Are we approaching or have past the previous record amount to be won on the first goal sweep? How many rollovers have we had now? A goal in the 43rd minute tonight please!

claretburns

When that first goal went in, we were halfway through singing Que sera sera and my arms were just frozen in mid air for about 2/3 minutes, the utter belief we were going to do it and had done it to be hit by that killer blow was a gutting experience.

Derby now preparing to appeal against the appeal.

When I have seen Phil Neville interviews, he comes across as very arrogant and an unpleasant person, living off his fame of the "class of 92" when he was the worst player.

claretburns

Get well soon Steve! I didn't realise he was at Shrewsbury town. I always think of John Bond in his flatcap hiding in the stand when we went down there in the cup. We won 2-1 from memory, a great night game. Had a very good start at Shrewsbury with 1-0 away wins at Lincoln, Doncaster and Hull who w...

Another stat - the 22 goals we have conceded is the second best we've ever had in the Premier League at this stage. Goal differences after 17 games in the Premier League 2017/18 - plus 4 2019/20 - minus 7 2016/17 - minus 12 2020/21 - minus 13 2009/10 - minus 14 2014/15 - minus 14 2018/19 - minus 18...

Shaw should have gone so still not done the job properly

claretburns

Got to wait for the line ups to see which injured players have made a return and see any players missing due to COVID. Would go for a 2-1 defeat.

claretburns

Has Richardson been injured or in contact with the COVID cases or keeping him back for first team if needed?

claretburns

Spot on. The Football League got it right this season in the League Cup - no VAR until the semi final. Not disagreeing with you, but say we had a lower league team get through to the semi like a Burton like the other year, and they were drawn at home, would VAR still have been used for that one gam...

claretburns

Probably the one year i don't care if we win or lose, obviously great for the club if we win the FA Cup or at least have a good cup run but could you imagine being in the FA Cup final in May but not being allowed to attend or limited numbers and you don't get a ticket, would be gutting.

Who is Mark Wright?

So non-celeb reality TV type who has made a career from being thick and marrying a Coronation Street actress.

claretburns

Another problem with football is occurring now in the Crawley game, Mark Wright coming on as he is doing a documentary, pathetic.

claretburns

Here comes Mark Wright, due to this I want Leeds to score 4 now in last minute and dump Crawley out, pathetic.

claretburns

Absolutely - and one thing for sure, you won't be manager there very long given the "We've got to win a promotion every year," quote from, I think, Phil Neville. I think it was in the second season when they were having a meeting about player recruitment and Gary Neville saying they need to target ...

claretburns

It is an interesting watch but interesting in the way that it shows exactly one of things that is wrong with football currently.

Half time scores:

Barnsley 0-0 Tranmere
Bristol City 1-1 Portsmouth
Chelsea 2-0 Morecambe
Cheltenham 0-1 Mansfield
Crawley 0-0 Leeds
Man City 3-0 Birmingham

First goal goes to Mansfield away at Cheltenham.

Magic Sponge - Host pretty annoying in Rob Beckett and Jimmy Bullard but some of the guests have been good, recommend the Ray Parlour, Tony Warner (2 parts) and Graham Stack episodes. Undr The Cosh - Jon Parkin and Chris Brown hosting, recommend the Geoff Horsfield, Chris Kirkland, Clarke Carlisle (...

Chelsea vs Morecambe... would love Morecambe to win.

Burnley feel in the Morecambe team today, loan players Adam Philips and Ryan Cooney both play and also Harry Davis, born in Burnley, son of Steve Davis, at centre back starts.

claretburns

I remember seeing Lee Nicholls years ago in a lower league play off game, sure it was played at Cheltenham, not sure if he played for Cheltenham or the opposing team, but he was only 19 or 20 at the time and he had a great game and thought he will do well but then nothing happened unfortunately.

