Dynamo Brest question

[minnieclaret]

Just been looking through the @burnleygoals page on twitter.
There is a goal showing as 17-12-90 by Ray Deakin against Dynamo Brest.
I can't remember the match. Is the date wrong or any information please?

[Claretforever]

No, it will be correct. I went on the game, and we also played Dimano Stavrapol (?) around the same time. Possibly a season either way.

I think we played them on FA Cup 2nd round day as we weren't in it?

I also recall us playing Huddersfield Town (two divisions above us then) for a similar reason. Seem to recall a 1-1 draw but distinctly remember the Longside singing 'we want 10, we want 10' as Huddersfield had been beaten 10-1 at Man City a week or so before.

I recall going on a friendly against a Russian ? Side prior to playing Notts Forest in the league cup 2nd round which would have been around October time of that year.

[Vegas Claret]

I went to all those pointless friendlies, I can remember Stavrapol/russian team scoring and the announcer saying "score was number 7, i've no idea how to pronounce his name" ! everyone that heard it laughed

[ClaretTony]

Here's the programme

I think all of the other friendlies had 2,000 - 3,000+ on then, Inc the Huddersfield game I mentioned?

[ralph]

87-8 2057 on against Huddersfield including me that was a Cup tie Saturday as was the PNE friendly att 1630 we'd gone out of the FA Cup to Bolton in round one - The games against Brest and Stavropol were night matches - I was on them all

[minnieclaret]

Thanks for all that guys. I must have been in a time warp. I don't remember any of them.

[ralph]

You didn't miss much

Have a childhood memory of watching the Huddesfield friendly from the longside sure Steve Taylor scored!

[ralph]

Yes he did and perhaps more notably young Mr Hooper scored against PNE

[RammyClaret61]

Programme from the tour to Russia. The Burnley team is a bit out of date. Worked out it's the 88 Wembley squad.

Had coffee with Mike Conroy last week, took this to show him. He was amazed to see it.

How did you manage to figure out its the 1988 squad?
And how on earth did you end up having coffee with Mike Conroy?!!

[ralph]

I think if you translate the whole programme one of the Russian clubs ,and I think it's that one ,seemed to have confused us with our friends from Oakwell

[ralph]

How did you manage to figure out its the 1988 squad?

by translating the cyrillic alphabet into ours

[RammyClaret61]

Just by looking at the names. You can work out the played. You can workout Comstive, Britton, Oghani.

I live in the same city as Mike Conroy.

[minnieclaret]

He's looking good,Rammy.
I hate it when ex-athletes let themselves go to lard.

[NottsClaret]

All my feelings for Mike Conroy just came rushing back. Confusing.

That pre-season Dynamo Moscow game was a bit of a mismatch.

[Bfc]

I had been having a conversation with Mike Conroy when he told me he had no programmes to look back at, from his time in the game at Burnley. As I had a lot of spare ones, I picked out a selection of games he had featured in.
At the time he had moved to Fulham, so I met him there after the game and handed him a carrier bag to look inside for himself. It was a delight seeing him fingering through them, recalling the matches. It made his day and mine.
A similar thing happened when talking with Ray Pointer, who had lent someone (he couldn't remember who), his scrapbook and they never returned it. I looked through my scrapbooks and picked out lots featuring Ray and presented them to him, which made him happy to then be able to show his grandchildren, some of his goal scoring feats. It was payback for the time as a schoolboy, he autographed about 50 photos I had in a scrapbook.

He's looking very much like you these days Rammy - who's the other bloke?

[RammyClaret61]

Mikes the one in the blue top!

[clentclaret]

Where do you live?

[RammyClaret61]

Melbourne.

[Steve1956]

Melbourne.

Do you not miss home,it's freezing here in sunny Edenfield?

[RammyClaret61]

Yep. Miss it tremendously. Been here 6 years now, only been home once so far. Been hot this week, temp in the 30's. Miss matchdays mostly, but we've a good thing going here with Melbourne Clarets. Just over 30 of us in and around Melbourne. We'll be in the pub Sunday morning for the game, about 15 of us I think.

Oh, and I miss bacon butties from Paul's at Stubbins!!

[Steve1956]

That shop is a little gem Rammy
