Which teams do they support?

Couldn’t resist a look though…

Brooks has never reffed Leicester City, Bankes any of the Merseyside clubs, so now they’re out of the running should be okay.

Let’s hope he’s a big Liverpool fan and doesn’t fancy a Man United win

NewClaret

Last throw of the dice and a pathetic attempt to influence future decisions imo. Look at the owner and his history. How far do we go back ? Do we look at all the appalling decisions that have been made this season for a number of clubs ? They benefitted from the ludicrous decision when we played th...

NewClaret

Fair play. I’d love more songs to get going on the turf. But think abba is a very poor choice. I’m still fuming that we never got the Andre Bikey (hang the Dj) by the smiths chant going. Missed the boat with that one Thought we had a decent repertoire on Saturday, even sang my favourite “come to Ew...

Give them a chance its their 1st ever post less than an hour after joining the Forum

Yes, welcome to UTC ToEyresIsHuman, don’t take any of the banter seriously.

We do like new song ideas. Makes a nice change from the bickering

NewClaret

Tell you what song I did like on Saturday:

“We all dream of a team of Sander Berges”… nearly got going. Need to stick at that one.

NewClaret

I just can’t see the CFS singing “I believe in rainbows”

NewClaret

Connor Roberts out injured for two weeks apparently. Better news than the rumours of a more serious injury anyway.

NewClaret

If it’s empty surely the council can do a compulsory purchase order?

Such an eyesore that the council need to do something about.

Was it Liverpool FC ladies or another team from Liverpool that they played ? Great win if it was THE Liverpool.

Don’t think Liverpool Feds are related to LFC.

Emailed them yesterday and received an initial response at 9:03 today. They might be crap on the pitch but clearly not off it.

I hope you didn’t include that in your email Tony

Would be rubbing salt in the wounds somewhat.

NewClaret

Not so sure that's the setup that VK wants to be in, I can't see Bloom/Brighton affording him the same level of involvement/responsibility/influence that he does here at Burnley, although it's definitely the calibre of club VK would probably be interested in. I think this could all be hot air thoug...

Didn’t know that - that’s brilliant. Will make one of them

NewClaret

There you go - kill two birds with one stone. Not to mention that even the adult pitches that are up and down the country on training complexes/recs/whatever aren't the same size as the pro women play on. I can also remember moving up to adult pictures as a 10/11 year old and thinking how ginormous...

NewClaret

Yeah this is pretty close to my assessment. Assignon does invert but not as much as Maatsen or in the same way, very neat dribbler who likes to beat a man and weave through the box rather than drift into space inside near the area. His attitude does bother me, he'll commit petulant or sloppy fouls ...

NewClaret

Be fine at the higher level but realistically at the lower level they aren't going to be converting thousands of men's pitches (and imagine the wailing and nashing of teeth if they did). When U13’s kids are being asked to play on full sized pitches/goals every week across the country I think possib...

NewClaret

Wasn’t able to make the game yesterday as my match crashed with it, although would’ve struggled having been out all day yesterday. Hope to see more of the womens team at Turf Moor and the proceeds put towards the development of the team. 2nd is a great result given they were up against a heavily inv...

NewClaret

That would be an example of corruption. More likely is the opposite effect, positive corruption if you will, where they get the next half dozen 50/50 shouts so we can all be told that it evens itself out. Have to say, that’s how it feels to me - they’ll get everything now they’ve shone a light on i...

NewClaret

Not sure ex pros would work. For me, simplify the system. There’s no one on VAR. Just the ref that can check. Each team has 2 checks per half. If a check is made and the ref overturns the decision that team still has 2 check remaining. If not the team has 1 remaining. No check can last longer than ...

NewClaret

pretty sure everyone in the away end jumped around and celebrated when the goals went in, brilliant that Kompany did it after the game - it's going to be vital that there is a connection there going forward especially when the going is tough. Everyone was singing “here’s to you Vincent Kompany” as ...

NewClaret

The players commits to the club subject to contractual clauses True point and I personally wouldn’t agree to any clauses that give a player a right to leave on relegation. It wouldn’t shock me if one existed, because we know it did with Cornet and I suspect Weghorst, but I don’t think Berge came wi...

NewClaret

I was there and I enjoyed it. So delighted he did it.

As NottsClaret said, if you don’t enjoy the good moments in football - especially in a season like ours - what’s the point?

"Wonders" was the VAR official at Stockley Pk covering the Semi between Cov and Yoontid a Yoontid fan ruling out the "injury time in extra time" goal for a toenail offside

These toenail offside decisions are infuriating. We just need to scrap VAR.

NewClaret

Why would you advise a club that a points increase is unlikely. The options available should be clearly defined and able for a club to refer to. To state that a points increase is unlikely is almost encouraging a club to appeal. Just read it again, actually says ‘sky sports news has been told a poi...

NewClaret

A quick Google states their appeal is set to be heard on Wednesday. No date for decision yet. Same article suggests they were given a 6 point deduction reduced to 4 points due to an 'early plea' and 'cooperation'. Can't imagine they're still seen as cooperative. An appeal certainly doesn't indicate...

