeat in the county championship - unfortunately.

Hbclaret007

Having been recently hammered by Northants, and failing to even qualify from the group stages of the one day cup, the season is looking poor for Lancs. With two very good signings - Jennings and Onions - and a decent crop of home grown and overseas players, I expected them to push on this season, bu...

How can we expect to compete with these major cricketing nations with on 5 yorkies in the side?

Being a Burnley fan is a very important part of my life. The key for me is the integrity of a club which has been successful by simply winning football matches. We have one of the smallest fan bases in the top two leagues. Burnley is a poor working class town. We have never had any significant finan...

What really annoys me are people who just don't need a haircut taking up chair time.
Groomed young lads are the worst. Should not be allowed.

I agree with most of Dark cloud's review. I thought we were sloppy in the first half and should have looked to slow things down. We certainly improved in the second half and could easily have won it. Stats look good. We would have been punished by a better team, but still a good point. Pope 7 - Agre...

Ha ha ha - a fantastic opportunity for all the naysayers to jump back out of their boxes. Well done guys. :( Chelsea were the better side and underlined the difference between the top 6 and the rest. We had some below par performances, but nothing like the mass hysteria of throwing around ratings of...

I even bought a twix on Saturday - And one stick was a bit squashed, but I didn't complain.

We've been here before, it's not much of a spectator sport if you're used to watching men's football. But the fact thousands of women are enjoying playing it, joining clubs and getting involved is only a good thing. If showing the odd game on telly encourages a few more, why not. I don't get the an...

I watched most of the FA cup game between Chelsea and Man City ladies yesterday. There is no doubt that they are technically skillful, but for me it still has a feel of watching park football. The second Chelsea goal was well taken, but the City goalie look very lightweight. I am trying to be object...

Another great victory on Saturday. Having made a fantastic start at 2 nil up after just 10 minutes, I think it was difficult to know whether to push on or defend. We did sit back and Leicester had nothing to lose, therefore it was always going to be a defensive performance. We do this very well, wee...

Very good programme - not a flat cap, whippet or terrace house in sight. Not even a mention of 'little old Burnley'
We have finally broken the stereotypes! UTC

I think Liverpool are the side most likely to challenge City next year, VVD is one of the best central defenders in the world and Naby Keita who's joining in the summer is very very good. 2 or 3 players short but Klopp is fantastic. Disagree completely about VVD, but agree Liverpool could be very s...

Good to see Timmy Taylors trying to develop new beers. The Knowle Spring can be good, but not towards the end of the barrel. Tried Cook Lane IPA last week which was poor, but really like their Poulter's Porter - more of a winter ale. I do like the aeration that hand pumps give the beer rather than d...