Really looking forward to Marine v Tottenham, regardless of the score it will be a day to be remembered for Marine. They have just signed Clitheroe player manager and ex Burnley player Dave Lynch for today and to put into context play in the same league as Colne, Ramsbottom, Clitheroe, Brighouse etc...

Just seen ex-youth player Tom Anderson is captain of Doncaster today away at Blackburn, let's hope the right Rovers win!

Had the police contact us recently at work as a woman had been scammed out of £120,000 from her account and one of the payments were with our company, awful what happens out there.

claretburns

Just had to make a new account as I couldn't remember my old details, took 30 seconds, very easily done.

For shocks I think the below have a chance:

CHORLEY v Derby
Blackburn v DONCASTER
BRISTOL ROVERS v Sheff Utd
Burnley v MK FRANCHISE
EXETER v Sheff Wed
STOKE v Leicester
NEWPORT v Brighton

claretburns

Also with Derby but the home game, in the Coyle promotion season I think, we were 3-0 up after around 20 minutes or so, and remember the Derby fans singing "Call it off".

I suppose it’s just coincidence this is announced just as Tony Pulis is released from Sheffield Wednesday??

We don't want to repeat history with a sacked Sheff Wed manager joining us in January.

Heard a podcast with Halsey where he was the ref in the 1999 play off final between Gillingham and Man City and after the game he went out with loads of City fans and he was dancing on tables in the club whilst City fans were giving him money, always been a dodgy guy.

The change in shape when Jay came on to 4-3-3 was very positive and we deserved all 3 points from yesterday.

Not a good player, Championship level at best, pass.

90s - Bury 4-2 Burnley (my only game of the 90s to choose)
00s - Chelsea 1-1 Burnley (Penalties win)
10s - Aberdeen 1-1 Burnley (Just to see us in Europe!)
20s - United 0-2 Burnley

Lingard has no consistency. We moan about lack of goals and creativity from our attacking players and Lingard scored once last season, in the last game which I remember because someone was on the radio moaning that he'd bet Lingard wouldn't score in that season. I don't think he created many either...

claretburns

Paul Cook and Bilic also linked.

claretburns

I remember his return from injury towards the end of a season, Derby away was it? When he smashed in a goal from around 25/30 yards out and thought next season McCann will be back! Sadly it never happened.

Incredibly took nearly a year to realise he'd suffered an ACL - came back twice before finally having the surgery

Was any explanation given for this? Surely for a trained medical team/physio/doctor it should be easily spottable an ACL injury?

Didn't Lee Mason miss the handball on the line in the first minute of a Preston game around 07 or 08?

If Dyche isn't managing us tonight because he has gone to see family in Workington, then I shall be worried.

They had some England youth tournament on FA Player a couple of years ago which I watched and it was a really good stream, so hoping for the same again.

It has been announced all 32 FA Cup 3rd Round ties will be broadcast as free to air, due to the lack of interest in our tie expect it to be on BBC website.

Similar to clubs signing South Americans and sending them to play in the EU for a bit? There was a team in the 90s in Belgium, can't remember the name, who brought in all the top youngsters from Africa as they didn't require work permits them sold them after a couple of years, it is how Arsenal ori...

I like the look of Russell, he has drove well in a poor Williams car. Can't see him winning this weekend, more likely Bottas or Verstappen as it takes time to get used to a new car but he has tested the Mercedes car this season so you never know.

Games that weren't selected for live TV coverage in rounds 1 & 2 were all streamed online on the BBC Sport site, don't suppose any chance of that happening with round 3? Not sure if the TV rights the Premier League Clubs signed away during TV deals will make this not possible.

I presume this week was a test run and we start properly next week?

claretburns

24/24 in 2 minutes 37 seconds, happy with that!

I picked Villa as my obvious choice and one my second go went for Leicester today at Liverpool, knowing Liverpool's injury worries and wanting to keep them for later rounds, could be a massive mistake and both entries gone on the same weekend