NewClaret

What they have done here in making the Luton reference is question the integrity of the referee. That has to be unacceptable. I assume they will get a charge from the FA that will end in a fine. Correct and exactly what will happen. How’s the injuries Tony? Hope you’re not too badly bruised today.

NewClaret

It would be great to have him for one year in the Championship. Will he want to stay, though? Probably not. My point above is more that when players sign contracts they commit to the club for a period. If we wanted to not sign Tresor now for example, we couldn’t just decide ourselves not to bother ...

Fancy us getting something at Old Trafford. United play today and Wednesday before Saturday, and they are pretty shite.

Need a few reds and injuries in those games

NewClaret

Forest are only team we could possibly catch. Last game against them will be meaningless. How many points do we think we can get away to united home to Newcastle away to spurs. Very few in my opinion. Agree with this, I don’t think there will be many A freak result at home to Newcastle will be our ...

NewClaret

The galling thing is a change of keeper has led to six games and 9 points with goals conceded of 7 and that with our keeper costing us 3 points or maybe more Even if we lose the next 4 games that is 9 from 10 as opposed to 14 from 28. It is hard for me to believe a change of keeper sooner would not...

NewClaret

If we really have any intention to establish ourselves as a premier league team again in future we MUST keep Sander in summer. He’s one of the only few who’s looked premier league class all season. The posts above about ambition or being deserving of a premier league team I understand but at some po...

NewClaret

My only black mark against him is how often he carries the ball to about 25yds out and he is still looking for the pass. Have a do lad, chance your luck. It’s a simple percentages thing there. The chances of scoring outside the box are so much lowe than inside it. Any good coach would tell him to p...

NewClaret

Really sorry to hear that Tony. That must have have been a huge shock… followed by an even huger one - am away win.

Hope you heal quickly and the wrist doesn’t prevent the match report.

NewClaret

Just watching them and the goal difference really should’ve been higher tonight.

Should’ve been 8 or 9 nil.

NewClaret

Didnt we sell nearer 18 thousand last year in total, leaving a % for walk ons etc. Whatever the final total will be, its great to see so many still want to attend matches……..and why would you not, its going to be great next season ;) No, max is either 16k or 16.5k. When allowing for hospitality, aw...

NewClaret

It's a great effort, and good to see that so many are renewing. Reading this forum, you'd think we'd be lucky to get more than 12k renewing. Then again, some of the biggest whingers on here don't go anywhere near. What’s also quite funny is how few posts the positive news threads get. Don’t hear fr...

NewClaret

It must be very close to this season, as we can only sell around 16/17000, with having 2250 for away fans and having to leave a similar number for 'walk ons'. I’ve just found a post from Burnley saying that we’d sold 15,000 in the week before the early bird closed last year, so we’re broadly in lin...

NewClaret

Seems nearly everyone then!

Brilliant effort. Will have to see how many on the waiting list buy now to see if we sell out again.

NewClaret

That’s an absolutely fantastic effort.

Well done clarets and it’ll be interesting to see how many of the waiting list now buy tickets.

Was it 16,000 or 16,500 we sold this year?

NewClaret

Oh my word, I’m so sorry to hear this.

Thoughts with his family and friends at this difficult time.

NewClaret

I think if we sold out of season tickets again it would be amazing. Considering the negativity you see on here, it doesn't seem to translate into ticket sales When you look through the Matchday threads it’s quite often very clear that the most negative don’t attend matches. Or aren’t season ticket ...

NewClaret

I think 15k was about the limit. 3k walk ons needed. 2k for corporate 2.2k for away fans Fag packet maths is 22.5k so a bit of wiggle room 21.5k capacity I think this year we had 16,500 ST holders so 15,000 would be a reduction on that, but if the waiting list really is 2,000 then my 15,000 project...

NewClaret

You would like to think so, there was a slight increase in capacity when the away seats were changed for plastic. That’s correct. On the stadium tour a while back I was told capacity increased by 250 when the away end was changed to plastic. Given it only looks about a third of the stand, you might...

NewClaret

if you can believe the ticket office, they told me about 14000 were sold when i went in on the Brighton game I imagine that’ll creep up to maybe 15,000 with annual payers leaving it till the last minute to renew. Good effort if we can get 15,000. Anyone remember what it was last season in the Champ...

NewClaret

Presumably Ian, there is evidence of the current standing arrangements in the CFS being unsafe? The CFS in it’s entirety is inherently unsafe by today’s standards and requirements. 600 people moving in and out of the outside seating area through 1 access and egress point is shockingly bad, as is th...

NewClaret

Grimsby have done the same.

Absolute disgrace our national game and cup is being manipulated by a small number of clubs looking after their own self interest.

Surely they’ll have to back it out like the super league? The government should intervene.

NewClaret

Yes it is. And I don't want Burnley FC to be run like a business. I want Burnley FC run by someone whose ambition is for Burnley FC to continue in existence for ever, while playing football as well as we can. I don't want it to be run by someone whose ambition is to make money. I will respond to yo...

Great summary, thanks. However, would the alleged events in the quoted paragraph not be fraudulent?

I’m pretty certain they would be, albeit difficult to prove if what was said or inferred between parties I imagine.
